I don't think there are that many big names he'd even care about pardoning at that point unless it's part of a deal with Russia in exchange for sanctuary.

The interesting one will be if Trump tries to pardon himself before leaving office, nothing else would really be shocking to me.
I figured he'd just resign (or something similar) and let Pence do it.
Over 70,000 new coronavirus cases today, and this is what the administration is fixated on -- public opinion is pretty much set.
It's rather more curious why Lindsey feels the need to show up at the 11th hour and justify a commutation in front of God and Country like that for lil' ol Roger.

I think Stone gave Trump no choice, if I get sent to jail, I turn. Trump did what he did to save his ass, no matter how bad it is politically
This is my fear. He's going to try going full criminal again.
With Trump going full Arkham Asylum to win the election, I can only imagine whatever balls to the walls illegality that will transpire will be enough to land (our poor, mistreated, first time offender) Stone in hot water again, if there's any law left to uphold after this is all done.
That Netflix documentary was pretty popular and he was all over the news during the 2016 election
Outside of actual rigging of the elections - which would mean the end of the United States of America - I don't think any of this resonates with anyone. Coronavirus is still killing everything and they're not doing anything to stop it.
People who don't follow politics don't really know or care about Roger Stone. We're all freaks who follow this stuff but a lot of people might have seen or heard of it like two times in total.

I suspect, if he does that, that he'll do it during a rally and make out like it is some kind of joke while also being able to later make the claim that he was serious.
And with next to nothing being done to counteract this, how exactly is the narrative going to change for Trump? He's tanking his reelection chances and literally taking tens of thousands of bodies with him.
And yet the seven day rolling average went up again. Fridays are usually lower than Thursdays.
Man, if trump fires the most trusted person in America on the pandemic it will be akin to shooting a whole kneecap off willingly. It's all bets are off on how low his approvals will be. On how massive of a lead Biden will gain.
But its trump, so it's going to happen.
Yeah. At the rate this is going, Trumpo is probably itching to fire Dr. Fauci for making him look bad. And he probably won't care. Trump seems resigned to losing the reelection.
I've said it in the inauguration thread. He's gonna make a final diplomatic trip to Moscow and just never come back
Trump doing an unconstitutional power grab to distract from an abuse of power in freeing a friend who lied to Congress and had dirt on him, while he heads off to golf again during a pandemic he ignored which has killed 132,000 Americans.
Just another MAGA Friday.
Just another MAGA Friday.
If Trump loses in November, it'll be interesting to see if he finally gets banned from the platform altogether. The excuse they've given up to this point as to why he hasn't been banned - despite his seemingly endless list of blatant violations of their TOS - is that he's basically immune from their rules because he's the President, and therefore his Tweets are inherently important. Regardless of how racist, misogynistic, inflammatory, or xenophobic they are.
Now, the actual reason he hasn't been banned is because he almost single-handedly saved Twitter from irrelevance and is worth far too much traffic and money to them. But they'll no longer have their bullshit excuse for not ditching him once he's a private citizen again.
And you know if he loses in November the dude is just gonna let lose with a tweet-storm to end all tweet-storms. His inevitable meltdown in the aftermath of a loss in the general election is gonna be a sight to behold.

Honestly, if he started doing that he'd be exposing himself to criminal liability for bribery, so that wouldn't be the worst thing in the world.
40% of americans believe in alternate truth, where US' standing got elevated on national stage. I want that number to be in single digits.
I knew there were corrupt intentions behind this move by Barr earlier and this explains it. He will shut down the investigation into Trump's inauguration committee
Arguably, one of the big reasons millenials lean Dem so much is because the only Republican presidents they've known are Bush & Trump.
Chris Hayes sounds like all of us. We've had enough of the Republican Party.
I think that's a well supported hypothesis. Older Millennials will remember the first Bush, too. That's not the best track record.
The older Bush had a ton of bad policies, but I think to Hayes' point, he at least had a functioning government.
Dubya and Trump (and the party following them) have shown much less ability to do so. The nuts and bolts of their administrations will be remembered as corrupted, incompetent, know-nothings.
To make up an example, I'd expect even GOP presidents to competently plan and carry out a simple event without any bad soundbites, catastrophes, or incompetence. Just a plain old event. Trump can't even do that right.
I think Trump makes GW look like a political genius.
that's how bad Trump is.
People really need to stop thinking this race is going to tighten. We are 2.5 weeks away from tens of millions of people beginning the process of losing EVERYTHING once the UI boost is gone. Coronavirus is getting worse. Some real shit is going to start to happen in August coupled with more and more states dealing with outbreaks.
Leading up to the election is going to be like April/May in the northeast, but this time spread everywhere in the south.

I'd had assumed that people would look at New York and use them as the sacrificial lamb to learn and develop strategy to halt the spread of coronavirus. The South apparently thinks New York is located in China and didn't think it would spread.
Abbott is starting to do something. But DeSantis is still doing absolutely nothing, don't know what is in that guy's head but apparently he bought into the idea that Florida weather destroys coronavirus like a lot of conservatives did. Maybe it might come true but I'm not betting on it lmao.
Only way it's going to tighten is if the economy improves. And with Texas looking increasingly likely to enter an actual economic shutdown because coronavirus is getting so out of control, there's no hope of a sharp recovery.

Manchin, Jones and Sinema need to take the lead on hammering Barr since they all voted to confirm him.
Then we can attack all the GOP Senators that stand by their votes confirming him.

Roger Stone was targeted by an illegal Witch Hunt that never should have taken place. It is the other side that are criminals, including Biden and Obama, who spied on my campaign - AND GOT CAUGHT!

Hey Mittens.
Thanks for voting to remove Trump from office earlier this year, but we're going to need you to do a lot more.
It's weird how real this shit actually is. I don't even live in the US but I had a post on Facebook that was an article on Hillary wondering about running again (with a puke emoji) or some bs three years ago and weird fake accounts of people I'm not friends with somehow like the post like once a week ... and then the accounts and the likes disappear. My profile is private so I really don't understand how it happens
