Good. Obama should resign a day early to make Biden the 45th president just to ruin all of Trump's merchandise. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peterms Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 I find this quite amusing. Supposed to be him writing a Presidential address. The setting, the framing, the faked expression, pretending to write by holding the pad in the air making it pretty hard to write...there is literally nothing natural or genuine about this shot, other than "man poses for contrived photo meant to connote traits he doesn't possess, like concentration, focus on public duty...". Arse. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OutByEaster? Posted January 18, 2017 Moderator Share Posted January 18, 2017 Monday - release Chelsea Manning Tuesday - give half a billion dollars to climate change organisations Anyone got any idea what Obama will be doing wind Trump up today? It's like a strange sort of advent calendar except that the big door on the last day opens to, well, to Donald Trump. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was trying to look that up. It looks like a Presidential commutation or pardon is absolute though also there appear to have been some claims that some were rescinded around the time of Ulysses Grant. I wouldn't be surprised if Trump tried to rescind it or if they tried something else on the day Manning is released (maybe first new detainee at Gitmo?).

peterms Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 I thought in general, honours or pardons granted by outgoing rulers were accepted as valid regardless of their credentials or propriety as they would otherwise be judged. Doesn't that go back to antiquity? I have a vague recollection of Frazier and the Golden Bough, but I'm not going to look for it. Well, unless I really, really can't sleep tonight.
