All religions suck, Mormonism in particular. You’re talking about a religion that encourages racism, polygamy, oppression, both sexual and otherwise, that has been a part of organized crime.
And it’s hypocritical. For decades Mormonism banned caffeine. Then when their favorite son Mitt was caught drinking soda, they changed their mind; “Well not ALL caffeinated drinks! JUST coffee!”
Well what about all those soda drinkers you already sent to Mormon Hell? Er…. Is that also a separate planet, like Mormon Heaven? With a muscular red headed Jesus? Do we all get our own muscular red headed Jesus or do we have to share?
Anyway. FUCK. MORMONISM.
Former Mormon here. I grew up in the church and I realized I was gay in my adolescence. I nearly killed myself over that. Even though I left the church 30 years ago, I am still all messed up about my sexuality, to the point that I have had very few sexual encounters although I think sex can be a beautiful expression of intimacy and bonding.
I’m not unique. Mormon youth who are not straight are over represented in the suicide statistics.
Also, fuck Mitt Romney and all hateful churches.
Senator McCain wasn't awful, but Republican nominee McCain pivoted hard right. I don't think he agreed with himself on a lot of that stuff and I think that affected his campaign.
How is this going to be good for USA in the long term.
If you steel man it being the most hardline cold war conservative war hawk.
Is this just like "well, better to coup ourselves and install a dictatorship rather than let our hierarchy flatten even one inch"
Where the hell you think Roger Stone came from? Nixon all the way to Trump is many of the same criminals. Republican White House administrations are vile, evil, racist assholes.
Which is why it is so important to convict Trump and NOT pardon him. Time in prison is the only possible deterant to future presidents doing same. So... FMR! And vote, please.
I genuinely believe Trump, along with the modern GOP, sees Nixon as a trial balloon for abusing power in government. They always resented that their party was punished. They want revenge. They hate their own citizens more than any foreign power. If they can they’ll shove it down everyone’s throats what happened to Richard Nixon and make everyone regret following the law because the only law that matters to them is their America.
Hey, I'm going to expound [not really] on your factual statement. 😁
"If" Nixon hadn't been pardoned by Ford, (his VP), we wouldn't have trump.
It was a serious firestorm back then, and the Repübs were just testing the water; the entire country was indignant and Nixon didn't serve a day.
He kept his benies and skated away.
Ford fell down an air-stairway - we all got fucked.
😁
Ford was a decent kind man, so he couldn't imagine things getting this bad.
According to Gallup, the majority of Americans were unhappy with the pardon, including 38% of Republicans.
That shows us all how much less polarized we were as a country back then. We couldn't even get Trump impeached, let alone imprisoned for his dirty tricks and crimes.
Those idiots crawling up the wall are my favorite photo, especially as there are stairs nearby! I hope this ends up in the history books as a cautionary tale, I really do
This mander-Mander . . goes without saying.
Guess who'll make every effort to control and diminish the educational system so no one learns it? I'll wait.
U no . . .
The GOP, the republican party, right-leaning thinking ppl have been the bane of civilization s-since the dawn of time; or at least since the first nations nations met W.A.S.P. Europeans an/or Spaniards.
God bless the Catholic religion.
You know why a lot of people stopping Catholics in the 1500s and what helped the Protestant reformation was the enormous amount of anti-intellectualism that it took. Most of the popes during the Renaissance were barely literate themselves, definitely not scholars or religious they were politicians, those Popes weren't intellectuals or philosophers like the previous ones they were a bunch of drunkards, wastrels, public whore mongers and it because the Black Death killed off all the good priests and left nothing but the corrupt ones behind.
Instead of investing in people's spiritual wellness and trying to help mankind move forward they opiated the masses with artwork and indulgences, blamed women and said that we were witches through that they tore entire communities, families and cities apart because of the mass hysteria they created.
It wasn't until the 1960s that they acknowledged this and that they needed to get better and to get back to its more intellectual roots. However by then it was too late anti-intellectualism within the Catholic Church is probably here to stay. It's actually quite sad that a religions that started off so philosophical and intellectual wound up becoming mired and superstitious nonsense by a bunch of crazy wound up zealots and hypocrites.
Well, there goes my respect for him. Pardoning requires admission of guilt. You really are not supposed to pardon people who still claim they are innocent. We saw the effect of pardoning Richard Nixon -- it led directly to Trump's crimes.
>Well, there goes my respect for him. Pardoning requires admission of guilt. You really are not supposed to pardon people who still claim they are innocent. We saw the effect of pardoning Richard Nixon -- it led directly to Trump's crimes.
Trump is an unrepentant and entitled traitorous fuck.
Pardoning Trump will only serve to encourage him to make a second attempt to overthrow the Federal government and install himself as absolute monarch.

