Still awaiting the final death penalty commutations, and the freeing of Leonard Peltier.

Hi Ali. Yes that would be nice. But they did say some more would be coming. The problem with Leonard Peltier being freed is he made the FBI look bad and corrupt. But I am glad to see the non-violent drug offenders get a break. This bull of being tough on crime to fill for profit prisons has to stop. Hugs

Yes, it is. I’m just among those counting hours before there is once again little to no hope for many. However, done is done, and what’s been done is good! I hope I haven’t taken away from that by asking for even more! 🙂

No Ali, asking for more goodness is never wrong. I agree with you. I just know Biden is a long time believer in the departments of the government. For him to be granting even these pardons really seems to be that he left these lists to his senior employees and assistants. I have to wonder if on most things Biden checked out after being told he must stand down and then Harris did not win either. Both him and Jill are reported to say that they both think Joe Biden still could have won. Sadly totally ignoring reality. The Harris people felt that Biden hamstrung and hurt them in the election with his statements and actions. Hugs
