Pardon all the things!Pretty sure he is playing his hand expecting to get dealt a get out if jail free (pardon) card.
We can't have rich white men suffering now can we?
I have serious doubts that the current congress would impeach the President* under any scenario.Such pardoning would create such a legal shitstorm. However, it seems clear to me that a president who pardons himself may avoid criminal punishment but this would be an admission of guilt and pretty much a quick and clear path to impeachment and removal from office.
Hopefully congress will look very different in a year than it does now. But I have no confidence in the American voter to pull their heads out of their asses.I have serious doubts that the current congress would impeach the President* under any scenario.
This. One thing that has become abundantly clear is that a moron is much more likely to double down than admit they made a mistake.Hopefully congress will look very different in a year than it does now. But I have no confidence in the American voter to pull their heads out of their asses.

"Great news Mr. President*! A bunch of High School kids just died!"
so what's the over / under on Mueller's investigation ultimately converging with the FBI's investigation of whether or not the NRA accepted donations from Russians that may or may not have ties to the Kremlin?

My inclination is to still say "no". Because:will it flip?
I have one to add from our earlier discussion. Paul Manafort. Best case scenario Manafort is spending the rest of his life in jail, if he doesn't get a bad case of polonium in his food. Mueller is already throwing the book at him. Pretty sure the new charges are because Paully isn't playing nice and Mueller is tired of his shit. He's going to die in a cell, it's just a question of how/when, and if he throws Fifth Column Don under the bus too.
so you think he's holding out for a pardon?My inclination is to still say "no". Because:
Or holding out to keep breathing.so you think he's holding out for a pardon?
eh if daddy vladdy wanted it done, it won't matter if he flips or not.Or holding out to keep breathing.

Because otherwise he might forget. For fuck sakes.
At least he didn't write it on his hand.Because otherwise he might forget. For fuck sakes.
FTFY...surprised he didn't have "don't taste air with tongue" on the crib sheet.
The small section covered by his tiny hands...........surprised he didn't have "Nod and try to look concerned..." on the crib sheet.
The President just ordered flags at half staff for the death of Billy Graham. You’ve got to be fucking shitting me.
can't die off fast enough.That base that is dying off from old age, lung cancer and opioid addiction.
can't die off fast enough.
GCS.I think the statistics would be interesting, but I would put money on Trump supporters having some of the highest mortality rates. Based only on age, I estimate that if the 2016 were held in 2018, trump would lose a full percentage point due to mortality.
