Can he pardon Luigi while he’s at it? Seriously, what does he have to lose.
Only for relatively minor gun offenses — the murder charge is a state law violation, and the President can’t pardon those.
But he can try?
Can someone be pardoned before they are tried?
They do that to the turkey
I mean he just pardoned his son that way right? I don’t think Hunter had been tried for anything.
Hunter had already been tried and convicted. He was set to be sentenced this month until Biden pardoned him.
Ah didn’t know that. No clue than 🤷
He’d been tried and convicted, only sentencing was missing.
Trump will overturn this almost instantly the moment he gets into power. This is just a gesture. He should have done it sooner.
The talks are taking place within the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, or OECD, a group of 38 wealthy countries that coordinate on export credit terms to prevent any one country from distorting trade relations. The countries are trying this month to hash out a verbal agreement on how to regulate their export credit agencies.
If such an agreement comes together, it would force a sea change in policy for the United States’ own export credit agency, which is known as the Export Import Bank of the United States, or EXIM. This independent agency is among the last remaining channels through which the U.S. government provides financial support to fossil fuel interests overseas.
I feel like sometimes people just read the headline, grab for the most near-at-hand thought pattern that corresponds to it within their collection of prejudices, and click “Send.”
There’s also some discussion of what Biden did earlier in his administration, how the industry responded, why they’re trying to accelerate getting this into place right now, and so on. It’s actually a lot more complex than the headline. Who knew.
I don’t see how what you quoted negates the original comment.
It’s a multinational agreement, many of the signatories of which Trump will not be in charge of in any sense. And, even the US agency impacted is in theory “independent,” which under Biden gave them some leeway to ignore his instructions to them. Although, Trump will surely mount an attack on that.
The point that I was making, which the article goes into more depth about, is that this is not just outside the executive branch, but a fully independent agency. Trump can attack it, sure, but he can’t “overturn” the OECD, and getting this accomplished is not at all just a gesture.
More information is in the article.
Anything Trump has to undo is still time he has to spend undoing it
Trump won’t care if it sours relations with other signees he’ll just roll it back regardless of the impact, unless of course they make one of the resolutions that everyone agrees Donald Trump is the best leader ever.
