Criminalising being a former president is a good idea that won't have any negative ramifications.

I've followed enough of the shit show to know exactly what this is.

It's abuse of power and political weaponization of systems that aren't supposed to be used this way. Been happening non-stop. Pandora's box after Pandora's box being opened by short-sighted idiots who erased history so they don't have to be inconvenienced by it.

These abuses of power are widespread, and everyone can see what's happening. The absolute destruction of the whole political ideology has already started. Liberalism and progressivism did some really good things in the past few decades, I can only hope that this doesn't result in too many innocent people getting torn apart by the implosion.

Yeah, just like all the other conspiracy theories from the past 5 years. I'm sure this one is totally real and true, unlike all the other ones.

this'll be the one for sure.

There's been a lot of conspiracy theories.

It's just one thing after another. The election wasn't even over when the now proven fraudulent Russiagate started. The Hillary Clinton campaign was fined by the election commission for their role in that hoax. It's just been one thing after another since. Accusation after accusation after accusation, and accusing the people around him, and accusing the people associated with him, it just never ended, and very little of it ended up bearing any fruit. It was just conspiracy theories.

I don't particularly care about Trump per se. It was pretty funny that he won the election in 2016, but he's an idiot who failed on a lot of fronts when he could have succeeded. Snowden and Assange both being good examples. The guy ran on balanced budgets and spent more in 4 years than Obama spent in 8. There's lots to criticize him for, he's all talk no action.

I do particularly care about abuses of power by the state. I was against it in 2001 when George W. Bush was president, and I'm against it today with Joe Biden as president. If a former president of the United States is vulnerable to having law enforcement weaponised against them like it has been, then it can happen to literally anyone, and it will.

Judging his administration by actions rather than words, he had a very light touch. I suspect he was worried about breaking anything important by fiddling with stuff he had no real clue about.

I think in 15 minutes we could both come up with dozens of ideas of people to pardon who would have an outsized effect on his public perception, and that's just one power.
