What should happen is that they should have Trump arrested, put before numerous courts including the ICC, have all the wealth he accumulated during his Presidency confiscated and him thrown in jail.
What will happen is he’ll get a pardon.

Man I don’t even give a damn anymore. This is what its always been they used to just keep appearances up. It’s a circus of our suffering for the aristocracy.
Fuck Trump. Fuck the next president too. Fuck them all. None of them give a fuck about us or our children.
We should start over.

Should they or would they? Should they? Of course not. Will they ? Of course because no POTUS wants to set precedent of accountability.
It’s like that thing in the drive thru, where the person in the car ahead paid for your coffee. The President pardons the president behind him so the next president can pardon him.

If he is pardoned, we will get Nixon 3.0 but somehow dumber and more corrupt.
Is there a chance the next president of the US be neither republican nor democrat (for the parties labels)?

Hard to pardon someone who hasn’t like…been sentenced or impeached yet. For some reason.
except that is literally what Ford did to Nixon, and pardons aren’t a thing for impeachment anyway (for US federal offenses)

I do think you have to admit to the crime tho. I could be wrong but accepting a pardon means you agree you were guilty I believe.
You don’t have to actively admit to it, though you are right that something like this was held here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burdick_v._United_States

Interesting. So you don’t have to admit it but if you accept the pardon you are essentially guilty.
“implicit admission of guilt” it says.
I would assume that means that media could say you are guilty and you couldn’t sue them for slander. Like you don’t have to say you are guilty but you cant claim you are innocent… well you can claim anything I guess but yeah people could safely call you guilty at that point.

You should drop him into Iran to face punishment from the Iranian families whose children he bombed at school.

I’m sure of only one thing, the rest of the world won’t pardon you so easily you fucktards
NO. Pardons shouldn’t cover unrepentant criminals who know what they’re doing.
