Sounds like the desperation of someone who doesn’t have the sense to know when to lay low.
I think it is because the virtual DNC is now the headline news, and not him.
Ooh. Me! Me, me, me! Pardon me!
Yeah, he’s going to pardon himself and hope it works.
I don’t
Probably himself. Either that or Jizz-lane maxwell.
So there’s a pool over who it will be?
I say Leonard Pelltier, I hope he wins.
I think it will be Squeaky Fromme.
I’ll raise you a Charles Manson!
Sorry, it’s Putin.
Ross Ulbricht.
Maybe he found another war criminal…
Didn’t he die a few years ago?
Did someone remind him that Emperor Palpatine is a fictional character?
it was not Flynn nor Snowden
Louis DeJoy? Ghislaine Maxwell? Kim Jong Un?
(No, I know none of those make sense, so they all seem likely candidates.)
Yeah, given his coyness, he’s doing his usual PR bullshit that he’s done over and over whenever he feels the need for attention, and/or to distract from something else. (This is Trump at his most “clever.”) Usually his inevitable announcement is a total anticlimax, so maybe he’s actually going to announce he’s pardoning someone obscure, knowing that the fevered speculation about who he’s going to pardon will garner more news attention than the announcement itself.
Mumia Abu–
Shit. I’ve been sad and angry about that guy for so long, I just can’t joke about it.
So…he’ll gladly pardon someone Tuesday for a hamberder today?
Nation’s worst toddler concerned he isn’t the center of attention.
I’m raising a Charles Manson right now! We’re testing the nature v nurture theory,
