If we're fighting with the same weapons, then Biden's last act should be a pardon for Luigi...
I keep hearing this idea floated, do people really think that Biden is not on the same side as the health insurance companies??
Biden is not on our side on this issue, that's part of the problem. He is and was the candidate that the people who didn't want healthcare reform pushed in to block Bernie from putting the issue on the ballot by running on it.
And when he doesn't, that means we're not fighting with the same weapons.
I think accepting a pardon implicitly admits you did the thing, which could have complications for states prosecuting.
He hasn't been convicted yet. You cannot pardon someone who doesn't technically have a record.
Incorrect. Example, hunter was pardoned for everything he might've done in the past 11 years, not just what he was actually convicted of.
I stand corrected. That was quite a misinformed post I made.
Nixon was preemptively pardoned.
Didn't Trump already issue pre-emptive parsons last time around? Or at least try to?
Yes. Steve Bannon.
Didn't try. Did.
Mangione (similar to Bannon) has a mixture of state and federal charges levied against him, and Presidents cannot pardon state charges.
Gaetz asked for one, but got denied
