It's hard to think of any country which would do this.

It would really have to be Yurp, but between Burlesqueoni, Sarkozy, and GodKing Blair, I can't see it happening.

Also, it would have to be done in the US to restore whatever credibility it has left. So again - not happening. Much easier to accept the pardons and let the SCOTUS simper obsequiously.

In the end it's about president-as-totem. If you attack that, you're attacking the natural order - the one where the biggest thug takes everything, and has no responsibility to anyone unless they feel like being generous.

For all the nonsense about freedom and opportunity and hope, that's America's true red beating heart, and it's going to take more than someone like Obama to change that narrative.

I  know, but let me think positive till the bastards out of office.

And I definitely agree that it would really have to be done in the states to restore any moral credibility to the US government

Any idiot can face a crisis - it's day to day living that wears you out.
