See, that's the thing: I know it was against any arbitrary charges that were known to come, but as you say - MAGA won't hold themselves to reason, so rational preemption won't work. And the actual crimes Hunter was convicted of during that time were absolved. All after Biden Sr avowed he would not pardon him.
I don't have children, so I cannot fault his devotion to his kid, but I still feel that justice was not (and maybe could never be) had, and that the position and responsibility of president and presidential pardon were severely cheapened as a result.
Do good fathers exonerate their children for corruption?
I recognize that Hunter was a target of right-wing lawfare, but I maintain that a blanket parden of all 'nonviolent crimes' for over a decade is the wrong tool for the job.
That would only hurt the Democratic Party if it split at approximately the same ratio as the Republican Party. If half of Republicans split while only a tenth of Democrats split, the results favor Democrats majorly.
That said, we don't have anywhere near enough data.
There can be no way to know what we could have learned:
Do different regions have specific manufacturing techniques? Were regional techniques based on local or Roman techniques primarily? How did soldiers decorate their personal equipment? Would it have been grandious (as wealthy samurai) or were they kept small to display the unit as a uniform front? Did the changes to individuals' equipment get adopted quickly (like a new phone does today) or did they stick with their grandfather's sword as long as it was "good enough"?
We may have some ideas of all this and more, but more data points means more patterns to recognize. And people love pattern recognition.
Does this mean the old Winchester Arms placards that showed all their offerings are home-shrines? Or are they meant for taking on mission with the faithful?
I disagree? They made millions of gladii during the period those were the height of technology. We have almost no historic pieces because everyone just kinda left them to rust and recycling. Time takes its cut every year no matter what, and will take more should we let it.
I was born in _arch, btw.
