It’s such a bad idea, when one of his crimes was calling forth an insurrection, that he’s actually forbidden from holding the office by a constitutional provision, which a unanimous Supreme Court invented a way to turn off.
To repeat: Maybe electing a life-long criminal to an office where he can pardon other criminals wasn't such a good idea.

MAGA done more than any political movement to undermine public respect for law enforcement. Under 34-times convicted felon, the MAGA movement has condoned violent insurrection and cheered the pardon of the Jan. 6 vicious mob. So much for “Back the Blue.”

Yesterday, Chuck Schumer and his fellow cowards showed once again that our politicians do not serve the people; they serve their donors and themselves. This political system is broken and the leadership is out of touch. If Schumer is not immediately replaced, Dems should lose any trust that remains.

Trump and his GOP toads are having a big laugh at Democrats this morning. Give Democrats a chance and they’ll snatch defeat from the jaws of victory every time. And Chuck Schumer isn’t a leader. His shelf life has expired.

Trump is offering a pardon to any criminal who tried to help him steal an election.

Trump pardons Rudy Giuliani and others involved in bid to overturn 2020 election
The pardons may be largely symbolic as none of the people listed were convicted of federal crimes, which the presidential pardon covers.

OSCAR ISAAC, on whether he'd return to "Star Wars":
".. Yeah. I mean, I’d be open to it, although right now I’m not so open to working with Disney. But if they can kinda figure it out and, you know, not succumb to fascism, that would be great."
