At face value this is correct....just wonder how long such 'isolationism' would have lasted as he enjoys his mantle of 'leader of the free world'.

StringerBellend Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 Most such pardons would be less controversial than the one handed to Flynn. However, among those campaigning for a pardon is Joseph Maldonado-Passage. Better known as Joe Exotic, the zookeeper subject of hit Netflix documentary Tiger King, he received a 22-year sentence for trying to hire a hitman to kill a rival. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2020/nov/26/trump-pardon-michael-flynn-rick-gates Free the Tiger King!!

marron Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 This is going to come out wrong but Hitler rarely, if ever, invoked the stab in the back myth. That's not to say it wasn't an important part of why Germans voted for his anti-versailles platform, but it would be a mistake to think that he did what Trump is doing by actively campaigning on "stop the steal/stab in the back" or whatever. sonar 1 Link to comment
pseudonym Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 Yeah the better parallel would be with the US election of 1824 No candidate wins enough Electoral college votes John Quincy Adams wins after a contingent election is held by the House of Representatives Andrew Jackson and his supporters criticise the result as a "corrupt bargain" as Henry Clay encouraged House delegates to vote for Adams sonar, wendybr and EmMac 3 Link to comment
