[BeerBarrelPolka]

President Donald Trump has commuted the federal life sentence for infamous Chicago-born Gangster Disciples founder Larry Hoover, abruptly ending Hoover’s yearslong quest to win early release under the First Step Act law passed during Trump’s first term.

1. This is the kind of thing Republicans put in an attack ad against Dems

2. Once upon a time.......

Can you believe this shit?

3. So the next logical question is

why aren't Dems doing ads about this? We don't even have to exaggerate, let alone lie. The ads are written for us.

[BeerBarrelPolka]

5. That's the $64,000 question

[maxsolomon]

7. Because it happened today?

Maybe there aren't deep-pocket Dem PACs that want to make the ads?

8. I think it just happened?

Though, we certainly should do so.

9. It just happened.

16. This one just happened but the RW pardons have been going on for

months, since he took office. And we need to tie them all together because they are part of a very dangerous pattern.

19. Agree.

Though, I'm sure he's not done with his pardon$, yet.

[LauraInLA]

20. I agree. Noting each individually might cause attention fatigue; maybe it would be wise to link in one ad?

15. Gotta run it through a dozen focus groups first.

It might offend someone somewhere.

14. And if we do it, we'll be racist.

And idiots will believe it.

4. Willie Horton, anyone?

[BeerBarrelPolka]

6. He might

pardon Terry Nichols for all we know.

[jmowreader]

10. I wouldn't be surprised...

...if he issued a posthumous pardon to Timothy McVeigh.

[BeerBarrelPolka]

12. Hmmm

Never thought of that.

[choie]

11. That would be something else!

[BeerBarrelPolka]

13. He has nothing to lose

in any of this. He's a folk hero to his cult. Nothing would surprise me honestly, unless he did something good.

17. Hoover... Damn. Meanwhile, Trump is trying to outdo the failures of another Hoover.

[BeerBarrelPolka]

18. Trump is off to a great start for sure