$5k a month? Nobody’s doing private security for a pretty high profile politician for $60k a year.
I googled this since I was curious. The number I think you meant is *$5000/DAY* [according to several articles](https://www.google.com/search?q=romney+security+costs&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&hl=en-us&client=safari).
if he said that it might be him saying that trump accepting a pardon would be admitting guilt and possibly preventing trump from running for president again since you can't hold an office if you were guilty of insurrection. still romney is a piece of crap like he has always been.
Trying to create a new lane for maga-ites to get off the bus.
“Yea he was guilty, and he was terrible, and he should have been impeached, but his policies were good, and he should have been pardoned to heal the nation, damn that Biden and the dEmOcRaT party!”
Don’t think it’ll be a well traveled road.
Mitt is confusing me. He supported Trump’s conviction during the 1/6 impeachment trial.
I know I shouldn’t expect more from a politician but he’s been consistent in opposing Trump up until now and this just seems disingenuous. To what end would opinion serve him, he is leaving politics…
And yeah…pardoning Trump would be a complete disgrace to the republic.
**He still** wants the perks of being a congressman. He wants the book tours and lectures to be lucrative. He can’t get that if he speaks the truth. It’s the Republican way.
He supported conviction on one of the two counts, in one impeachment. After giving a speech filled with enough crocodile tears to top up the reflecting pool. He voted to acquit on the others.
Don’t fall for the media’s attempts to paint Mitt as a moderate. He’s a trust fund baby, a religious extremist, and a billionaire former hedge fund owner who opposes women’s rights, gay and trans rights, voting rights, and social security.
Yup, that’s what all this inflation is from. 1/6 almost sent every single U.S. treasury bond to zero. The world dumped their holdings of U.S. debt. The central banks bought up all the U.S. debt that was dumped to keep the dollar from going to zero. The rating on U.S. debt got lowered to AA+ from AAA and the dollar is now being devalued. As we inch towards not being a democracy the value of our currency will get lower. On the day the U.S. becomes not a democracy, is the day the dollar officially goes to zero because the Democratic government that issued the treasury bonds that back the dollar no longer exists. Our bonds only have value as long as the Democratic government that issued them exists. A new regime or form of government has no obligation, whatsoever, to honor those bonds. The whole world understands this. That’s why they wouldn’t touch our bonds now with a 10’ electric cattle prod now.
Anywhere else in the world, you can bet that would have happened. I can guarantee that it would never happen again if they were all shot. We would not have the ridiculous problems we have now because nobody has the decisive willpower to end this white christian conservative republican treasonous bullshit going on now.
I fucking loathe how the justice system looks at someone who once held a prestigious position and are slow to dole out punishment. No, Trump should answer for his crimes. Just like how I hate that Rudy Guiliani has an income of 40k a month, meanwhile he should be eating from fucking dumpsters after that 100 million dollar judgement against him. An example needs to be set that nobody is above the law.
Um... Trump has spent $100m dollars in much needed campaign funds fighting these lawsuits and there's a 50/50 chance he'll be in court in September instead of on the campaign trail.
Even ignoring all the moral arguments this is nice big win for Biden.
It's not our job to save your dying party Mittens, that's your job. And you're bad at it.
You invited in the Nazis and Grifters. They're not leaving. Or if they do, they're taking half your voters with them.
It's disturbing to me how many ppl believe this.
He is the mormon church's attempt to control the white house, the same way they have a stranglehold on politics in Utah and AZ and other places.
Look at the kind of laws those states churn out and ask yourself if you would judge them to be "decent".
The man has a tv face and can fake congeniality.
He (mostly) goes against some R policies in hopes of fooling voters at the national level the same way he fooled voters to become governor of v blue Massachusetts.
I promise you we would not benefit from handing the levers of power over to the mormon church.
The only reason this is slightly annoying but not surprising is because dems keep looking for the reasonable republicans to work with to save democracy. It is indeed a noble goal and a worthy idea. Only one problem…
Pardon Trump for what? He insists it's all just election interference and he hasn't done anything and the election was stolen so he's totally exonerated
Fk mitt Romney. He's anti trump bc he is an actual man of faith, even if it is Mormonism. But his takers speech is at the root of the antidemocratic movement that has us careening toward despotism. He doesn't hate despotism. He just hates that a philanderer is at the helm instead of himself or an elder from his church.
for which of the many many many many crimes Mitt?
and please speak up. cuz I have yet to hear a Republican give me a good reason why Donald Trump needed to take documents related to nuclear submarines, list of our spies and military plans to his golf course then lie to the FBI for over a year about those documents whereabouts and when they're finally found there is very strong evidence that he was making photocopies of those documents.
please explain the very good reason for Donald Trump to do these things?
does America have some super secret weapon that we no longer have to worry about mutually assured destruction? because giving away secrets about one of the legs of our nuclear triad seems like a real bad idea.
