History lesson from Aunt Marianne here: After Watergate Pres. Ford pardoned Nixon…but Nixon’s lawyer went to jail, 2 of his top aides went to jail & his AG went to jail. Just in case you were thinking there’s a precedent for letting people in the WH off the hook for their crimes

Eulogy: "You are fettered," said Scrooge, trembling. "Tell me why?" "I wear the chain I forged in life," replied the Ghost. "I made it link by link, and yard by yard; I girded it on of my own free will, and of my own free will I wore it." Charles Dickens, A Christmas Carol

I didn’t know this. Great way to avoid political issues yet discourage future actors from participating in shenanigans.

Bookmarked for when you'll be eating those words, Marianne. Don't you ever get tired of being naive ad nauseum?

yet we know Biden will do it. Gotta have that bipartisan unity so you can fuck over poor people and minorities and make it look like your hands are tied
