When you are actively voting against other people having equal rights, you don't get to hide behind "difference of opinion"

Absolutely nobody is against Christmas. Even people who don't like Christmas are cool with others celebrating it. Like 90% of people who say "Happy Holidays" celebrate Christmas. But the right wing confuses inclusion of others with an attack on the majority.

But what if he runs for office? Then he can't be convicted, right?

By "obscene" they mean a guy flirts with a guy. Meanwhile a full on sex scene isn't "obscene" so long as it's heterosexual

He assumed he'd get away with it because of all the crap Trump got away with

He should run for congress because there are no consequences for crime if you get elected before the justice system has time to convict

I'd be afraid to announce it until I'm out

 

I've seen a lot of people on this site make comments that terrorism is now legal in the Untied States or asking if it's now legal for them to storm the capitol and other such nonsense.

No, pardoning someone does not change the law. A pardon just means that individual will not be punished for that specific crime. It doesn't mean that individual is allowed to commit further crimes or even the same one again. It doesn't mean the crime is no longer illegal. It doesn't mean future offenders are guaranteed a pardon. All it means is that individual is forgiven for those specific actions by law.

If you forgive someone for lying to you, that doesn't mean that for the rest of your life they and everyone else has permission to lie to you.
