    Problem now is its very difficult for Democrats to go after him about his record on Pardons - Biden has given him a free pass.

    Trump pardoned five times as many people as Biden has (so far) - although half of those were in the month of January 2021, when I would expect Biden to issue more pardons in the New Year (this isn't counting pardons for possession of marijuana which is federally illegal, but legal in various states).

    The highest number of pardons was issued by Franklin D Roosevelt, with 3687 in his four terms, although Obama did 1927 in his two terms - with 330 on his last day. Many of those were commutations of mandatory sentences issued at the height of the war on drugs.

    Yeah, I agree. Even if it was 100% factual and truthful, people either wouldn't read it in the first place or deny it, purely because of where it's coming from

    No it's not and the original story came from New York Post.

    But that's my point on here mate. We all have biases. Not saying its right but most on here will either outright refuse to read it, and if they do, just not believe it

    I made the mistake of clicking on it - but as soon as I saw it was Maureen Callahan who'd written it, then I gave up.

    Her latest Harry and Meghan articles, and her numerous appearances on GB News really give credence to her neutrality and background as an accurate journalist.

    But what if it ran a story about horseshit? If a story about horseshit was horseshit it wouldn't be horseshit. Would it?....

    The New York Post is the American equivalent of the Sun. Actually, its owned by Murdoch so is worth about as much as the Sun is.
