    As someone pointed out to me, it’s federal crimes.

    So if he asks you to do something that he’s shielded from, but is a state crime, youre SOL

      Murder is generally a state offense, but since D.C. is a Federal district, I’m pretty sure murders that occur there would be pardonable.

        Sincerely Trump

          I think you lost the discussion thread a little bit. We’re talking about what Biden could do about the corrupt Supreme Court justices. They’re definitely in D.C. already.

            Not really.

            Pardons come up, I mention federal only, you mention murder, and then I make a joke about it.

            You think Biden is gonna murder someone?

              You think Biden is gonna murder someone?

              LOL, no.

              But I do think that the fascist SCOTUS judges just gave him that power, and that Biden demonstrating just how terrible a power it is by using it to get rid of them might be the only way to get the decisions overturned and stop the US from becoming a dictatorship.
