Biden re: Trump Commuting Roger Stone's Sentence-"ENOUGH"

Biden campaign reacts to President Trump commuting Roger Stone’s sentence, accusing Trump of abusing his power. Full statement from @BillR

President Trump has once again abused his power, releasing this commutation on a Friday night, hoping to yet again avoid scrutiny as he lays waste to the norms and the values that make our country a shining beacon to the rest of the world.

He will not be shamed.

He will only be stopped when Americans make their voice heard at the ballot box this fall.

Enough.

5. No, but you don't make that argument in the middle of a presidential campaign.

Our imperialist, militarist sins are many, but raising the consciousness of the country to the point where these can be confronted is years of work away. Look how long it's taken to scratch the surface of racism.

COVID-19 running rampant and his concerns - Stone. He even tried to care about drugs.

14. He's probably already on a conference call with Trump and Putin having a big laugh.

With the revelation that Russia is/was paying proxies to kill our troops, that pushes Trump, Stone, et al. into the definition of literal traitors.

11. Hopefully, "enough" translates into "Take that traitor. Rot in your cell". I won't be satisfied

12. 4 more months of this spitting in our face?

I sick of wiping his spittle off my face. Watching innocent people being murdered by his black-shirted executioners with badge and gun. There is no rule of law anymore. He could go out on Pennsylvania Ave and shoot someone and we couldn't do a goddam thing about it. Is there a remedy? I am afraid he is doing all this because he knows the election is rigged and he'll be with us until he decides he's rich enough, again, and he'll pass the baton to queen Ivanka or counsellor kushner.

mean absolutely zero to him. He knows no one sees except his opponent's supporters. Time to think outside box Joe!

Look at his regulation reversals - gold mine. He reversed Obama reg that stopped sludge (with cancer causing material ) dumping by coal companies! Into the waters our kids fish and swim in.

Outside to box everyone sees Joe! Mho.

In virtually every state, and many counties, you see prisoners being released to the streets because of COVID-19.

I don’t think they’ll care if another at risk nonviolent inmate gets out of his sentence, no matter how he got released.

Too many other things to worry about and the river of concerns keeps rolling over them everyday. By the election this will hardly be a blip on most people’s radar.

The sad truth, IMHO.
