global1's JournalCould Trump Be Called To Stand Trial In The Hague?......
What if he pardons himself or is pardoned by Pence?
I think a case can be made that he is responsible for the deaths of 300,000+ Americans and counting.
Overheard This While Gassing Up My Car Today....
There was a guy on the other side of the pump aisle and he was talking very loudly on the telephone. He was gassing up his pick-up truck.
He was talking to somebody that was telling him about the My Pillow product. He sounded incredulous as he repeated what whomever he was talking to was saying.
What I was able to discern is that the My Pillow has some wired in nano-electronics in it that are used to brainwash MAGA's. These nano-fibers are undetectable and they transmit messages to the user while they are sleeping.
The guy kept on saying "No Way" and "Really"?
The last thing I heard him saying before I collected my receipt and drove off was "That explains why the My Pillow guy and Trump are so close.
I still don't believe what I heard - but I heard it. I don't know if this guy was just pulling a prank or if he really believed what he was hearing. But this is 2020 and we just lived through 4 years of Trump's antics. I can almost believe anything these days.
I Don't Know If This Has Been Addressed - But I Haven't Heard An Answer To This Vaccine Question ...
I'm 72 y/o and considered high risk due to some underlying medical issues.
How will I know when I'm up for a vaccine shot?
Do I just present myself at some facility that is giving the shots when they say seniors like me are next in line?
OR
Will I be contacted by someone (who?) that I should go to X place and get my shot?
I'm just not sure if it is my responsibility to just go get the shot or if I'm going to be contacted and told as to when and where to go when I'm eligible for the shot?
My Theory As To What Trump Is Really Bothered By With Biden's Win.....
It's the electoral vote count of 306. That was the number of electoral votes that Trump got to win in 2016. He was very proud of that number and he proudly spoke of that every chance he could. "I got 306 electoral votes." He really touted that number.
What is sticking in his craw now is that Biden beat him with the same number of electoral votes 306. He lost his bragging rights.
I think Trump will be content to get even one state to be overturned. That would reduce that 306 number of Biden's and restore Trump's bragging rights in his mind.
Trump just wants the bragging rights to say that he won the presidency with more electoral votes than Biden.
Biden would still win the 2020 election - but he will have won it with less electoral votes than that of Trump in 2016.
Has The Post Thanksgiving Covid Surge Kicked In Yet...
We're now approaching the Christmas/New Years/Holidays season. If we couldn't convince people to protect themselves at Thanksgiving - what are we up against with this Holiday Season? How bad is going to get?
What Comes To The Minds Of The Repugs In Congress When They Say That Trump Pardons Could Backfire?..
They must have something in the back of their minds that say to them - Trump's pardons could backfire on him?
I want to know in what ways they think it could backfire? Or are they just thinking that the Trump pardoning would have some effect on each and every one of them in terms of their future electability.
I'd Like To Ask Trump A Question And A Follow-Up.....
The Question: Have you committed any illegal acts over the last 4 years in your presidency?Knowing Trump we can almost predict his answer. He will say something to the effect that he's been the most 'legal' president ever. However he says it - he will deny that he's committed any illegal acts.
Now
The Follow-Up:
So Mr. Trump if you haven't committed any illegal acts in the 4 years of your presidency - why do you have to issue a self-pardon?
Can Trump - If He Pardons Himself And Gets Away With It......
run for president again in 2024?
The pardon is for federal offensives he may have committed when he was president. Why would you want to put a person that has accepted a presidential pardon back in the White House? It doesn't make sense.
The same goes for Donald Jr. If he accepts a presidential pardon - it would be for federal offenses he may have committed during the last four years that his father was president. I would be an admission that he's committed federal crimes. Why would you want to put such a person in the WH?
Hypothetical ?: If Trump From The Start Thought He Could Use Pardon Power To Exonerate All...
who he asked or had commit illegal acts during his presidency and he told these individuals from the start that he'd pardon them so don't worry - could any pardons he grants or have granted be invalidated?
For Example: Don't worry Ivanka - go ahead steal money from the inauguration fund - I'll pardon you before I leave the presidency.
This would be a deliberate action on his part to commit illegal acts and a conspiratorial action with whomever he discussed pardoning.
He would have been knowingly violating his oath of office as he began his presidency. Would a violation of the oath of office of the presidency negate any pardons he would attempt to grant?
How Many Of You Here Think Trump Started His Presidency With The Thought Of Pardons In Mind?.....
I believe that Trump went into this presidency with the thought process that he's going to push the envelope on everything he could even if it would be illegal or unconstitutional because at the end of his presidency he will just use the power of the pardon to excuse his misdeeds.
I would almost bet that he passed that sentiment on to others in his administration. Don't worry. Go ahead and break the law. I will pardon you before we leave office.
I'm wondering that if it could be proven that that was his thought process going into this - that it could invalidate any pardons he gives?
The MSM is talking about pardons for Jr., Ivanka, Eric, Jarad and Rudy. I wonder what's going through Pence's mind right now. Wouldn't you think Trump would include Pence in his listing of pre-emptive pardons?
