The purpose is, ostensibly, to prevent some form of miscarriage of justice or an over harsh sentencing. Think the guy who they tried to charge with a felony for harmlessly throwing a sandwich at a federal officer, if they had managed to convict instead of failing to even get an indictment. Or it could also be used to retroactively forgive people convicted of breaking a law that has since been overturned. Like if they decriminalization weed possession, those already convicted while the law was in place don’t automatically get their sentences overturned.

But it is a power that should be rarely needed, judiciously applied, and have sensible guardrails on it. But the founders were confident that the people wouldnt elect self centered autocrats, that congress and the courts wouldn’t be filled with sycophants, opportunists, and cowards, and that the public wouldn’t stand for blatant corrupt uses of presidential powers. But here we are.

Frankly, if we can’t stop blatantly corrupt abuse of the pardon powers or even have basic limitations on it (like no self pardons) then that power should be amended out of the constitution.

And nobody knows what to call them, so they just say “you know who”

Year three: alleged killer on the loose but nobody gets hurt

I mean, several students get attacked by a werewolf and 100 dementors in the same night, nearly resulting in 3 people (2 of them students) losing their very souls. And of course, poor Draco maimed by Buckb- uh… I mean, Witherwings.

Year five: strangely, no attacks on the school

That’s a very diplomatic way to skirt around the governmental coup of the school implementing totalitarian control by a racist megalomaniac, restricting basic rights, turning students into secret police, and punishing discent with literal fucking torture.

Geez that’s dark. Upvote.

There’s a reason Trump was on his mind at the endm

Stephen Miller has erupted at “blatant jury nullification”

Jury nullification is entirely legal and built into the American justice system. Jury decision to nullify is final and protects from unjust application of laws. Cry about it, Nazi.

Inside a whole raw onion before shoving that up your ass

Onions are vile and I’ll tell you where you can shove your judgement.

Hard pass.

Counter point. Onions are vile and make eating out a constant annoyance for me because they’re in everything.

I hate onion. I dont cook it. Can’t stand the smell of it. Best case scenario, I use onion powder in something. I still get these comments, so… no.

Propogation of Errors by Bleak Knowledge About Coding

…In 1993, apparently? Given the clothes, hair, and background decor.

It should be considered unconstitutional. It should be considered a violation of the 4th amendment. It should be illegal.

Take it up with the Employers under paying, the Landlords over charging, and the Goverment Officials that prioritize anyone but the poor. They got my money. Ask them for yours.

Damn, Santa has so many Elf mouths to feed. And don’t act like we don’t owe him one. Didn’t see a damn thing.

The set of Real numbers excluding the Naturals

Edit: before anyone says i know that that’s still the same cardinality as the reals.

Bro has been swinging dick in front of Christipher Robin since 1926. He’s been Donald Ducking it before Donald Duck was even a thing. Old pervert.

Which will be fuller? The drunk tank, the sti test clinic, or er?
