    Kinda funny how when Trump pardons criminals everyone gets mad but here when someone suggests doing the exact same it’s totally fine (because this guy’s on our side…)

      Kinda funny that you can’t distinguish between criminal and hero. You need book to tell you who is bad and who is good

        This is the issue though. You say he’a a hero and the other half of the population say he’s a criminal. What makes you right and them wrong? Or the other way around?

        If he is indeed guilty then that does make him a criminal by definition. As for being a hero, that’s subjective. One can be both a criminal and a hero.

      Pardons haven’t only been issued by Trump. They exist because context and extenuating circumstances are important.

      Just because they can be abused doesn’t mean every pardon is corrupt.
