Did you miss all the Biden pardons, including unprecedented pardons for crimes they may commit?

No, I'm well aware of and disapprove of a number of them - this is still worse.

Are you equating Trump's pardons and commutations to Bidens? For review, Biden's were largely for non-violent drug offenders and preemptive pardons for people like Anthony Fauci and federal employees prosecuting Jan 6 defendants and the like. Save for his pardon of his son Hunter (who's own prosecution was littered with politics), Biden's were largely pedestrian.

Biden commuted many, many murderers and rapists -- not just "non-violent offenders". It was not pedestrian. Here are two: https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2024-12-24/biden-co...

Commuted from death to life in prison. Not pardoned. That's a whole different thing.

Parent post did not limit the activities to pardons only, it included both.

No, the parent did.

Do you think he would have issued those if anyone else was succeeding him? Has Trump validated those concerns?

The only reason Trump hasn't challenged the constitutionality of the pre-emptive pardons is because he indends to do the same.

Yes actually. As far as I'm aware even the President can't pardon crimes someone may commit in the future. Can you point out the ones where he did that?
