If you're tight on time, go to 5:26 mark.

That's rich that Clyburn thinks it's counter-productive to rehash the past. Gee, I wonder how far black Americans would be today if they followed that advice seventy years ago.

Yes, yes, and yes! Brian speaks for me! How else will people learn without consequences? If one side of the political spectrum can always count on the other side caving in instead of giving real world consequnces, how will they learn? Our side has done that too much! They are spoiled brats and our side has enabled them! And let's drop this whole "moving forward" argument. Our whole justice system is based on dealing with what happened in the past! Who else gets this kid glove treatment attitude except the well connected? And I'm sorry to say I loved Obama for so many things but I hated the fact that his administration chose to "move forward" instead of prosecuting the banksters who crashed the economy in 2008. Let's fight corruption! Americans have an appetite for it. As awful as the death of the CEO was, people justifiably rail against the injustice of the current system. We need more people with political spine in the Dem party!

There’s no unity to be found with a pardon. Clyburn’s argument only makes democrats complicit. I find him (and others) infuriating.

If you want to have the experience of “took the words right outta my mouth” — watch this. It’s superb.

I'm betting it's Pendejo45 and/or is incoming administration.

There is only one answer to this question and it's not NO.
It's HELL NO!
