Limits on what federal employees can receive. Basically anything more than a coffee mug, they either have to give it up to the government, or pay fair market value if they want to keep it.

I donāt think so. The Presidentās pardon authority is the closest thing to absolute power written into the Constitution. Itās never been successfully challenged (that Iām aware of), and the precedent for a preemptive blanket pardon was set by Fordās pardon of Nixon.
If Trump tries a self-pardon ā and I think he will, because why the hell not, it doesnāt cost him anything ā the WH counsel can just say he advised Trump that it was untested waters and might not work.

Iāve been convinced for days, despite pushback from naysayers, that Trump is eventually going to do something that almost everyone finds shocking, despite the level of numbness weāre all at after 4 years of his horseshit. We could all speculate what itāll be, but whatever it is itāll be a doozy.

Trump also nonsensically touted in a video he tweeted on Tuesday night that perhaps the next administration āwill be me.ā
Delusional until the end. Walk him to the Atlanticās edge and say, āGo. Start swimming.ā
Never thought Iād post something from this horseās ass:

Oh, Iāve never doubted that heāll try. Iām just more optimistic than you that his attempt will fall flat on its face.

My guess? Barr declined to participate in the inevitable self-pardon, not to mention for the rest of the family, the Trump Org and all of its component entities, Allen Weisselberg, Paul Manafort, Rudy Giuliani, and MBS.

Rather like Trumpās defeat, your disdain for her is āhistorically, mathematically, politically, and logically impossible.ā

Yeah. That new video that was posted yesterday is kinda menacing. He really believes all of his accusations.

Oh, but of course heāll say itāll take until November to do it, and that he has to remain in office while it is set up.

A President possesses a lot of power. For example, everyone in the intelligence and military community agrees Iranās nuclear program represents a threat, at least to some degree, in the near and far term. Would a commander really refuse the order to attack nuclear sites in Iran? On what basis? That there was no military justification? That it was an illegal order?
Thatās just one example of mayhem Trump could instigate and pretty much everyone would just have to bite their tongue and live with the goddamned consequences. What mechanism exists to stop that order?

Letās play along thenā¦
So he declares whatever from the WH, who exactly is supposed to implement such orders?
The FBI
The US Military Establishment
The Space Force
Local Police Precincts
Local Sherriff Department in such jurisdiction
Who will step forward to implement a certified COUP DāETAT against the United States of America?

Oh, Iāve been expecting an iranian adventure for a while. Would have plenty of support in the military for that. Wouldnāt help him stay in office, though. Would just be some fun bombing on the way out.
