Would that be an example of the Streisand Effect in action? His response is certainly going to guarantee that #DiaperDon will trend even more.

Conservatives always cry about bias against them on open, cross cultural platforms like Twitter and Reddit. It's almost like their ideas are repugnant to your average educated person.

Totally normal post-election stuff: SEE!? PROOF that both sides are totally the same! One the one hand, GOP insiders retweeting batshit crazy calls for a military coup! On the other, random citizens who may or may not actually vote Dem breaking windows during a BLM demonstration! It's like looking in a mirror

Remember that time Obama pardoned himself, Hillary, and everyone else on his way out the door?
Probably the biggest 'what next' now is will Trump start pardoning his family and himself. I think the answer is 'duh' but there's a question maybe how he does it. It's unlikely a self-pardon would stand in the courts, even with conservatives (it would be tantamount to absolute immunity, break any law you want and pardon yourself immediately before). If he pardons his children, he probably saves them from charges relating to their time in the administration, but also removes their ability to plead the 5th. They'd either have to testify (because they can't possibly incriminate themselves due to pardons), or lie. Refusal to to the first and the second would both be new criminal charges unrelated to the pardons Trump granted. In the technical sense, issuing pardons does nothing to actually help him. It just complicates his situation, but it's not like being rational has ever been a hallmark for Trump (the whole 230 thing still makes zero sense from any perspective).
His odds are paradoxically probably better not using the pardon power but really it comes down to how hard any investigator or prosecutor wants him before anything else.

I’m still waiting for Drumpf to pardon himself for something that turns out to be a state crime.

Trump's 46 minute pre recorded rant certainly is something. Can't believe so many people still support someone so clearly deluded and insane. In other news, Ivanka is being investigated about misusing inauguration funds to overcharge for the Trump Hotel, so I guess her pardon is in the mail. www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-55177966

Hey everyone. Fact checked the whole "Write in Trump for Georgia" Protest/Movement, and it looks like there's no way Trump can be elected to any of Georgia's senate seats. I'll let the snopes.com article speak for itself.Polling data shows a complete and utter tossup for both races.

Then we'd get to hear them whine and cope about how their ballots were invalidated, and I'm always up for more that.

Trump's fans never let facts influence their thinking before, why would they suddenly start now?
