Only if they’re willing to pay for it in its entirety. In advance.
Otherwise, go pound sand, assholes.
Perhaps he fears a violent retribution by Qanon Oath Keeping Patriots who feel as if their chains had been yanked.
Is it simply that blatant nepotism put them in positions of influence for the last 4 years?
I don’t see how SS protection puts you in a position of influence. Probably just keeps you from getting invited to parties.
Especially any with good drugs.
I have no idea which thread to put this in, but it’s the Pit, so any is fine.
I just talked to my mother, and she is so upset that Trump is gone. We agreed, once again, that we don’t talk politics.
I don’t even dare ask her if she really thinks that the election was stolen or not.
Yes–he doesn’t have to announce the pardons at all. They can just hold on to them until such time as they would need to apply them.
In my assessment, as a scholar of the pardon power, I believe that is the correct view: Although the framers imagined a broad pardon power, secret pardons are untenable, likely inadvisable and perhaps unconstitutional.
At the end of most presidencies, one of the last things a president does is issue pardons. Will President Trump attempt to pardon himself and his family? (The Washington Post)
The notion of a secret pardon is an oxymoron. The very concept of a pardon is that it is a public act, granting mercy to the recipient. An ordinary pardon would have no force or meaning if it were kept secret. Moreover, a pardon kept from public view would frustrate an essential element of the otherwise absolute pardon power: public accountability through political consequences. Without knowledge of a president’s pardoning decisions, neither Congress nor the public may effectively check their clemency actions.
Hah haahahahhh.
“They want to bring six other people along and are going to check out our house? Ummmm. No. Don’t like them anyway.”
Well, they can come, but they can’t use the bathroom in the house. There’s a gas station down the street.
“Well, OK, the six are welcome and have free use of all facilities. You two? The nearest gas station’s a mile that way.”
EDIT:
shakes fist at Thelma
Great minds, honey. 
Pompeo can go fist fuck himself. Worst Sec of State in my lifetime, and maybe ever.
The end of the 1957 film A Face in the Crowd seems seems an eerie foreshadowing of the end of Trump’s term:
Me I’m just happy to (I hope) never again have to hear that noisome prick vent out his blowhole.
The fact that some doubt whether they will hold doesn’t mean he didn’t do it. Trump is desperate.
If they are not in the public record, they do not exist. You can show me that piece of paper that you say you signed while president, but we can find no evidence to support your claim, so it is just a useless piece of paper. Well, maybe not entirely useless, let me take it into “the Reading Room”.
You forgot the co-author: “by Barron Trump and Claudia Conway”
They’d make a great couple! That should make their folks happy.
Unfortunately Johnny Ramone was a republican but he’s dead now so let’s enjoy the KKK took my baby away because fuck him, good playing guitar man. He was possibly the more tolerable kind of Republican who was just kind of self centered (he could do his thing fine, didn’t get people who couldn’t) and loved the flashy and fashy side of the US (and German) military. Just a charming selfish fascist…
Ringing ringing the president
To find out where my baby went (my baby is civility in politics)
Ringing ringing ringing the FBI (the FBI is Nate Silver)
To find out if my baby’s alive (yes, Biden was inaugurated)
It’s a crappy UK tabloid but I enjoyed this front page today:
It’s nice to wake up in the morning and know the country is right where you left it, not lying in broken shards where someone smashed it and left it while you slept.
