    They should pack their bags and start looking up which countries don't have extradition treaties.

    I was reading about this, how about a constitutional amendment more or less abolishing/regulating the President's pardon power and making it retroactive re the ex post facto provisions

    I actually think it has a good chance of ratification - everyone hates the corruption of pardon power

    Those in power are so corrupt at this point I don't see them changing it.

    You need 2/3 of Congress and 38 states. You're probably at 50% already.

    My other guess is that this would be an insanely popular measure publicly - probably 70-80% support

    Look, the current system is broken, reforming it is hard. Just changing Presidents alone isn't enough.

    This is probably one of the easier ones after the orgiastic corruption of the Trump era. Elite impunity is the through line, elite accountability is the cure

    That is actually a beautifuly composted photo. Genuinely reminds me "The Last Supper" if Jesus was an incontinent orange geriatric narcolept and all the apostles were greedy, self-serving toadies.

    @Salvy @Commodore these same dumbasses would post 10 different times if Biden did something wrong but now have completely disappeared when their cult leader is sleeping much more than Biden ever did.

    It's a low iq cult as I've been saying

    I'll give him a pass because it must be tiring liberating countries, arresting commie aholes, eliminating terrorists, raising the economy, making America safer and putting up with the far left media....

    We have never had a President with the executive capabilities of Trump -- and it should be no surprise that Trump has been so effective at getting things done. Border control, tax policy, ending wars, taking global control of the oil supply chain, reducing murders in urban areas, elimination of largesse in government (useless Federal jobs and fraud like USAID), reducing drug flow into the USA... the list goes on and on.

    How do I know I'm correct in my assessment? Just look at how mad the liberals are. It tells the story!


    GOOD DAY

    What country has he liberated? Venezuela still has a dictator, job market has lost jobs over the past year, energy prices through the roof, mortgage rates are near 7%, electricity prices at record prices, food prices at record prices.

    Bruh your dumbass propaganda doesn't work on us non cultists. Keep your propaganda to your fellow low iq cultists like @tinman who has a 4th grade reading level

    Not a single thing I said in that post is false. I'm sorry that social media has broken your ability to criticality think. I'll pray for your well being

    Since Obama, crime has been stable or in decline, with one exception. The homicide rate increased during Trump’s first term, then has been declining since Biden took office.

    Another exception is hate crime. Hate crimes against all groups have generally been on the rise since 2015 and have accelerated recently with the wars, and before that with COVID and social media. This is no surprise: hate breeds more hate. And when you have people who promote or normalize hatred in positions of political power, you will see more hate throughout society.

    How have crime rates in the United States changed over the last 50 years? - Our World in Data
