Washington Examiner
Activists cheered when Joe Biden committed to not pardoning President Trump. But the concern at the root of the question is not based on substantive evidence any top Democrats think pardoning Trump would be a beneficial move should they win the White House.
In a Thursday MSNBC town hall, a viewer submitted a question for the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee: “Would you be willing to commit to not pulling a President Ford and giving Donald Trump a pardon under the pretext of healing the nation?” he asked, referring to the pardon of President Richard Nixon after he resigned in 1974 amid the Watergate scandal. “In other words, are you willing to commit to the American ideal that no one is above the law?”
Biden assured the questioner he would not. More
Wow!
I bet President Trump is REALLY worried, now!
izlamo delenda est …
how about Obama? would you pardon him? …. ’cause no one is above the law
ask that question, fluffer
Can you possibly get any dumber than this? What are the odds now that Trump would extend him the courtesy of a pardon? Reality is he stands a very good chance of being prosecuted
There is not going to be a peaceful solution to all this crap.
Other than, maybe, a total and unconditional surrender by the right.
Pardon him for what? Oh yeah for beating old, fat, corrupt and ugly Clinton!
Will he also vow no pardon for Hunter?
Hmmmm. That doesn’t pass the sniff test.
Guys- I know this is way off topic, but it needs to be here. Our grain elevators are empty. We need to throw the damned flag. I grew up in this shit. I saw them emptied and actually sent to Russia. We are fucked unless we do something like raise he’ll. Don’t overlook it or the kids will suffer.
Back in the ‘70’s a San Francisco radio station was owned by a liberal gay guy. However, his editorials were full of common sense.
After Ford pardoned Nixon, this station owner commented that it was a good thing because then Congress would actually get down to the business of doing what it is supposed to do rather than continue spending its time going after Nixon and neglecting everything else — just like the current Congress ignored the pandemic because it was chasing that bogus impeachment.
No pardon for you Biden when you are prosecuted for aiding and abetting our enemy, Iran, with pallets of cash. How about your tying aid to firing the prosecutor investigating Burisma where your loser so was on the take? How about the corruption of your entire family getting rich off of deals due to you being a former VP? So, how about your dealings with China? How about your likely role in Fast & Furious? Perhaps you also had a part in Benghazi?
You damn, perverted, corrupt, lying, and demented POS Democrat foolish scum! We may have to suspend our prohibited use of cruel and unusual punishments for you and your compatriots in the FBI, DOJ, and former administration.
He’s a sock puppet. That said, he’s being used to thteaten PDJT into leaving obama out of the coup criminal comspiracy.
No way!
I wouldn’t expect him to – but as Bad Brad noted this serves as notification to Trump not to consider a pardon for him.
Pardon for what?
I wasn’t aware that a demented pedophile ex vice president had any authority to pardon anybody
Tim – – EXACTLY! No crime, no pardon.
Pardon Me?
Did Trump kill someone? Or a bunch of people? Is he a murderer like fat-arsed Hellary?
Funny thing – Trump isn’t promising HIM one, either! 😁
Will he pardon obama?
Dang. Sometimes it takes me a while to figure out the obvious. The real reason Joey wants so badly to be president is so he can pardon himself.

…that wouldn’t be peace. That would just be agreeing to line up for the boxcars.

“‘We will have peace,’ said Théoden at last thickly and with an effort. Several of the Riders cried out gladly…. ‘Yes…’ he said, now in a clear voice, ‘we will have peace, when you and all your works have perished — and the works of your dark master to whom you would deliver us. You are a liar, Saruman, and a corrupter of men’s hearts. You hold out your hand to me, and I perceive only a finger of the claw of Mordor…. Even if your war on me was just as it was not… even so, what will you say of your torches in Westfold and the children that lie dead there? And they hewed Háma’s body before the gates of the Hornburg, after he was dead. When you hang from a gibbet at your window for the sport of your own crows, I will have peace with you and Orthanc…. A lesser son of great sires am I, but I do not need to lick your fingers. Turn elsewhither. But I fear your voice has lost its charm.'”
-JRR Tolkien, “The Two Towers”
…plug in Trump for Théoden, Plugs for Saruman, and Democrats for Mordor, and it’s pretty much current…
@Bad_Brad – reverse projection. Classic!
@Sns – another JJRT rabbit hole?!? :>)
Oh, you asked IF I read the Silmarillion?? I gave a good try when it came out but gave up?! Very VERY heady Middle Earth stuff…
Oh, of the movies? I actually never saw Jacksons’ version of The Hobbit. I don’t know why?

I tend to agree, even IF DJT wins? It still won’t be ‘good’. The left will never let up, unless DJT can destroy them in the second term? Maybe?

…just watch the last one, the other two are puerile to the point of being offensive. The last one has it’s flaws too, but the battle visuals are interesting (and yes, eagles are animated coming to the rescue)…

…also, you should push into the Silmarillon again, if only for the Second Age Fall of Numenor. It’s a pretty good cautionary tale of how a man can get so powerful and full of himself that he can think he can challenge God Himself.
He is talked into this by none other than Sauron Himself…yes, THAT Sauron…and, after tormenting and torturing the Faithful Numenoreans who refuse to turn on God and have to flee from him, he leads the REST of his people to utter destruction.
…it’s amazing how the tech changes, but man himself never does. This is as contemporary for us as it was for Tolkien, and would have been for David…
@Sns – who is Michael the ArchAngel of ME? Is it Gandalf? OR other waaaay before that?
Also, the Silmarillion talks about the origins of the Astari correct? Who created THOSE dudes, whatever happened to Rhadaghast(sp) the Brown??
It explains how things started in the Grey Havens, Creation in effect? And ends of FULL circle going back there…to retire in Elfdom??
Do I have that correct??
And yes I remember reading that Sauron was also further explained.
It’s a prologue to the LOTR/Hobbit basically right?
You have convinced me to give it another try!
Where’s is ‘Mithrindir’ to chime in ova here?
