Presidential pardons need to be revoked as corrupt.
KaylRawr
Feel like it should be at least 2 branches of government to over come 1 branch. Hasn't that always been the point of the 3 branches?
Causeitsmadeofmeat
It's actually to keep government from doing anything effective. That's always been the point of a Troika

Trump's pardon prices are falling, he must be getting desperate.

Trump has become today's version of the middle ages Catholic church which would sell dispensations to hard core sinners to assure they'd get into heaven. Only this is worse.

This is basically what Martin Luther posted his 95 theses complaining about, the rich buying off their sins. Skip forward 130ish years and 8 million people were killed because they had a war about it.
cytherians
The Founding Fathers would look at this and basically say, "yes, that is a crime."
FFS...
How the hell... does this get to be permitted. Trump is basically pardoning all the white collar thieves and crooks.
Daliena06
Now now, he's also pardoning drug kingpins. Anyone who's got the cash, he'll happily take it.
cytherians
I bet you anything that every time a pardon takes place, you can see a preliminary spike in his crypto currency. He definitely gets paid for this...

I'd pay him $1M for a pre-emptive pardon for all future crimes.

If he'd also pardon me for previous felonies, I'd just rob a bank on the way...

I like the way you think!

I can think of an extremely ironic way to use that pardon...
RichardPenne
HEY! Fuk outa my head!
Margrave9000
He'd soon start issuing blanket pardons for unspecified crimes. Complete moral insanity.
Blanket pardons are good for one thing and one thing only, ie. to protect people like Dr Fauci or Hunter from fascist witch hunts. That's why a ReoubliKKKan president should never issue one.

Ok, there you have it, you can commit any crime in America for the low low price of 1 million usd. Laws no longer apply to the wealthy, not as a metaphor, but as a demonstrably Truth. Congratulations America, if you have less than a million dollars in your account, you are a slave to those who do.

Only if it was a *federal* crime... 🤦♂️

How to do crime in Trump's America:
1. Steal a LOT of money
2. Keep at least $1m of it for donating to the "get me pardoned" fund and keep the rest.
3. Get pardoned by dear leader.
4. Profit

Lobbyists charge 10% so you actually need an extra 100k$
Autittuderp
*Trump Lobbyists - literally Trump
DrKonrad
To Trump everything is negotiable and everything is a transaction. Want a pardon? You can have it if you pay for it, no question asked. Want a position of power? You can have it if you pay, and if you pledge unfailing loyalty to King Trump. Want to rape kids? It's ok if you can pay for it. I hate so much Trump and everything he represents
Fentex
It's not unamerican to put a price on everything.

Why isn’t a state charge?
Daliena06
Complicated. Basically, there were state *and* federal charges. Feds first - basically, he cheated the IRS. Collected money from employee paychecks that was *meant* to go towards taxes, but then kept it all for himself, as well as fucking with his employees' benefit plans and refusing to report it to the IRS.
State charges were also placed but he was immediately pardoned by the State of Arkansas. He also sold off everything he owned in the state so civil suits couldn't claw anything from him
Daliena06
Oh, and he actually stole *39 million dollars* in unpaid taxes, as well as got several people killed with his drive to cut costs and fuck the quality of health care provided by his nursing homes. 5 mil is just what he repaid to the IRS, and along with the million dollar bribe to Dump, he still came out a cool 33 mil ahead.
lightfoot2
Sure. A million seems to be the going rate for a pardon.
slamEVIL
It's literally the going rate for a trump pardon
1stDrunkJoe
It's even worse than OP says. This guy took money to take care of Grandma and left her to rot, stole money his employees thought was paying health insurance premiums, and defrauded Medicare and the IRS. Worse yet, they haven't found most of his hoard of ill-gotten gains owed to his victims and us tax payers and now we probably never will. https://www.propublica.org/article/joseph-schwartz-trump-pardon-skyline-nursing-home-patients
VikingsAreNinjaPirates
Remember, if you need a million dollars, just steal 2 million so you can stay out of jail.
cowgoesmoo1
Just make sure that your theft is a Federal crime and not a state/local one.
azgrak1
I wish the headline let everyone know that now that he’s pardoned he doesn’t have to pay back what he stole.

Yep. Perfect grift

They're transactional. He isn't reading details of who he's pardoning and for what crimes.
Toqom
We'll be able to undo all his pardons as he used it like a pay for service.
lightfoot2
Good news is they continue to commit crimes.
meganical
Depends, if it’s anyone Trump dislikes, it’s probably a free pardon
sharK11
does Trump dislike himself
CALAMOSCOPYJANE
Intensely so.
meganical
Clearly, the next president with a shred of conscience should set a limit on presidential pardons because this asshat is unhinged. Also, you didn’t think it would need a requirement that the president shouldn’t benefit financially from his decision to pardon but here we are, living in a country run by the most corrupt government officials ever
lostkittenmk3
For me. It's the fact they don't even try and hide their corruption. They openly flaunt it. Pretty much saying "Haha there's nothing anyone can do about it".
Daliena06
sfrinlan
Well, anything the president can put a limit on, the president can also remove the limit from. We need a lot of constitutional amendments the next time we have a functioning government, assuming the country survives this
Fentex
The government doesn't make Constitutional Amednments - Citizens need to tell it what THEIR Constitution is, so get onto changing it.

Presidental pardons are jokes
PunnyTiger
they were meant to be a last ditch chance for justice when the letter of the law failed the spirit of the law. now they're for sale, so it's impossible for the rich to be punished until people of the united states take up arms as per the second amendment and remove a terrorist who is disqualified from the office of president by the 14th and 25 amendments. france will show you how to make guillotines and protest in a way that actually gets results
huffnpuff72
If they weren't a joke, they certainly are now
Swordguy
Wait for the pre-emptive "blank check" presidential pardon which covers anyone who shoots a registered Democrat. After all, a president's pardon power is unlimited and SCOTUS said that nothing the President can do is illegal, so why *wouldn't* he try it?
noWhiteHorseHereJustBatturuPrinsu
They sure turn the justice system into one big joke
MrsHowVeryDareYou
I feel like they should get one(1). Save it for something REALLY important. And then maybe they can get a few more, but Congress has to agree or SCOTUS has the right to veto.
Rhythmaster
The pardon power is insane, pardon power + presidential immunity means you have a king and the king's entire court above the law. Anyone he wants to pardon at any time during his reign can commit any federal crimes they want and get away with it??? Insane. Any restrictions on the pardon power would be great, or better yet, abolish it.
Daliena06
Also please write it into actual law instead of an unwritten "gentleman's agreement" that a president can't pardon themselves.
tinydog
The president is a joke.
EricAirheart
I can not agree with you more.
Rhythmaster
I don't really think you have a president right now. You have an empty vessel for oligarchs interests. Powerful elites have always influenced the president, but this guy is so weak stupid and easily manipulated it's orders of magnitude worse. When Trump does chaotic or contradictory moves, that's because different oligarchs with different interests are playing him at different times...

Or that crackhead Laura Loomer posted some bullshit, so he invades Minnesota and murders some people.

Sort of. It's widely believed that he and Musk rigged the election results.

That doesn't change the fact that millions of people happily lined up to vote for him. Even if the election was stolen, that does not absolve MAGA.
