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.

(744 posts)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

(94,302 posts)No State (even one with a Republican Governor or AG) is going to recognize a Federal Pardon of a State crime.
