White House officials believe President-elect Donald J. Trump’s selection of partisan warriors for top law enforcement jobs indicates that he will pursue revenge against his perceived enemies.
He doesn’t, that’s true. He will do the same regardless, but this is more ammunition for the media to normalize this behavior.
I want our government representatives to be held to a higher standard. These people work for us, and if they are breaking the law send them to court AND sentence them like anyone else. There should be no get out of jail free cards for people in your circle.
I just looked at the list of Trump’s previous pardons on Wikipedia. I’m on board for whatever now. Pardoning as a practice is fucked up, but yeah I guess we are just embracing corruption, so let’s go!
It was already embraced. “We” didn’t embrace shit. Trying to take the high road when dealing with literally any politician will leave you on the wrong side of a decision.
Why would he suddenly start needing some kind of precedent to do whatever he wants?

Trump will do it regardless of normalization.
That ship has already sailed - norms don’t mean shit to Trump.
