The article isn’t loading for me, but if the headline is accurate, there is no way to logically cast this in a positive light because you’re arbitrarily playing with people’s lives to match a number that happens to be a round number in base 10.
I think we all know that there aren’t going to be exactly 250 people who deserve pardons. So either they are pardoning too many people and letting criminals go free without completing their sentences, or there are more than 250 people who deserve pardons. Imagine being the 251st person. “Sorry, but Trump wanted exactly 250, so you don’t get a pardon.”
Your in jail for smoking weed, guy next to you in there for rape, murder, armed robbery and arms smuggling alright and 250th pardoned is this guyyyy as they help the other guy up to be let go
