Donald Trump pardons former Republican Rep. Michael Grimm for tax fraud conviction.
Grimm who represented Staten Island and parts of Brooklyn in Congress from 2011 to 2015, pleaded guilty in December 2014 to tax fraud, stemming from a restaurant he owned in Manhattan. He had won reelection the previous month despite facing charges including perjury and allegedly purposely hiring undocumented immigrants.

He also pardoned someone called NBA Youngboy. A rapper apparently. I've never heard of him. But giving his wiki a cursory glance is amusing. It appears he's committed almost every crime:

Robbery, attempted murder, assault, weapons, kidnapping, drugs, fraud, etc
 
Can someone please come forward with a legitimate justification for the President of the United States to pardon so many fraudsters, tax evaders, and other non-controversially-convicted criminals? Whataboutism need not apply.

Why no "whataboutism"? Do you not want us to point out Biden's egregious pardons and pre-emptive pardons that you didn't cry about, or something?

LOL

They are fervent supporters of him and directly/indirectly gave money to him. It also helps that the media bubble MAGA people are in actively avoid these topics.

Probably a favour call from Kimmy Kardashian!

I’ll go ahead and write the post for them. They’re really quite predictable:

“Another TDS post. Get over it you lost”

Because they are both bad. I will agree. Now what? Whataboutism does not address the issue which is why it's a logical fallacy. What about breaking the cycle? The cycle can't be broken if both sides do it because the other side did it because both sides did it because the other side did it repeat to infinity.

And to be honest, I don't talk about Biden because Trump is the only person that's gotten me annoyed enough specifically to care about politics. Before him I didn't care. After his first term I didn't care as much. Now that he and MAGA are back worse than before it's made me start commenting here for the first time and actually having an opinion on politics in a more specific matter. I BEG to go back to boring politics. I'm tired of the hate between both parties and all the sensationalism. I think it's dumb.
 
How did the story of this criminal mastermind manage to fly under the radar this long?

You're wasting your time on these MAGA mouthbreathers.

No matter how much you try to bridge the gap or offer an olive branch, they won't have the capacity to be critical of their side. They truly see you as the enemy if you say anything bad about this administration, even if you say the last one was shit as well.

I just want both sides to admit this has become an absolute joke at this point. Sam Bankman Fried is probably going to get a pardon at this rate.

Yeah I saw that, absolutely hilarious to pardon that pos. Money talks though and apparently anybody with a few millions can buy a pardon.

I have heard of NBA Youngboy and I see his pardon as confirmation that Trump is selling pardons.

He also commuted the sentence of Larry Hoover. A notorious Chicago gang member that founded the GDs. Kanye probably paid for that one. The conservatives who have been crying about violence in Chicago for a decade probably see no issue with this though.
