    Probably any/all actions related to his role in gov.

    I am not a fan of Fauci. I think he lied to us about masks and about the origin of the virus "for our own benefit". But I support the pardon.

    Why? because I'm certain red team is full of enough room temperature IQ-anon witchhunting nutters that they'd probably make his life a living hell with nonsense lawfare until the day he dies otherwise.

    Yet again another bad outcome that has to be justified because the alternative is a worse outcome. Life in a duopoly ****ing sucks.

    Biden has abused the legal system in ways never before seen. Unreal. Biden is the most corrupt president in history.

    The Democrats may regret this move -- as it will enable Republicans to be even more aggressive in going after their opponents... which at this point they should do with the full force of the government -- as was done to them.

    Local and state politics is important. National politics is a **** show. Political parties should not be allowed to shift money across state lines. This would fix so much in politics.

    First, I am not angry about anything. Second, IDGAF about the culture wars outside of it being shoved in front of everyones face to serve as a distraction. I am tired of being told I need to care about transgenders, gays, minorities and womens rights. This country has much much bigger problems that effect us all, like healthcare, debt, poverty, food quality, education and every solutions proposed at the national level only caters to wealthy people and never solves the underlying problems.

    I am ok with intelligent people who have the peoples interest at heart helping to fix the problem, even if they are some of the wealthiest people. I dont think the Zuckerbergs, Gates, Soros, Thiels, ect... fit this model. I do believe people who are focused on innovation should be given more attention than some jackass who creates a social media company that enslaves a generation of people to their phones.

    I have always said Space exploration, advanced tech like 'AI', and energy are crucial for a healthy longevity of this country. If we instead continue to focus all of our energy (like the biden administration) on social issues, then this talent will go else where. If your dream is to have a healthier species as a whole, that certainly wont happen in the US if a majority believe the EU model is the way to go. Productive will flow to places like China and Japan where equality is not welcomed and then we truly do risk becoming a planetary dystopia.

    People need to start thinking 2-5 generations out instead of focusing on 50 year old white women and males worrying about reproductivity rights.

    Hopefully one of the states like Texas or Florida will go after Fauci for his MANY crimes. That psychopath should be locked up until he dies.

    Let the next administration pardon them.

    By supporting this form of pardon, you are effectively letting every future president let anyone commit crimes during their administration and absolving them with blanket pardons. What could go wrong? Letting a team of lunatics assassinate all of your political opponents? Genocide? It seems there is no bridge too far for some peoples team.

    Pardons are for people who have been convicted. Biden just issued politically motivated PREEMPTIVE pardons, including for his son, something he lied about for years.

    Since Milley cannot be held responsible for his act of treason, maybe he should be recalled to active duty, stripped of every award, and demoted to private.

    That's a cute if not naive take on things.

    Maybe in a functioning democracy, but not in this timeline my guy.

    Oh, so the false accusation that anyone but the Democrats are undemocratic justifies everything. Got it.

    Like Biden laughably saying he created a 28th amendment.

    The street may not be equally wide, but it runs both ways, and I never said nor hinted otherwise.

    So Fauci committed crimes. We knew that.

    Pre-emptive pardons when someone isn't even charged with a crime yet is stupid. I understand why he would do it, but we can't operate this way.

    Biden is really going out in the most blatantly shameless way possible.

    Generally speaking yes, that's the kind of pardon we all should want. A narrow pardon is better than a blanket one.
