    If convicted, he will get pardoned by the fucking monsters in the white house.

        The trajectory that we are on now is certainly not based on precedent.

          By that logic someone could say numbers in the House and Senate don’t matter either.

          We don’t punt fights.

          Doesn’t matter if we win or lose, we fight every fight.

          Bare minimum we’re keeping the clock running.

            What the fuck are you talking about. We’re talking about a president pardoning people. Fucks sake. I’m not saying anything about giving up or throwing in the towel. JFC.

              You’re saying to accept that he can do things he can’t, and to let those things happen.

              That snowballs.

              It might not seem to be a big deal to you, but it sounds like you don’t want the “why” explained.

              Want to just take my word on it instead? I’m watching Bernie’s townhall right now.

                I’m just saying what will happen as effect. I’ve had a long day and you’re just making it longer with this nonsense.

                  It’s not nonsense.

                  This wouldn’t be prosecuted by a US attorney, trump can not issue a pardon.

                  Those are facts and facts matter.

                  If you’ve had a long day I’m almost positive no one has forced you to make a single comment anywhere online…

                  You can just stop replying bro, no one will judge you for that, at least 50% in every single exchange does it. I don’t think anyone is going to be upset with less defeatist comments online these days either.

    DC police are federal, i think, so you can see how this ends

      Briefly looking at the wiki article, it looks like it’s more complicated than that. The president does have pardon power there, but not all crime in DC is a federal crime. There’s a lot of fiddly bits where for many purposes DC acts like a state as well as a city.

        what’s the broader context?

        He brutalized a sex worker?

          He brutalized a person.

          That’s the context.

          What is wrong with you?
