Should Biden "blanket pardon" everyone who trump is threatening to lock up?

[ecstatic]

What can be done to protect everyone who trump is threatening to lock up (Jack Smith, Alvin Bragg, Liz Cheney, etc)?

[Ocelot II]

1. Yup, and fuck the whiners who bloviate about it.

Everybody who's on Trump's and Patel's enemies lists should be given the same general pardon that Ford gave Nixon, because every last one of them has a target on his/her back. The worst thing Nixon ever did to his "enemies" was threaten IRS audits, which the IRS commissioner at the time refused to do. Trump will try to bring the full weight of the FBI and the DoJ down on at least some of these people. The purpose will not necessarily be to actually send them to prison (most won't make it past a grand jury), but to bankrupt them in the process of having to defend themselves, and to deter others from talking smack about Dear Leader.

2. lol! Might as well go out with a bang!

[kerry-is-my-prez]

22. "Own the Reps!"

[Initech]

10. Yup! Hannity and Ingraham can go shove it where it doesn't shine!

[DeepWinter]

38. Then it sets the precedent

the next President pardons all his friends. Then the next President pardons all his friends. Then the next President pardons all his friends. Then the next President pardons all his friends. Then the next President pardons all his friends. ...

And we all look like children on the Worlds stage.

[ecstatic]

39. Agreed but trump already set that precedent.

We don't know what will happen but we do know that trump has promised to punish everyone who attempted to hold him accountable.

Unfortunately, thanks to garland, Democrats already had a massive failure by not bringing trump to justice prior to 2024. Are we now going to add on to the failure by not protecting the people who tried to do their jobs? That would be an absolute disgrace and no amount of spinning or purist drivel would fix that.

[Prairie Gates]

40. We already look like idiots on the world stage

He should do it.

[Mz Pip]

3. Absolutely

He has the power and immunity, too.

I hope he takes advantage of it.

[FullySupportDems]

4. I think it's the only way he can defend those citizens

From being attacked by a domestic threat to their civil rights. It's a clear danger to them and I think he is obligated. What are they gonna do, not vote for him? Threaten him with something they haven't already? Whine?

[Mike 03]

11. And for some of them, who have received a lot of

publicity, or testified, and who lack resources, I would even be in favor of providing them with personal security, or funds to pay for private security.

We owe it to them.

(And don't get me started on how the NY court system let down Stormy Daniels...)

[Jim__]

5. Yes!

[bucolic_frolic]

6. He should neuter all of Trump's grievance tour against anyone

Trump is a crooked sheriff. This isn't the Olde West.

[CincyDem]

7. Absolutely.

Many of those folks represent leadership of some core institutions of democracy. Protecting them is an important element of “doing everything possible to protect democracy”.

Pardon power for whatever reason has always been a presidential power…thing to assert it to its fullest. Imagine our future with Kash’s hit list in jail.

Pardon them all.

[VMA131Marine]

8. Yes!

And if that wasn’t clear enough

Y.E.S.!!!!!

[Mike 03]

9. I'm for it, big time

Trump's self-proclaimed "Secretary of Retribution," Ivan Raiklin, wants to persecute the Capitol Hill police officers who testified about the Jan 6 insurrection! His list allegedly contains the names of over 350 people and to my knowledge it has not been made public.

As we all know, a lot of very decent and courageous people are on these lists. I am guessing that everyone involved in the January 6 Committee in any way, shape and form is on that list, including Cassidy Hutchison, Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss.

The thought of not protecting these folks is inconceivable if President Biden has the power to do so.

[ecstatic]

12. so we need a copy of that list...

It shouldn't be too hard for someone to trick empty g or bobo into providing it.

[sinkingfeeling]

13. Yes. There are no longer rules nor norms.

You know what TSF would do if things were reversed.

[enid602]

14. Von Papen

That’s like Fritz von Papen issuing blanket pardon protection to all the people who Hitler was threatening to lock up,

[ramedy]

15. Of course he should.

But he won’t.

[OutNow]

16. Yes - and pardon all the Dreamers

Since the Supreme Court has decided that a President can't get in trouble for doing any official act, he should issue pardons for anyone on Trump's enemy list and lots of other folks including MSNBC folks and any others media folks who were critical of Trump. In addition, he should do a blanket pardon for all Dreamers so they can stay in the USA. Come on Joe, get that pardon machine cranking baby.

[Demsrule86]

17. Yes

[Trueblue1968]

18. Yes and pardon the millions of anti trumpers too. Rump considers us The Enemy of the People.

[ArnoldLayne]

19. Yes

[BigmanPigman]

20. Hell, yes!

[NameAlreadyTaken]

21. Yes, absolutely

[LetMyPeopleVote]

23. Yes

[LetMyPeopleVote]

24. Here is a list of people who President Biden may consider pardoning

I remember the Nixon's enemies list. My high school civics teacher/debate coach made sure that we all saw this list. There as a joke that not being on the list was an actual insult by Nixon

There are some republicans on this list

Link to tweet

[Volaris]

25. Yes he should, and then he should issue himself one,

And when the SC says 'bro no you can't pardon your damn self', it can be turned as precedent against trump when he absolutely does the same thing.

Blanket pardons for everyone on Kashs list, to start with.

Speaking of, can someone here print up a form letter that I can sign, that can be sent to DirectorFBIOffice.gov, or whatever, requesting I be put on Kashs Enimies List?

I'll happily sigh it, and if a few million other of us do the same, at least the world will see him as the laughing stock he is.

[kimbutgar]

26. Yes pardon away President Biden

He’s going to be our last Democratic elected president so please proceed.

RIP USA 1776-2025 we will have a dictatorship that won’t go away in 2028.

[diane in sf]

27. Yes tRump even threatened people who donate to the Harris campaign. So I want one. And maybe Biden can

just pre-emptively pardon the entire population of the US and territories,

[Blue Owl]

28. Fuck yeah

Now THAT would be a BIG FUCKING DEAL….

Joe should pardon EVERY AMERICAN who believes in DEMOCRACY and not the fat fuck’s fascist Russian agenda — fuck them all to the depths of hell….

[Seeking Serenity]

29. Can he keep ***** from pardoning the J6 rebels?

We turned into a lawless society a month ago anyway, so why not give it a try?

[Dulcinea]

30. Yes.

What's he got to lose? He should tell the McFelon to go fuck himself while he's at it, but Joe is too much of a class act for that.

[Jit423]

31. Hell YES!!

[madashelltoo]

32. Yes.

[FlyingPiggy]

33. ABSOLUTELY!!!!

[bdamomma]

34. Yes

everyone who is on the felon's enemies list blanket pardons.

[WarGamer]

35. Not a chance... it's like an admission of criminality to the public.

The optics would be REALLY bad.

[lark]

43. Don't care. If appointing a criminal who spent years in jail to be an ambassador, all rules were thrown out.

In electing a criminal traitor our country has shown they want fascism, only they think it will only hurt others and not them. How ironic it will be when they are losing everything too - only the people who voted for him 100% deserve every bad thing they will get - WE DON"T!!!

[Emile]

36. Is Garland on the list?

[lark]

42. No pardon for him - he is guilty as sin and will never be charged.

I hope his conscience hurts him every day though, it would be fitting.

[SamKnause]

37. He should do everything in his power to fuck up everything the trump cult wants to accomplish.

Fuck the optics.

We are fighting to save democracy from the criminal trump cult.

[lark]

41. 100%!!

Pardon ALL the people tsf has threatened.
