as someone who's not from america, the idea that any president:

1- can pardon themselves
2- can pardon any blood relative
3- cant be prosecuted if they are on office or not (?)

is wack

[moocowp]

I mean, you guys were literally saying that Democrats should use loopholes more often, so I guess they really took your advice to heart 😅

Joe Biden coming out with that "F*** it, I don't care anymore" energy.

As a Canadian, I have been constantly stunned over the last 10 years or so at what has been exposed in American democracy. For such a celebrated democracy, the amount of power to just rule on things with Executive Orders, Presidential Pardons and stacked courts is absolutely shocking. I can't think of other Western democracies that give their President and a handful of elite insiders so much personal, unfettered power to overrule the rule of law, or democratic process. Stunning.

Whoever wrote the Doctor Seuss joke deserves a high five.

He is like "what are they gonna do? Not vote for me again?" 😂

[JazzyJonas]

Dear President Biden,
PLEASE DO OTHER STUFF TOO BEFORE YOU LEAVE OFFICE HELP!

[unintentionalprovocateur]

Thank you for not acting like the left is always right. Not that Fox or Trump will ever agree, but it lets me know you speak to truth and not politics.

[teddymartinii]

Most Republicans in the Senate will give Trump whatever he wants. The first one to drop his pants and bend over will be Lindsey Graham. It won't be the first time. All we can do is hope that there are a handful of Republicans willing to sacrifice their careers to vote agains't Trump's worst nominees, like Kash Patel.

Does anyone actually have any faith in the system a more ?.
If I was Biden I would definitely be taking my entire family on holiday overseas for at least the next 4 years.

Kash Patel The Answer to the question What if you combined J Edgar Hoover with Alex Jones?

[NandMoo]

There is no one better to cover the joke that is our government than a comedian. Much respect for John Stewart.

[michaellombardi]

The plot against the king? are you freaking kidding me?

[gnocchidokey]

"why this weekend"? bc trump just said he's appointing mr revenge who specifically hates hunter biden to the fbi bro

[schols]

“This turkey is delicious.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Shout out al the way from Amsterdam in the Netherlands!🫡✈️

[trevorprice]

“This turkey is delicious, obviously not one of the ones that was pardoned…” 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

We lost the rule of law when we allowed judges to be affiliated with political parties. How many of us would prefer going before a Republican judge instead of a Democrat judge for even a traffic ticket?

[JohnDoe-gydr]

The Daily Show with Jon Stewart was my favorite show by a huge margin when I was growing up. Its so crazy to see a new episode with him in it. I'm just commenting to boost the video but Stewart is a national treasure.

[pauldourlet]

In regard to Patel. The fact he wrote children'book titled The Plot Against the King gives me chills. Doesn't he know we fought a war against a King to be free of him? That is scary.
