There are slight variations in published lists of Donald Trump’s enemies, but this from Politico looks about correct: [From Liz Cheney to Jack Smith to Mark Milley, Trump has a lengthy inventory of people he’s pledged to punish](https://www.politico.com/news/2024/11/06/trump-retribution-enemy-list-00187725) I’m thinking that President Biden should give a blanket non-specific pardon to everyone on the list except himself. The reason for not pardoning himself is that the evident selflessness would make what Trumpworld is planning look, to those in the middle, even worse. However, I am not sure of my opinion here. How would issuing more preemptive pardons impact the confirmation chances of Trump’s most extreme appointees? ---
