C'mon libs, all this butthurt over Trump needs to end. Attack policy, with factual info, the whining and moaning isn't a good look a year after an election.
You guys carried on the attacks against Obama for his entire 8 years in office. What makes you think we're going to give you and the rest of the Trump cult any leniency? At least you'll only have to deal with it for another 3 years tops. Count yourselves lucky in that respect. That's one thing you have going for you.

For now though you guys might want to buckle up. This ride is about to get good!

And crickets when Clinton pardoned the Whitewater crowd.

I agree. I can’t see the downside of this.

Bad because the reasoning behind this is about being vindictive, not constructive to the US.
Similar to the constitutional amendment proposed last July by another Dem.

They don't want to "fix the constitution"; they are going after Trump specifically.

They should add it to their Constitutional Amendments to Do Away with the Electors
AND
Their Constitutional Amendment to remove the Right to Bear Arms

Maybe they can pass a Constitutional Amendment that is against any Republican becoming President of the USA.

I don't think anyone is expecting to but it would fix possible issues in the future, that is what I would like to see done.
