Any chance Pence and Co. have all the 25th paper work filled out and ready to go should he try? I can see why the GOP writ large would want to prevent any such pardons.

Holy shit, a talking head just said this on the TV so I'll try and find a linkable source in a moment:

On the subject of pardoning himself-it was proposed that doing so opens himself up to civil liability as it would be seen as an admission that he did something wrong. This made Trump mad and led to him suggesting that he won't do any pardons because if he can't get one for himself no one else can have one.

That is the most Trump thing...just...okay, looking for a link.
"...I have been gravely disappointed with the white moderate. I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in the stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Council-er or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate who is more devoted to "order" than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says "I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I can't agree with your methods of direct action;" who paternalistically feels he can set the timetable for another man's freedom; who lives by the myth of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait until a "more convenient season." -MLK Jr.

I mean, if Pence isn't holding that shit over his head to keep him in line for the next 9 days I'd be surprised.

I'm not denying that, but perhaps Capitol Hill has a lot more psychos than the left is willing to admit.
Like, who thought of that "amen" and "awomen" thing? Or the complete abolishment of words like "Mom" and "Dad" in their household? Or the Green New Deal?
Trump isn't the first psycho nor the worst psycho to occupy the Oval Office. Get over it. Start focusing on larger issues, like the commies in Congress, and those who advocate for free everything. Those guys are the larger issue.

On the upside, if we play this right, we could get a citizens united killing amendment to the constitution agreed upon by both the moderate left and the far right.

QAnon supporting congresswoman Lauren Boebart is facing calls to resign.

Keep in mind that she's a Trump supporting gun nut and high school drop out who owns a gun themed bar in Rifle, Colorado that's defying Governor Polis' Covid orders. She's literally a caricature of rural Colorado from a Mel Brooks movie or South Park.
