    If you’re a drug dealer, then I don’t automatically assume you’re a bad person.

    If you’re menacing and groping people, plus hurting kids when you fight, that changes things. You’re a dick, and I hope you got your ass whooped in that fight.

      No, but if your sentence is commuted by Trump, I do automatically assume you’re a bad person.

        Lil Wayne’s prison sentence was commuted by trump and NO ONE TALKS ABOUT IT.

        I mean, no one should think Weezy is a good person, but the absolute insanity of the whole situation is just mind boggingly odd.

        I feel like just by statistical inevitability he will or has pardoned at least one somewhat okay person. But that’s through random chance not by will.
