In all seriousness, if some governors… for example, Pennsylvania… go along with this plan before the midterms it will give the democratic candidates in their area… Fetterman… a significant boost.
“Do you want an asshole who kills dogs or a stoner for Universal Healthcare? Vote Fet!”
ETA:
The pardon has been signed!
They do.
Does a pardon make them able to vote? I know felons can’t, so this wipes that status away, so to speak?
Feel free to answer that, anyone who knows… thanks.
This is a travesty! They will release a horde of mellow fellows onto the streets and it will be a nightmare!

I was obviously not familiar with the term, ‘dank.’ I think the title of this thread plainly demonstrates why we ask posters to use clear, descriptive thread titles. Not everyone is in on the memes or the inside jokes.

To all, please drop the discussion re the thread title and use this thread to discuss the political implications of Biden’s pardons. Thanks.

Damn, I love Borowitz!!
