"The masters of war pretend not to know that it takes only a moment to destroy, yet a lifetime is often not enough to rebuild. They turn a blind eye to the fact that billions of dollars are spent on killing and devastation, yet the resources needed for healing, education and restoration are nowhere to be found."

-Pope Leo XIV

If we take veto-proof control of Congress - & we will, & after we impeach Potus & Veep & replace w/our Speaker, the NEW 1st law we pass must be that a criminal president can't pardon co-conspirators, retroactively. By the time it gets to SCOTUS, we'll have impeached the ones who'd vote against it.
