Donald Trump has promised to pardon his White House staffers, reported the Wall Street Journal’s Josh Dawsey in an exclusive report on Friday.
Dawsey, the veteran DC reporter, cited “people who have heard his comments” in the bombshell report revealing that Trump is asking his staff to operate with a sense of impunity.
“I’ll pardon everyone who has come within 200 feet of the Oval,” Trump reportedly told staffers “in a recent meeting to laughs.”
They can’t be pardoned if people get upset enough and remove them
A pardon doesn’t magically suspend physics, that’s for sure.
Bullet goes in, bullet goes out. You can’t explain that
That would require the repubilcan party to have a spine, and they gave that up a decade ago to better lick trumps “boots”
If impeachment goes to trial in the Senate and it looks like it might not go well for him, he will make sure everyone is pardoned before he is removed from office.
republicans will make a show of it but ultimately they won’t vote to remove him. They’re complicit and they’re absolutely wallowing in the fact that they can do whatever they want as long as they convince everyone it was his idea.
What are the odds of people getting “upset enough” about this, but not about putting your shitter full of top secret documents and getting away with it scot-free?
The interesting thing about child rape, is that it activates the completely unhinged QAnon-esque people, who actually do commit violence with glee. Though I disagree with them on many things, we just happen to be aligned on “child rape=bad”. That crime creates a visceral reaction that “stealing and selling state secrets” doesn’t quite emit.
So I feel like Epstein is the one thing that could actually get through to many in MAGA cult.
Okay, but do QAnon folks associate child rape with Trump or his administration? A tiny majority maybe, but most are still mainlining the Kool-Aid.
Most Christians are vehemently opposed to many things approved of in the Bible, but it doesn’t seem to bother them much.
Too bad the majority will find a way to justify it rather than admit they supported everything they hated. Calling it now, “Trump had to rape those kids, how else could he have gotten in with those people to take them down?”
It’ll always be a game of percentages. There will always be some amount of hardcore cult members, but as worse and worse things come to light, the new info will pick off sections of MAGA one piece at a time. We can debate percentages, but I think a critical mass of MAGA would leave if they had crystal clear proof of Trump raping children.
One source I’m using is The Necessary Conversation youtube podcast, and while it’s just two data points, it give the regular person a really good insight into the cult.
