1. And on to the Pence Pardon...

[Fritz Walter]

16. Wait for it.

With the combination of:
- His campaign and the national economy simultaneously tanking,
- Deutsche Bank's compliance with the NY AG's subpoena, and
- Many other mounting crises*,

it's just a matter of time before those in the inner circle persuade him to resign. Or the cabinet invokes Article 25. Then -- a la Gerald Ford -- Mommie's Boy will issue the pardon. I just hope it doesn't take one of many possible worst-case-scenarios to prompt them into action.

* Clearly, the current "first family," the RepubliCONs on Capitol Hill, and members of this benighted administration are not taking the pandemic seriously, apart from trying to figure how to either profit from it, or spin it to Canteloupe Caligula's favor.

2. The best thing they could have done for him was not let him run for president.

[Nevilledog]

3. I still think euthanasia should be on the table.

[lunatica]

4. For him or for us?

[Nevilledog]

6. Him!. I like us.

[DENVERPOPS]

44. Good One.....Luna nc

[orleans]

45. lol! n/t

[randr]

49. Last time I looked we are slowly being euthanized

[SheltieLover]

5. Absolutely!

Traitor!

[ClusterFreak]

23. Pffffhahahahahaaaaaaaa!!!!

[MontanaMama]

28. Now you're talking...

[DenverJared]

29. No no no no

Death would be too easy. He needs to spend time in the pokey and die there behind bars.

[not_the_one]

50. I want him to die behind bars. I WILL give him one concession..........................

ONE can of metallic gold spray paint.

[smirkymonkey]

35. Now there's an idea!

Although I would rather see him suffer.

[smirkymonkey]

37. Now there's an idea!

Although I would rather see him suffer.

[HubertHeaver]

42. So THAT'S why he's pissed at Oregon!

He's afraid they are going to Shanghi him to Oregon and have him put down.

[trueblue2007]

54. it is French Revolution time. Like Louis and Marie Antionette!!!

[Caliman73]

11. Problem is that his kids likely have no empathy or love for Trump either.

They certainly didn't have any modeled for them. His family saw opportunity. They are all transactional like their father, not thinking about the human cost but about what they themselves can gain.

[Lonestarblue]

20. Plus, they're all enjoying using the power of the US government to enrich themselves.

I think they’ll all hang on to the bitter end unless Trump has a stroke (or perhaps that’s another) that makes it impossible for him to continue.

[TNNurse]

30. No one cares about him as a human being. If they did they would protect him

from making a fool of himself. They are in it for the money.

[leftieNanner]

7. The Key Sentence in that Post:

"IF his children and senior advisors cared for him............"

They obviously don't care about him. They care about money and power and see him as a means to an end.

Ivanka likes to play white house.

[Marie Marie]

13. I think about the fact that they don't even seem to be embarrassed by him.

Shows you where their heads are at.

[leftieNanner]

14. Good Point

And to think that we haven't actually SEEN him at his worst. His profane rages in the Oval Office have become legend. Nobody seems to think there's anything wrong with that.

Sheesh.

[Evolve Dammit]

17. They think he's a God, as does his base. Nothing else penetrates the cranium.

[Brainfodder]

8. That The Daily Show mashup though?

Kudos Trevor Noah and crue!

Dems could just run parts of that 48 times per day on Fox News until Nov. 3rd 10pm?

[leftieNanner]

15. Especially since the commentary by Fox et al

is about Biden. They have been trying to paint him as a befuddled old man. Juxtaposed against the REAL befuddled one is just genius!

[paleotn]

9. Steer him to....

and over a 1,000 ft cliff.

[wishstar]

10. The family and inner circle are too busy grifting and skimming taxpayers and campaign donors

I doubt the kids and closest advisors would let him resign because they are raking in too much money and need to arrange more big loans to stay afloat too before he goes down.

