The way some Americans deify the Constitution is mental. Screaming you can't change it and must abide by it as it was written. Even though arguably the most famous parts of it are the fucking amendments. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

The powers of pardon and clemency exist to give the executive branch a check on the judiciary. During the arguments for ratification of the Constitution, many feared that an unelected judiciary who held their positions for life would lead to tyranny, so the Founding Fathers wrote in safety valves. The Constitution is not "tinpot" whatsoever - it is a magnificent work of art that has persisted through the centuries. The problem is the character of the men who uphold it. So that's why Trump hasn't pardoned himself or any of his offspring...its an admission of guilt. Not sure of Bannon will accept his tbh Link to post Share on other sites

Rayvin 1,343 Posted January 20 Report Share Posted January 20 Biden will reverse it all before it comes in of course, but it's worth saying anyway what an unmitigated cunt that man is. Link to post Share on other sites

Meenzer 4,349 Posted January 20 Report Share Posted January 20 It's real, but obviously it's mainly just being awkward at this stage, given it'll be overturned straight away under the new administration. But it's more red tape for them to untangle. Link to post Share on other sites

Tom 3,219 Posted January 20 Report Share Posted January 20 What an absurd country. All this emotion pouring out, people nearly crying but the life of most Americans won’t change at all. The door is ajar for “Smart” Trump, if such a person exists. Link to post Share on other sites
Meenzer 4,349 Posted January 20 Report Share Posted January 20 Nah, I'm a cynic too but I think the catharsis is absolutely necessary after the last four years. Plenty of problems to be addressed, but it's fine for them to have this day. Link to post Share on other sites

TheGingerQuiff 1,797 Posted January 20 Report Share Posted January 20 Whilst the left are telling people what they should think there'll be people on the right taking advantage and tapping into their prejudices. Would you rather be a gay teenager being accommodated by a radgey homophobe or somewhere with genuinely liberal values? Link to post Share on other sites

No one will ever be the orator that Obama is but Biden would appear to be pitching his public utterances just right...won’t make a blind bit of difference to the MAGAs but if he doesn’t start a war, reforms health care and creates a few jobs he’ll be ok..having majority in the house will help Edited January 20 by PaddockLad 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Massive job trying to repair the US, it is in pieces. For anyone it is a huge task but someone his age even bigger, can't help but feel Kamala Harris will be in the driving seat for the majority of the time. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
