I think the only other example of a pre-emptive pardon in history was Ford's pardon of Nixon for Watergate and it hasn't ever been heard by the Supreme Court
Only if specifically asked about them by congress or the FBI (or while sworn in in court). They no longer have any fifth amendment protection.
So to me, honestly, fucking pardon them all on the condition they come clean on their crimes and admit the things they have done to the american people Admit they killed a quarter million americans out of hubris Admit that Donald is a fucking incestual pedophile Let the people that supported him know what they did by supporting him, let them know how they betrayed everything we've ever claimed to stand for And then never let them forget
logic would dictate yes. You’re being pardoned from something innocent people don’t need to be pardoned. It reminds me of when I used to tell my kids to admit what they did and I wouldn’t punish them. They would and I’d bring down the hammer of Thor.
If it is indeed Gates, I'm not thrilled since this is not an already completed pardon, so the quo in quid pro quo wasn't delivered. Nailing Trump for a non-delivery of quo would be like holding Ukraine liable for Trump asking them for help against Biden.
had a good yelling match at my mom tonight at her house for my brother's birthday. she's all in on the "fraud" and just said far too many stupid things to even enumerate. disappointing.
Democrats aren't saying either, because policing policy is decided on a local level and a national strategy built around reforming policing in the US is impossible. The DNC shouldn't embrace a slogan, but back progressive district attorneys and lose those elections for awhile.
An old style pre-loss Trump tweet: Weird syntax, capitalization, complaining about something 98% of Americans don't understand, but aggrieved and showing failing power. I wish he would veto it btw. Would be great for the Dems to force an override veto vote.
The speed at which Jack Dorsey, Zuck, etc would ban all the shitheads like Trump, Bongino, Shapiro, Charlie Kirk, Bannon, etc would make Usain Bolt look slow.
I'm interested to hear why people might think Donald will be alive or in good enough health to run in 4 years, he'll be 78 and still in bad physical shape
