How long have we been in these "days," would you say?
- jedberg 7y agoSince the Senate voted, so about a week?
- banads 7y agoIf you think this is something new, please read some history: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Federal_pardons_in_the_United_States#Controversies https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Federal_pardons_in_the_Unite...
- jedberg 7y agoI’m well aware of the history. What’s new is the President’s newfound knowledge that his corruption has no consequences.
- banads 7y agoIf you think that's new, you're obviously not aware of the history. How would you compare and contrast the corruption and lack of consequences of say, the Iran Contra conspiracy, to Trumps scandals? Just to throw you a bone, you'll notice that AG Barr was involved in the pardons resulting from the Iran Contra affair as well.
- jedberg 7y agoThis President just learned he is immune to consequence. He’s not familiar with history.
