    So when does the finale begin?

    Friday night news dump?

    On the 19th, in a flourish, to keep the audience on its toes?

    Only non-witches get due process.

      Pardons are a great tradition. I won’t touch because I’m tired of the whataboutism charge.

        All presidents do them, and from what I have hear, always some of them are "legitimate" and some of do not seem to be.

        Same with President Trump. I do not think the number or "scope" will be much different from other Presidents.

            The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

              He swindled Trump’s most loyal base. But hey. He’s apparently Trump’s confidant again. Rudy exits stage left, and Bannon slips in.

                The news is reporting Trump has no plans to pardon himself nor his family.

                We will know for sure by 12:00 EST on Wednesday

                  I’m sure we can find video of him accidentally bumping into an aide and saying “Oh! Pardon me!”

                        If Mr. Biden ever wants a headline he should pardon Mr. Trump and ask him to go away.

                          @copper Perhaps they could work out a deal. Trump could pardon Hunter just as he leaves as a show of good will.

                                I hope he sets a record with a huge number

                                He should include Joe and Hunter Biden

                                      Serious question. Is Trump going to end up with a relatively low number of pardons compared to other presidents?

                                        I have no idea. It's only the controversial ones that ever get reported.
