Question is -- is a self pardon legal? It would seem to be illegal for the obvious reasons, but with this SCOTUS, who knows?

“Let’s see, two ketchup packets, some mustard, salt, McDonald’s hamberder wrapper with Stormy’s phone number…fake news whore…oh wait, maybe this is…nope, that’s a non disclosure agreement that Melania still won’t sign…hey, Meadows how about you stop watching porn with Gym Jordan and help me find my f@#&ing pocketpardon”.

It’s a win win. If he needs it great, if he doesn’t need it great. It would be like having an insurance policy, you hope to never need it. But it’s great if you do need it.

Justice matters.

We know the psychopathic narcissist would never "admit" that.

..stave off DOJ prosecution and or to grift millions from people. The odious traitor along with his sycophants should have been arrested by now. Surely, if he's committed crimes he should not be allowed to run again.

His determination to stay in office eg attempted coup d'etat was for that purpose and that nonsensical DOJ rule NOT law that a sitting president cannot be charged with a crime and or indicted. It's a DOJ rule not law--should be changed ASAP yet with Garland who knows what he'll do.

Don't know about you but I'm so weary, exhausted with what ffg and his cohorts attempted--where people died on J6 and no one at the top [ eg ffg!] has been held accountable for their deaths, and the many the people including some 200 capitol police who sustained injuries that day. Correction not someone..I meant to say ffg#45..everything, everyone, all evidence points to him. He should be arrested, indicted.

Yet, here we are-- the culero is going to announce in July..were in July...so, he's free to continue with his lies, inciting violence, hate filled rhetoric of well every one really every fucking day. F#@#!
Evil, vile ffg, his ghoulish cabal incl GOP just give me asco! Asco is this..
