Presidential pardon is an arbitrary power. Trump era has shown us that this should be overturned.

No surprise, and while it doesn’t matter, to accept a pardon is, in itself, an admission of guilt. So there will be plenty of pardons going around.

Possibly, but then you’d have to apply that to every presidential pardon.

This is the first of many. He’s going to pardon Everyone in his circle, including Manafort, the Trump Kids, Javanka, and maybe himself, although there’s a legit question whether he has the power to pardon himself. The smarter path would be resigning 10 mins before Biden’s inauguration and having Pence pardon him in exchange for a future presidential endorsement. Re all of the pardons he will loudly protest the innocence of all involved and say he’s pardoning people to spare them from the burdens of unjust future political persecution. 🤢

Yep. And many federal crimes also violate state law.

This aged well...

I don't think the pardon will happen. If Flynn accepts a pardon, he waives his 5th amendment right against self-incrimination.

That means he can be forced to testify under oath about his many crimes, including those in which Individual 1 was an active participant.

But trump might be dumb enough to issue a pardon and put himself in legal jeopardy.

Not entirely correct in important respects. See my prior post.

The fact that Biden leads by 10 points nationally shows this country still has a bit of common sense. The fact the election is still a competitive race and may swing both ways shows how crazily undemocratic the electoral system is. Time to get rid of it, no reason to exist

How is trump making the case that 1)the president has something to do with local incidents and that 2)Biden is somehow responsible and he, the president, is not responsible?

Are there any conservatives like me left anymore? The ones who are pro-democracy, pro checks and balances in governance, support liberal markets, have a global outlook that reinforces the soft power we’ve projected abroad for 70 years?

All there’s left of my party is a collection of vacuous bumper sticker slogans like ‘lock her up’, peddling conspiracy theories, and chest-thumping support for ‘law and order’ — without actually respecting the law, norms of governance and our institutions.

Republicans... in hindsight, do you think it was a political miscalculation to have Pence on the ticket? Seems to me it would have been advantageous to have someone firmly in the Trump camp - like Alex Jones - as his VP to galvanize the base and put more daylight between the Trump ticket and Biden’s mainline political position. Thoughts?

Ok, I’m gonna say this. Schools should open. Now hear me out. My wife is a family doctor, she is working insane hours, she is treating covid patients, and there is a lot of days when she has to stay at the hospital without coming home. My neighbour works in a local grocery store, so he has been at work since the Day 1 of lockdown. So if you need medical help, or want to eat, it’s ok for those people to be at work, but their kids have to stay home? Cont’d >>
