Among the myriad things this country needs, one of them is a constitutional amendment to limit the presidential pardon power.

Winner Take All is what people hate about the electoral college. But the EC is outdated. It was created by and for landowners when our population was small and communication challenging. the landownership requirement to vote wasn't abolished until 1856.

I am not convinced about multiple parties unless we have a parliamentary system. I want no parties. Reduce the cost of campaigning and you don't need parties. Right now we have "I will never vote for X party" voters. We won't get anywhere. All candidates need to be independent so we can start over.

Their hypocrisy has no limits. Their so-called rationale for actions are complete b.s. It is so tiresome. Especially because they are not ridiculed for their absurdities. When their statements and non-answers are reported it gives them legitimacy they don't deserve. They need to be shunned.

I hope they can sue.

Yes. Complete lack of empathy. People are expendible to him. And the hypocrisy of saying "criminals." Dangerous criminals are exactly who ICE is not going after. And actual criminals Trump pardons. This is all so sickening.

Yes! All interviews and press conferences should stop. There is no point.

OMG. I was wondering what he was referencing. That is frighteningly ignorant.

Proportional ranked choice voting for Congressional representation to eliminate gerrymandering and give more voters a voice.

Supreme Court Justice term limits. Move Justice Department from under Executive Branch.

Prohibit Winner-take-all. Require ranked choice voting. Eliminate party-based primary elections. End televised campaign ads. Reverse Citizens United. End/Reform televised Presidential Debates. Define & limit role of the President. Delineate minimal qualifications for Executive branch Secretaries.

That sums it up.

The audacity of the administration to accuse unarmed protesters of threatening officers with physical harm when Trump pardoned violent Jan 6 insurrectionists who *actually* injured capital police officers. I bet many of those "federal officers" are in fact pardoned Jan 6 rioters. Blatant hypocrocy.

Despicable.

Horrifying. Realizing the level of evil in the world is devastating. I struggle not to succumb to despair regarding humankind.

Yes, it was considered unseemly. I was pretty bitter about how Dean was treated. Now I watch while Trump dishonors the Office of the President with his disgusting and depraved behavior and gets a pass.
