I think the country needs nuremburg trials
#GuillotineParty
Guillotines are tired and boring.
#WoodchipperParty
Guillotines are a metaphor, implying the French Revolution.
Wood chippers are a metaphor for Fargo, North Dakota.
Who said anything about metaphors?
Hear, hear! We need to have an absolute fuckton of trials for people involved in this blatantly corrupt administration.
Nope. Pardoning Nixon was a mistake that should not be repeated.
Giving him a general pardon and not for specifics was the mistake. Alternate history for Nixon going to trial or any other course other than the one he took is a wild ride. As is most points in history, but it would have been an ugly America, so Ford’s spoken motive had some merit. Whether Reagan makes it in seems to be a debated point, depending on how long the Nixon trial(s) go.
But he was not a crook, someone said?
Then that someone has slept in school, or had an American education.
Instead of just throwing in a random YT link, how about some information?
My first comment referred to a fact that might be considered widely known, but somehow not by you as you didn’t get it. That’s ok - so I took the effort to find you the video that informs you about it. If you still don’t understand it or are too lazy to inform yourself, I’m afraid I can’t help you, sorry.
No, your random comment makes no sense at all.
If you took the “effort” to find it, maybe you should have provided a minimum of information. Imagine, there are people who don’t just click on random YT links provided by random people.
If you don’t want to be understood, why bother at all?
A certain Mark Twain quote seems to be appropriate here. But you don’t deserve any further effort.
Even if Trump copied Nixon by resigning early so Vance could pardon him, he’d still be facing various state charges. (And he could always be extradited outside the US for war crimes.)
The next president should arrest every other president and conscribe them to slave labor until the nation’s school lunch debts are repaid.
And private prisons all closed.
Replaced with The People’s Prison where I can throw things at all the incarcerated presidents like a horribly mismanaged zoo
Does this include digging most of them up and propping them up on trial in the manner of Pope Formosus?
I think that’s up to the president, sounds stinky
…?
I bet the worst thing Nixon stuck his weiner into was a lukewarm Hot Pocket. In his words, “I am not a cook.”
The next “president” will quite likely be named trump.
If they run Hillary or Harris again, you’re probably right.
Jon Stewart should be president. And Mark Kelly should be his VP. Media presidents have done exceptionally well at achieving their objectives. The problem is their shitty objectives, not their celebrity.
Absofuckinglutely not! Nixon shouldn’t have been pardoned either!
The whole pardon thing should be abolished ASAP!
The pardon isn’t the problem, it’s who gets elected. The power of the pardon has existed for a thousand years or so in English Common Law.
Ford was a loyalist who put party over country. We needed a reckoning and that never happened. If it had happened, you’d have found a much different Reagan and Trump presidency.
Fuck no.
Fuck no
No, but they will.
It’s a big club, we ain’t in it, and their class solidarity is absolute.
No.
He won’t live long enough to face consequences. Let him pass in infamy as the most corrupt ever. Let him be featured only in history about how fragile democracy can be.
And dish out justice for his minions and sycophants, everyone who violated the constitution, broke laws or enriched themselves. Especially including his family
