Can the president do that? Should he?

  • Summary

  • This week, President Donald Trump got right to business on Inauguration Day, following several additional speaking engagements. He signed executive orders and pardoned over 1,500 people charged with crimes relating to the January 6th insurrection. The use of pardons by Trump on his way in — and Joe Biden on his way out — have raised questions about its potential abuse. Could this set a dangerous precedent?

    Trump has moved to end birthright citizenship in the U.S., though attorneys general nationwide are challenging it in court. While it may not be legal now, is there a path for Trump or Congress to change America’s approach to citizenship? Is there a better way to discuss policy around immigration?

    A reverend’s plea for mercy at the National Prayer Service drew the ire of Trump. Did the reverend politicize the pulpit? Plus, our LRC panel discusses what mercy could look like from the White House.

Sara typical childish republican

Sara behaves like a child, just like her dear orange petulant child cult leader. Act like an adult RevBudde asks for mercy on behalf of THOSE SCARED ! bc your party doesn’t want their existence! And you can’t take being shown a mirror bc your side is so full of hate. And you can’t have an adult conversation bc of “the left”?!?! Just like your fuhror can’t take any responsibility and blames everyone else! And Mo how about growing a spine and call her out on her BS! Quit acting like it’s normal bc it’s NOT! His actions are fascist, his words are racist, WHEN IS SOMEBODY GOING TO CALL HIM WHAT HE IS ???
