I don't think Presidents should be able to pardon themselves, their cabinet, or their family members. And Yes, I thought it was bad when Biden did it.

Trump suggests he is going to pardon everyone, including himself: "I'm allowed to do a self-pardon ... I don't want to see people that work for me go through years of nonsense"

Packed?

Remember we would always see the “Patriot Front” jumping out of Uhauls, marching through towns? That stopped when ICE got started, I just can’t figure that out

Do you think we can remember as a nation that this is what Republican rule looks like? Preferably for longer than five minutes?

Rep. Crow: “As a three-time combat veteran, I get pretty damn hot when a five-time draft dodger like Donald Trump pounds his chest and bangs the war drums in Washington…America is over it. America is over…the sending of our sons and daughters and brothers and sisters to enrich oil executives.”
