  this is why nothing can phase the hard MAGA crowd. they simply could care less what these people have done, its all about the standard talking points they agree on (trans people, immigrants, etc) and until democrats grow a spine and start legitimately going after this nothing will ever change. even if they sweep this election + the next…

  And here he goes... Trump said he would be willing to protect Elon Musk and his staff if Democrats take control of Congress after the midterm elections this week. The president was asked by “Pod Force One” host Miranda Devine about rumors of Musk being investigated and having his assets seized. “It’s talk. But if it is talk, we’ll have to protect…

  In my home country this is exactly the case. Head of state and head of government are separate, and there are rules for pardon, like self interest, bribe, etc, so even if given, it can be revoked if the person giving them is found problematic, which actually funny enough is happening right now. The leaving head of state, who just lost the…

  It is deeply perverse that the President has the power to pardon anyone who commits crimes on his orders. I would like the Roberts Court to explain to me how that is what the Founders intended.

  I hate to be the guy that points out that a President preemptively pardoning blatant criminals is a tradition dating all the way back to George Washington and the Whiskey Rebellion pardons in 1795. That said, I still think these assholes need to be held accountable for the livelihoods that they have destroyed, either to make a buck or to cover…

  AXIOS: “Trump vows to protect Musk, floats pre-emptive pardons.” Aren’t y’all tired of this? The oligarchy is playing in our faces. Please vote. 🗳️

  Then the states need to step up separately and bring charges for interfering in elections. He can’t pardon those

  If you pardon the aides, they can be compelled to testify. Pardoning doesn't protect against impeachment, and impeachment can happen even after you leave office. Seeing the aides forced to testify against the former cabinet would be awesome.

  I doubt the last sentence as that would require Musk to have a conscience and possess empathy. It's not just with DOGE that Musk has likely committed crimes either, a lot of what he's done with his companies reeks of fraud etc.

  I’m no expert, but when you’re talking staff and donor pardons the day before elections, it probably means two things. 1. You know your regime is corrupt as fuck. 2. You further know that your fascist party is about to receive a massive fucking ass kicking at the polls.

  If he died suddenly, they wouldn't tell anyone. They would keep posting for him on his shitty platform. They would write up the pardons, autopen it, release it and then eventually accounce it once it's beneficial to do so.

  Correct. DOJ did plenty of investigation into Hunter Biden and found nothing, zip, zero. Further investigation and prosecution by Trump administration would have been harassment. Not the case with what is being proposed

  Red flag: he’s signaling to Musk, to go ahead and meddle in the voting, interfere in the elections on his behalf. He need to get busted this time. Follow every dollar of his billions that he’s spending on Republicans.

  Probably not as trump can only pardon federal crimes, election rigging would likely fall into state jurisdiction if it did happen (which i doubt, but we live in crazy times)
