You sound like the people still claiming Russia had no plans to attack Ukraine in Feb 2022.
https://youtu.be/zWh6TkpW_bo They've managed to capture a few of them already. It's already an interesting diplomatic issue with South Korea as the captured North Koreans may be returned to South Korea if they say they want to defect. Only useful idiots are denying this.
Pro-tip; if someone you think is smart believes in something you think is braindead stupid, consider the possibility that they're right.
This is a fun one: https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/01/keeping-americans-safe-in-aviation/ Trump specifically ended DEI at the FAA. Pretty obvious that people die when you hire flight controllers on the basis of something other than competence.

I think we're in agreement.
Samorai being pardoned wouldn't be ideal. We want them to win their case.

Haha, yes, that was my second favorite too!
North Korea's are pretty similar looking to people in parts of Russia.
Real world consequence of the international court system: Ukrainian special forces risking their life to get DNA samples of suspected North Koreans fighting for Russia. https://video.nostr.build/ebe25fb477b034de9a170acccfa66b9c8a20f8faf00456f358bcf7ef0575c14b.mp4 Source: https://x.com/73centreuasof/status/1881703919065366541

Deterrence.
https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/01/restoring-the-death-penalty-and-protecting-public-safety/ “(b) In addition to pursuing the death penalty where possible, the Attorney General shall, where consistent with applicable law, pursue Federal jurisdiction and seek the death penalty regardless of other factors for every federal capital crime involving: (i) The murder of a law-enforcement officer; or (ii) A capital crime committed by an alien illegally present in this country.” Interesting.
Actually you know what, censorship is a good thing. nostr:nevent1qqsqduavdl9wkg2gs8ewslj8smqnqeaj2my4zzprym0j6ah9vap7fmqpr4mhxue69uhkummnw3ezucnfw33k76twv4ezuum0vd5kzmp0qgszd44fgen4ucpl3hjt7muuaazzqdahp3lwu9c07phdweelcdxf3ugrqsqqqqqpwjvyw4

I don't think pardon power in general is crazy. It's not unlike jury nullification. But the way it's been used by Biden is pretty lol.
Relevant: acceptance of a pardon is acknowledgement of guilt. This was adjudicated in Burdick v. United States in 1915. https://image.nostr.build/708601d369c386dfbaa40a67025146679131169cca22df2ea9abef589ecd7f7b.jpg Another fun thing is if you are pardoned for a crime, the 5th amendment no longer applies as your testimony is no longer incriminating; lying is still perjury. Putting Fauci on the stand and forcing him to admit to his crimes would still be effective. And the pardon isn't for any of his staff, who are probably themselves guilty of various offenses too.
