Trump wouldn’t actually pardon Ghislaine Maxwell … right? The president is planning 250 pardons for America’s 250th anniversary, and I really hope she’s not one of them.

The mental gymnastics that his supporters would do to still defend him as protector of children if he pardoned her would be insane.

Of course he’ll pardon her. If he doesn’t, she’ll talk about all the things she has witnessed.

“If the White House goes through with this plan, expect a long parade of corporate brigands, crypto kingpins, and other Trumpian “business leaders” to come marching in. Also expect a flood of gratitude to find its way toward various Trump priorities, including the Gilded Palace of Sin (thanks, Gram), where the East Wing used to stand.”
Goddamned “Gilded Palace of Sin” is fucking beautiful Gram! Using it from here out, thank you.

He will give one to a couple of people who are even less deserving and news they got one will out shadow the news of her getting one

There’s nothing to celebrate in this failed country.
But if there were – nothing says birthday celebration like helping criminals shed consequence for their crimes!

What a way to celebrate the country’s 250th anniversary. I’m sure that list is full of wonderful people who will integrate back into society with no risk of them causing further harm. The justice system is dead. What’s the point of federal agencies investigating and prosecuting individuals who are likely to get pardoned later? Trump likes pardoning other fraudsters like himself, so the incentive to go after people like that will disappear.

We will be having gladiator games on the White House lawn for pardons soon.

If Netanyahu wants her pardoned, she’ll be pardoned and back in Israel within 24 hours.

He can’t do it now because of the midterms. He will pardon tons of white collar criminals for the 250th and pardon Ghislaine on his last day in office.

She’s at the top of the list. She’s got his receipts. He’s stupid, but not stupid enough to allow someone that knows and has proof he fucks kids to rot in prison.
She’s going to get out, and then she’s going to be Russian Window’d.

His fat incontinent ass would pardon Hitler if he said nice things to the press.

What do you expect. It’s a massive swamp of pedophiles, rapists and murderers.

It’s pay-to-play with Trump on these pardons, so the 250 pardons special must be his version of a Fourth of July sale.

The move to the minimum security prison was in exchange for her silence. The pardon would be in exchange for her lying to exonerate him.

Ask yourself who are the worst people he could pardon.
It will be those people.

The regime is blatantly selling pardons. How to right wingers continue to find new lows?

So let me get this straight. To celebrate the anniversary of a countries independence and the longest running democracy they are going to harden 250 criminals… what am I missing?

250 pardons for 250? What the hell even is that?
Trump was never the “Law and Order” candidate.
