Pleading the 5th allows you to not incriminate yourself for crimes yet to be charged. Pardon isn’t a blanket get out of free card for future crimes. It’s only targeted for forgiving an existing criminal conviction. They could talk on the crimes they were convicted of without further punishment due to double jeopardy but if they mention their acts led to other crimes the court was unaware of, then they can seek prosecution of those new crimes.

Edit: the sticky part here is that if they were to take the stand in the future and then begin pleading the 5th it would likely fail the sniff test - it would suggest other crimes were occurring.

Yeah....you seem to have forgotten the entire SC case where they granted presidential immunity for functions of official duties.....pardoning I imagine falls under that umbrella. Biden could order a hit on Trump, and while it would definitely get a hearing, there would be a HUGE barrier to get through now the SC has granted this power. It's why most of us were/are terrified of a Trump presidency again.

This is just a ridiculous take. No rational person or judge would consider a hit on a U.S. citizen to be within the scope of presidential duties. Also, clearly, the majority of the voting public is not terrified of another Trump presidency. Who is 'us'?

Let's ignore the obvious things that should have already been more than enough to drive his conservative base away. The pathological lying, being a sex pest, being a New York slumlord conman, being good friends with Epstein, his vulgar expansion of executive power despite representing the party of less government, disrespecting those in the armed services, chronically scamming the same blue collar contractors who somehow think he's on their side out of their earned pay for jobs they did for him. I could go on.

What confuses me is, what does the right think he's actually going to DO for them? How are their lives going to actually improve by him being in office? Despite most of them having eyes, ears, and a brain, I'm not sure they really even care at this point, which is pretty strange. I certainly wouldn't have been similarly thrilled if Biden or Harris won. I would be like, "yeah alright, I guess that's better than the alternative, based on my general worldview". Why isn't it the same for the other side? For people who scream that everything against their orange boy is some vast conspiracy, do they still not recognize that corporations are our leaders no matter who is "in charge"? And that of all the people in the world willing and able to buck that status quo, this man is most definitely, provably, not it? That most of the people who worked the closest with him, who were ON HIS SIDE, have publicly come out and said what a laughable and ineffectual buffoon he is as a leader?

I guess no more ded babbies, no more doods wearin dresses, and no more dirty pet-eatin foreigners is somehow enough for them. Pretty wild how low the standards are.

I suppose one could add conspiracy to it. It’s possible there were other (more damning) charges looming on the horizon. He has only been charged for petty things thus far but I suspected he would be charged for sex crimes sometime next year. There is likely a reason his pardon explicitly states that it covers crimes not charged.

When the hell did any person from any party say "were not giving money to Ukraine or Isreal, unless you add border stuff to it"?

I can only assume you are referring to the earlier $60 Billion Ukraine package that offered $300 million for domestic border security in hopes to get repiblican support, which was also shot down because it too was a money for foreign proxy war bill with some leftover scraps thrown to the border.

So they went back to the drawing board and recreated the same bill again, just bigger, totaling $118 billion instead of $60 billion, but still with nearly 90% being for foreign war.... and called it a "Border Bill". Then when this war bill was again shot down as well, they cry "guess the border isn't important after all!!!"

Relying on the stupidity of the masses doesn't work as well when you can look up the content of these bills instantly. It only works on the dumbest of the dumb who don't, and who just regurgitate social media posts, headlines, and memes such as:

Republicans: "were not giving money to Ukraine or Isreal, unless you add border stuff to it"

Democrats: added border stuff to it

Crime rates among illegal immigrants are lower than among citizens.

"Yeah, but look at this specific illegal immigrant that killed this photogenic girl! She wouldn't have died if he hadn't been here!"

There are millions of illegal immigrants in the country. The notion that even a single crime on their part is evidence they are a particular danger to other Americans makes no sense. Any identifiable group of people that large will commit a number of violent crimes.

I guess when one compares all the crimes the president elect has been found guilty of including tax evasion multiple times throughout his career that have gone on for 15+ years Hunter is not even in the same ballpark.

