This is a joke, right? He’s already pardoned himself … with his mind! Some people think there’s some kind of ritual you have to go through, but that’s wrong. If he considers himself pardoned, he is. Since he’s still the President. Amirite?

If he can pardon himself, I hereby annoint myself Pope. I want every Catholic here on the Hive to start sending me the money you drop in the collection plate. I’m also reinstating the selling of indulgences. Please contact me if you want to get into heaven.

He wouldn’t need to pardon himself. He’ll be the forever president.

I have your anthem of praise, Pope Crone:

It’s not the canonical version, but it’s good 'un.

We should not stop objecting to NBC (which gave him his lifeline as star of The Apprentice) giving him airtime after being found liable for rape and having staged a coup. He should be barred from their network.

He’ll just have Attorney General Ken Paxton dismiss the documents case and confess error on the J6 appeal, then run out the limitations clock on the fundraising fraud.

While all that’s happening, he’d better watch his back. If his VP is someone like Kari Lake, she’ll be meeting secretly with his cabinet to 25th Amendment his ass as being unable to serve.

trump pollutes the airwaves with his nonsense - he didn’t order surveillance tapes destroyed, he would never think of pardoning himself, etc. trump adores showmanship and publicity - have him do a lie detector test on live television; that would be of value, not this bs. shame, shame on meet the press for having him on, and the media for amplifying his lies - have we really learned nothing in the years trump has been destroying our democracy? he should not be booked for one additional interview until he has testified under oath.

You‘re far nicer than I would be. Most, if not all, of my adjectives and nouns for FatAss would need bleeping, even here at TPM.
