> Presidential pardons don't affect state crimes What good has this done in any of the hundreds of scumbag drug and human trafficker cases that have been let free via Presidential pardons?! Did a State come step in afterwards, in any , ever ?

While not directly connected to Jan 5, a surprising amount of the rioters ended up with state crimes. It’s almost as if they were criminals all along.

What’s this got to do with what I said,

or Pam Bondi?

Trump openly stated one of the perks of running an underage beauty pageant was being able to walk in on them in the dressing room. He has himself admitted to being a pedophile...

I can't believe you are making me defend this guy. It is creepy as shit and I wouldn't allow him near my kids, but there is a very specific legal definition of pedophile and looking isn't the same as touching. It dilutes the term when you use it the wrong way.

No clue what you're on about:

> Pedophilia is defined as a sexual interest in prepubescent children.

When they touch them they're not a pedophile, they're a pedophile molester or a pedophile rapist. It has adds an additional word.

He likes looking at children in states of undress. He's a pedophile.

And, if dozens of people are to be believed across multiple lawsuits and 30,000 files at the FBI he's going to literal war to hide, he's a pedophile rapist too.

We’re not that deep. One is bad enough. Biden was not senile or a pedophile. That was an obvious attempt to rub smear off of Trump. We do comprehend the existence of propaganda, it’s just that we can’t do anything about it anymore than you can.

The insistence that Biden was not senile amounts to gaslighting.

Random news article I pulled up: "FBI Director Kash Patel is reportedly seeking to release files related to the Democratic lawmaker's previous association with a suspected Chinese intelligence operative."

Why would Bondi have ties to this drama?

Apparently there is a tight connection between Bondi and Eric Swallwell.

Trump's abuse of the presidential pardon is so hideous, I wouldn't be surprised if this power granted by the original US Constitution is amended after he leaves, in response to his unprecedented lack of respect for it. However, I also wouldn't be surprised if nobody in power ever possesses the strength of character or simple morality to do so.

I don't think we should change it. I think we as a nation need to understand the person we put in that office has that power, and choose accordingly . It's there for a reason. Sometimes, it's perfectly acceptable for the President to say "fuck this shit" for the good of the Nation. With that power though, comes the responsibility to wield it with respect. This country put the man abusing it in power . No one had seco…

I vehemently disagree with this idea. I think you need to understand that all humans are fallible and you should have less vertical power structures and more horizontal structures. Putting all the power into one person's hands is asking for tyrants

Seeing as you don't know how his name is spelt, and you haven't provided a source for your claim/rumor, I will disregard your clamment.

The genesis of the Fourteenth Amenedment was to deny citizenship to any circumventing said jurisdiction, as the Confederate states had done. As illegal aliens have all done. Seems pretty cut and dry to me, especially considering SCOTUS previously ruled American Indians were not under the jurisdiction of The United States after the Fourteenth was ratified, requiring Congress to enact a law granting them citizenship. D…

Sources on the first paragraph? I can’t tell what you’re even trying at say. DACA ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deferred_Action_for_Childhood_... ) was an exec order specifically because those individuals were brought over (as children, with no agency over their fate) after they were born, not before, so of course they weren’t citizens via the 14th. You’re correct that It wasn’t a law passed by Congress, but it’s i…

14th Amendment: 'wherein they reside', residency is a legal state indicating an immigration process per the law has been followed.

And though your point about not having agency is significant, the law and the Constitution says DACA recipients should have been deported. We allowed a rogue President to override that.
