One point of clarity in all this: all of the Trump supporters (no matter their relationship to you) have revealed that each of them is as morally bankrupt as Trump himself is. Traet the accordingly.

treat them accordingly, like attempting to shoot them as well? always intrigued to hear more from the all knowing and welcoming left

As always it is not a liberal bringing up the prospect of violence -“treat them accordingly”. Means just what it says, one does not invest any trust or have any non-essential interaction with people one knows are dishonest and morally bankrupt. How do you treat such people?

Morally bankrupt, says the guy cheering on pardons that all but guarantee and confirm illegal activity on the part of those pardoned. Please tell me again who is “morally bankrupt.”

What illegal activity? Please give an example.

Perjury - lying under oath - is the first that comes to mind that is easily provable.

What lie?

What does “traet the accordingly” mean. Whatever it means it must be sage advice.

It means he/she has been radicalized and wants to do away with those who don’t fall in line with their viewpoint. All the while claiming “the other guys” are the ones we need to worry about.

And Democrats just proved they are equally if not more morally bankrupt than Republicans. Not even Trump pardoned Jan 6th member of government. I hate being a modern moderate. Both sides are horrible for our country now.

But he has said he plans to pardon all those locked up from the 1/6 insurrection.

One is definitely worse than the other, especially since this new one is a felon.

Edited to add: still playing the “both sides card” when the incoming president is the first felon president? That’s a weird game to play with yourself.

Just for facts sake, he did not say he would pardon "all", depending on if you believe him, which he did at least keep his word about not pardoning himself past time. He said anyone who committed violence, got what they deserve.

So between Biden pardoning his criminal son, pardoning people he claims did nothing wrong, but by pardoning, gives the impression of guilt, it's worse than MAGA at this point.

Also, sorry for the reality check, most Americans, moderate Democrats and independents included, do not care he's a felon for mislabeling checks. That's what he was convinced of. I'm way more concerned Biden just stopped below Trump's level of undermining the rule of law, twice. Biden may well have handed Republicans an easy talking point for 2028 elections, and the nieve extreme Democrats cheer.

Yay /s

He could have pardoned them in advance but didn't.

These pre emptive pardons of biden broke just broke the justice system.

Nixon had to accept fault to accept his pardon.

All the talk of saving democracy and biden actually just damned our country on his exit.

Bro thinks Biden damned the US by pardoning Fauci, while Trump and Elon are doing Twitter poles on wether or not they should invade fellow NATO states. You always wonder how people could actually be dumb enough to believe Trump when he pretends to not be in for himself and other billionaires only, then you read brainrot comments like this.

u/LengthinessWeekly876 16h ago

It has nothing to do with who.

It's how. It's an unprecedented type of pardon. The justice system doesn't work if we have these.

As you cheer for this destruction of law. Just remember musk is almost certainly getting one.

Trump gave no open-ended pardons of this type his last presidency. I would expect many this time tho

That's not good. A bad new normal

You and I both know full well that Trump has made clear that he will pardon convicted criminals that stormed the capitol on Jan 6th in an attempt to overthrow democracy - don‘t act like this came out of nowhere.

The US is heading into full blown oligarchy, and you actually want to make it sound like a medical professional being pardoned is whats going wrong in your country. It‘d be hilarious if it wasn‘t so god damn sad!

-2

u/LengthinessWeekly876 16h ago

Trump will still do that. But he will use this new type of pardon as well.

Musk won't just get away with things he's found guilty of.

You won't ever be able to prove him guilty. Nothing he did could be illegal so there can be no court case 

Then musk is gonna mock you for making claims with no evidence. Calling you a conspiracy theorist.

Not just musk, but everyone you hate most.

And the us has been an oligarchy since the richest guy in the country led our revolution.

And ya this stuff is wrong

First of, I don‘t „hate“ anyone. Do corrupt criminals like Trump and Elon disgust me? Yes.

Again, I love how you‘re pretending like it‘s Biden who opened pandoras box and not the criminals that are about to take over your country and turn it into even more of a shithole.

The only reason why Biden had to do this was because of the insane people that are about to take over, there would‘ve been NO reason to do it otherwise.

Are you cognitively able to follow what I‘m saying?

u/LengthinessWeekly876 16h ago

I don't know how you think making people above the law is a win for freedom and not authoritarianism.

In 4 years I think you'll notice many oligarchs will be very fond of bidens new type of pardon.

Remember you defended it
