He has been convicted - and he hasn't appealed all convictions, yet. (But that is a technicality.)
That is just more reason to wish him a long life. He owes a lot of people money, and he owes the US people to restore trust in their justice system.

You don't keep up with your party very much.
That was just more of the phony " JOY, JOY, JOY ! " in putting Hitler in the bullseye , in desperate hope of winning an election where you have zilch to run on except aborting more babies & the majority of Americans is disgusted with you , and your lawfare and not ending up like the losers you should be used to being by now.
Everybody knows that .
Even your High Priest of Democrat loser Lawfare knows that .
That's kind of built into the idea of Presidents being able to pardon folks.
The check and balance on this is the other two branches of the Federal government.

What here gives you the impression that what Democrats said or did led to the assassination attempts?
How do those 2 branches limit pardons?

The fact that so many have woken up to the truth now, it's humbling and strengthening to see what people have called a great realignment for this country.

Full comment:
"I have one job, and that's to beat Donald Trump. I'm absolutely certain I'm the best person to be able to do that. So, we're done talking about the debate. It’s time to put Trump in a bullseye."
Biden admits Trump 'bullseye' comments a mistake
The remarks came in an interview in which the president defended his rhetoric against his election rival.
Meanwhile, Trump:
“I have this piece of glass here,” he said. “But all we have really over here is the fake news. And to get me, somebody would have to shoot through the fake news. And I don’t mind that so much.”
Trump talks about reporters being shot and says he shouldn't have left White House after 2020 loss
On the final Sunday of a rollercoaster presidential contest, Republican nominee Donald Trump is asking voters in Pennsylvania again to make him leader of a “failed nation” while also unleashing a profane, conspiracy-laden rant asserting U.S. elections ...

Tell me more about me.
They limit the powers of the president.
Congress can remove the president from office which would mean no more pardons.

Partisanship prevented this TWICE with Trump.
Many (if not most) pardons are issued
during the final days of a lame duck term.
Removal is no threat....if it ever were.
How many Presidents have ever been
removed, eh.
It's well known that there are innocent people convicted of crimes -- sometimes the worst of crimes. Consider the Central Park Five, just for example, but there are literally thousands of examples.
I would love to see the pardon power used to do something about that -- where the President is presented with the evidence of wrongful conviction. Such evidence may not be incontrovertible, but pardoning people on the basis of reasonable doubt would certainly benefit many, many innocent folks, even if it also lets a few guilty slip through.
FYI, Trump publicly called for their execution,
never backing off, even after their exoneration.
He's a big fan of cops coercing confessions,
no matter if the confession is false because
of torture, stress, or trickery.
Trump wanted the Central Park Five executed. DNA tests proved their innocence. He's not backing down.
Trump still can’t admit he made a mistake.

would be nice if Trump could be held accountable for his crimes. But I think that now that he has a four year reprieve, he will be dead before having to face any consequences for his actions.
I vote no on a pardon.
WIth all the self destructive stupid mistakes he makes he will punish himself. At the same time I think spending half your time in court and fighting off folks who are following you and trying to stop you is big enough punishment anyways.
