      I can’t imagine a democratic president pardoning someone for burning buildings.

      I can’t imagine a republican president pardoning someone for building republican buildings.

      Probably not going to happen.

        Imagine, if you will, a Republican President pardoning an armed mob that violently took over the Capital resulting in several deaths, both on that day and in the immediate aftermath.

        If he can pull that shit, a Dem should have no problem with a little non violent property damage.

          It’s the problem with the whole high ground approach.

          The republicans don’t need to have any moral values. But as soon as the democrats drop down to their level, republicans WILL start throwing shit at them.
