I spent all of 2016 confidently assuring y'all that America had not lost its cotton-pickin' mind and Trump would NEVER be elected president of this great land of ours.

I think I'll shut up and quake in fear in 2024.


Hahaha, yeah, the day I shut up will be the day I croak.

So he wants to pardon the people prosecuted for the last insurrection and he wants another insurrection if he’s prosecuted

More obstruction of justice. This is what happens when you continue to get away with it because of a stupid OLC memo, the cowardly Senate Republicans, and the Garland DOJ sits on their hands.

I started to get worried that it had in about May 2016. I went to bed on election night before it started to turn in his favor and spent the next three months quaking in my boots about what this might mean for America.

Oddly, I’m not worried about 2024.

Is DJT (probably) offering pardons for Jsixers a form of quid pro quo, or does his use of the word probably protect him?

Y'all may remember, ol' Wifehorn had (successful) surgery on Election Day in 2016, and was still hospitalized the following day.

The next morning, I was in shock, driving to the hospital in North Durham, and she was still kinda conked out from the anesthetic, but she managed to text me, "What happened?"


... and then Hitlery stole that and used it for a book.




She still owes us for that one.

Could you please make a mural of that and send it to me so I can hang it on my wall to point at instead of posting on SM?

we are not gonna be rid of that piece of wasted flesh until he croaks



get on with it

I. Just. Can't. Watch the videos, and I can't find a transcript that pertains to the "asking MAGA to do violence if he's arrested" part.*

If anybody knows the actual language he used, and can post it, I'd appreciate it.


*I have visions of Zombie Merrick Garland in 2025 saying "we just can't prove that he told that large army of insurrectionists to break him out--look, here's where he said he didn't want violence, so I guess it's okay."

This sad little paragraph is the sum total of his "call to violence." It isn't one, but, if you speak trumpanzee, it kinda is.

If these radical, vicious racist prosecutors do anything wrong or illegal I hope we are going to have in this country the biggest protest we have ever had ... in Washington DC, in New York, in Atlanta and elsewhere because our country and our elections are corrupt.

Thanks. I do speak gangsterese, so I get it.

If Trump is right about that then VP Harris can keep Biden president even if Trump wins the electoral college.

[Frater I*I]

If Trump is right about that then VP Harris can keep Biden president even if Trump wins the electoral college.

Just like Gore shoulda made himself POTUS....

Trump admitting that he wanted the election Overturned...

Lock Him Up!

[Kriselda Gray]

His being 47 is like his golf score, fantasy, or is that delusion?

Wasn't something similar said about him being 45? I have lost faith that the people in this country have any sense left, present company excluded of course. They will vote according to their basest instincts and whatever the idiot box has told them.

If I could emigrate somewhere, I would. In a heartbeat. But money, job, etc.

100% Agreed

[Suranis]

The stupid thing is that he is, again, showing that he is a complete idiot. If he did win again, he would NOT be 47. He would still just be 45. 45 just means you were the 45th person to hold the title, it has nothing to do with losing and then regaining the title.

He is just trying to be an Alpha man again by having a bigger number than Joe Biden, the man that beat his pimpled rashy ass.

[northland10]

If he managed to do a Grover, it would be 45th and 47th as Grover Cleveland was 22nd and 24th.

Consecutive terms remain the same number.

Here's hoping the Jewish space lasers can land a meteor shower on Mar-a-Lago while he sips his morning covefe.

That's... rather insane.

Actually, he's only the 44th person to hold the office. As others have pointed out, Grover Cleveland was the 22nd and the 24th.

It is a little insane to number them that way, but there's no other way to account for Grover's non-consecutive terms.

Trump Says He Would Consider Pardons for Jan. 6 Defendants if Elected
In a speech in Texas, the former president also urged supporters to stage protests if prosecutors in Atlanta and New York took action against him.

By J. David Goodman and Emily Cochrane
Jan. 30, 2022

CONROE, Texas — Donald J. Trump said on Saturday that if elected to a new term as president, he would consider pardoning those prosecuted for attacking the United States Capitol on Jan. 6 last year.

He also called on his supporters to mount large protests in Atlanta and New York if prosecutors in those cities, who are investigating him and his businesses, took action against him.

The promise to consider pardons is the furthest Mr. Trump has gone in expressing support for the Jan. 6 defendants.

“If I run and I win, we will treat those people from Jan. 6 fairly,” he said, addressing a crowd at a fairground in Conroe, outside Houston, that appeared to number in the tens of thousands. “We will treat them fairly,” he repeated. “And if it requires pardons, we will give them pardons, because they are being treated so unfairly.”
