I've seen articles that say that Biden should pardon Trump. 

That would be a supremely bad move.  Sure, he shouldn't ask the DOJ to "lock him up", but he shouldn't stop prosecutors from pursing things if evidence is presented.

The worst thing about pardoning Trump would be its effect on future presidents.

Nah, they'll still believe they're smarter than the FBI.

We have a long history of sitting presidents pardoning outgoing presidents.

You are correct! I have held this wrong belief for a long time. Someone said it to me and I didn't fact check it. They made a convincing statement about how presidents will take care of other president because that is what they will want when they leave. I retract my statement and post this:

"Republican president Gerald Ford pardoned, commuted, or rescinded the convictions of 409 people. Among them are: Richard Nixon – granted a full and unconditional pardon in 1974 just before he could be indicted in the Watergate scandal. This was the only time that a U.S. president received a pardon."

My bad...

My cousins would say you drank the Kool-aid.

Probably won't happen, but Andrea Yates would be a nice thorn in the orange turd's side.

The woman who killed all her kids because gawd told her to?

What are you on about this time?

I think he meant Sally Yates, but - as usual - Brian’s ignorance and laziness got the better of him.

You must have your decoder ring out of the shop.
