How can people not see him as an embarrassment is beyond me. This is not the first time he has acted against our best interests. He threw our allies, the Kurds, under the bus by allowing the Turks to attack them in Northern Syria.

The best thing Biden could do is find away to recharge the Blackwater killers.

Trump's pardons are meant to denigrate military and civilian rule of law.

I think the Iraqis should be encouraged to apply for extradition and we would then ship them off to serve time in Iraqi prisons.

All pardons are wrong in my mind, Even those done by Democrats

Trump just pardoned four murderers. I just heard the account of the FBI investigator. This was horrific. 17 dead and 20 wounded according to him. The BlackWater people said they were fired on first, but their vehicles had no evidence of having been hit by incoming fire. The only damage was from shrapnel from an M40 grenade launcher fired from inside the vehicle.

If the 9yr old boy killed had been your son, what would you like to say to Trump?

Absolutely despicable use of the Presidential pardon. Despicable.

Yep. He pardoned war criminals.

Bill Clinton pardoned domestic terrorists. Questionable pardons? Meh... every president engages in them. Decent chum, but doesn't amount to much.

Trump's pardons remind us that he is a psychopath, unfit to serve as president and a danger to our democracy.
