So about that Presidential pardon thing and privatized prisons

Sorry, guys and gals. Presidential pardons don't cover everything.

New York, Virginia, and other states in which some of Trump's pals committed crimes can prosecute those crimes and lock up the offenders. Even if they rolled on their Orange God, the states don't give a rat's ass about that presidential pardon thing. They don't hand out "Get Out Of Jail Free" cards.

Sooo, Jared, Don Jr., and so many others who may be joining you behind bars in the not-too-distant future, listen up.

There are so many of you that a new prison may have to be built. Hopefully, one of those "privatized" prisons. You know. One of those places that Republicans like yourselves believe is a product of "the magic of the market place" and should "pay for itself."

In reality, it's a pay-for-play place where you have to lay out bucks, or other "favors," for decent food, or water, or humane treatment. But, hey, you are people who believe in this kind of shit. Enjoy.
