Despite the controversy surrounding them, presidential pardons can provide a service – the question is how they are used.

    Fucking good. The pardon power is bullshit and we ought to pull it the fuck out of the constitution. I’m glad Brandon pardoned his son, though, I hope republicans go apoplectic. Those cunts ushered in this era of lawlessness, why the fuck should we play ball? Sort out your twice-impeached rapist felon traitor president, cunts. Don’t step to me with this Hunter Biden bullshit. Fuck off and die.

      Honestly, Biden should just go completely off the rails, and do all the shit Trump is threatening to do, including jailing political rivals. Including the red members of the SCOTUS. Give them plenty of warning, and plenty of time to reverse their prior ruling, but start following through if they decline to. Make them respond.

        I said months ago that Biden and the larger Democratic party needed to come out swinging. I doubled down after Biden’s lackluster debate. When Harris hit the ground sprinting I was actually happy. Then some traditional democratic strategic asshat convinced her to simmer down and take a risky route that would only have worked 25 years ago.

        Step up, Dems. We’ve gone from cushy NFL offsides to NFL Blitz and you’re waaay behind.

        Too bad the Democrats official motto is “when they go low, we sit here and do absofucukinglutly nothing but cry about it and let them tread all over us.”
