In progressive true democracies where they have a credible legal system and the rule of law, that would be a very reasonable thing to believe, but in the USA, it most definitely ain’t.

And that's the problem, thanks to the "Democrats" and their weaponization of the justice system and the courts.

 

The proverbial "Man From Mars" would take one good look at what they did and conclude that the USA is now  the epitome of a Banana Republic.  The corruption was off the charts and, to make matters worse,  those people actually thought they were invincible.  They believed their own nonsense.

Is the US political system a bad joke?

 

It most certainly is when the SCOTUS confers immunity from prosecution on their own president.

Fauch always said to wear the mask to prevent the spread and to take the vack seen (which is safe)  to prevent getting Corvid. I think he also said he knew nothing about gain of function research in Wuhan. Or if he knew about the labb in Wuhan he didn't know about gain of function. Water under the bridge.

 

Not sure why so many people are angry at him.

Very funny … if sadly ignorant. They are a direct result of threats already made to go after those on the “enemies list”. Both Trump and the J6 “hostages” were indicted by my fellow citizen Grand Juries, then given the right of defense against the charges and found guilty by a separate citizen Trial Juries. I have little doubt that we will see a reaching for Sen. J. McCarthy (R-WIS) type tactics coming to the fore with the incoming administration. These preventative Pardons were, as Gen. Miley expressed, made so that the “enemies” of Trump, et al are not going to face years of emotional and financial cost due to Trump’s having been found to be a Felon by juries of his American citizen peers.

Part of a giant depopulation project?  That just might be it.  Crimes against humanity?  People tend to get upset when other people try to kill them.

if there is preemptive pardon than there must be a preemptive sentencing, isn't? 

Biden's advisers are went complete banana developing/inventing such nonsensical quazi juristic terms. 

 

Now Trump has a very right to issue those on Biden's minions - "guilty whatsoever however"

An interesting discussion on the legality of the pardons between Tylor Nixon and Samuel Terpening on X:

 

 

The TL;DR:

 

Samuel points out the historical precedents for preemptive pardons, and Tyler responds as to why this is different and unique. It is instructive to remember the pardon power of the presidency extends from his role as Commander-In-Chief, not as the chief executive of the country:

 

Ford preemptively pardoned Nixon -  Nixon already had presidential immunity, so the pardon was superfluous for public consumption, and the courts never took up the argument as to whether it was legitimate.

 

Lincoln preemptively pardoned soldiers in the Civil war, and Carter preemptively pardoned Vietnam draft evaders - these were both done during a wartime setting, and were intended to heal wounds after the war was complete. This is exactly the context for which the pardon power was written in the Constitution

 

Bush preemptively pardoned Caspar Weinberger over Iran-Contra - Weinberger was specifically indicted before the pardon, and the preemptive pardon, issued before the trial could begin, was narrowly tailored. Weinberger was not given blanket retroactive immunity for all crimes committed over a decade. Sadly, SCOTUS never took up the challenge to determine whether this pardon was, in fact, legitimate.

 

In short, Tyler argues this is a very different situation, and the Constitution does not give the President to authority to elevate someone completely above the law. It's useful to read the exact clause which confers the power of pardon to the president to get context:

 

Quote

The President shall be Commander in Chief of the Army and Navy of the United States, and of the Militia of the several States, when called into the actual Service of the United States; he may require the Opinion, in writing, of the principal Officer in each of the executive Departments, upon any Subject relating to the Duties of their respective Offices, and he shall have Power to grant Reprieves and Pardons for Offences against the United States, except in Cases of Impeachment.

 

Notice that the writers assumed this power would be used in the context of crimes committed during war, not ordinary, peace time criminal activity, which is why it is included as the right of the Command-In-Chief, not the President. Historical precedent has allowed this power to be used for non wartime crimes as well, however the US Supreme Court is not bound by precedent. They can reverse poor precedent at any time, and this particular case may be so brazen that they just might do that.

What's even worse is Biden was forced by his Christian moral values to be polite to a violent, loudmouth terrorist Timeshare Salesman. 😆

So if these Parsons are a so called admission of guilt, then what would you call the pardons of all the 1/6 defendants.  Make sure you answer that question very carefully MAGA wanna be

Good grief, you’ve got to be kidding. Trump pardons defendants, those who were already charged. Biden pardons preemptively knowing of the crimes that they committed and knowing that the evidence will surface. If they weren’t guilty then there would be no preemptive pardons. Though we can’t expect a simple minded shallow thinker to figure out such an overt obvious move unless it’s directed by the media.

That isn't true: Someone can be indicted by a federal grand jury and brought to trial and then found not guilty but be subjected to considerable legal expense and time commitments even when eventually found to be not guilty.

Are you lost or just blind? It’s blatantly clear and obvious what these political pardons are all about-so you can stop your pretending. Biden pardon these criminals because they are guilty of treasonous crimes that is soon to be exposed. Don’t you think it’s about time you lefty’s accepting that you have been lied to by the media and your corrupt politicians?

Typical MAGA response is to lie and evade as though it were the truth.  Fortunately some of us were born with common sense and minds of our own to subjectively assess and evaluate half-truths that originate from your MAGA daddy.  Time to lose the cult of personality and grow up sport!

Typical media indoctrinated leftist. You really didn’t say anything here except for your abject disappointment of Trump’s demolition of the left, that’s the laugh you’ll never be able to enjoy, and your abject loathing contemptuous disposition is quite entertaining 5!
