And? So what? It’s important to make them vote because the alternative is letting them get away without stating their position. Then when the elections roll around they just claim they never supported the unpopular shit they did. Don’t let them memory hole their abuses in real time.
You can’t pardon away a law. They’re seeking liability not criminal punishment and conviction.
It’s not really intended to cause Musk harm, but to force Republicans to explicitly vote for musks continued assholery
Not to nit but we absolutely do not know the root cause of Alzheimer’s disease. Not that prions are good or anything.
For what? Being a moron? Not enough hours in the day to ban all the morons imo
You had time to write a clown ass insult but not time to read the article? If you don’t want an answer, maybe don’t ask the question next time.
Literally the very first paragraph of the story. The very first.
President Joe Biden is commuting the sentences of roughly 1,500 people who were released from prison and placed on home confinement during the coronavirus pandemic and is pardoning 39 Americans convicted of nonviolent crimes. It’s the largest single-day act of clemency in modern history.
Why? Because the president has arguably unlimited power to pardon federal crimes.

This is a good question from the wrong angle. This event is cathartic for many people because the ultra rich who ruin countless lives never get punished. When they see “consequences” it’s a golden parachute. This event is frustrating because the media, legal, and security apparatuses expect us to treat this assassination as a grave act, but actively normalize the acts of harm Thompson and other leaders like him commit every day.
This event is revealing in stark terms the divide between the elite and the average person. Should murderers be prosecuted? Sure - in a world where justice and the rule of law matter for everyone equally. Doesn’t feel like we live in that world.
You think they’re willing to take the chance that the guy who assassinated a CEO with bullets with messages on them wouldn’t take the stand to deliver a monologue?
In this case I’m not upset. How many deaths, bankruptcies, and lives ruined are these ghouls responsible for? Save your outrage for them. Just because their crimes are less dramatic doesn’t make them less meaningful
If they catch this guy he will never see trial. No way they’d risk him getting up on the stand, and even less likely they’d want to try their luck getting twelve people to convict. He’ll go down in a hail of gunfire or get Epstein’d
My original comment was too glib so here’s the truth. So long as the right is viciously opposed to democratic norms, consensus based governance, and the rule of law when it suits their needs, we don’t have the luxury of purity tests. Judges aren’t non-partisan. Nothing is non-partisan.
I refuse to be happy about the democrats doing so little that we’re stuck relying on
ancient judges appointed by centrists clinging to life and their career long enough that maybe the next democratic administration will get around to actually appointing leftist judges. It’s better than Trump’s appointments would be but not nearly good enough.
That pinball game on windows xp
Yes but it’s not a given considering a good chunk of US politicians defend Trump doing something like this on Jan 6
Both the majority party (which is the party of the president) and the opposition party are saying this is unconstitutional. So hopefully they have some actions they can take to curtail it.
If for nothing else I appreciate that they have a left handed cop for the symmetry
That’s the Washington state legislature. This happened in Washington DC.
