I rest my case.
You were apparently born well after the heyday of Big Hair bands.

Breaking: in a series of tweets, Justin Amash says impeach.
Yeah. Sure. Trump did some ****ty things. Worthy of impeachment? I think the bar needs to be set very high to reach the point of impeachment, so that things like this aren’t politicized. ****ty things should be decided at the polls.

It’s different from how most presidents pardon unsavory people. Obama. Bush. Clinton... At least they had the moral sense to wait until their last days in office.
Question, not directed at you, just for my information...
Who the hell is Justin amash and why are we supposed to give a **** about his opinion over any other person on the planet?
He is a never-Trumper Republican congressman who's been in a muti-year verbal feud with Trump. He's thinking of running in 2020 as a Libertarian. Naturally, as a Republican, this draws lot of PR from the MSM. You can expect to see him on Sunday morning and other talk shows.
Presidents are going to pardon unsavory people. It happens. I'm actually more concerned about pardons that have enduring effect on an institution (i.e. military). The president pardoned a guy who killed a suspected.... I'll say that again SUSPECTED terrorist that allegedly planted a roadside bomb and killed serval GIs. Was it the guy, probably, but they didn't have enough evidence to hold him. So he was ordered to be cut loose. Well the pardoned person in question, took the suspected terrorist out into the boonies, had him strip naked, and decided to interrogate him. Suspected terrorist ends up dead. How does one reconcile pardoning such a person?

Go through the list of people presidents have pardoned. You'll find equivalents all else equal. I think the moral position is to oppose all of them rather than singling out one because it happens to be a president you hate that did the pardoning.
The term "nevertrumper" is retarded. Probably anti-trump is more descriptive.
Pardoned, commuted or rescinded setences of convicted criminals.
Gerald Ford - 409

Uhhh.... a cursory look tells me that list is incorrect. Wildly incorrect.
