Name 5 things Kamala Harris would have done to fix the economy that Trump isn't doing.

Name 5 ways that Kamala Harris would have worked for the middle class's "best interests" that Trump isn't doing.

You can't, because Kamala Harris's only platform planks were "I'm not Trump" and "I'm a black woman". The Biden administration's policies, which presumably Kamala Harris would have continued since she had no platform of her own, are what led directly to our economy being the shambles that it's in right now. So your "voting against their own best interests" condescending and out of touch argument is moot.

Kamala only needs one thing to fix America... BLACK GIRL MAGIC

Also note: if the Supreme Court allows Trump to do this, then the next Democrat president can unpardon ALL January 6th rioters and traitors.

No, because that was Trump's idea and we saw him sign it. We could see he was in control of his faculties.

Biden, on the other hand, we didn't see him sign it and he probably didn't sign it. We also saw evidence that his brain was no longer working, something we've seen no evidence for with Trump.

It's probably just going to set the precedent that you have to be on camera or have witnesses when you pardon people. Maybe you have to pass a mental acuity exam.

What would be even better is if eepy Joe says that he only signed Hunter's.

This is probably why he will pursue every other pardon except his, to highlight Hunter’s pardon. I remember in Trump’s 2016 campaign he did a few things like this, like posting on Twitter about “13% of the population commit 30% of the crime!!!” so the media would have to correct him with the real figure. It’s why “5D chess” was coined to describe his shenanigans.

He has four long years to actually prove that, then lol, but he won't, he conjured up the rigged election lie because he was asshurt that he lost, beaten by Joe Biden. And you believe that lie because you're also asshurt that he lost, beaten by Joe Biden.

btw Trump was the president throughout the vast majority of the COVID pandemic, and the entirety of the 2020 election, he's had access to the government's backend longer than Biden, yet he still hasn't found any proof of this supposed magical "massive cheating apparatus".

"There is some real questionable shit that happened in 2020 from the FBI covering up Hunter's laptop to 3am blue waves and it should be investigated fully" and "And the numbers are too far apart, even if we want to add in fairly wide spread DNC shennanigans, it wouldn't be enough to change the national results, COVID and its effects are more likely than hacking Dominion, the fishing expedition got really gay after a while" are not mutually exclusive thoughts

I am sure there are plenty of TDS psychologists who are champing at the bit to test Trump just to give him a failing grade. Either you're going to get a political enemy testing you or someone bought off who will pass you no matter what.

Whole chickens are $1.74/lb, however, so it might be time to learn how to butcher my own chicken.

It's not as hard as you would think.

Sure. But there is a threshold.

Joe Biden would have been charged with a crime but the prosecutor deemed him, "an old man with a poor memory."

If your brain is so broken that you can't be prosecuted for crimes, then you shouldn't be able to pardon.

As we know, Trump's brain is working more than well enough for him to be prosecuted for crimes...considering they did prosecute him.

So, tell that TDS medical professional that his or her job should be to determine whether Trump should be let off the hook for any and all crimes he commits. See what they say then.

Don't forget the BBC, in their rush to prove Trump wrong about his comments about Islamic terror in Europe, compiled a list of all the mass casualty events in the UK that were tied to muslims.
"Trump said dozens of terror attacks over the past 5 years but it was only 23! Ha-HA! Take that orange man!"

The TDS lugenpress always falls for it.

 

[The Last Stand]

Does this mean that Trump could investigate Biden himself since he wasn't pardoned?

The pen thing feels like sovereign citizen-tier bullshit. But I hope Orange Man pulls it off. Do it Donald.

The incoming economic bloodbath once the markets open. Flooding the zone with dumb culture war shit to entertain the beltway news media is his best bet at keeping his supporters from acknowledging how badly he's fucking everything up.

Can't wait for the negotiations with russia to fall through too.

