Joe Biden has commuted the sentence of the judge who received substantial financial kickbacks for sending people to prison.

Reading the article, some facts seem relevant:

The judge has served 13 yrs of a 17.5 yr sentence; he was on home confinement before Biden took office; and he would have received a lesser sentence if charged under today's laws and policies.

All those pardoned meet criteria set forth in a WH stmt.

Oh thank goodness you found a way to justify it.

I was afraid that Biden might have set free a well-connected convicted felon who ruined the lives of many young people for cash.

First of all, Cohanan didn’t ‘ruin’ anyone’s life, that just a stupidly false claim. What he did was close down a state juvenile facility and sent convicted juvenile criminals to a for-profit facility in exchange for kickbacks. These kids were going to be locked up, regardless.

Cohanan served the majority of his sentence (again, for fraud, not because he ruined anyone’s life). You need better sources than the New York Post.

Love you, mate, but Time Magazine didn’t betray anyone. Their ‘Person Of The Year’ is simply whoever the editors decide had the biggest impact on the news. It’s not meant to be laudable or praiseworthy. Previous ‘winners’ include Hitler, Stalin (twice) and the Ayatollah Khomeini.

For 97 years, the editors of TIME have been picking the Person of the Year: the individual who, for better or for worse, did the most to shape the world and the headlines over the past 12 months. In many years, that choice is a difficult one. In 2024, it was not.

In case you want to know how the TIME person of the year is chosen...bold mine.

Shaping the headlines is not the same as shaping the world. Seems to me they need to adjust the wording of their mission statement.

She’s fine as long as we restrict it to hand stuff.
