Discussing blanket pardons draws us off of the real issue, the concern that Trump will pervert the criminal justice system & use DOJ as a political tool, which is forcing the Biden administration into these considerations. Don't forget why we're here.

So my two pumpkin pie making hints are these
1. Use unsalted Kerry Gold butter for shortening in your pie crust and
2. Substitute a dulce de leche (caramel) for the sweetened condensed milk part of the recipe.
You will never bake a pumpkin pie the traditional way again

The next time a doomer tells me that Trump is now an all-powerful dictator with no guardrails to stop him I will politely remind them that he could not even get 50 senators of his own party to confirm a Cabinet pick.