[flibbitygiblets]

12. None of his enablers are going to "steer him" anywhere. They'll prop him up like Weekend at Bernie's

and ride that rotting pumpkin as far as it will take them, with no care for anything except enriching themselves

[Evolve Dammit]

18. that's pretty much what they did with Reagan, and it continues. Like your analogy

[smb]

32. Weekend At Donnie's nt

[crickets]

36. Spot on. "ride that rotting pumpkin" - wow! nt

[jayschool2013]

19. The other not-so-funny part of this

Fox (not) News personalities and hosts are saying these things about Biden, so their audience is convinced that Joe is a doddering fool who's lucky not to be ushered directly into a memory care facility. It's infuriating.

[Xipe Totec]

21. He's going in for dental surgery to remove an impacted hemorrhoid. nt

[chia]

22. How can they not see this? I'm never going to understand such blindness

[Ford_Prefect]

24. They're all about the money, the grift, and the power that protects them.

No one who wants to continue breathing would suggest that the Don steps down from running the Family Businesses. Its that kind of family.

Pence is a willing dupe but only useful while Donald is the figurehead. Once Don is gone those behind him have nowhere to hide and nowhere to go. They'll prop him up until Doomsday and a week after that.

[George II]

26. Interesting, we said almost the same thing almost simultaneously!!!

[George II]

25. The thing is his children and senior advisors do NOT care for him, they only care for....

....money and power. Money more than power.

[nattyice]

27. Ha, notice he used "Mr." instead of "President".

[yaesu]

31. his children and senior advisors could care less about him just like he could care less about them

he's surrounded by sociopaths just like him.

[Cha]

33. Tweet reply.. ".. they don't care about him.. "

39. Gee- I'd hate for this to be shared all over the interwebs.

Sure hope no one will post this.

[SayItLoud]

34. There will be a point

where the traitor accepts he's not going to win and his only out is to get a pardon from Pence. He still believes from all his babbling that he can self pardon but that's not proven and without doubt it's more risky than a Pence pardon. I've accepted that he will get some sort of Federal level pardon so the only recourse to get him and his crime family is at the State level. Oh how I hope NY and California go after them all and not for white collar fine crap but jail time, break them financially and emotionally. I want them all held accountable and some might say I want R E V E N G E !

[lindysalsagal]

38. How Shakespearean that the first deathblow from the party in power comes in a tweet.

He deserves nothing better.

[BobTheSubgenius]

40. And if they cared for him just a little less, they would steer him down a flight of stairs.

[warmfeet]

41. He was all of these things when he announced his candidacy.

He is a fucking train wreck with toxic waste on board. Millions of lives weigh in the balance. What has fucking changed?

[McKim]

43. It's About Time!!!!

It’s about time that some important people started calling for Mr. Trump’s resignation before he kills more people with his irresponsible and irrational decisions. It is past time for a mass drumbeat from across America to rid us of this scourge!!!!! If this were France, he would have been gone a long time ago. Americans are too damn passive and now we see the results of being part of a culture that is hypnotized by TV, Internet and Popular Junk Culture into inactivity that could be the end of us all! Wake up, America!

[Lucinda]

46. KNR

[bucolic_frolic]

47. Dementia often has a sudden major blow-off event

Going to the store but driving to a city 300 miles away. Anger or violence at people close to them or at objects like furniture. No idea the parallels for people in positions of power. But power is power - once removed. There is no power unless others carry out the power. Hopefully the benevolence of souls will prevail. After all, it's not Jonestown.

[zentrum]

48. They don't care about him.

They keep him propped up because he's profitable for a narrow sector of this same rich family. They need to eke out what power he still has. Resignation would be too humiliating and hurt the brand too much. And if he wins....booyah! From their point of view.

[Stuart G]

51. According to the web site, this has gotten 3,200,000 views as of today...Aug 8, But this has just..,

begun...This will get 32,000,000 views when it gets around..and Yes, it will get around. That takes some time..
Chances are after Rachael plays this Daily Show clip on her show...then it will get around..

[Stuart G]

52. I hope Rachel Maddow plays this cliip on her show..Then 10 times the people will see it.

Also if she plays it, then people will pass it on and pass it on and on.

[bucolic_frolic]

53. If America is lucky there will be no debates

What is there to know that is not already known?
