The problem is not the pardon power. The problem is us. We weren't supposed to elect a crook as POTUS. If we did, the people we elected in Congress are supposed to do something about it. We're idiots, so we've elected crooks & cowards all the way up the line.
The problem is us. We need to fix us.

Giving the president the pardon power was a mistake. The most corrupt president in American history is conducting a jailbreak for his fellow criminals.

Absolutely right. People maybe need to use their imagination to rethink this happening to one 7 year old after another in a small classroom. Or as Kirk said: they are just the good price we pay for unfettered 2A
The horror in that video you saw today has happend to children at Annunciation Church and in Uvalde and in Sandy Hook and countless other schools over the last few decades.
If you’re outraged by the death of Charlie Kirk, you should be equally outraged for them.

This is a much more useful frame for many reasons
For one thing, it does not assume people's actions follow logically or predictably from their beliefs

Change becomes a lot more possible when you reframe it as "How do I get specific people to take a specific action?" instead of "How do I get people to change a belief?"

Words cannot adequately describe what a colossal disappointment our mainstream media has been during our slow descent into authoritarianism.

Two years ago, we invited all 100 senators to work in the fields. Only two of them accepted: Alex Padilla and Cory Booker.

What Trump fears most is the “died”part of this statement. He almost certainly ordered the hit

Exclusive: Hundreds at Alligator Alcatraz have no criminal charges, Miami Herald learns
Descriptions of the Everglades detention center as a place for violent criminals tell only part of the story.

He is very good at keeping his cool. Which is not to say he is careful or deliberate but even in his diminished state he projects the image of control, at least enough to satisfy the casual observer. I have rarely seen him crack like this.

This is The Onion, right? The DOJ is not really actually suing all of the judges in a Federal District?
No way Trump came up with this plan on his own.

We are facing a serious threat to democracy, law, and liberty. The abuse of prosecutorial power to intimidate, investigate, and detain political opponents is upon us. It is a constitutional crisis. I will keep speaking out until public outrage overflows. I just hope it’s not too little, too late.

There’s an alternate universe where Fred Trump hugged his children and a 17yo Stephen Miller got to third base, once, and in THAT reality, President Tim Kaine is in the first term of the most boring administration you could imagine.
