Yet another thread on how to shut down an argument with a rabid, mouth breathing Trump lover... [View all]
On the legality of the Special Counsel and the president's power to pardon one's self (thereby crowning himself God and King of all that can be seen)

Simply listen to their unhinged and 'unhindered by the constraints of reality' argument. When they have finished and are attempting to wipe the spittle from the corners of their mouth, simply ask "So, you would have afforded these powers to Hillary Clinton as well concerning the email scandal should she have been elected? And what about Bill? Should he have pardoned himself to end the inquiry into his consensual relationship with Miss Lewinski?"
If their answer is yes, they most likely will be embarrassed into silence. If the answer is no, simply point out they are now supporting the authoritarian/dictatorial style of non-representational government they have spent their life arguing against. (You may have to use smaller words so they can comprehend...)
I would love to hear a synopsis of any responses should anyone have a conversation such as this.
