    It's an unestablished precedent, whether a president can pardon himself. I believe Roberts mentioned that the court has "luckily" never faced a need to make that decision.

    Education is extremely important.

      Moot question in this particular case - this is a state charge.

        I can’t imagine his sentence would ever include jail time.

        But maybe the judge could craft a suicide order under the guise of community service?

                    Yeah, he updated the models 15 minutes after I posted. I think it’s Kamala 50, Trump 47, and a 3% chance of a split?

                      That would put the electoral count in the blue.

                      Though I think his model assumes some latent level of redward shift over time so maybe not. When he first started posting projections favoring Trump he hinted that if the polls stay the same the model becomes more blue friendly.

                        PA is basically a coin toss according to the polls, and all the battlegrounds are within the
                        margin of error. Trump beat the margin of error two elections in a row.

                          That checks out. Trump is marginal, and also an error.

                                          That would put the electoral count in the blue.

                                          Though I think his model assumes some latent level of redward shift over time so maybe not. When he first started posting projections favoring Trump he hinted that if the polls stay the same the model becomes more blue friendly.

                                          PA is basically a coin toss according to the polls, and all the battlegrounds are within the
                                          margin of error. Trump beat the margin of error two elections in a row.

                                          That's important to remember. Anytime I see headlines about models showing Kamala winning, I get flashbacks of the other cackling gal in 2016...
