> [@wolfpup](#): > > If Trump is elected, I fully expect this fine gentleman to apply for – and to receive – a full pardon. Unlikely. Pardoning a child pornographer is a bad look, even among conservatives, and this guy has no value to Trump anymore. “Ralph Shortey? never heard of him”. He’ll be left to rot in prison. The only reason Trump would pardon the Jan. 6 rioters is that doing so supports the narrative that trying to overturn the election was a noble act. ---

Remember last month when Trump tried to proclaim that he had “agreed” to debate Harris on Fox News in front of a live arena audience in Pennsylvania? And then when she refused to play ball, he “announced” that the arena would instead host a live town hall on Fox News? Well, that was supposed to happen tomorrow. Guess what there’s absolutely no mention of on Fox News’ website? ---

My prediction: Trump will be 45 minutes late, Hannity will toss him some softballs which he will completely ignore in favor of his standard everyone-is-so-mean-to-me routine, and Fox will cut away as soon as he starts rambling about “rigged elections” so they don’t get sued again, and Trump will take to fake Twitter afterward to proclaim that it was the greatest town hall in the history of everything and was watched by more people than the Moon landing, the series finale of M_A_S_H_, and every single Super Bowl all combined.
