I hope I won't be drinking coffee when I read the headline.
Beavis, Butt-Head, and Princess Ivigula. Probably Jared too.
Pardon, pardon, pardon, and pardon. Tiffany may be safe, but who knows. Barron is probably ok, but then again, he is a Trump.
Then there is Assange, and all them Russians in the Mueller Report. Parscale? God knows what he stole, and hid.
Then Trump will need to pardon all the rest of his buddies for all the crimes they haven't been charged with. Gonna have to think deep on this. Thousands of crimes.... Maybe millions.....
Pardon-palooza. Imagine all the trees that will have to be cut to make all the paper for all the pardons. De-forestation on steroids.
One funny thing in a raging sea of Covid Carnage.
Pardon-palooza.
Ivanka lost the $26 million. The kids ran a charity fraud, and lots of tax fraud. Man the pardons will have to be amazing.
Trump the greatest pardoner ever!
The State of New York is ordering extra server capacity for their Trump Organization, and Children investigations. Those should be good. Poor widdle baby crooks.

That would be interesting. We might learn a lot about all the wrong-doing in his administration by who he pardons.
Think about this - everything he's done in life he's screwed up.
He'll probably screw up these pardons somehow too.
Upon edit: Think about this. Can you imagine the numbers of people waiting in line requesting pardons from him?
Practically the whole Repug Party.
He might set a record for the numbers of pardons he winds up issuing.
I could see him bragging about being the president that issued the most amounts of pardons ever.

(3,527 posts)but you cant issue preemptive pardons, can you? I mean dont you have to be at least charged with a crime before a pardon can be issued?
OTOH, didnt Nixon get some kind of blanket pardon against any crimes he may have committed while in office?

(25,241 posts)Trump has got to be thinking about issuing preemptive pardons. He's got to cover-up all the wrong-doing and loose ends of his administration.
If he leaves people out that were partners in crime with him - those people will be in a position to spill the beans on him.
Think about the long line of people that could be implicated in his crimes that are worried that after he's out of office they can be found out and charged. I could imagine that they have asked him for a preemptive pardon.
If he issues preemptive pardons they might uncover crimes we don't know about now that were committed on his behalf - with or for him. Think about the investgations that can result from that.
If he doesn't issue preemptive pardons - those people can bring him down after he's out of office.
He's got to remember now all the crimes he's committed or were committed on his behalf. If he forgets or leaves some out - those people that worked with him could or will turn on him to save themselves.
There could be a whole new legal industry developed out of the pardons he issues or doesn't issue. Investigations could go on for years. Think of the books that will be written.
We'll never rid ourselves of Trump.
