    It was absolutely ridiculous he pardoned his family and shit, but it was absolutely necessary because the person entering office had campaigned on trying to arrest them on anything and everything without ever being able to show any proof or solid claims about what they were trying to arrest any of them for. Biden would have been an idiot not to do the pardons. But the real key was Biden trying to get congress to put it in writing that a president wasn’t immune from prosecution for acts performed as president. He wasn’t choosing the wording, congress was supposed to legislate it… Yet they didn’t want too, which says to me that there was a lot of members in Congress that wanted a king.

      Yep. The fact that he, the man currently most directly connected to Epstein. Is saber rattling to try and weaponize Epstein against his enemies only is evidence enough of that.

      I think what was most ridiculous was that the extremist right wing in this country set up a situation in which Biden had to issue pardons to try to preempt this nonsense from the moronic chuds like Taco and those that support him.

      Likely because many envision themselves as the ones holding the crown someday.

      I’d be happy if we just had a crippled psychic.
