If hypothetically you became POTUS, who would you pardon first?

[llorando]

Me, Assange would get the first pardon.

Non-violent weed offenses. Not all the drugs, just weed.

Next up would be creating compromise in the bipartisan, neither Liberal or Conservative would fully get their way, at all. My administration would have aims of tolerance without worship, equality would be equality, period. Gay marriage legal? Sure. 50 different pronouns being recognized? No. A council of doctors with CONFIRMED differing political affiliations would be formed, maybe a total of 12, 6 being right wing, 6 being left. When I present to them an issue, they need to create a few solutions and vote. Ties would broken by an standby list that alternates between democrat and republican doctors.

Police would be redistributed funding. Defunding the police is moronic. There needs to be better funding for superior training. Focus areas would be the rapid identification of items. This protects the officer, to identify a gun more quickly, giving him the confidence to respond accordingly faster. This will ALSO aim to heighten the accountability of police shooting unarmed people.

Mixed socialism and capitalism. Socialism to survive, capitalism to thrive. I don’t want you legitimately starving to death and not being able to afford medication and heat. But it’s bullshit if you think you’ll live a more luxurious life than people actually working.

Prison reform: Funding towards prisons for more rehabilitative programs. I do not mean more lenient prison sentences. I mean more adequate preparation to give offenders the tools to enter society with a better chance for not reoffending.

Why doctors?

[blissinanarchy1]

@msc545 Doctors, like people, are susceptible to having hidden political agendas. An even number of republican and democrat doctors should keep each other in check. Even amongst their colleagues in the same political party, I doubt they’d tie in votes often.

[msc545]

Why not plumbers or CEOs or waiters?

[blissinanarchy1]

@msc545 For medical situations.

[msc545]

ok...

[NamerOfStars]

I'm tempted to say "Snowden", but his book suggests he doesn't WANT a pardon, so much as to be tried openly, without the restriction on admission of evidence deemed "of state security" (or something like that). I'm not sure how he feels now, with a kid on the way and having built something of a life in Russia; I'd probably call and ask him first (I'm pretty sure the President could get in touch with him if they wanted). Assange is high up on the list, too, but I think my actual first- purely for pragmatism's sake- would be the 138 Mennonites brutalized (and in some cases, outright martyred) for refusing to accept battle thralldom during WW1. SOMEONE needs to enforce the thirteenth amendment, and if Congress won't...

[SnowedIn]

And here I thought you wanted SnowedIn. :(

;)

[NamerOfStars]

@SnowedIn... I wasn't aware you'd committed a federal crime, but hey, I can add you to the list. ;)

[SnowedIn]

... on second thought...

[Anonymous]

I probably wouldn’t pardon anyone. I’m not really a fan of people escaping the consequences of their actions. I’d have to be absolutely convinced of their innocence.

[Pudsmucker]

If I was a POTUS I would want to study the situation out with each person that's in prison. There was definitely a reason why each person was placed in prison. Some of them can be political and some of them criminal. Yes the United States has political prisoners government will deny it.

[KostasKouvalis]

Edward Snowden

Donald Trump

And I could Pardon Assange for the political crimes, but not for the rapes

[llorando]

Don't need to pardon Assange for rape, Sweden dropped the investigation.

[KostasKouvalis]

Oh well there we go. That solves that problem

[NathanDavis]

I would have to forgive myself first...

because that would mean that I sold my soul and integrity in the first place... to become POTUS

[CAPTAIN-OBVIOUS]

I would try my best to have a smarter population. Invest into education somehow.

[llorando]

But who would be the first person you would pardon?

[gorydetails]

Same. Assange. Then go on a scorched earth policy on executive orders.

[exitseven]

All the Jan 6th protesters would be pardoned and given reparations to boot.

[supercutebutt]

I predict if fat clown keeps saying shit like that, your buttbuddy will be mysteriously "removed from the equation" by the families of the cops he murdered and maimed. But at least you will have your memories. :)

[exitseven]

@supercutebutt What cops were murdered or maimed? The story about the cop that got hit with the fire extinguisher was a lie that was pushed by the fake news. The only fatality was an unarmed Air Force veteran who was murdered by a trigger happy mall cop who was never charged.
Don't tell me about the 4 Capitol police that committed suicide. Would you commit suicide because somebody put his feet up on Pelosi's desk? I think it is more plausible that they were killed by democrats because they were going to tell the truth about really happened.

[supercutebutt]

@exitseven You are vile.

[exitseven]

@supercutebutt come on- use your brain.

[supercutebutt]

Brain is being used. I watched the assault on Democracy play out live on January 6th with my own eyes. I watched cops getting bashed with Trump flags and baseball bats. I heard your people chanting "Hang Mike Pence." I watched them smash windows and I watched them trash the Capitol. And I watched as fat fuck did nothing for hours except quietly support the violence after he spent months lying to idiots that the election would be stolen. And now he wants to pardon criminals who either murdered or attempted to murder people. You are the one not using your brain. You were played. And you should feel deep shame.

[exitseven]

@supercutebutt Nope, and when President Trump is re elected and they are set free I will sleep like a baby. It is the current administration that carries all the shame.

[supercutebutt]

@exitseven You have lost your mind. And you will never sleep like a baby again.

[exitseven]

@supercutebutt You are not mad at me are you?

[msc545]

Exit, reading this made me feel sad, as you are my friend here and a very smart guy usually.

[exitseven]

@msc545 History will tell that I am right.

[msc545]

It is already starting to record that you are wrong.

[exitseven]

@msc545 That is because the whole story has not come out yet.. All we saw was a kangaroo court with no opportunity for cross examination.

[msc545]

wait and see.

[exitseven]

@msc545 indeed.

[Snakeyes7]

Yes definitely Assange.

[msc545]

Assange absolutely.
