Trump's pardons were shameful. Mostly black drug dealers and Wall Street swindlers.

No pardon for Snowden or Assange who did more to expose the Deep State than anyone.

Do you think that pardoning Assange or Snowden would have protected them from what the Deep State wants to do to them?

> Trump’s pardons were shameful. <

That’s true of many presidential pardons. And I think it illustrates a flaw in the thinking of the Founders. They fought to remove a king. Then they gave the president an absolute, king-like pardon power.

There are no checks and balances like with other powers. Perhaps a pardon should be treated like a presidential veto. It can be overridden by a 2/3 vote in both Houses of Congress.

If I ever invent a time machine, I’m going to mention this to Washington, Franklin, and the rest of the boys.

In order to be PARDONED, YOU MUST ADMIT AND ACCEPT GUILT!
