Was thinking more modern times. Could add the Chinese internment camps & Vietnam in the mix.

Slavery is a worldwide all-time feckup and has existed since man first formed tribes. :(
Chinese or Japanese? Although the conditions the west coast workers (almost all Chinese) lives in while building the railroad were horrific.

Pardon should be merited for extremely special case. Where one commits moral crime to safe many lives. It shouldnt be distributed perpay basis.
Can’t they shut the pardons down?
There needs to be some accountability and process to it, beyond the shit show it has become. Bill Clinton abused it too so it’s not just an anti trump thing for me.

The concept itself is flawed. It's basically preference.

I can accept it for some extreme cases but it is still meddling with justice system.

If someone is innocent he shouldn't get a pardon. He should be absolved. If its a pardon it means he's guilty

I dont think he'll be able to pardon himself. It would in essence allow a President to perform any act he wanted while president with zero ramifications. Would (imo) surely go against the constitution and the powers deferred to the president for pardons.

Pence isn’t going to put his neck on the line for Trump at this point.

Mike aint gonna pardon him.

I’m not so sure. If he’s running in 4 years he’s going to need that 32% of the vote and he will dress it up as “drawing a line under it and helping the country to move on and heal”.

Who is this Mike that has a power of pardon and what does he have to do with Biden getting re-elected? I’m so confused.
Mike Pence the VP. Religious dude who calls his wife his mother and cannot be alone with another female.

If Trump resigned he would be 46th for a day With the power of pardoning Trumpy.

If he runs he’ll just embarrass himself, and that would have been the same even before Trump threw him under the bus. Pence wasn’t even likely to win his gubernatorial race before Trump plucked him out of obscurity.

The man has no charisma, is a religious extremist in a shockingly boring way, and doesn’t really appeal to anyone outside the evangelicals. Some Trumplet like Jr or Hawley will smash past him with the Trump base, and someone moderate with a lot more charm will beat him the other way. He should just retire and write excruciatingly dull books and give tediously dry speeches.
