This whole pardon thing is insanity...Why on Earth is any president allowed to pardon people that were found guilty in a court of law.

I get it for some things. When a President is able to "override" a sentence that was obviously unjust or something like a weed charge that would be a slap on the wrist today but was treated like armed robbery 15+ years ago then I think it's a good thing.

But when you let someone go that had committed "white collar crimes" because they have money and influence then that's bullshit and I get grumpy.

Because the founding fathers were 18th century slave owning cunts writing in archaic terms that are now deliberately misinterpreted by partisan hacks in the judiciary.

There are two main things the shittyness of the US Constitution always comes back to - the first problem is that they wanted the President to be essentially a constitutional monarch that would largely mimic the contemporaneous British constitutional monarchy. The second problem is that they didn't realize the extent to which political parties would take control and partisanship would dominate, eroding the ability of congress to restrain the President. So now things are forever fucked.

Our system should correct those sentences anyway. If a non-violent drug charge gets someone a slap on the wrist today, someone shouldn't be serving time just because he got busted when it wasn't as forgivable.

We shouldn't have to rely on an outgoing president to correct those injustices every 4 to 8 years.

I'd do away with the presidential pardon completely. It goes against how our democracy is built. If someone is serving an unjust sentence, it should be fixed by the courts.

This and lobbying make us look like a banana republic.

Turning into? In 2016 Trump ran on Hulk Hogan's Hulkamania gimmick from the 80s.

Yeah but it's really going full heel/face with Buzzfeed/OAN etc.

So maybe I should have said that it was starting to turn when Dobbs was migrating and now it's full on WWE/WCW/ECW/WCCW, Brother!

He has been trolling Trump so long I’m really surprised Trump didn’t use his power to track him down and have him arrested
