Summary
In his final hours as president, Joe Biden issued preemptive pardons to Dr. Anthony Fauci, retired Gen. Mark Milley, and members of the Jan. 6 Committee, aiming to shield them from potential retaliation by the incoming Trump administration.
Trump has hinted at targeting those who opposed him or investigated his actions.
Biden stressed that the pardons do not imply wrongdoing but protect reputations and finances from politically motivated investigations.
This unprecedented move reflects concerns about threats to democracy under Trump’s return to power.
No, no we shouldn’t.
This is just a case of you not liking the results (I don’t like them either). Again, the people spoke, and this is what we got. It sucks, but it’s on the up and up.
This is literal fascism. Read a history book to figure out how fascism always turns out and why it’s vital for any “free” society to do literally anything it can to prevent it from taking root.
Elections aren’t the be-all, end-all. People made the objectively wrong decision.
They made the decision. Either to vote for the insurrectionist rapist, or to sit it out because of ONE issue happening across the world. Yet none of them own up to it, choosing instead to blame the politicians for not giving them an ideal choice.
Imagine if you heard this from a republican. He only raped ONE girl, he only gave ONE box of highly sensitive documents to the Saudis, he only tried to overthrow ONE election.
That issue is fucking genocide and it was being enabled by our goverment. I understood the importance of holding the line leading up to the election and supporting the dems but now that it is over? They are corrupt and decided to placate their patrons because they thought they had an easy win and could ignore voters. They ran on apathy. They caused this directly.
The democrats need to change. We can’t normalize genocide, even if it’s only ONE genocide. Stop blaming voters, it’s the dems job to listen to them and they alienated half their base instead.
It’s more or less the fact that Trump isn’t going to do any better down there, so for this particular issue, whomever you vote for, you get the same result. Why not look at the bigger picture then?
I understand that and it’s why I was very vocal before the election about the importance of voting for her anyways. But can we hold them accountable now that it is over? They completely shit the bed.
I don’t want to find myself voting for whatever atrocity their donors come up with again in 4 years. They won’t change if we keep patting them on the back and telling them it’s the voters that are stupid.
Dead children, status quo and fracking is a terrible platform to run on. They deserved to lose. We didn’t deserve for them to lose, but they did it to themselves and I don’t want them to do it a second time, for our sake.
I think if the US isn’t involved at all, there’s still genocide in that region, one way or another. Maybe it takes longer.
I’d still rather we didn’t directly support it. I think it’s partly because we have too much AIPAC in our politics. I just don’t think we’re the cause.
Be that as it may, that’s what the country voted for and got. There was a free and fair election, and we fucked up royally.
