James M Branum - יעקב מתתיהו ☮<p>I am deeply relieved that <a href="https://c.im/tags/Biden" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Biden</span></a> changed his mind and pardoned <a href="https://c.im/tags/HunterBiden" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>HunterBiden</span></a>. </p><p>But in light of the fascist coming to office in January, he needs to do many more pardons, such as:</p><p>1. Pardoning all members of the US <a href="https://c.im/tags/Military" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Military</span></a> who committed absence offenses (<a href="https://c.im/tags/AWOL" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AWOL</span></a>, desertion, missing movement, etc.) during the years of the wars in <a href="https://c.im/tags/Iraq" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Iraq</span></a> and <a href="https://c.im/tags/Afghanistan" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Afghanistan</span></a> </p><p>2.

Pardoning all senior members of his administration (including the Vice President) of any "crimes" related to their official duties (using the logic of SCOTUS)</p><p>After that, I recommend that he himself resign from office, making <a href="https://c.im/tags/KamalaHarris" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>KamalaHarris</span></a> our first female US President. And of course, she can then pardon Joe Biden.</p><p>I hate that this #3 is necessary, but that is the world we live in under the Trump <a href="https://c.im/tags/SupremeCourt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SupremeCourt</span></a>. Until the rules are changed, progressives should not hold back any metaphorical punches.</p>
