Enough of this pardoning crap. Every single state with standing should prosecute and civil suits should rain on him until he drowns in them.

If the couch humper pardons it he should be treated like the scumbag he is every minute of every day forever.

There's probably international charges, as well. No way the rest of the world will pardon him!

I May Be Going out on a Limb with a Chain Saw, But Here's a Prediction: [View all] MineralMan Nov 14 OP

Krasnov will die proclaiming his innocence. gab13by13 Nov 14 #1

I don't know. I've always imagined a "Weekend at Bernie's" scenario where they prop Trump up as he rots. Vinca Nov 14 #2

Isn't that Katcat Nov 14 #21

I think he will resign also. Too many things happening that show he is incompetent and, of course, a liar beyond OLDMDDEM Nov 14 #3

A pardon won't stop the State prosecutions Bluestocking Nov 14 #4

Well, perhaps you're right about that. MineralMan Nov 14 #6

Argentina has a villa waiting. rubbersole Nov 14 #52

and it only cost Trump $40 billion of taxpayer funds DBoon Nov 14 #56

Argentina has an extradition treaty with the United States Wednesdays Nov 14 #68

I'm with you on the Arabian Peninsula... slightlv Nov 15 #122

He'll be protected in Florida... hunter Nov 14 #19

Absolutely MorbidButterflyTat Nov 14 #84

He looks terrible lately. I think you could be right about resigning for health reasons. beaglelover Nov 14 #5

He does, doesn't he? MineralMan Nov 14 #7

He has, true - soldierant Nov 14 #118

Lately? MorbidButterflyTat Nov 14 #87

Plausible but not so fast? imanamerican63 Nov 14 #8

A Self Pardon Is Sketchy at Best. Not Sure Enough to Rely on. MineralMan Nov 14 #10

Right, butttt! It is Trump? imanamerican63 Nov 14 #14

He can try to declare Martial Law all he wants, MarineCombatEngineer Nov 14 #16

I won't believe until I see it. He will take us all down with him if he can. themaguffin Nov 14 #9

I don't think he can do that. MineralMan Nov 14 #11

"Once he loses the support of enough Republicans in Congress, he's done" LudwigPastorius Nov 14 #78

They'll have to sign his resignation using the Autopen, then spirit him away, drugged and in a straitjacket. sop Nov 14 #12

Not looking good at all pat_k Nov 14 #13

When even Bo-Bo is smart enough to put distance between herself and the kiddy diddler... Attilatheblond Nov 14 #58

We could see enough getting off the train for a veto override. pat_k Nov 14 #106

Some GOP officials will likely use an override vote in their next campaigns Attilatheblond Nov 14 #117

Or perhaps he'll drink a nice cup of tea some day... Talitha Nov 14 #15

He'll bluster and bully his way through Retrograde Nov 14 #17

I want him gone in whatever way works, but hamsterjill Nov 14 #18

Don will not obnoxiousdrunk Nov 14 #20

"Don," eh? Sounds like you know him well... MineralMan Nov 14 #25

No, I think that might have been a play on words. As in Mafia 'Don.' n/t PatrickforB Nov 14 #89

Oh sure he will! He's a TACO. No one knows cowardess as well as he does. Nobody in the world knows it like he does. marble falls Nov 14 #28

It will take a lot more than a pardon. We know he can be bought. We know he'll want the biggest golden wiggs Nov 14 #22

Oh...forgot one thing. Even though he hasn't read Catch-22, he'll want us all to be wiggs Nov 14 #23

Remember... GiqueCee Nov 14 #31

Perhaps he will resign to stop the Epstein investigation Keepthesoulalive Nov 14 #24

Would Trump resigning, stop the investigation? karynnj Nov 14 #92

The senators and congressmen do the bidding of their benefactors Keepthesoulalive Nov 14 #98

Can't pardon Orange Dickface of non Federal crimes. marble falls Nov 14 #26

I doubt he'll resign. indigoth Nov 14 #27

Agree - I don't think narcissists resign womanofthehills Nov 14 #34

Probably love the spectacle of another impeachment trial leftstreet Nov 14 #44

But, but, but... GiqueCee Nov 14 #29

Yes, they are. However, they're also not as serious as federal charges. MineralMan Nov 14 #30

My Answer: Who Cares? MineralMan Nov 14 #35

If trump does resign for" health reasons," JD will be issuing a pardon LetMyPeopleVote Nov 14 #33

Yes. Just as I said. MineralMan Nov 14 #36

Nixon/Ford homegirl Nov 14 #39

My guess is odins folly Nov 14 #50

Hopefully before he razes the West Wing. TommyT139 Nov 14 #37

Trump has been homegirl Nov 14 #38

Yes, he is that, for sure. MineralMan Nov 14 #41

I don't think in his demented mind he will ever give up the presidency. GoodRaisin Nov 14 #40