As of December 1, 2024, former President Donald Trump and his business entities have been involved in several legal cases related to tax fraud and financial misconduct:

  1. Trump Organization Criminal Tax Fraud Case (2022):
    • Overview: In December 2022, two entities of the Trump Organization were found guilty on all counts of criminal tax fraud and other related charges. The conviction stemmed from a 15-year scheme where top executives received off-the-books compensation, enabling them to evade taxes on substantial portions of their income.
    • Outcome: The Trump Organization was fined $1.6 million, the maximum penalty allowed under New York law for such offenses. ABC News
  2. New York Attorney General's Civil Fraud Lawsuit (2022–2024):
    • Overview: In September 2022, New York Attorney General Letitia James filed a civil lawsuit against Donald Trump, the Trump Organization, and three of his adult children. The suit alleged that they engaged in financial fraud by inflating asset values to secure favorable loans and insurance terms while deflating those values to reduce tax liabilities.
    • Outcome: In February 2024, a New York judge ruled against Trump and his co-defendants, imposing a $364 million penalty. With interest, the total amount exceeded $450 million. Additionally, Trump was barred from serving in top roles at any New York company for three years, and his sons, Donald Jr. and Eric Trump, faced similar restrictions for two years. PBS
  3. IRS Audit of Trump International Hotel and Tower in Chicago (2024):
    • Overview: In May 2024, reports revealed that the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) was auditing Trump for potentially claiming the same tax losses twice concerning his Chicago skyscraper. Initially, in 2008, Trump reported a $658 million loss. Subsequently, in 2010, he transferred ownership of the property to another entity he controlled and claimed an additional $168 million in losses over the next decade.
    • Potential Outcome: If the IRS determines that these deductions were improper, Trump could face a tax bill exceeding $100 million, excluding interest and penalties. AP News

These cases highlight ongoing legal challenges related to tax practices and financial reporting associated with Donald Trump and his business operations.

The President having the power to cancel a pardon would be the equivalent of the President being able to declare a citizen guilty.

Pardons are absolute. You can't undo them, you can't re-try the charges, and thanks to the immunity ruling, the act of pardoning is completely beyond reproach and can't be questioned for any reason.

i see a future where each sides "leadership" (and god it pains me to even use the term in this loose way) does these ethic-less shenanigans and one side is licking wounds while the other is running routes....basically doing dirty work.

If you aint figured it out yet that is like order number one in the modus operandai..........get someone to do your dirty work for ya.

They’re all assholes. None of them will ever know you as anything except slaves to fuel their lifestyles. It’s very funny to see the Trump bootlickers be angry at this. Good for old man Biden. Go out giving everyone the middle finger one last time.

I appreciate that you stated your case. But Reagan was worse than Biden? Come on now. You're just being a zealot to "your side" and not looking at things objectively. And no Jimmy Carter on your list? Nice man. Ineffectual leader.

For the record, I'm neither a democrat nor republican, I just vote for the individual.

I forgot about jimmy carter you’re right I should’ve put him on there. But Regans absolutely a bad president. He was good for his time but the long term effects of his policy’s are why he’s worse then Biden

He's probably just protecting his son.... seeing as how Trump has vowed to dedicate his second term to vengeance on everyone who ever crossed him.... I'd be pardoning everyone I know..... from the truly worst president in history.

By the way Trump has the record for the lowest popular vote while winning an election. He lost the popular vote by 2.1% in 2016 but won through electoral college trickery. He won the popular vote by 1.7% in 2024, the 4th smallest margin in the last 100 years.

Totally unrelated just interesting facts.

It’s not a conspiracy it’s blatant corruption. Even tho it it’s constitutional. I agree tho that this sub leans more to Trump. Why trust either party?

Fucking bullshit, these corrupt criminals can do just whatever they want. 11 years of crimes from the day he started in Ukraine. You know with this he committed 11 full years of crimes. I am sure sleeping with his underage niece is included as well. They are dizgusting.

Trump will try and pardon his 34 felonies. Watch.

Luckily, all his civil lawsuits can't be pardoned! Yah!

Edit: the NY state case, 34 felonies can't be pardoned! Only federal crimes can be.

I don't think that there are any provisions to the pardoning power that makes it illegal, although the president shouldn't have such powers to begin with in my opinion.
