Gosh, I wonder if he ever really lost access to the world’s worst web service — or anything else — while he was a guest of the republic.
Seriously wondering if any of the chuckleheads who have received pardons fully understand the implications of accepting these pardons.
[Most likely not.]
They’ve just had their beliefs confirmed that consequences are for the little people, so I doubt that they’re worried.
Hopefully he does not fall out a window 7 times and land a knife tip pointed skywards with each accidental fall.
He wont be laughing when he is compelled to testify, the pardon having eliminated his legal jeopardy and 5th Amendment rights.
Then, he’ll have the choice of: A) testifying truthfully, B) being jailed for perjuring himself, C) being jailed for refusing to testify. Hmm, I’ll take 1 of B, and 1 of C.
Christ, what an asshole.
Trump pardons should come with a free case of covid.
At this point they’re so close to Trump that they must have already caught it.
It’s like Richard Pryor used to say. Justice? Just us.
Seriously? You think that will ever happen? He’s already plotting with Russia or Russia controlled Ukraine or the Saudis or someone to undermine Biden and profit. The American Oligarchy is just getting started.
Hmm. Manaport tweeted to Trump “Words cannot fully convey how grateful we are.” Probably a coded reassurance of remaining quiet…
What a snivelling, obsequious, sycophantic little wretch! Just Trump’s type. Knowing little about the USA legal system, could not these pardons be challenged in a court, or is there some constitutional lock-in that says Trump (or whoever is the incumbent) has the last word? He normally thinks he has, anyway, but perhaps a court ought to decide!
Christ: “What an asshole!”
Is his new handle @jailbird?
