1. "Grotesque"is indeed the word that comes to mind . . . along with "soulless" . . .

may he rot in hell for the death and suffering he has caused . . . under Trump, 2020 has become the most lethal year in American history . . . he MUST be called to account after January 20 and punished accordingly . . .

2. And like most things he does, he has no comprehension of presidential customs or norms

Presidential pardons are traditionally reserved to reverse what can be viewed as a miscarriage of justice - like the pardon of Vietnam "draft dodgers" or those imprisoned for drug offenses who wouldn't be now that the laws have changed. But, as usual, Trump only uses his position to benefit himself or his cronies - who broke laws on his behalf. And some of these were pretty brutal crimes who were put away for good reason - like murder!

3. A post on tictok said the black water guy killed 17 civilians with an ak47

4. Exactly! And Trump thinks he deserves a pardon for that?!

This was not a miscarriage of justice! And now Trump's restarting executions! WTF is wrong with him?! So much for the "pro-life" party! He's doing any and everything he can while he still can to "burn this country to the ground" as was stated earlier.
