US Election & Presidency

There's some interesting names on his pardon list - https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2021...-full-list

It's worth searching them, as most are nasty little cunts who should definitely be behind bars for their crimes, very few are like that idiot Lil Wayne (who should still be going to jail, but his is down to stupidity), or innocent/harsh sentences for very little, some have stolen a fuck ton of money or worse, corrupt until the end

He's also thinking about starting his own ''Patriot Party'', now that doesn't sound like a plan to go full on fascist dictator does it. FFS!

^^
Its hilarious to me that one of the last photos of trumps reign is of him and lil wayne... that pretty much sums up his whole presidential run

All he'll do is split the Republican vote The Democrats will be rubbing their hands.

That would be very risky. It's a legally dubious argument. If Trump gave secret pardons would they be regarded as properly issued? There's no precedent for this and if Trump tried such a thing it would end up in the Supreme Court.

When a new president takes over he walks into the Oval Office and on his desk is a letter from the outgoing president. I'm not sure if they all get published but I've read some and they were fantastic letters.
What will happen this afternoon?
I wouldn't be surprised if there's no letter but if there is one I would have thought it would be short because it's hard to write with crayons.

Trump flies out of Andrews airbase with the Sinatra tune 'I did it my way; blaring out of the speakers at the base.

I'm sure that we can find a more suitable tune.

There is a letter apparently, confirmed by a white house spokesperson.

Well whatever happens, there is a new man in the White House from tonight our time...wonder how long we will have to wait before we will the chance to say there s a WOMAN - as President - in the White House?

I always forget how much they waffle on. Just give them the keys to the fucking Whitehouse and let them get on with it
