I'm going to get in a LOT of trouble for this, but..............

[George II]

I have to give trump major kudos for commuting the sentence of Alice Johnson today.

I know it was mostly for PR purposes, but who cares. Great to see her running across that road and hugging her well-wishers, and sorry to say, thanks mr. trump.

[spooky3]

1. I agree he deserves kudos when he does something right.

I think Kardashian deserves more credit for caring about the issue and persuading him to act, and then calling for a more comprehensive solution.

[canetoad]

2. Agree

A good outcome.

[ChazII]

3. It was great to see Ms. Johnson free. n/t

[brush]

4. He just did it thinking it's going to get him AA votes. I'm glad...

she out but fuck him.

Kim Kardasian West deserves the credit. trump had no idea who she was or how unjust her long imprisonment was.

[betsuni]

5. Yes, and good for Kim Kardashian.

I hope she continues to be active in things like this.

[Dyedinthewoolliberal]

6. Even a stopped clock is right twice a day.

He didn't do this because it was the right thing to do. He has some other reason.............

[SeattleVet]

13. Mine is only right once a day!

It has a 24-hour dial.

[ooky]

7. I'm glad for her. As far as giving him credit,

I'm having a block from the little children he's terrorizing on the border.

[Tavarious Jackson]

8. There are many women in her situation.

If Trump was being sincere he could have gone through the justice department and commuted the sentences of those already in line. He basically let her jump ahead of the line for show.

[lame54]

9. I thank Kim Kardashian

[JI7]

10. Kim is the one that deserves credit . Trump just did it because she showed up and took a pic with

him.

[Hugin]

11. Don't forget he threw paper towels to dying Americans in Puerto Rico.

What a mensh!

Take this tripe elsewhere.

[PaulX2]

12. Hitler Gave A Child A Candy Bar Once

Good for him.

[Tipperary]

14. Unfortunately, those similarly imprisoned who do not have celebrity friends

will continue to rot in prison.

[Beantighe]

15. I have mixed feelings about this

Alice Johnson was not some small time drug peddler trying to make ends meet. She played a vital role in a multi-million dollar Columbian cocaine ring, handling hundreds of kilos of coke and millions of dollars. There are thousands of people in this country doing hard time for petty drug charges - and I would applaud their release - but I have a hard time getting too excited about this one. Yes, I think she deserves a second chance and has done her time. A life sentence seems extreme, but what about those who remain imprisoned for far lesser crimes? Do they each need to be assigned a celebrity in order to find justice?