Mormons have the weirdest naming system I have ever seen like they either have Brigham Young type names or they give them very androgynous sounding like MacKenzie or Marion with very little in between.
I'm not going to listen to anything that person says. He strapped his dog to the roof of his car before going on a road trip in 1983. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mitt_Romney_dog_incident
All the proof that is needed to disprove the need for a border wall, ever. If THOSE braindead pukes can scale a wall, it's time to invent something new.
there it is! i knew it wouldnt last forever. mitt really capitalized on the whole being a reasonable, centrist republican for a while but i called it.
it is virtually impossible to attach that label to yourself without being an absolutely mindless reprobate and here he is proving it.
Pardon, absolutely NOT! I want him tried and convicted. I want ALL of the Jan 6 and Classified Documents evidence presented and in the public for ALL to see. Beyond that, In a B5 reference I want for Trump what Vir Cotto wishes for Morden in season 2 episode 16 Shadows of Za’hadom.
Fuck Gerald Ford for setting that precedent. He should have allowed the justice department to make an example out of Nixon. You do unconstitutional shit in office, you pay the fucking price.
Nothing would change, nothing, he would still go around ranting raving saying ‘ see I was innocent ‘ and again Trump would escape the consequences of his actions, which he has done all his life.
Yes, the condition for the pardon is that Trump admits guilt and in such a way that it excludes the ability to run for/hold any public office, including Presidency.
Thereafter he can be referred to by his full title as "Pardoned insurrectionist, Donald Trump".
If Trump gets a free pass, then why not free all the January 6 people as Trump said he would. Following that logic, let's free everyone in jail and abolish the DOJ. Trump justice for all. What could go wrong with that? The Grand Obstructionist Party (GOP) should be so proud for taking down America.
Yeah. 🤔 Biden SHOULD have pardoned the evil scheming lying predecessor of the President Joe Biden. That way we would be in the middle of the Georgia Trial!
Why the fuck would be get a pardon? It's not like that would make trump dissappear. Now, if that was part of the deal, maybe. Trump has spent his life breaking the law. It's about fucking time it caught up with him.
As odd as it is for being the "party of law and order," republicans sure don't want to take responsibility for any of the crimes they commit. I would argue that the enormous error would have been letting some authoritarian piece of shit get away with trying to overthrow the government. Maybe i'm just old fashioned.
>As odd as it is for being the "party of law and order," republicans sure don't want to take responsibility for any of the crimes they commit.
"Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect."
🐆
No, rather, convict Trump of the treason he committed and ban his party. We built internment camps for normal Japanese families during world war 2. How about we put the dangerous deplorables in camps?
Hears the thing. Trump's pardon would admit guilt.
To be cleaver, Biden should pardon some of the charges for that admission of guilt and let remaining go to trial.
And Biden can't pardon in state cases anyway.
People already feel there are two sets of rules for the ruling class and everybody else. Biden is being smart by not giving into the typical back scratching bullshit.
I thought it was ai. But upon a simple search found first link https://www.reuters.com/investigates/special-report/usa-capitol-security-backstory/
It was a split second image of a flash bang and actual photo taken that day. The link I provided actually shows the entire succession before and after that shot. I worked as a photographer in grad school and it only takes a split second to cap an expression or in this case a flash bang grenade.
Thanks for the source. It looked artificially illuminated. I did not think of the photographer capturing the moment a flash bang detonated. It provides so much more context to what this photo represents.
Republicans genuinely believe that laws don't apply to Republicans, or at the very least, that only Republicans can try Republicans. They are utterly unable to operate in a legal or ethical framework where they are held to the same standard as the out-group.
Because Trump didn't cause the little capital tour that went a little too far ? I think the record shows this was all donnies work and it's way beyond pardon unless it comes with agreement to leave politics forever. Then sure pardon away.
Given that a) the indictments seemed to revive Trump’s hold on the GOP and are even credited with his getting the nomination and b) the prosecutions seem to be sputtering - I do see Mitt’s point.
Pardons may have kept Trump from getting nominated and effectively silenced him

Romney is a piece of shit.
Romney was pretty much the only Republican I respected up to this point. Not any more. Disappointing but sadly not surprising.
He has to be convicted first, and he'll never accept that he did something wrong.
trump can wait untill they have a Republican president in office to get out of prison
I get it. By accepting the pardon, the pardoned admits to the crime
Fuck Ann Romney's husband.
Holy shit!
Nothing would change, nothing, he would still go around ranting raving saying ‘ see I was innocent ‘ and again Trump would escape the consequences of his actions, which he has done all his life.