 

[Quesursundeepimpact48]

I just want the media firestorm to eventually cover how "Democrat" Joe Biden pardoned Marcus Garvey, a fucking black nationalist who tried to work with the KKK in 1922, who was deported to Jamaica for mail fraud. As for the constitutional crisis, good. Dictatorship & civil war is going to happen all across the west. Democracy is like Communism, doomed to fail. Make Death Squads Great Again

 

[FILTH Tourist]

Sure. But there is a threshold.

And that threshold is whatever Congress or the president's cabinet decides it to be, because there are already processes established to remove an unfit president. We don't need to add a random psychologist making things worse by intentionally lying about the president's state to protect or harm him.

 

[Desu Mountain]

Remember a few days before Trump took office Speaker Johnson said he had a conversation with President Biden about why he signed an executive order that froze new LNG permits to Europe. Biden said he never did that, Speaker Johnson told him he had the executive order showing he did, and Biden started to get angry and said he never signed it.

Not quite. He said he signed something completely different.

Also, I can no longer download anything from youtube since neither yt-dlp or any of the downloader sites I used work for me anymore.

 

[UnidentifiedFlyingOrchid]

Trump just gave a "two more weeks" on Epstein and Kennedy files. Declaring some of the last administration's pardons void because they weren't actually done by Biden is very exciting if they lead to arrests.

Who's getting charged with a crime by the end of the week? There is more than enough already known public evidence to charge many high profile traitors. If Trump can be easily charged, then so can they.

---

Overall Trump2.0 has exceeded my expectations by quite a lot. So much winning is great. USAID destruction had great results. Firing large numbers of federal employees, also great. Tranny removal, great. Deportations, great, but more wouod be better. RFK Jr is doing good so far. Democrats and globalists are flailing. I like the tariffs. I like the Gulf of America. There are so many things to like it's hard to list them all. If Trump does nothing else, he has at least pulled the curtain back and revealed clown world to everyone.

Sir, Mr President, sir, can the wild ride continue, please. I'm not tired of winning yet.

 

[TerminalTryHard]

After the Epstein files "release" I don't there's much of a plan here. Just Trump using a scatter shot offense to the keep the dems reacting.

Send them scurrying to try and figure if he has any proof or not and panicking that someone talked.

Does this mean that Trump could investigate Biden himself since he wasn't pardoned?

Trump watched his father die to altzeimers. He won't go after Biden, not like that.

Biden's legacy? Biden's family? The swamp creatures squirming around his admin? They're all fair game.

 

[Prokhor Zakharov]

For anyone saying "he's not overturning them, he's nullifying them" it doesn't matter, there is literally no avenue anywhere in any of our foundational documents that allows for anything to happen to a presidential pardon once it has been executed. Nothing can be done to it.

There is absolutely no law on this subject. It would need to literally be built de novo, from the ground up. One would need to establish standing to even challenge something, let along nullify it. Just the issue of standing to even bring a challenge of a presidential pardon would need to be established, and ultimately the SCOTUS would likely have to take it up and decide if standing could be established. If standing could be established, to have even the slightest chance to challenge a presidential pardon one would need to prove that the president didn't actually grant the pardon. You'd need evidence "beyond a reasonable doubt" of a massive conspiracy to issue pardon's that were not granted by the president. Evidence that rises to that level just isn't likely to exist. People don't seem to understand that when a legal pathway doesn't exist you can't just will it into existence. Even the president can't do that. There is an entire process that needs to occur.

 

[SBG]

Agreed. At best its a waste of time, at worst that is a door I don't want to see opened.
This is hilarious, but at the same time I'd rather move forward. Do a Truth and Reconcilliation council for the COVID fuckers but its time to stop the petty squabbling over what's happened.

It’s a bit annoying since I can see how tempting it is to fall into cheerleader mode over it being entertaining, makes me feel like a killjoy at these times.

Going forward the auto pen should have a little needle in it like a glucometer test that pricks their finger and puts some blood in the signature for forensic analysis to confirm the signature involved the president
