About that pardoning himself and his family: None of his family has been charged with any crimes. Trump hasn't been charged with any crimes. An impeached president pardoning himself and family?

A pardon is an admission of committing criminal acts to which you confess your guilt, and once pardoned for those crimes, a person waives their rights under the Fifth Amendment. Trump would then have no choice but to testify regarding said issues.

Trump is going to be sullen and angry at the world from now on. He’s not going to be concerned about helping others; he’ll be far too busy lashing out at everyone he can! Trump will only feel better if he knows others are hurting like he is. Trump will pardon himself and maybe, just maybe, some of his family members (sorry, Tiffany!), but I don’t see him being concerned about anyone else. They lost him the election, after all.

You know what I'm gonna miss most about Trump?

The constant lies and gaslighting of America? No?

The funny way he always tried to outline the shape of a women whenever he was speaking from the presidential podium.

Even during his coronavirus pressers?

Seriously! Check it out. :)

Okay.

People are going to die. You know what I want to do? I want to come way under the model. The professionals did the models. I was never involved in a model, but -- at least this kind of a model -- but, you know what? Hundreds of thousands of people, they say, are going to die.

Explains a lot about Trump. #Pathetic

Heh.

I hope it's clear to everyone that the text in [6] is actually my translation of Michele speaking in tongues.

Smash the delusion. ;)

Sorry about the religi-rant.

Nice rant, though. :)

Trump doesn't have to pardon anyone. He just has to resign in January and let Pence do it for him.

What kind of fool with any political ambition would pardon a president who was lawfully impeached? And who will pardon Pence?

As I said (emphasis added):

So how could a president thusly situated be lawfully pardoned -- by himself or anyone else -- for crimes as yet uncharged that could involve said related actions -- or the concealment thereof -- for which he was most definitely impeached? ~ Kick

So how does Pence or anyone else pardon Donald Trump for crimes as yet uncharged that might involve issues for which he was impeached? The Constitution worded as it is grants the president pardon power "except in cases of impeachment."

It's 2020 and high time the president's absolute power to pardon was challenged. I would like to read a Court's ruling regarding an impeached president having the power to absolve himself, his family, and his coconspirators of wrongdoing for crimes for which they have yet to be indicted. :)

"Meet the new boss

Poor Don seemingly has nothing else to say besides the utter asinine beliefs of his that:

* Parties same.
* Money bad.

"Nothing will fundamentally change."
-Joe Biden

Joe Biden was right about you, Don; nothing will fundamentally change about you because your worn out two arguments are nonsensical bullshit, as is your repetitive weak delivery. My point there is that anyone can quote anybody out of context to fit their agenda du jour.

Bill Maher provided a perfect example of the disconnect from reality we find here when he asked what is wrong with the 70+ million delusional people that voted for Trump.

Not content to take Joe Biden's words out of context to peddle his regular spew, Don attempts a twofer. Nice try... but epic fail.

What is it about the 70 million people who are still voting for Donald Trump, and we look at them and go, "How could you prefer him to what we're selling? What about him -- or what about us -- is so off-putting that you don't see that we're better." What's that answer to that question?

~ Bill Maher describing the Democratic agenda being preferable to the lunacy of Donald Trump

I don't know what's going to happen, but we have a stalker now, whether he's the president or not the president. He is the ex-husband who kills his family on Christmas Eve. Seriously. He's O.J., and he does not like seeing America driving around with Ron Goldman.

Perhaps I was just paying attention, but I'm not sure how you watched that episode of "Real Time" and came away with the idea that Bill Maher was a great mouthpiece for your agenda... he isn't even close. His point was exactly the opposite of your redundant prattling and spew.

No matter how much you want it to, it really doesn't make a difference if the poison is mixed in with Koolaid or Hawaiian Punch.

I will stipulate to the undisputable fact that you are hands down the board expert on Kool-Aid, Hawaiian Punch, unicorns that fart rainbows, pixies that frolic in the meadow (props to CW), and fairy tales about purity and trolls. :)

“How do we fix it and bring the country together? How do we make it America you want to live in? The only answer, the only solution is honesty. Let’s all stop lying. Lying about everything that matters, every day of our lives.”

I doubt his sincerity, but it followed KayLie McEnany's lie conference.

Loved that big Biden smile and semi-chuckle with just the mention of Pompeo's name ... twice, for effect. :)

Nope. You forgot the word troll.

I knew that you knew that I was having fun, but when I looked at it again, I realized that it looked like I was actually attributing those specific words to her. She's insane on a much grander scale that what I wrote.

I apologise again, I was going on the assumption it was a lampoon, such affrontery wouldn't go unpunished by me were it common enough to be seen as a trend.

That shit is like listening to your ten-year-old lie about breaking a porch window when you had to duck or get hit by the ball... Fingernails, long, unnecessarily sharpened fingernails down a blackboard.

My neighbour has a 'No smoking' sign on his front door, we don't. I have a 'religious bullshit-free zone-leave the lord outside' sign on mine. Everyone does.

Religion is a species of mental disability that can be cured long before is disables the reasoning centre of the brain. Keep it away from your kids, it clears up in the gene pool within a generation.

[28] That's a tough one.

I can't think of a single thing that evokes nostalgia in me from the Trumpian era, the last few days have felt like the 'meds' have finally kicked in and the noisy fucking crazy guy in my head has been silenced.

