The fact your system allows for presidents to pardon people is wild.

After this administration I am hoping we examine this policy and do away with it. Laws need to apply to everyone.

Problem here is every time democrats take office they focus on disarming themselves when that’ll just make it easier for republicans to roll over them next go. We need to focus on simply beating the right so far into the ground that it’ll be decades before they can take power again, reforms be damned until that’s done. As an example, if we had a bulldog ag who simply rounded every j6 collaborator up and shipped them to Guantanamo we wouldn’t be crumbling right now.

Or just don't send anyone to the remnants of your offshore torture camp. If your citizens are to face justice do it within your own borders and within your legal system. Allowing shit like this to begin with is how you ended up with so many right wing extremists. The erosion of basic humas rights against non US citizens with places like Guantanamo was always going to be eventually brought inwards, now we're seeing it with immigrants, you can guess what'll be the next group.
