Biden pre-pardons opens the door for all future presidential regimes to offer pre-paid pardons to anyone in their administration since he set the precedent. Should come up with a catchy name like the Biden-blanket. He does seem more like a quilt guy but does not rhyme.

it opened no such door,   it was already open.  learn basic us history

The most famous pardon in history was a "pre pardon".  These aren't new.

And as if Trump needed someone to open a door for his fat ass to do something unprecedented.

Watching you be a hypocrite and also moving goalposts and also denying basic US history is riveting stuff.

At this scale, it's definitely new.  It's bull**** he did it, but at the same time, bull**** he was essentially forced to do it.  Trump and even folks he put up for cabinet spots have threatened to go after these people and refuse to address the fact there is no public evidence to even suggest his claims.

And note, when I say no public evidence, i'm referring to everyone he gave pre-pardons to minus Hunter and the brother.  They definitely did shady stuff outside of the illegal stuff Hunter actually did.

The first-ever act of presidential forgiveness came in the wake of an armed rebellion. Fed up with a costly federal tax on distilled spirits, in 1794 a group of whiskey-producing Pennsylvania farmers took to the streets and burned the home of a local tax inspector. The attack came on the heels of several other protests and many politicians—most notably Secretary Alexander Hamilton—argued that it threatened the stability of the newly formed United States.

Faced with the possibility of a widespread uprising, President George Washington reluctantly marched a 13,000-strong militia into western Pennsylvania to quell the rebellion. Some 20 members of the mob were arrested, and two were convicted of treason and sentenced to death by hanging. Desperate to avoid further discontent, Washington chose to pardon both men in July 1795.

– Gas prices crept higher again overnight, partly due to fears about U.S. tariffs.
– Egg prices hit $4.15/dozen, the highest in a year.
– In some parts of the US, eggs are $7 a dozen.

Funny, I don't recall Trump mentioning any of this this week. https://www.today.com/video/the-cost-of-eggs-is-skyrocketing-what-s-being-done-about-it-230051909562

We agree on this....

If you know your family is going to be targeted by crazy people who will be in power and they will have to spend money on lawyers, etc. and you had the ability to put an end to it.... you would do it.  I would do it.

What's unprecedented is the direct threats and targeting of a political rivals family with zero evidence to support it.  He was put in that position.  

if a guy is standing in front of me and threatening to kill me and I finally punch him in the face, am I wrong for punching him in the face or do I have to wait until he makes a move?

Another earnest question: how does rescinding employment to medical professionals help improve the VA or "Make America Great Again" more broadly?