I don't think even he could pull that off, frankly. MineralMan Nov 14 #42

The obvious question is who is going to stop him? GoodRaisin Nov 14 #111

We shall see oh wise one. You did give me an idea for a comment to Orrex in the a.m. twodogsbarking Nov 14 #43

Wise one or wise guy? I'm never sure... MineralMan Nov 14 #45

You can be both and you are. See. twodogsbarking Nov 14 #48

He is a narcissist and will never admit guilt. kellytore Nov 14 #46

Not necessarily. He can just transfer blame and quit in a huff. MineralMan Nov 14 #63

Or a minute and a huff... PopArtMonkey Nov 15 #130

Normally I could see that but Trump never signals quitting or not being a perfect being. underpants Nov 14 #47

He does have a pretty thick veneer on him. MineralMan Nov 14 #49

Not necessarily. Seinan Sensei Nov 14 #121

I wish I shared your hopes. Gimpyknee Nov 14 #51

my question is jaymac Nov 14 #57

Repubs are thinking, "If Vance would just hook up with that Kirk woman we might keep the cult united." -nt CrispyQ Nov 14 #81

He will have to be dead before he is gone in my opinion Beringia Nov 14 #53

See, I don't think he has enough moxie to tough it out. MineralMan Nov 14 #55

We shall see Beringia Nov 14 #119

Sorry but unless he strokes out we are stuck with the pedo Pres for the next few years. Nt yaesu Nov 14 #54

no matter the date he will hand it to - Nigrum Cattus Nov 14 #59

The excuse might be to spend more time with his family.... rzemanfl Nov 14 #60

Nobody would believe that. MineralMan Nov 14 #64

Both parts? rzemanfl Nov 14 #67

You are correct. The sons' involvement in American Bitcoin Corp is just one of many grifts. John1956PA Nov 15 #129

If the midterms result in a big blue wave Deminpenn Nov 14 #61

Maybe. But why would Vance need to pardon him? Or want to? Ocelot II Nov 14 #62

Hmm... MineralMan Nov 14 #72

Whether Vance might want to risk Ford's fate would depend on how far Trump has fallen by then Ocelot II Nov 14 #77

Trump has committed so many crimes that there's no way he can remember them all to pardon them away. W_HAMILTON Nov 14 #65

Good point! MorbidButterflyTat Nov 14 #97

I like your optimism 🤞 CentralMass Nov 14 #66

There will be no resignation. Ever. Buckeyeblue Nov 14 #75

Nah. He will just say, MineralMan Nov 14 #79

Is your chainsaw gas or electric powered? PJMcK Nov 14 #80

It's a Stihl. Guaranteed to start on the first pull. MineralMan Nov 14 #82

Would Trump trust Vance enough to actually relinquish the power? JustABozoOnThisBus Nov 14 #85

Can't he or hasn't he pardoned himself ? And he wouldn't admit to health issues JI7 Nov 14 #86

I think he is incapable of that degree of trust (in Vance, in anybody). RockRaven Nov 14 #88

I am gonna Traildogbob Nov 14 #91

I suppose it could happen -- it did with Nixon -- but it's certainly not going to happen in the next seven weeks, rsdsharp Nov 14 #93

Nope. My dollar is on him riding this out, WestMichRad Nov 14 #94

This sounds interesting... babsbunny Nov 14 #95

I don't think Trump will last more than 6 months. mercuryblues Nov 14 #96

My prediction is similar to yours but involves a colossal spiral instead of a chainsaw. BluesRunTheGame Nov 14 #108

Obtaining a pardon from Vance could motivate his resignation Martin Eden Nov 14 #109

Health reasons may be real. My step-daughter nurse practitioner gives her opinion that he ain't gonna be 3Hotdogs Nov 14 #110

I'm not sure Trump would ever agree to the pardon stuff. GoCubsGo Nov 14 #115

You're following conventional theories of human behavior. Safe as Milk Nov 14 #116

Maybe but he's a full blown narcissist Javaman Nov 14 #120

He will never voluntarily give up the grift JoseBalow Nov 15 #123

Everything about trump--especially the 2025 part--has been so beyond belief... C Moon Nov 15 #124

Double pardon? Pachamama Nov 15 #132

Sure. Why not? MineralMan Nov 15 #133

I see there being a scenario as you described and there being some kind of agreement between the two in advance Pachamama Nov 15 #135

If it's bad for Trump, I'm good with it. MineralMan Nov 15 #136

Yeah. He has become a liability due to his mental illness and dementia. travelingthrulife Nov 15 #134

He will NEVER resign biocube Nov 15 #138

I think this scenario is pretty much how things will all go down. Texin Nov 15 #139
