And there ya go groveling to your orange master, Romney. What a spineless bitch.
Biden can’t pardon state crimes.
What? Anyway, that would never happen.
Yeah, who just pardons a criminal ex-presi- wait… never mind.
He was talking some sense on his way out, then this. Repubs are incapable of being normal.
Right… he was one of the almost okay ones kind of for a sec at the end… and that’s the best we get
With these scumbags, “almost” is meaningless. I never gave Romney the benefit of any doubt because he’s ultimately as awful as any of the feral maga hogs—he wants the same inhuman things they do, he just wants more decorum about it
This does not surprise me one iota
Ah yes. Fewer consequences for the rich is what we need.
Wow, this is an impressively stupid take.
Romney again trying to ride both dicks at the same time.
I, for one, am sick of this whole “Oh lets pardon the past president to protect the institution of presidency”
Presidents should not be above the law. They are not gods, they are not kings, they are elected as representatives.
especially when the one in question turned the white house into a goddamn criminal enterprise
I, for one, am sick of this whole “Oh lets pardon the past president to protect the institution of presidency”
You know how we protect the institution of the presidency? We stop having presidents that break the law.
Agreed. I too am so sick of this ass-kissing authoritarian BS. They’re not kings. They served in an office and now they’re out. They’re humans FFS.
Seriously, I don’t know why so many people get this wrong!
We give guns to our cops to enforce the laws, and we should have higher expectations for the handling of their weapon than random schmuck off the street licensed gun owner.
We give the military and various other resources and powers to the President to execute the laws. They should also be held to an even higher standard! A bad guy as President can do a million times as much damage than they can as a cop.
Agree. These people are given the public trust. betraying the public trust should result in severe punishment. More severe than a random schmuck doing the same act, cause that random schmuck wasnt given the public trust and the power of authority.
But then the people who want to use that public trust for personal gain won’t want to run for office! Then what!?!
I know you are joking, but you have no idea how many times i’ve heard legitimate arguments like that…especially with regards to police.
Ford pardoned Nixon. He didn’t get elected to a full term after finishing the remainder of Nixons. We can argue about if the pardon was the final nail in the coffin (The economy shitting the bed didn’t help, I’m sure.), but I think we can agree it was definitely one of the nails.
Nixon also resigned. There was no chance of him coming back but it didn’t do anything to convince conservatives in the 70s. The movie Dick is a great primer on how Nixon’s resignation radicalized Republicans.
Mitt Romney is an idiot
Maybe the ex-president shouldn’t have been such a criminal, Mitt.
Can’t take the snivelling, manipulative, lying scumbag out of the republican, I guess.
To be fair, he’s probably being too honest with this one
Fuck off and die
All I did was post an article, you big meanie
I actually had an idea that Biden could pardon Trump, then Trump couldn’t plead the 5th when called as a witness against anyone else. So he would have the choice of truthful answers or perjury.
Seeing how this current judge has been handling him with kid gloves I wouldn’t expect anything bad to happen to him even if he did perjure himself.
Notice how he is minding every p and a, crossing every t and dotting every i?
That’s so that, when he’s done, there will be nothing to appeal.
They will still try, but try and achieve are so different they don’t even share a letter.
Notice how he is minding every p and a
Pints and asses? 🤨
Well, Trump could just try not being a criminal if they care so much about prosecuting an ex-president
When you think the law doesn’t apply to you then of course you’d think you can do anything you wanted and never be a criminal.
And this guy is supposed to be the “moderate” GOP. Crooks and liars all the way down their bones.
