Joe Biden can rot in hell

A judge who helped orchestrate one of the worst judicial scandals in U.S.history — a scheme to send children to for-profit jails in exchange for kickbacks — was among the 1,500 people whose sentences were commuted by President Joe Biden this week.

Biden's decision to commute the 17-year prison sentence of Michael Conahan angered many in northeastern Pennsylvania, from the governor to the families whose children were victimized by the disgraced former judge. Conahan had already served the vast majority of his sentence, which was handed down in 2011.

“I do feel strongly that President Biden got it absolutely wrong and created a lot of pain here in northeastern Pennsylvania,” Gov. Josh Shapiro, a Democrat, said during an unrelated news conference in Scranton on Friday.

The scandal “affected families in really deep and profound and sad ways,” he added. Conahan “deserves to be behind bars, not walking as a free man.”

A message seeking comment was sent to an attorney who recently represented Conahan, the former president judge of the Luzerne County Court of Common Pleas.

In what came to be known as the kids-for-cash scandal, Conahan and Judge Mark Ciavarella shut down a county-run juvenile detention center and accepted $2.8 million in illegal payments from a friend of Conahan's who built and co-owned two for-profit lockups.

Ciavarella, who presided over juvenile court, pushed a zero-tolerance policy that guaranteed large numbers of children would fill the beds of the private lockups. The scandal prompted the Pennsylvania Supreme Court to throw out some 4,000 juvenile convictions involving more than 2,300 children.

Sandy Fonzo, whose son killed himself at age 23 after Ciavarella locked him up as a teen, called Conahan's commutation an “injustice.”

I never liked mass incarceration Joe but now I hate the dude.

So many of the cash for kids victims went on to addictions and sucides and problems their lives ruined.

Why would Biden pardon this monster ???

I am genuinely pissed off right now. Go to hell Joe Biden, fall down the steps of Airforce one and break your neck, I want to see that.

 

The Bidens are perhaps the most corrupt residents to ever inhabit the White House. As scummy as the Clintons even.

 

I'm just waiting for comments from the people around here that will defend any action if the person has a (D) in front of their name.

This is the most despicable thing I have seen in politics in a very long time.

How and why did Biden chose to pardon such a soulless psychopath who deserves what he got for sure ?

 

Comments from the people here? Come on.

They'll just whine "Trump".

 

I went from angry to really wanting an explanation for this.

I guess I will get one later they defended Kamala Harris sending cops to kidnap 'arrest' parents of kids they claimed missed too much school. Followed by defending the 'doctors' involved in the risperdal atrocity.

But I don't understand why such a monster got a Biden pardon, a monster who did the opposite of pardoning to those kids.

Went from angry to a state of bewilderment.

 

Everything in this country is pretty nearly "all about the money, boys." I don't know if the prick is a repub or a dem---they're all crooked in their own ways. I reckon "we " don't know a hundredth of the ways politicians make their money--"under the table".

 

No point in worrying your brain about why. He's connected. That's the whole explanation.

There are many, many vile people connected to the Democrats.

 

Yeah. Those vile democrats. Good thing we have the honest and caring republicans to---to---uh--to---awww fuck it.

 

Damn kids. If they want to eat --get jobs! 10 year olds found working in the meat packing industry? Now there are some kids with back bone. Yeah , those vile democrats put regulations against kids that young working in industries like that---but we republicans will soon get rid of those regulations. And all the rest of them. Corporations, politicians and regular people will ALWAYS do the right thing. We don't need no stinkin' regulations.

 

Speaking of rotting in hell!

 

Does everything in your entire world need to be painted as red and blue Ds and Rs ??????

Just talk about the topic !!
Sorry but people like you is the reason we have such dirtbags on both sides cause your types will support no matter what if they have the stupid D or R label.

Package-deal fallacy - Wikipedia

 

Trump is not the topic. Trump has NOTHING to do with the topic.

Its still making the news, have not seen this on national news.

Just Hunter Biden was national news and who cares who cares I don't care he got a pardon I don't care.

 

No, definitely not for the pardon on the gun form thing.

The big pardon is the all-encompassing one that covers everything else he did for 10 years. He and his asshole father's doings in Ukraine - whatever they were. We're waiting for it all to come out.

 

CNN covered it https://www.cnn.com/2024/12/13/politics/joe-biden-commutations-pennsylvania-illinois/index.html




Did any reporter ask about this at white house press conference ?
