Prediction----Gerald R. Pence------Our 46th President [View all]

Here's my prediction:

This inquiry into the legality of pardons is not some academic exercise by that fucking nit-wit Donald Trump. He's making these inquiries because he knows what's coming down the pike.

He doesn't know one way or another whether or not he can pardon himself, and he can't leave it to chance.

Trump can't take the chance that his son-in-law and his off spring can face criminal charges. He will not, under any circumstances, release sensitive financial information about his businesses or his taxes. He knows he has to pardon Manafort, Flynn and many others who may turn informant to save themselves.

Trump will pardon dozens of people, including family and close associates, all in one day. Then, he will resign with the understanding that Pence pardons him.

I can just hear Pence now, "our long national nightmare is over".

Wouldn't August 9th be a nice day for that?

2018 will be a Republican, political bloodbath and Pence will be replaced in 2020 by a Democrat.

Maybe 43 years from now the Navy will name an aircraft carrier after Pence, too
