    The painful ironies of the MAGA crew.

    And then Fatfuck will pardon him again on the perjury charges.

    I will note only that Paul Manafort remains unpardoned and in prison. Corrupt use of the pardon power is also an impeachable offense. My guess is Trump is saving pardons for himself and his family should the need arise after Nov. 3, 2020.

    The way FATUS and the GOP treats women is beyond horrifying.

    The final act of his presidency, whenever and however it comes,* will be to grant himself (only) an unconditional and unlimited pardon for any federal criminal offenses he ever may have committed in his life.

    The final wave of the dick.


    He'll hand out pardons to a very very few of his minions as well as his family, but most of them can go hang. One of the outstanding features of his narcissism is he doesn't owe anybody a fucking thing; everybody owes him loyalty unto death, but the second anybody burns up their usefulness to him, he can throw them to the fuckin' dogs and walk away laughing. So most of his minions will rot in prison.



    * Unless he pushes the button, of course.

    Not sure if we've discussed this before here, but, can he pardon himself?

    I've finally come around to the belief that Trump needs to be taken out behind the barn and shot like the fucking three-legged cur he is.

    Fuck him, and fuck his GOP enablers. A bullet for one and all.

    Unknown. Would have to be decided by Supreme Court. But again, a pardon is also a de facto guilty plea. Trump would have to testify truthfully about his crimes either in trials or Congressional hearings, without being able to use the Fifth Amendment. He'd probably begin by lying about his middle initial.

    "Common sense" says a president could not pardon himself (or his immediate family) but the constitution does not say that.

    Among the things which will have to be rectified with authority in the Presidential Integrity and Conduct Amendment which will have to be passed in the next several years.
