I'm am very glad we've got an active president coming it. I sincerely hope he's got some solid minders to properly vector all the thrust.

I am sure many of the aviators on this forum have flown through and gotten gas in Greenland, we have never been denied access. Doubt it has anything to do with access and mostly to do with minerals.

Access to greater sovereign control (and yes minerals) and Anti-Access via UEWR as well as blocking via EEZ/contiguous/territorial waters are what come to mind. BLUB: more regional control and security via sovereign control. Akin to China's 9-dash line, albeit containing Panama Canal shipping choke point (i.e. global L.o.C.) and IVO Northern Passage, (bonus for more arctic region vs. 9-line). If I were to bar-napkin it, it'd be a 10 dash line! Break/ So when are we going to build the One-American-Road (ex. North to South America) vs the BRI (i.e. One-Belt, One-Road) and quit playing around with these reduced-regional matters!? Go trans-global, full region like China's BRI. That's geopolitical parity. I see it coming in our lifetimes via coalition, alliances, or other in our lifetimes while on this present geopolitical vector.

lloyd christmas Posted January 20 Posted January 20 The left and the power structure associated with it knows that the truth will come out. And it’ll be sooner than later. Pardons don’t prevent investigations or info from being released they just prevent charging someone for their crimes. Let the truth come out. All of it. We just witnessed the most destructive 4 years in our nations history, politically speaking. Today it all changes. Let’s get to work rebuilding this nation. 2 1 4

GKinnear Posted January 20 Posted January 20 IANAL...but the SCOTUS determined in 1915 that accepting a pardon included the acceptance of a confession. So kinda like the "declaration" on the ERA being a law, the current POTUS is wrong on his preemptive pardons statement. "The issuance of these pardons should not be mistaken as an acknowledgment that any individual engaged in any wrongdoing, nor should acceptance be misconstrued as an admission of guilt for any offense.

I shared merely to highlight the rampant hypocrisy of the “unbiased” press.

ClearedHot Posted January 20 Posted January 20 No wonder a few of our stalwart lefts rage quit the forum.
BFM this Posted January 20 Posted January 20 I'm curious, and a first swing with the Google machine yielded few results: That's quite a few pardons for people never charged. Is this normal? Just something that we haven't heard of because it wasn't newsworthy? How many times has this happened in the past? I know that Presidents sign a lot of pardons in the 11th hour of their term, but what percentage are for uncharged individuals? 2
uninformed Posted January 20 Posted January 20 BFM, not normal at all. The optics for Biden's legacy is terrible. It's almost as though he's trying to drive has approval ratings to zero. Maybe he's doing it to punish the DNC for dumping him. Or, maybe he had no idea what he was signing...his family members probably offered him an ice cream cone if he'd just sign on the dotted line. 4 2
BashiChuni Posted January 20 Posted January 20 This picture sums up everything. Most corrupt administration in history. 2 2
Smokin Posted January 20 Posted January 20 Other than the ice cream bribe idea, which is disturbingly possible, the only explanations that make sense are: A- He knows they committed crimes that merit prosecution or B- He thinks that the judicial system is unjust enough to commit law-fare against political opponents of the party in power If A, then clearly the Biden Crime Family is as bad or worse than the right wing social commenters have said they are. If B, I wonder where he got that idea? Maybe the last 4 years of his administration had something to do with it... 2
ClearedHot Posted January 20 Posted January 20 I was flying my plane home from a trip today, at 1203 Guard came alive "We have been unburdened by what has been"...then EVERYONE jumped in...not a single negative comment. 7 5
TreeA10 Posted January 21 Posted January 21 Classic projection. Biden knows what a corrupt DOJ could do because he did it. Therefore, he wanted to protect other Biden Crime Family recipients of the influence peddaling they benefited from. 3

Per the logic and legal precedent stated above, those individuals named in the pardon would have to submit an approved confession to accept the pardon, right? I hope this gets squashed in the courts, such a dangerous and disturbing precedent.

You jest but this is probably the most accurate prediction. The halfwit can’t string a sentence together (hasn’t been able to since 2019), doubt he just woke up and decided to pardon Miley. His handlers made sure he did - which should scare anyone still in uniform how deeply entrenched the deep state is in the military. Can’t wait for DOGE to destroy the rot that has infested the DOD. 3
