LaMouffette

(2,663 posts) Wed May 20, 2026, 09:31 AM Yesterday

I predict that the day before the midterm elections, Rump will resign to avoid a third impeachment and then JD "Rancid" [View all]

will immediately pardon him for any and all crimes Rump committed while in office. Between now and the midterms, Rump et al. will accelerate their grifting, including the selling of pardons to the highest bidder.

I know it seems crazy to think of Rump ever leaving the presidency willingly, but he does not seem to give a rat's ass about anything these days—as if he ever did care. That's why I think he will bail early.
