In accepting their pardons they acknowledge their crimes

Yes and yes. 


Wherein lies the limit?  Can Trump come in and say "I am pardoned for anything I do in the next 4 years".  Why not?

There is no limit. He's worked to set it up so he can pardon himself, and you and all of MAGA will applaud while twisting yourselves into pretzels to explain why Biden was wrong and Trump is right for doing it. 

 

For me it boils down to this, America has re-elected the worst President in my lifetime, he is the ultimate con man, and he conned America and I only expect the worst from him, so nothing that happens over the next four years will surprise me.

Nah, I don't think pardons should be applicable to one's self nor be encompassing for any and all crimes that may or may not have been committed over a range of years.  The person should have been tried and convicted and the commutation specific to the grievances.  Anything else is 3rd world *uckery if Biden did it or Trump does it, which he hasn't yet, and probably won't but Biden has.  

 

Let's go with what we know and have already experienced.  The party of Fascism is out of control and the people have spoken, they do not want 4 more years of this corruption.  Less than 2 hours...  let's hope your guy(s) don't mess with the transfer of power and go away peacefully.

The only real limit on Pardons is pardoning yourself but that is more of an undecided legal issue rather than a prohibition. 


Biden just said he called jimmy hoffa & Vito Corleone to pardon them. 

Well, Biden pardoned himself, just as expected.

He pardoned some family members that were frequent targets of the GOP clown shows but he did not pardon himself.

Can a Liberal tell me why the January 6 committee deleted all evidence, video data, audio data, and terabytes of written evidence prior to releasing their report?   Talk about corruption.
