Perfect phone call.

I wonder if Susan Collins still thinks Don learned his lesson?

Shocking development; shocking I say.

But nothing will happen. His supporters, including those in Congress, will still back him because they are spineless pieces of shit

He'll just pardon himself

Wait, this call was yesterday and not from a couple/several weeks ago?
What a pathetic, delusional jerk.

He will try to pardon himself for something after Biden is already president, and then we're going to have to debate whether or not the president maintains pardon power after their term has ended.

Ted Cruz will argue vociferously in support of Trump.

Republicans will act like all Democrats are idiots for not knowing that this was always legal, and possibly even accuse Democrats of setting the precedent somehow.

This isn’t going to be a slow news week, is it?
I haven’t thought about a post-administration self pardon but I wouldn’t put it past Trump trying it, although I think a self pardon just before his expiration date is more likely.
What a mess the national Rs have themselves in.

Which is why they should just let NY State nail him. Biden has enough of a mess on his hands.

he’s def gonna pardon himself

and i wonder if he’ll write-in that it also applies to state crimes just to make the courts have to work harder to figure it out

Anyone know who leaked the call?

He’s going for the insanity defence. Has to be.

So removal by the 25th amendment it is, then.

I'm really looking forward to Trump's inauguration day meltdown. I'm expecting something pretty special.
