#46 Revenge of the Dark Brandon

[thetruepandagod]

so the take away is that courts and rule of law is more of an exclusive club for those that lack influence

But being a feeble pussy about stuff like that doesn't mean you have free rein to do other corrupt acts, just because YOU failed to punish Trump for his.

Biden and his DOJ trying to do shit by the books no longer works. That’s what this entire argument is about. Dems are fucking pussies and Pedophiles do whatever the fuck they want because they have better messaging.

Democrats have learned absolutely nothing from 2016 and continue to assume the average American is educated and acts on good faith.

They don’t.

[Xno Kappa]

So yeah to answer your question. American voters are fucking retarded. Anything else?

"The books" involve prosecuting obvious lawbreaking. The problem isn't that they did shit "by the books", it's that they allowed unwritten rules like "don't prosecute your political opponents" to drag their feet on the obvious crimes!

will they be retarded forever

[Xno Kappa]

Considering the SCOTUS aspect. Yeah they’ll be retarded for a long time.

[Xno Kappa]

Oops. I guess I must’ve offended someone so let’s focus on that for the entire election cycle instead of the orange Russian puppet.

This isn't a "when they go low, you go high" argument either

I'm absolutely disgusted that Biden's DOJ didn't immediately swoop in to prosecute Trump for, on tape, pushing the Georgia SoS to "find him votes". It's as clear cut as it gets, and the fact they couldn't even begin a trial in 4 years after it occurred (again, ON TAPE) is outrageous. Merrick Garland as AG was an all-time fuckup because of his idiotic "conservative" approach to things like this. Trump should be in prison, and Biden should've made sure he went there. But being a feeble pussy about stuff like that doesn't mean you have free reign to do other corrupt acts, just because YOU failed to punish Trump for his.

Calling this pardon a "corrupt act" is really reaching IMO. Not only would he have never been prosecuted in the first place under normal circumstances, republicans literally interfered with the justice system to get the conviction they wanted. The entire process was a farce from the outset, all because Republicans were just desperate to find anything to smear Biden with after failing to impeach him.

Facebook should have never been opened up to people outside the higher education sphere. I’m convinced so much is traced back to that.

[Lokus]

I fucking dare you to go up to any MAGA person IRL and start talking about the Arpaio shit or any of his other pardons.

Actually just pick one major negative story about Trump at all. Literally anything you can think of.

I absolutely GUARANTEE you they're either not going to know about it or just call it fake.

You're forgetting the third option. "What's wrong with that? That sounds good actually!"

[Salodin]

The biggest complaint I've seen regarding the pardon is ONLY that Biden said he wouldn't do it, and now he did. They're not even worried about the ethics! They're just shouting "he lied!" because they know they have no leg to stand on if they hold their own politician to the same standards they hold Democrats. Y'all are trying to be reasonable with people who are, at their core, unreasonable. Their only concern is winning, even if they're being intellectually inconsistent. I'm tired of pretending otherwise, and I'm tired of playing this dumb game.

We're making up rules for ourselves that don't matter and we've already lost the game and are waiting for the credits to roll. It's beyond tiring to feign outrage.

Literally y'all right now. You won't convince a soul you'd do otherwise, and we're all looking at you like you're retarded for trying to claim otherwise.

Every single person would've done the exact same thing. Say there's no way I'd do that, for optics, until optics don't matter, then do it.

[Obsidian]

Nah he should let the kid go to prison on some nonsense conviction to be shanked on the first night so he can walk around with his head held high knowing that in the eyes of most Democrats, that's the only decision separating him from the convicted felon and known rapist that will be taking his job in a month.

I hope this is just the beginning and he pardons everyone in his administration and past administrations for past, present, and future crimes. It would force the Supreme Court's partisans to put limits on the pardon power because otherwise Trump couldn't prosecute his enemies.

Thats the annoying part. My only issue with this is that Biden will probably only abuse it this once.

Maybe 1 in 10 would say that, maybe not even.

Would they think it? Maybe 3 in 10.

[Salodin]

Now, your son-in-laws father. Would y'all pardon that guy? Or face your son-in-law at thanksgiving knowing full well he's only there and not at his parents dinner because one of em is in jail?

I mean at face value it depends on the crime.

John Dean (the former White House counsel who helped bring down President Richard Nixon in the Watergate scandal) has argued for this
