Current Affairs The 2020 United States Presidential Election

[Khalekan]

The decision whether or not to pardon him could be the hardest one the new administration faces. He and his inner circle of course all belong in orange jumpsuits but there is an argument that letting him fade in the ether would be for the greater good. If he goes through a trial he'll still be in the media every day calling his lunatic supporters to arms, creating unbelievable headlines and over-shadowing the president as he tries to get the real work done. If they let him just isolate himself in Mar-a-Lago, shutting his despicable mouth for the rest of his life, his cult of personality will slowly be forgotten.

It's going to be so hard for Biden that one.

Can Trump actually be “pardoned” if he has not been convicted of owt?

Your choice for lunch seem pale-in comparison not only to Colombian dishes but to @carlos21 roast. TBH, you should thank me from letting you see the light when desiring such bad savory lunches.

Its Natilla for Death. T’is the season.

I have read that he is going to try to pardon himself before leaving office. This has never been done before so if it happens the court system would have to weight-in on the constitutional legality of such action. However, even if he were to pardon himself he can only do so for crimes at the federal level no for state crimes. Currently one of the cases that could land him in jail is in New York and he won't be able to pardon himself at that level so hopefully he will be behind bars at some point.

LL talking about ignore yesterday and now giving me a finger today.

I can’t believe I am even thinking this. But it’s almost like I’m not wanted around these parts.

You’re making me expose myself to the horror of introspection.

You’re causing me pain LL.

I get a tad annoyed at suggestions we throw out the votes of millions of elderly/disabled/shiftworkers.

Steer clear of that and we’ll be fine

When she walked on in white my wife burst into tears.

History's important.

The amount of twee ‘I’m shaking and crying with happiness’ tweets ive read actually makes me sick. People think this is some sort of light switch moment where all the bad stuff will stop and uncle Joe will take us off to the land of happiness and lollipops.

Things like the Trump balloons being outside his victory rally make me cringe hard. The lessons haven’t been learned, nor will they be if that’s the prevailing attitude.

It can’t be ‘we did it!’, it needs to be ‘what’s next?’

It annoys me too LL. I don’t like saying it. Whole thing is a mess. And I don’t care if it’s Republican votes being scrapped. That’s not the point. They can moan about there Republican mail votes been scrapped all they like but we need clarity.

Those people are relieved they've stopped in its tracks a dangerous era in American history where fascism stood a real chance of taking hold if Trump had prevailed and unleashed the forces who support him over another 4 years.

There's nothing 'twee' about expressing relief over that.

Not really.

But I think you underestimate how worried a lot of people who live here were about how much worse a 2nd Trump term would get.
