5. They really tried to make the 2 or 3 stinkers out of the 1500 commutations into a thing

It didn't really take. The fact that none of those people were still in prison and they were let out through a Trump admin policy kinda put a damper on it. The trolls still tried, but it was weak.

There's usually a to-do about outgoing Democratic Presidential pardons, as I'm sure there will be this year again, especially since the GOP noise machine is trying to pre-excuse Trump's imminent pardon of all January 6 related convictions. So, there will be the usual outcry about some pardon or other, probably for somebody you never heard of but will have to be very outraged about.

There's also the usual incoming GOP admin pouting session about something symbolic, like the supposed removal of the W keys from all the keyboards, or some shit like that. They'll dream up something particularly irrelevant and stupid this year too.
