F47 is too selfish to veto anything with GIS name in it, except a prison cell and the Epstein files!

Nah, he did the right thing. No naming buildings for live politicians. It's bad enough they get credit for highways. Come to think of it, every mile of highway should be named for a different member of the road crew.

where it all started going bad... freedom for the Traitor Nixon..

One could argue we wouldn't have President Trump if Nixon was never pardoned. Do bad shit, get consequenced.

No pass, no post office.

I agree. I suspect that the late Ted Stevens from Alaska would have wanted nothing to do with MAGA either. His little scandal toward the end of his life seems so quaint now. He was great friends with Democrat Daniel Inouye of Hawaii, and Joe Biden gave a eulogy at his funeral.

Respectfully, a former president in the dock would have been a nightmare of epic proportions. Plus, with a pardon comes an admission of guilt. At the same time, Trump has set the stage for reconsideration as regards any according of such grace to him.

That last paragraph is on point...

The, "Gerald Ford pardoned Richard Nixon to establish GOP criminal impunity federal post office," has a certain ring to it?

Ford was never regarded as one of the brightest bulbs in the Republican party. HIs pardoning Nixon & bringing this sordid chapter to the nation's politics to a close was most likely done in good faith on his part. Alas, he circumvented another important element of the American legal system, justice.

The act itself may not have been great, but I’m certain Ford’s motivations for it were pure.

Naming anything after any particular person can always be problematic. We are still scrambling to remove Cesar Chavez’s name throughout our region. Happy Farmworkers Day!

LBJ said that Ford played football too long without a helmet...🤣🤣🤣

His single biggest mistake, pardoning Nixon.

When the GOP still had some integrity.

Nope. I’ve an issue with any president who wants to name things after themselves.

I understand how you feel. I wasn’t happy when he did it, but came to believe that Nixon was told he’d be pardoned so resigned. The only sure way he’d leave office.

Yeah, no republican after Nixons southern strategy has had an ounce of moral character.

Nixon should have named a DMV after himself. Or a stretch of highway in hell

Even at that young age, I was massively pissed off when Ford did that. Stupid, stupid, stupid!

Yeah, the pardon for nixon was not a cool move but this one almost made up for it! trump delusionally thinks that his name is going to stay on all the things that he thinks he owns! The only places that his name will stay is as the "Most Corrupt public official EVER" and the bottom of the urinal!

You can see where this is heading currently too. If the fascists lose the dems will pardon all of them "to heal the nation".

If Nixon had gone to prison we might not be here today

At the time I was glad for the pardon because I was so sick of Nixon & Watergate dominating the news. In retrospect it would have been better to try and convict him.

I’m cool with naming whatever prison trump lands in, after him.

Gerald Ford got a bum rap as a clumsy dolt from the relentless mockery by Chevy Chase in the first season of "Saturday Night", as it was known then.

Sewage treatment plant.
