Former Trump voter here. I can’t vote for him anymore, but I would do it again. Leftists are just insane. They prop up so-called alliances while screeching about Putin, they have this insane idea that burning random Teslas is protesting, and the economy was collapsing because innocent citizens got their tax money disappeared to foreign people without due process because they’re just brown.
 
It's irrelevant, a pardon doesn't need to specify a crime. There is nothing in the constitution that requires it to.
Does the president need knowledge of the specific crime he pardoned? By your reading if Trump gave a blanket pardon he himself would be unable to punish that person for any newly discovered crimes including planning to assassinate him or even lying about the information that lead to the pardon.
 
Yea that is what a federal offense is, but there still has to be one in the first place to pardon. You can’t drop charges that have never been levied against someone so how can you pardon them. I don’t think they’ve ever been used that way
Yes you can. The President could pardon you tomorrow for any and all offences committed against the United States even if you and him both know you've never committed a felony.
 
It should be illegal to pardon oneself and their own family. Based Trump.
The whole point of the pardon is to check against a rogue Judiciary coming after you and your friends/family because they disagree with you politically.

The Hunter Biden pardon is fine, because unless we're going to waste our time and relitigate 2020, it's a valid use of the pardon power, especially if ends up being the ONLY pardon Biden actually was aware he was signing.

The constitution doesn't demand it. I know it seems weird and open to incredible corruption, but the constitution is clear here.
 
Claiming a president’s signature doesn’t count because he autosigned it is Darrell Brooks tier legal reasoning.
I’m not a big Biden fan but this is ridiculous. It’s like claiming a court is not legitimate because the American flag has yellow trim, making it an admiralty court.

The main reason is less that it was autosigned and more that Biden may not have been the one signing it, which is illegal.
 
This is a problem when you have only two options in America - A or B with no option C, D, E, or F. Being an independent or voting for a third party is as good as staying home. I'm done with the fake politics of this country, lol my two real options are neo-marxists or interventionist neocons. And I'm no Libertarian, either. What an absolute joke - people watching cable news slop and young turks/conservative inc slop - it's just kabuki theater. - Make your red idiot puppet and blue idiot puppet have a slap fight.
People lie on the internet you retard. The Dems are trying to astro-turf consent thinking they can socially pressure the populace back onto their plantation.

Basically, but you’re just going to get a bunch of butthurt ratings.

Man you sure do like ignoring what the main problem is. Here's the tweet again for education purposes.

Look at what he says "Joe did not sign them and more importantly he did not know anything about them"

The main claim is that Joe didn't know about the pardons not the autopen shit, though the autopen doesn't help.
