    “Honey, we have to move.”

    “Why? The kids like it here, and they’ve settled in nicely at school.”

    “A MAGA is moving in next door.”

    “Well, we can’t allow him around the kids. Where do you want to move to?”

    Add pardons for Keith Raniere, R Kelly and Andrew Tate and there might be enough cover to get away with Maxwell. “I don’t have a favorite sex trafficker, we’re taking care of all of it. I don’t play favorites” - trump, likely.

    Pardons should be reserved solely for crimes against the state or crimes committed in service to eh state. Crimes against individuals by other individuals should not be pardonable.

      Normally the function of pardoning was self-regulating in that the media would exscoriate any President who did it in such an abusive way and the electorate would punish them and their party accordingly at the ballot box.

      But corruption has become normalized and media has been completely hijacked by billionaires that reality isn’t so clear cut as it once was.

      Well, I dunno. Pardons are good when the justice system fails and locks up innocent people for decades. The burden of proof on appeals is set so high that the appeals system is broken in and of itself. Think about all the racially motivated prosecutions throughout the years, the unjustly prosecuted anarchists, the bribed juries, the kangaroo court shenanigans, etc. How many stories have we heard of cops badgering the wrong person for dozens of hours in interrogation until they got false confessions? All because cops’ egos are so absurd that they refuse to admit they might have come to the wrong conclusions with incomplete information. I’m all for pardons in crimes against individuals. The problems isn’t in the case structure, it’s in the person doling out the pardons.

      Wowowow that’s a call for violence buddy and violence is bad!

      Try talking to the pedophiles and ask them to stop being fucking children. If that doesn’t work you can try a protest - may I suggest ping pong paddles? They won’t be as heavy to hold as a wooden sign.

    He’s the lead singer and front man for a new band called the PedoCons, and he’ll pardon Diddy in exchange for a record deal.
