Not that anybody cares

But if President Biden pardons trump, I’m really going to have to think twice about supporting a party that would rubber stamp that move.

John Fetterman, James Clyburn, John Dean and Michael Cohen are expressing their support for a pardon. I’m just afraid that more and more people are going to push this absolutely obscene idea. And I’m sorry, but a part of me worries Biden would do it in a completely delusional attempt at healing the nation.

and the bankers responsible for the collapse in 2008, I think it was a clear signal that there are indeed people above the law.

Our justice is deeply flawed and no wonder people are losing faith in the government on both sides of the aisle.

From the traitors who seceded from the union in 1860 to Obama abrogating his duty to uphold the laws of this land, we have failed to hold criminals accountable. And that is what has brought us to this very moment. So I just can’t for the life of me understand why someone like John Dean would think pardoning that fucker would be good for the country. And although I hope otherwise, history has shown us that our leaders often do the wrong thing time after time.

misguided.

I'm furious. They are fueling the RW equivalancy between fair trials for real crimes and fake trials for retribution against innocent people. All we need is a few prominent Dems doing this to confused the minds of the low information or caught in the bubble citizen and make Trump's case for retribution.

But ultimately they are the only choice as far as voting is concerned. I don’t think it will ever happen though..
