    Ford shouldn’t have pardoned Nixon.

      Nixon looks like an angel compared to Presidents after him.

    We got Trump in no small part because Nixon was pardoned.

      14A3 disqualification and legally nullify the entire second term (erases all pardons and eliminates all immunity), impeachment, prosecution for crimes against humanity, put him against the wall

    Should they or would they? Should they? Of course not. Will they ? Of course because no POTUS wants to set precedent of accountability.

      It’s like that thing in the drive thru, where the person in the car ahead paid for your coffee. The President pardons the president behind him so the next president can pardon him.

          Guillotines are a metaphor, implying the French Revolution.

          Wood chippers are a metaphor for Fargo, North Dakota.

    Man I don’t even give a damn anymore. This is what its always been they used to just keep appearances up. It’s a circus of our suffering for the aristocracy.

    Fuck Trump. Fuck the next president too. Fuck them all. None of them give a fuck about us or our children.

    We should start over.

    Hard to pardon someone who hasn’t like…been sentenced or impeached yet. For some reason.

      except that is literally what Ford did to Nixon, and pardons aren’t a thing for impeachment anyway (for US federal offenses)

        I do think you have to admit to the crime tho. I could be wrong but accepting a pardon means you agree you were guilty I believe.

          You don’t have to actively admit to it, though you are right that something like this was held here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burdick_v._United_States

            Interesting. So you don’t have to admit it but if you accept the pardon you are essentially guilty.

            “implicit admission of guilt” it says.

            I would assume that means that media could say you are guilty and you couldn’t sue them for slander. Like you don’t have to say you are guilty but you cant claim you are innocent… well you can claim anything I guess but yeah people could safely call you guilty at that point.

    NO. Pardons shouldn’t cover unrepentant criminals who know what they’re doing.
