Thank you. Apologies in advance for nitpicking, but I think the correct spelling is "pardoned" (a quick search on Google confirms it).
Pardon me, but this is a list of pardons given to pardoned people.

#62We should at least ban the "preemptive" pardon if not all pardons. Pardon means forgiveness for a specific convicted crime, not a means to grant blanket immunity.
The preemptive pardon is ridiculous. Pardon for what? What if it comes out someone is a child cannibal? Are they pardoned for that?
There’s no /s so I’m assuming you didn’t know that child cannibalism was in the Epstein files https://www.yahoo.com/news/articles/fact-check-breaking-down...
So to answer your question, seems like Yes, pardons for all!

I'd presumed this was a wordplay on Donald Trump.

That's probably intentional on the DOJ's part at this point.
not sure why you think it's intentional. But, created a github issue, and will work on that today/tonight.. yay GLM 5.1 :) https://github.com/vidluther/pardonned/issues/23
>not sure why you think it's intentional
It's entirely on brand.

Pardon him for what? What is the charge here? Being a meal? Being a succulent Chinese meal?
For anyone who might be confused about the pardoning a turkey reference: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Thanksgiving_Turkey_P...

#67Presidential pardons should be banned, period. All presidential pardons are political in nature, and therefore not based on justice.

Stuff like this is very common. For example, at the start of Trump's second term, the whitehouse history page was changed to make democrat presidents look bad -

#69I would have thought a lot of the drug offense pardons by Obama would have been for marijuana but looking at the first few pages, they’re not.
> 118 of 2,791 GRANTS
Only 118 list marijuana in the pardon text

There is no universe where any pardon is abolished unless there is a massive political shakeup. The entrenched political class is terrified of endangering their power and privilege even if individual players are ready to do it.
