You will absolutely believe this: Trump considering pardon for "Joe Exotic"

[jmowreader]

"Attempted murder? It's not like he killed somebody."

"Joe Exotic" is apparently one of the "stars" of the new reality show "Tiger King," which another DUer has described as "Duck Dynasty on meth."

This individual, whose real name is Joseph Maldonado-Passage, is currently doing 22 years in federal prison for seven gross violations of the Endangered Species Act, a slew of other animal law violations, and attempting to hire a contract killer to murder one of his enemies. Four of his ESA violations are for shooting tigers dead, so...well, even if he hadn't tried to have someone whacked he's not what most of us would call a clean-cut all-American boy.

Apparently Our Great President believes 22 years is just too long to rot in prison for shooting four tigers and trying to have someone whacked, so he's thinking about pardoning this scumbag.

1. When trump loses to Biden

As he exits I wouldn’t be surprised if he pardons Sirhan Sirhan, Menendez brothers, BTK the woman strangler, maybe even El Chapo, all to own the libs.

3. I suspect something like this may happen...I dread it but we'll live, and scumbag will pay for...

doing something reprehensible like pardoning those who truly deserve prison.

2. Why don't you get back to work? Proving again that you're a lazy a&&, who doesn't even work.

No wonder you've had six bankruptcies.

4. Why does he have time to even contemplate stuff like this

This is one of the pricks favorite presidential powers. It’s the perfect thing for someone as amoral as him. When oh when is karma going to claim this asswipe? Seriously, it makes me doubt the existence of god or laws of nature or whatever.

Hitler blew his brains out, but took 50 million with him. I think trumps role model Mussolini suffered a fate he deserved. Beat to death by his citizens. I think they hung him by his dick though not sure where I read that and not going to take the time to research it. But I’d like to see trump end that way though his mushroom would never support his 330 lbs of blubber. Kind of went off on a tangent there, but really I wish he’d just die.

5. The actual fate of Mussolini was even more fun than that

Mussolini, his mistress, and 13 members of his inner circle were trying to escape to Spain when anti-government partisans captured them. The next morning they were taken out one by one and shot. Three days later, they were loaded into a van and driven to Milan. Once there, they were dumped out onto the ground and the citizens were allowed to kick at them and spit on them. When his assassins got bored with that, they were dragged to a gas station and hung by the feet from its canopy. Once there, people were encouraged to throw rocks at their corpses for several days. And finally, the whole crew was dumped into a mass unmarked grave.

In the case of Trump...okay, I’ll admit it: shooting Trump in the head and hanging his corpse by the feet from the roof of a gas station certainly does sound cathartic, but where would we find a gas station operator who could afford to lose the use of his pumps for three days while people were stoning Trump’s corpse?

Next question: The Constitution prohibits “cruel and unusual” punishments, which to me says a punishment can be cruel or it can be unusual and we’d still be okay, but it can’t be both. How many Trump Bund members do we have to burn at the stake before burning at the stake becomes usual?
