I tried not to make rules for this community but y'all wylin'. I'll keep it quick and to the point:

  1. Mildly biased headlines and articles are fine, but please do not share opinion pieces or strongly slanted articles here.

  2. Reporting content that does not break those rules prohibited.

  3. Baiting and drama farming is prohibited. If you're not sure whether or not you're in this category, ask yourself if what you're about to post or comment adds to the discussion of the topic at hand, or if you are trying to get a rise out of someone, make bad-faith accusations against one's character, etc. There's some leeway here because I have a sense of humor though, so don't let this rule scare you.

For what crimes exactly?
The Dems absolutely suck at this kind of messaging. They've committed no crimes wtf u gonna pardon???

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

Eh. IDK that this criticism holds.

  1. If they've committed no crimes, why would they need to be pardoned?

  2. The Hunter Biden pardon covered unspecified criminal activity. It's hard to see why Hunter's pardon would be legitimate but this one would not be.

These guys still think that the rule of law is going to save them.

Man, this is a really bad precedent to be setting. First pardoning family members, then handing out pardons for "future crimes" to political allies. Imagine if Trump considered doing this shit, how poorly that would be received.

Seems like a quick way to make a farce of the pardon system.

I feel like there's only one way this could be pushed further to the limit: by a president (like Trump) pardoning himself.
