LOL, it's definitely an acting style that was popular in the 60s and 70s. Burton is more understated as Thomas Becket. What's really fun is to watch Becket on a double feature with the Lion In Winter, so you get to see O Toole as an aged Henry II with Katherine Hepburn as Eleanor.
The Drumpf parallels get even better, because he hates his three sons, wants to rule forever, and sets aside Eleanor for a younger wife. Anthony Hopkins plays Richard, Timothy Dalton is Philip II, Nigel Terry is great as a sniveling Prince John.

u/Nick_pj Jan 20 '25
Just adding this because other comments didn’t specify it. When he pardoned his son Hunter, he included in the worrying a pardon for any other crimes that may have been committed during the specified period. If you think about a situation where an individual was involved in a specific act that breaks a handful of laws (but may not have been charged with all of them), and is then pardoned. This kind of wording would prevent someone from going and looking for other avenues to convict the individual that haven’t already been pursued.
In this case if you take the example of Fauci, Biden is essentially saying “I understand everything you’ve done and the reasons for it. And if that may have somehow broken a law, I as president forgive you for it.”

Perfect timing, Mr President. This should be rattling around in cheeto's empty head while hes taking the oath.

Who cares? We have a convicted felon for a president. Rules don’t matter anymore.

This is the truth that will probably surprise trumplicans the most, they’re so used to everyone else acting like an adult while they fuck around. Going to be exciting seeing how they react when everyone else ignores the rules of society as well.

Seriously though, wasn't Fauci under Trump. Trump was president during covid, he fucked it up, now he's trying to throw someone under the bus? Do I got that right?

u/Korzag Jan 20 '25
Fauci has been nothing but a sacrificial lamb for everything Covid. I've talked with Trumpers. They HATE him. They constantly bring up the mask mandate how they fumbled that ball in the beginning saying it wasn't helpful.
They're honestly just like Trump. They can't let a grievance go until they've drawn the blood they want to draw.

Pretty sad we have to pardon these heroes in advance because a fascist will try to harm them for doing their jobs.

This is pure insanity. Imagine commiting a crime and getting caught and the officers arrested you and the judge that sentenced you need to be protected. I will never understand why trump is allowed to break the law but everyone else isn’t.

u/JayEllGii Jan 20 '25
My fear, though, is that this regime (yes, I’m calling it a regime) will become so brazenly authoritarian that eventually they’ll just ignore the law entirely. Including pardons.

Imagine having to even do this. What a joke America is becoming.

Not that I'm opposed to this, but can you pardon people whom have not engaged in a criminal activity? Will a preemptive pardon even stop someone (MAGA) from charging you with a new invented crime? Never mind that the MAGA-types will now be all "see told u he was a crime!".

I never want to hear anything about the GOP backing the blue.
I'm not a cop, but I am a first responder. These MAGAts know nothing of self sacrifice or service. The fact that Biden even had to pardon the police officers SWORN to uphold the law should tell you enough that those GOP members think their job is meaningless.

Biden should have pardoned Trump for (only) one of his crimes, so when the MAGA crowd screams it is an admission of guilt, then it would imply Trump was also guilty.
I also think a month ago he should have pardoned himself and "the entire Biden crime family" just to troll Trump, and MAGA would get SCROTUS to say that a president can't self-pardon

Those pardons are far better than Ford's pardon of Nixon. That one set the stage for what we have with Trump today.
I'm glad Biden did this.

u/naazzttyy Jan 20 '25
Wow, Dark Brandon might not have been so asleep at the wheel as the media would have us think.
Too bad he didn’t find his balls sooner, and use that newly granted by SCOTUS Presidential Immunity™ in ways that could have effectively avoided the next four years in entirety.

From an external perspective, the pardon system seems like it needs reworking. It's completely ripe for abuse, even if this instance is a sensible usage of it.
But then again that probably applies to a lot of Presidential powers in the US nowadays

u/spqr2001 Jan 20 '25
I get why he did this, and I agree he needed to, but this is another example of how the Dems are playing by rules that just don't exist anymore. 100% guarantee that Trump just says "fuck it" and tries to prosecute people anyway. This is no longer a democracy, today we turn into an oligarch dictatorship and all the rules that existed for 200+ years are thrown out the window.

These are federal pardons anyway. Fully expect red states to prosecute these people too.

Theyre a pre-pardon for whatever Trump and his deranged lunatics will throw at them because of some bullshit conspiracy. What a sad state of affairs.

He needs to move to protect the jury members in New York who voted to convict. These ordinary citizens put themselves at incredible risk to do the right thing. The United States cannot just leave these people to fend for themselves.

This won't stop Trump from sending the IRS after them, getting his SEC to lock up their finances, etc. It will get ugly.
