    Regardless of political leanings, if one of the steps in your master plan is “receive pardon from glorious leader once they return to power”, you might want to rethink what you’re about to do.

        Oh, I completely agree on that point. But let them fade into the dark where cockroaches belong and stop giving them free advertising for their gofundme accounts!

    I’d pay good money to see his face the moment he realizes that Trump isn’t going to help him

    Trump could have pardoned him on January 7th.

    Trump doesn’t give a shit about them.

    Also, Trump is about to get removed from the ballot in several states.

      I hope you’re correct.

      I wouldn’t count on the 14th argument. There’s going to be so many lawsuits flying around they’re going to have to put a jetway at the Supreme Court, and Alito, Kavanaugh, Thomas, and whatsherface will tie themselves in knots to force that shitstain back on us.

    If there weren’t a million reasons to not vote for Trump already, keeping this POS behind bars is just one more to add to the pile.

    Trump can’t pardon the shiv your cellmate sticks into you because you won’t stop talking about Trump all the damn time. Just put a little hydroxychloroquine on the wound and walk it off!

    I’m guessing, because he’s clearly a moron, that he doesn’t realize that former presidents don’t have pardoning power.

        Then why do his people keep blaming Biden for things? If Trump is president then he’s responsible for checks notes [current gas prices], for example.

      Depends how brain damaged you assume this guy is, but he either thinks trump will win in 24 or that trump is secretly the actual for real president. Probably the former but I wouldn’t bet on it.

    I don’t think he gets that Trump will NEVER be elected again. It’s possible for Trump to even wind up in a state or federal penitentiary; assuming that his defense fails to convince a judge.

      He’s almost certainly going to be the Republican candidate. There’s a very real treath of him becoming president again.

      I remember being one of the fools who thought he wouldn’t stand a chance the first time around.

      This time around I’m praying and I’m not even religious.

      I live in red country. I hear them every day. Teachers, lawyers, doctors, nurses, police officers, farmers, constructions workers, welders, even dirt poor disabled welfare recipients. They all say, “I can’t wait until Trump gets back in and fixes this mess.”

      The media they consume all says he’s innocent. The podcasts they listen to all cheer for the day his political opponents are jailed.

      Even with the recording where he pressured officials to find more votes. Even with all of the charges. Even with the republicans who come out and talk about his crimes.

      To them it’s all political theater from the left. It’s all a big conspiracy to take down the greatest man who ever lived.

      I’ve heard the words, “poor old Trump. It’s a shame what they’re putting him through, and he just keeps going because he loves America.”

      The threat is real. Please please please, don’t think for a second he can’t win.

        Please stop spreading misinformation. Donald Trump cannot win. The 14th amendment prohibits it.

          You are wrong and certain, which makes you dangerous. Unless convicted of these crimes, nothing is stopping him. Basically you are setting the bar so anyone can yell sedition in a crowded theater, and now no one there can be president.

            No, you are absolutely wrong. Trump HAS charges against him on both state and federal levels.

            The 14th amendment places no emphasis on a judge finding one guilty. Therefore yes; it can be that broad. We can show he did something; Congress, DoJ and a State would not be investigating otherwise.
