New President and New Precedent - want to do a bunch of unethical, illegal stuff? Just have someone else do it and pardon them. Scary times ahead. Thanks Dems!

Omg. He actually did it. So damning. Can’t believe this wow.

It’s not because any of those people committed any crimes (Kinzinger was pretty clear about that). It’s to pre-empt the lawfare that Trump promised to wage against his perceived “enemies” because even though they would ultimately be cleared, the financial drain of investigations (to say nothing of threats from Trump cultists) would be ruinous in the short term.

It’s probably a bad precedent to set, but we’re in a time without many good options.

Trump set the precedent before Biden by pardoning a number of his cronies lol. All worse than Fauci. How quickly we forget, goldfish.

I think you mean, can't say something is new precedent when it was already a precedent, C1 lol

Trump, on multiple occasions, suggested Liz Cheney should be shot. If the rhetoric hadn’t been so extreme and devoid of facts I would’ve found the preemptive pardon corrupt. With context, I get it.

No issues with Trump being tried

Works for federal crimes but not for state crimes🤪

This was always possible

Because Trump has already made up a list of ppl he will prosecute maliciously for their investiations into Jan 6. Does anyone recall Biden going after anyone who investigated Hunter's laptop? Biden is NOT that petty.

3 YOE in Marketing through internships in college, followed by 2 years Financial Operations/Data Tools full-time. I got an offer for $75K at TekSystems for a Market Analyst role. I gave them a range of $70-75K, so they gave the max. But I am questioning asking for a bit more given insurance is apparently on the higher-end and I want to ensure I didn't low-ball myself.

Just to note, this is about a 25% increase compared to what I am currently making.

Finally got my hands on one. I was expecting it to feel much cheaper than it does. Definitely still get the quality feel that Swatch is known for. The weight is nothing like a real speedy, but still looks great imo. I went with the Mission to Pluto as I didn’t want one that looks too much like the real thing, and the Mars/Sun versions had the gauche white strap imo. Overall pleased for $260.

Being from Minnesota, I think it's so funny when people act as if we are some far-left State just because we hadn't voted Republican in a presidential election since Nixon. Never mind that many of our elections are close or that we have elected Republican Senators and governors.

I have voted for both the GOP and the DFL, and I feel like they are both far more normal than their national counterparts
