So Trump is claiming that subsequent presidents can void the pardons of the previous ones? That should be of great interest to staff of the current administration who are breaking laws, and think they are safe from prosecution.

Blanket pardons are a horrible precedent, because Trump will do it 10 times as much to allow awful behavior from his new appointees. But if Biden did it surgically, for example “since Trump said on July 2nd Liz Chaney should face a military tribunal, therefore she gets a pardon” it would be better.

Kash Patel is a low life bully. I’m dying to see your attorney’s reply! Please make it a smash down and in public.

The purpose of pardons is to curb inflexible or malign persecution. Biden is completely right to pardon Hunter. His IRS issue was illegal, but he has already paid the back taxes and plead guilty. The gun charge also would have been settled with a deal if he was anyone but the president’s son.

Art posted this same tweet on twitter where it has 1,000 likes and here it has 10,000 likes. Is it Elon’s thumb-on-the-scale algorithm, or have all the sane people moved here?

Most endowments are tied up in “directed donations” that can only be spent for specific purposes, like soccer programs, or Greek studies. The unrestricted endowment funds that can be spent on anything, like free tuition, are much more limited. So only the very highly endowed schools can do this.
