If they can elect a felon to the white house, so could we.

The real question is why hasn’t Biden pardoned Luigi but he did pardon the child slavery guy
Are you for real? He’s the leader of the Justice Department that charged Luigi with terrorism in the first place.
I mean it’s a rhetorical point, I’m not surprised that the Biden regime is going to execute a freedom fighter instead of one of the demiurgic archons tormenting us
FTR the president, who leads the executive branch of government, doesn’t lead the justice department, which is in the judicial branch, and until Trump 2016 that separation was almost always respected.

Technically, sure, but the DOJ is overseen by the AG, who is appointed by the President. That ‘balance’ created in 1870 is not well checked by our system.
You’re moving the goal posts. You said the president lead the justice department, which is false.
I agreed that you’re technically correct. Just like POTUS technically has no authority over SCOTUS, but some presidents get to appoint more justices than others.
You’re saying there’s a system. I’m agreeing and saying the system is flawed.
Because it’s a big club and you ain’t in it
You know why. Biden, like all presidents, doesn’t care about the actual heroes (Snowden, Manning, Luigi) and cares about people would make heroes required.
Eli Manning is a true hero 🇺🇸 🇺🇸 🇺🇸
We know why.
because it wasn’t a non violent crime like the poor cash for kids judge or ponzi schemes

Now without paywall!
Can you pardon someone who hasn’t been found guilty yet?
the president can in fact pardon someone before they are convicted of a crime! Nixon famously pardoned by Ford
And more recently we learned when Trump pardoned Joe Arpaio after he was convicted, but before he was sentenced, that a pardon doesn’t vacate a conviction.
Ever meet someone weeks out from retirement? No fucks given.

as someone who has no idea what luigi u are talking about, i will just leave this here
"here i go!"If he’s elected, he can pardon himself using trump’s changes can’t he? (Across the pond, so donno)
Thanks to Trump, we now know that Luigi could be elected while imprisoned.
He wouldn’t need Trump’s changes. A US president has unlimited power of pardon of federal (not state) charges, with the exceptions of impeachment related crime and self-pardons. The President can even pardon citizens before they’re charged with a crime, like Carter did for the Vietnam draft-dodgers.
Trump’s immunity change by SCOTUS blurs the self-pardon line a bit by allowing POTUS to commit crimes without repercussion as long as they are “official acts,” whatever that means. That change is more forward-thinking, making it far easier for his team to plan his crimes.
Thank you for the explanation!
No problem!
No, continuing to consent to, participate, and put faith in the sham that is electoral politics is the compromise.
The fact that people see the impact of direct action, and can’t resist the urge of their indoctrination to force it in to the box that is the constructs and systems that they’re familiar, and therefore comfortable with, even in an expressly leftist community, is frustrating as hell.
