To the editor: A bleak summation of our previous, current and future was smashed into our faces with an abuse of energy by each former President Biden’s and President Trump’s pardons.
Each have an exaggerated sense of how wonderful they’re. Collectively, they’ve most likely irreparably eroded one among our most elementary and cherished tenets: No man is above the regulation.
Biden started the enjoyable by pardoning his son. He then added insult to damage by pardoning members of his household for any actions going again a number of years. They’re accused of completely nothing — however, they’re harmless, in fact. What a self-serving shame.
Which brings us to Trump. My beloved fellow residents positioned a felon within the Oval Workplace, and he remained true to his scorpion nature. On his first day, he pardoned police assaulters, Proud Boys, Oath Keepers — Trump embraced all of them.
It’s bewildering that voters so frightened about inflation and their groceries picked him. However Biden presents as an equally repulsive different. Historical past will decide them each because the worst presidents ever.

To the editor: Such excellent news Trump has pardoned these convicted in reference to the Jan. 6 riot on the U.S. Capitol. I suppose which means I can go rob a financial institution and shall be pardoned after I clarify the cash is for his subsequent marketing campaign fund.
