Joe Biden may have many faults. But one strength he seems to have is that he must be one of the fastest writers in America.
In just one day Biden ‘granted’ 2,490 commutations. If we assume it took about 10 seconds to sign each of these pardons, then 2,490×10 seconds = almost 7 hours. So in that one day, Biden must have been signing pardons for about 7 hours.
On another day he ‘granted’ 1,500 commutations. So that’s over 4 hours of signing.
Of course, another possibility is that Biden actually spent most of these two heavy pardonning days in a senile doze while his controllers used a computer to draw up and sign these pardons. It’s even possible that Sleepy Joe wasn’t even aware of all these pardons which were being signed in his name.
Altogether Biden (or his controllers) signed 8,064 pardons for people who presumably could have been prosecuted for all sorts of offences once Trump moved into the White House on 20 January 2025. In comparison here are the number of pardons signed by the four presidents before Biden:
- Trump: 237
- Obama: 1,927
- Bush: 200
- Clinton: 459
Appart from Biden’s extraordinary signing skills, another thing I noticed from the above list is that Democrat presidents seem to issue many more pardons than Republican presidents. I wonder why that might be?
I wonder what sort of justice system allows this.
