Had a horrible thought last night

[Le Roi de Pot]

I imagined that Trump pardoned the Kenosha shooter...and he would pardon anyone like him ..inviting the KKK types to shoot and kill at random and Trump would pardon them all after the election.

I have seen nothing in Trump psyche that would prevent him from doing it. .. I just pray the thought doesnt cross his diseased mind.

1. Don't think he can pardon on state charges

That would be up to the Governor of the particular state.

3. The fucking Idiot Magats won't know that

They will believe any shit the fucker says

4. What his supporters read or likely don't read is inconsequential

The fact remains that murder is a state crime and therefore a state issue.

2. Hope he doesn't read DU!

5. trump can;t pardon any one charged with a state crime, doesn;t work that way

6. Perhaps people here need to take a civics course...

The Kenosha shooter did not commit a Federal crime, and cannot be pardoned by the President.

8. When has reality/legality ever constrained Trump from spouting nonsense?

You are missing the point when I say that he can dangle a pardon ( irrespective of whether he has the right to pardon it or not)

The feasibility of the pardon is not the point .. His white nationalists will believe it and start shooting - that is all that matters to Trump. He doesnt give a Flying Fuck whether he can actually pardon them

10. "I have seen nothing in Trump psyche that would prevent him from doing it"

You didn't fret about what he might say; you contemplated that he would do it.

[Le Roi de Pot]

11. Do you really think he has any sense of impulse control?

[brooklynite]

12. It doesn't matter what he WANTS to do....

No State (even one with a Republican Governor or AG) is going to recognize a Federal Pardon of a State crime.

7. Trump will be out of office before the kid goes to trial...