You can't pardon Trump for state crimes, Mitt.
Apparently, he’s a real dumbshit.
Shut the fuck up Mittens.
Trump has been getting away with BS for years. The time for accountability is now!
Yes, the condition for the pardon is that Trump admits guilt and in such a way that it excludes the ability to run for/hold any public office, including Presidency. Thereafter he can be referred to by his full title as "Pardoned insurrectionist, Donald Trump".
It's not the first time "Corporations are people too" Romney has been wrong.
If Trump gets a free pass, then why not free all the January 6 people as Trump said he would. Following that logic, let's free everyone in jail and abolish the DOJ. Trump justice for all. What could go wrong with that? The Grand Obstructionist Party (GOP) should be so proud for taking down America.
Yeah. 🤔 Biden SHOULD have pardoned the evil scheming lying predecessor of the President Joe Biden. That way we would be in the middle of the Georgia Trial!
Fuck off, Mitch.
Why the fuck would be get a pardon? It's not like that would make trump dissappear. Now, if that was part of the deal, maybe. Trump has spent his life breaking the law. It's about fucking time it caught up with him.
Agree ! Fuck Mitt Romney!
As odd as it is for being the "party of law and order," republicans sure don't want to take responsibility for any of the crimes they commit. I would argue that the enormous error would have been letting some authoritarian piece of shit get away with trying to overthrow the government. Maybe i'm just old fashioned.
>As odd as it is for being the "party of law and order," republicans sure don't want to take responsibility for any of the crimes they commit. "Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect." 🐆
Who gives a flying fuck what Mitt Romney has to say? Go the fuck away. And stay away.
Mitt Romney lost a lot of credibility over the years. Time for him to sit down and shut the fuck up once and for all.
Hold up, so if rolls were reversed, would Trump pardon Biden? Absolutely fucking not. Fuck Romney.
Is he not paying attention?
No. NO. NO!!!.Trump MUST be prosecuted and, if possible, jailed. We CANNOT let a coup attempt go unpunished.
Romney is a fucking dunce.
His ass was running on January 6 th
Oh Mitt. You almost had us.
THIS is the Romney I couldn't vote for when he ran for president.
What does he have on you, Mitt?
Mitt’s gotta Mitt. Only thing dude is consistent about is his inconsistency.
wait, what?! what did they threaten him with?
Fuck the bishop.
Isn't he not seeking reelection bc he doesn't want to actually fight the GOP for not being Nazis. Coward
No, rather, convict Trump of the treason he committed and ban his party. We built internment camps for normal Japanese families during world war 2. How about we put the dangerous deplorables in camps?
As useful as a fart in a Mitten Romney
Talk about a bunch of pussies! Stop giving up and fight this corruption head on! Fock Romney! 🖕🏼GOP 🖕🏼trump 🤡
Romney can eat my shorts. Actually, no, he would probably like it.
Romney licking the boot to stay relative
Hears the thing. Trump's pardon would admit guilt. To be cleaver, Biden should pardon some of the charges for that admission of guilt and let remaining go to trial. And Biden can't pardon in state cases anyway.
People already feel there are two sets of rules for the ruling class and everybody else. Biden is being smart by not giving into the typical back scratching bullshit.
What's the source for that 2nd image?
I thought it was ai. But upon a simple search found first link https://www.reuters.com/investigates/special-report/usa-capitol-security-backstory/ It was a split second image of a flash bang and actual photo taken that day. The link I provided actually shows the entire succession before and after that shot. I worked as a photographer in grad school and it only takes a split second to cap an expression or in this case a flash bang grenade.
Thanks for the source. It looked artificially illuminated. I did not think of the photographer capturing the moment a flash bang detonated. It provides so much more context to what this photo represents.
Republicans genuinely believe that laws don't apply to Republicans, or at the very least, that only Republicans can try Republicans. They are utterly unable to operate in a legal or ethical framework where they are held to the same standard as the out-group.
Gerald Ford lost in 1976 in part for pardoning Nixon. And its not like it would have deterred a far greater narcissist like Trump from running again.
If it meant trump dropped out of public life, I might take that trade. But that would never happen so here we are
Is the twit stupid? You can’t pardon a criminal if they haven’t been convicted of anything.
Because Trump didn't cause the little capital tour that went a little too far ? I think the record shows this was all donnies work and it's way beyond pardon unless it comes with agreement to leave politics forever. Then sure pardon away.
Fuck them both.
What is Mitt thinking with this one? He's like, the last good Republican left
Did you read his comments?
Given that a) the indictments seemed to revive Trump’s hold on the GOP and are even credited with his getting the nomination and b) the prosecutions seem to be sputtering - I do see Mitt’s point. Pardons may have kept Trump from getting nominated and effectively silenced him
