It’s weird that the president can preemptively pardon people. Like, can the president hypothetically preemptively pardon a friend of his and then that friend would just be free from legal action forever?

Absolutely shameful that things have gotten to the point where this is necessary
I don’t want to constantly be in a position where we are forced to play a frantic and desperate defence against fascist tyranny. When 2029 comes around, I want a resurgent liberalism acting proactively to advance liberty and justice instead of constantly reacting to the projects of un-American reactionaries

Yeah, we’re really fucked as a country if an outgoing President needs to pardon civil servants just to protect them from bullshit prosecutions, aren’t we?
So, this, along with the ‘Schedule F’ executive order… at what point should I seriously consider leaving the United States? What’s the red line? Is it the Schedule F and purging the military, which is what he’s doing right now? Interfering directly with elections? Open bribery of judges? Running for a third term?

Bad precedent for Trump!!!!
As if Biden not doing this will stop Trump from doing it. The idea was already floating in Trump’s head.