Trump represents everything loathsome about the 'Ugly American' stereotype, on Meth. Vainly coiffed to overdone, impossibly vain, loud, overbearingly pushy and brash without any perception that others want him killed painfully and removed.

:-)

BTW - Since Housewives of Coronavirus has been cancelled, I was channel surfing last night and I came across a televangelism program called Wretched TV. It lived up to the name. That level of honesty from grifters was bewildering. Could it be a new trend?

Maybe Short Fingers will name his channel Suckers TV.

I'm kidding ... it was pretty clear. :)

I still blame god and her earthly protuberances for allowing gullibility into the human narrative.

A prayer and a porkie pie will never replace probity as the nucleus of the human spirit.

This is where I reach for popcorn whenever right-wing dogmatists get to beaking off about their moral compass. There probably isn't a single god-knob within the Beltway that thinks Trump and his band of long-suffering lawyers have a snowballs chance with all the frivolous shit. All the religious sloganeering these hypocrites can muster for this Trumpian lie won't count for wet leg at the end of the day. I'm convinced people of faith are so comfy with telling whatever lie works because they pin all their eternal aspirations on the thinnest of premise's, why not add another brick of Kush to the fire, one can only get so stoned. I stumbled across a post on Facebook whose message was as simple as it was asinine; " If there's a gentile loving God, I know Trump will win this election and justice will prevail. "

Well, there isn't and she won't. It saved me the time explaining the finer details of the periodic table and its total command over all things everywhere always.

Speaking of gunsels, dimwits, and dunsels, I really enjoyed Guliani's presser at the Four Season's lawn maintenance, dildo emporium and mortuary service. The sweet irony that Trump's advocates channelled their inner Borat to find the ideal place to announce their moral indignation on his behalf. In all honesty, when I think of Trump, dildo's, assorted recreational rubber phallus and mortuaries always seem to coalesce effortlessly, as if they could without an eye being batted.

Sorry about the religi-rant, it was too early in the day for me to cope with, I'm useless until something is rolled and smoked that diverts my attention from bible-babble... Now if Faceballs and Twatter want to censor anything, I can suggest a starting point and can add censure at no extra cost.

I only wish your concluding phrase about what we will now have, "decency and stability" (in place of viciousness and mean-spiritedness) had included the word 'competence', but hey, we can't have everything, right?

True enough. :)

Trump doesn't have to pardon anyone. He just has to resign in January and let Pence do it for him.

BTW - I don't have a Twitter account. I don't really like it much either. That's just where Right Wing Watch posted the video.

Awesome.

He'll likely begin issuing a tidal wave of pardons, starting with (perhaps) himself and (definitely) all his family members.

Oh, I do hope Trump tries to pardon himself and his collective spawn. There isn't a Court in America that could interpret a "self-awarded presidential and/or family get out of jail free card" for crimes as yet uncharged as the original intent of the pardon power granted to the President of the United States in the Constitution:

The President shall be commander in chief of the Army and Navy of the United States, and of the militia of the several states, when called into the actual service of the United States; he may require the opinion, in writing, of the principal officer in each of the executive departments, upon any subject relating to the duties of their respective offices, and he shall have power to grant reprieves and pardons for offenses against the United States, except in cases of impeachment.

~ United States Constitution, Article II, Section 2

Donald Trump was impeached for actions he implemented and undertook in cooperation with accomplices both foreign and domestic in attempt to disqualify his most feared political opponent, which candidate he rightly feared facing.

So how could a president thusly situated be lawfully pardoned -- by himself or anyone else -- for crimes as yet uncharged that could involve said related actions -- or the concealment thereof -- for which he was most definitely impeached? Interesting question for the Courts; I cannot fathom why on Earth they'd bestow upon the president the power to relieve them of their own.

Thoughts to ponder. :)

Satan is a worthy adversary and we must understand his tactics and schemes. Satan wants to be the hero of the day, instead of God, and it appears that Democrats, socialists, feminists, anarchists, celebrities, environmentalists and other socially rebellious people would rather serve and honor Satan than God. Convincing Americans to believe and defend demonstrably false ideas is Satan’s greatest triumph.

There was civil unrest and riots in Heaven and God cast Lucifer out of Heaven. God created Hell for Lucifer and the fallen angels in order to contain their evil. Leftists have followed Lucifer in rebellion and consequently God has, at intervals, had to enlarge Hell to accommodate the multitudes of unbelievers. The righteous will perceive the beauty of Divine law and order as they peer with contempt into the depths of Hell from Heaven at the burning bodies and hear the weeping and wailing of the damned, tormented with fire and brimstone for all eternity. Their consciousness shall be ever aware of their torment. They shall cry, “My punishment is greater than I can bear”, but bear it they must, as the torment waxes worse and worse with the passing of the ages.

God is love.

Now, THAT is excellent news. :-)

Is this just a phase they're going through and half the country will eventually come around to accepting the outcome once more congressional Republicans and Republican governors do the same and are able to persuade their voters?

I have my doubts about that.

It was very reassuring, though, to see that president Bush made a statement congratulating Biden and saying that the outcome of this election was CLEAR.

In fact, this statement from a former Republican president was all the trigger that was required for signing off on letting the transition go ahead in terms of money, space, and the all important access to federal agencies, according to an expert on presidential transitions.

All I can say at this point is, thank the gods, best of luck getting through the next few months, and the very best wishes for the first term of a Biden presidency.

That last bit was an absolute joy to tap out, I have to admit. :)
