Should Biden pardon Trump?

[coachTanthony]

Yes

No

[Gold618]

No, but only because I don't believe that presidents should have the power to pardon anyone. People who have committed a crime should have to deal with the consequences of their actions.

[Agape93]

Sure. Why? Because accepting a pardon literally means you have accepted and admitted you committed a crime.

[RavVid]

It would come across as a final, magnanimous statesman like gesture to bury the hatchet to those of us outside of the US. Allies would applaud. Enemies would be disconcerted.

[exitseven]

No, there is nothing to pardon him about. Most of the cases against him have been abandoned and the ones that are not will easily be overturned on appeal.

[exitseven]

Thanks for the MHO😎

[RingOfFire]

Trump doesn't need a pardon. Four of the five phony cases against him are already gone and the fifth one is as good as dead.

Pardoning Trump would just be a ploy to make it look like Biden was being equal handed to both sides.

But the Bidens are criminals and Trump is not.

[Amy10223]

Haaahaaa!

[Amy10223]

No. The courts, it seems, have already done that for him.

[dustybiker2]

Lets not blame the courts, more the people he positioned in the courts

[Amy10223]

@dustybiker2 Exactly. He appointed 2 of those.

[dustybiker2]

Yes. It's true.

[Bricealan]

I think Joe Biden oughta give Donald Trump the best blowjob he’s ever had

[Likes2drive]

Sure why not, he pardoned his son who is real convict and accused of many crimes

[msc545]

Well when he becomes President Trump can try to pardon himself and see how that works out.

[andreasderjuengere]

@msc545 ... ccol: without seeing your post earlier, I had a similar thought :D

[Likes2drive]

@msc545 maybe, not sure if he is allowed to do that

[andreasderjuengere]

If he isn't, then he may try to sue his way into it.
...
or nominate a close relative into a legal position that does it for him.
...
I no longer have faith in the organization of that nation.

[msc545]

Neither do any of us who live here. It's a mess.

[OlderAndWiser]

Yeah, but he won't.

[Kelley1]

Not applicable. Biden can only pardon federal crimes.

[lightbulb27]

How about he pardon everyone serving less than 3 years.

[andreasderjuengere]

That would be one cool move.

But then... in January, the new dictator will just pardon himself anyways :D

[msc545]

I think the supreme Court already effectively pardoned Trump and I don't see the point in doing this. The man is a criminal and he doesn't deserve pardon in any event.

[BikerCD]

Both need to be put in prison for ruining the country!!

[Twalli]

For the federal charges? He can't do anything for the state charges.

[Anonymous]

There is far too much paperwork.

[Dongie]

Wouldn't that be a slap in the face of all demos.

[beefcakebradybatson]

H**L to the NO !!!

[Kingofkings1992]

Pardon for what?

[goaded]

Congratulations on coming out of your eight year coma!

[Kingofkings1992]

@goaded no, I’m just not a propagandist like you are

[goaded]

There are still two federal indictments that can be re-brought against Trump, he still committed all the crimes described in them, and more. It's not propaganda.
