So the only thing this dude has achieved so far this year is Pardons, not even tariffs, but Pardons

Well, now that Trump has set precedence for removing pardons this means nothing I guess.

Revert to state crimes.

What? That’s insane. Nobody saw this coming.

From the article:
Trump is planning to pardon advisors, policymakers and others as his administration weathers piling criminal allegations. It would likely include people such as Stephen Miller, the architect of Trump’s immigration agenda.
Much of Trump’s second term has been defined by legal scrutiny of his own actions and those of his administration. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, for example, is facing war crime allegations.
Trump has leaned heavily on his executive authority. As of December 10th, he has granted clemency to 1,600 people this year.

Now that criminals are allowed to pardon their co-conspirators, America will never recover.

We will need a whole stack of reforms if Trump and his ilk are ever driven from power.
One of those needs to be a constitutional amendment adding some oversight for the pardon power. Maybe require Congress to confirm pardons?

Preemptive pardons aren’t leadership, they’re a confession of what’s coming.

How the fuck do you pardon someone from a crime they haven’t been charged of, let alone convicted and sentenced?

Is this pardon also possible for terrorists. If not declare them to be a terror organisation.

Sounds like he’s already planning ahead. It’ll be interesting to see how this plays out legally and politically.

Pardons are useless against an angry mob. Which is what should be knocking at the white house door.
Trump and MAGA have done too much damage for the government to ever fix itself. They need to be forced.

Only way to end this is to have Democrats offer pardons for those that push a regime change through. Republicans in Congress will remove the power quick!

We all know that’s going to happen.

This raises serious questions about abuse of the pardon power. The constitution allows it, but it wasn’t designed as a get out of jail free card for cronies facing criminal investigations.

Because he knows they have already committed crimes.

Not sure about how things work legally in the States, but I wonder what would happen if he was either to be impeached, convicted and removed from office, or removed from office under the 25th for being unfit to discharge his duties.
Surely then there’d be some form of mechanism to void all the pardons he’s issued based on the fact they were illegitimately granted by someone mentally unfit to hold office, and he’s demonstrated publicly that he doesn’t actually know or recognize multiple people that “he” apparently pardoned.
Similarly, if he was to die in office from some debilitating illness, surely a case could me made to void them, if issued.

They’ve all already committed political suicide at this point. I think their only goal is to make as much money as they can, because deep down, they know their careers are over.

Not even a year into his Presidency and he’s lining up pardons for his cronies.

In other words he KNOWs his group is crooked. I believe they still can be sued

Just pardon the whole world and be done with it

Won’t save them from the ICC

He’s gonna blanket pardon everyone for 4 years. How does everyone not know this? It’s what Biden did. Now Trump will do it because, unlike Biden, he, his friends, his family have been on an actual bribery crime spree.

Remove the pardon from the president and give it to congress.

Ignore the pardon. Done.

Funny how he thinks his pardons will be worth the paper they’re printed on when the public finally comes to exact justice upon those that follow his orders

Trumpstein? That criminal?

Pardons should require a guilty verdict.

Tons of state level crimes for many of them.

I heard the White House recently installed a pardon dispenser in the break room

Guilty people don’t do that.

Next president just says he signed them with an auto pen. Ez game

Crime boss runs country into ground. Lets his assistants off scott free.

The real joke is going to be watching all these degenerate fucks scramble like roaches when the light turns on, when Trump keels over dead on the shitter before he’s able to sign any of those pardons
