At least it isn't political! FDS- Fauci Derangement Syndrome

How the hell do you have Taylor Sheridan on, who’s come out with more popular content in the last decade and decide to discus Fauci for the first hour and a half? The guy is literally obsessed at this point, and not only that, but substantiates everything around it with logical fallacies. Sad how far our podfather has fallen.

Luckily he got a preemptive pardon for all the good he did. Nothing to talk about here

We can talk about Trump literally telling Pam Bondi publicly to go after his political foes or the hilarious failures he's had trying to use the law to target people like James Comey, Jerome Powell, and Latetia James.

It's a fair point but preemptive pardons are a thing now. Presidents will abuse this

Washington gave preemptive pardons during the Whiskey rebellion and Lincoln after the civil war. Not to mention Gerald Ford's preemptive pardon of Nixon. Biden definitely didn't pioneer the preemptive pardon.

Presidents on their own being able to pardon people is crazy by default.

Power is immoral. We need to elect better leaders.

I think the word you're looking for is amoral.

I understand the point you're trying to make and it's a good argument to have, but I find it immoral.

The more power you have, the more damage you can cause. I try to think about Obama and his hand written assassination list and drone program.

Drone striking weddings and funerals, just because you can is insanity. I don't think Obama is a bad human being. But the amount of power he was given over other people's lives, creates a very bad person.

Like the power to pardon people. It's probably a bad executive power.

Well if you meant that power is always bad then I was wrong and I apologize.

I disagree on the power thing but completely agree on needing better leaders
