Don’t get me wrong: I think entertainers are great, when they’re honest about it and don’t seek to run/ruin the damn country.

I still prefer the military firing squad scenario, but that would do.

I’d also like to request the trial be televised so we can watch him degrade like Phil Spector. Slowly the skin tint fades and the hair begins to become more and more of a tattered mess (worse than it is).

If Biden wins trump'll resign and pence'll blanket pardon him like ford did to nixon.

From what I understand, that covers federal but it doesn’t prevent states from going after him. Plus, he can’t get pardoned for crimes that he hasn’t been charge with yet, so there’s that to hope for.

Ford pardoned nixon for crimes he hadn't been charged with.

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu...

Well, without looking into it further, I can only hope that maybe the laws have changed since Nixon for just such a circumstance.

I’d argue that if that were to happen and Pence did give him a blanket pardon, they’d understand it would be political suicide not just for Pence, but for the entire GOP.

That being said, whatever the Russians are holding over the GOP might make them do it anyway.

Is my stream of consciousness showing?

From Politifact:

“Ford’s pardon ended any possibility of Nixon being prosecuted criminally. It covered more than obstruction of justice, however. It excused Nixon for “all offenses against the United States which he, Richard Nixon, has committed or may have committed or taken part in” during the period from January 20, 1969, through August 9, 1974. In short, Ford’s pardon covered any crimes Nixon may have committed between the time he was sworn in for his first term and the day he resigned.”

However:

“Under the Constitution, the president has the power to grant “reprieves and pardons” for federal (but not state) crimes, essentially wiping out a person’s convictions. The power is, as Trump says, “absolute” in that pardons can’t be overturned by Congress or the courts.”

There may be hope yet. If I’m understanding this correctly, in order for Pence to blanket pardon, he must specify the dates covered. If he covers a timeline before the Presidency, red flags galore would no doubt signal the deathknell of the current incarnation of the GOP.

It also doesn’t preclude the AG of NY or Michigan or Oregon, etc., etc. from going after Trump.

I admit I may be completely butchering this with wishful thinking, but I won’t apologize for dreaming.

That sounds more like an amnesty than a pardon.

Pardon him for what, exactly?
Be specific.

he aint much of a celeb either!
Maybe Fox will give him a tv show
