My two questions for the Democratic presidential candidates

By Michael Alan Prestwood
Wed 4 Dec 2019
< 1 minute read

I want to ask every presidential candidate the following,

  1. “Unlike Trump, will you promise to honor the separation of powers and agree to not interfere with the justice department so they can do their job?”
  2. “Do you promise to only grant pardons 5+ years after conviction as established by tradition, including presidents?”

True law-n-order folks will support these questions and their ideas. If you want Trump and his family and friends to get off without investigations into their many crimes and you think you are a law-n-order person, you’re not. You’re an un-american traitorous unthinking idiot.
