Foolish people are still enough of a scream machine in media to minimize the work (as they always do when it's Democratic governance) and maximize Democratic differences/imperfections as illegitimate, or tyranny, terrorism, etc.

There is no reason that Biden can't undo damage while our DOJ also charges a treasonous act of harm with nullifying an international treaty. No pardons should be allowed to stop documented, evidence based charges. Real documented proof of real harm exists, such that pardons should no longer have the power to nullify.

All my silly "shoulds" aside, who's to say that, after the date of the pardon, Trump's leveraging of classified info won't be further legitimate bases of DOJ charges. My bet is that he continues to commit federal crimes after his pardon.

What do you mean by 78% and 22%? I'm looking at 51% and 47%. lagomorph777 Nov 2020 #7
those claims made my head spin too, like where did those numbers come from? beachbumbob Nov 2020 #9
Probably including Turin_C3PO Nov 2020 #10
Yes, it does. ancianita Nov 2020 #12
They come from the 79,921,082 Democrats who are 51.0% of the total votes, and because of that, ancianita Nov 2020 #19
Okay. My frame is the general population of America and not just the electorate. ancianita Nov 2020 #11
you are way too optimistic on the orientation of the non-voting American public beachbumbob Nov 2020 #16
Nope, you're way too pessimistic, stuck in the doubt zone. Count new voters. ancianita Nov 2020 #17
I am realist, otherwise how do explain the sweeping losses of democrats in senate and beachbumbob Nov 2020 #22
Me, too. What you call realism, I add a pessimistic optimism to. ancianita Nov 2020 #26
