What about the two other children?

What about the grandchildren and their progeny?

The man is such a slacker.

Trump has no pets and the kids don’t either apparently so he won’t have to write any cross-species pardons.

What are the odds he tries to pardon the entire Republican Party except for Mitt Romney and the people who wouldn’t throw the election?

That thing I’m waiting for is for Trump to write himself a treasury check for $1 Trillion and $100 Billion for each of his children (theft) and then issue pardons for theft.

Oooh…that’s harsh.

I might have once felt somewhat sorry for her but ever since she has shown herself to be a willing minion to Loser-Daddy just like her older half-sibs, she gets nothing but contempt from me.

I don’t get it.
Why the pardons?

I’m astounded that pardons have become their saviour. I read that excepting the pardon isn’t an admission of guilt. During the last four years logic has been suspended in the WH but not the rest of the world.

They would in fact be admitting tacit guilt. Although they wouldn’t be tried and convicted, they would be considered scum.

I’m hoping that they become social untouchables and wither away desolate, poor and homeless. Give them a taste of their ugliness.

I’m not. They’ve held this card since day one.

The Damn Fool is a one trick phony; much like his vocabulary. Those few responses are predictable and easily manipulated.

Also, too. The NY absentee vote totals were released and hahahaha Biden won by an even greater margin. From Daily Kos:
As a result, Biden has surpassed 81M votes, has nearly a 7,000,000 vote lead over Trump, and Trump is now below 47% of the total vote (46.9% for Trump, 51.3% for Biden).

I also knew that once he lost, the pardons would flow like water. It’s one of the many flaws in our constitution.

“Per the Times, an investigation into the Trump Organization by the Manhattan district attorney, however, includes millions of dollars of tax write-offs, some of which appear to have gone to Ivanka Trump, although it’s unclear if this would be the underlying reason for the President to attempt to pardon his daughter.“

Trump can’t pardon his wretched daughter-wife Ivanka to stop Vance’s investigation. It’s not arising under federal law.
