Of course it won’t happen, but it would be pretty funny if someone were to start a GoFundMe with the purpose of purchasing a pardon. If it went far enough to draw indignation from Leavitt, that would be great. ---

How about a GoFundMe to get him one of those Gold Card US citizenship that 45/47 has been spruiking? ---

That might actually be achievable! If trump isn’t spruiking\*, he’s dead or asleep. \*my new word ---

**Moderating:** This thread isn’t actually framed as a clear _P&E_ topic, though there’s a lot on the main subject that could be laid out as a good topic. I’m closing it at this time, @Son_of_a_Rich please PM me if you’d like to have it re-opened as-is in the Pit (which is also not a bad fit as currently constructed), or feel free to start a new thread on the subject with a more clearly defined discussion. ---
