Regardless of political leanings, if one of the steps in your master plan is "receive pardon from glorious leader once they return to power", you might want to rethink what you're about to do.

Trump May pardon him, despite all his pretending he doesn’t know what a proud boy is.

Dollars to donuts Trump doesn't even know this dude exists.

[–] [email protected] 25 points 1 year ago (4 children)

irrelevant since he cant pardon anyone while he himself is in prison and disqualified from holding any office

Or would care to.

[–] [email protected] 55 points 1 year ago (5 children)

I'd pay good money to see his face the moment he realizes that Trump isn't going to help him

[–] [email protected] 24 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Sorry, that isn't a pay to win feature. You'll have to wait the 16 years 11 months and 25 days for him to realize it.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago

Where's the remind me bot when you need it....

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago

Dude, he's already forgotten about you, if he ever knew who you were in the first place. He most certainly doesn't care if you rot in jail or not. In fact, he'd probably get off on it if he knew.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 1 year ago

If someone told Trump about this guy 4 years from now, he'd be bragging about how there were dudes doing long jailtime for him, because that's how great he is. Getting Biggs out of prison would mean less bragging rights. He literally has an incentive to keep him in there.

[–] [email protected] 31 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Trump could have pardoned him on January 7th.

Trump doesn't give a shit about them.

Also, Trump is about to get removed from the ballot in several states.

[–] [email protected] 26 points 1 year ago

“Also, Trump is about to get removed from the ballot in several states.”

I hope you’re correct.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago

I wouldn't count on the 14th argument. There's going to be so many lawsuits flying around they're going to have to put a jetway at the Supreme Court, and Alito, Kavanaugh, Thomas, and whatsherface will tie themselves in knots to force that shitstain back on us.

Came here to say "have your limo waiting!"

[–] [email protected] 26 points 1 year ago

If there weren't a million reasons to not vote for Trump already, keeping this POS behind bars is just one more to add to the pile.

[–] [email protected] 26 points 1 year ago

Look at this guy, thinks he’s better than the Tiger King.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 1 year ago

Lol trump only cares about himself this dudes in for a wild ride. Don't drop the soap my man.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 1 year ago (3 children)

I'm guessing, because he's clearly a moron, that he doesn't realize that former presidents don't have pardoning power.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago

Depends how brain damaged you assume this guy is, but he either thinks trump will win in 24 or that trump is secretly the actual for real president. Probably the former but I wouldn't bet on it.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I think he thinks Trump is still president.

Yeah, you served your purpose and you failed... enjoy prison.

Thoughts and prayers

[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 year ago

Trump can't pardon the shiv your cellmate sticks into you because you won't stop talking about Trump all the damn time. Just put a little hydroxychloroquine on the wound and walk it off!

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 year ago (2 children)

lmao, has this guy ever heard Trump's opinion on losers? Don't expect a pardon any time soon, bucko.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago (3 children)

In my book, you get points for staying OUT of the can! 🤟

Joe exotic already tried this

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 year ago (7 children)

I don't think he gets that Trump will NEVER be elected again. It's possible for Trump to even wind up in a state or federal penitentiary; assuming that his defense fails to convince a judge.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 year ago (2 children)

He's almost certainly going to be the Republican candidate. There's a very real treath of him becoming president again.

I remember being one of the fools who thought he wouldn’t stand a chance the first time around.

This time around I’m praying and I’m not even religious.

I live in red country. I hear them every day. Teachers, lawyers, doctors, nurses, police officers, farmers, constructions workers, welders, even dirt poor disabled welfare recipients. They all say, “I can’t wait until Trump gets back in and fixes this mess.”

The media they consume all says he’s innocent. The podcasts they listen to all cheer for the day his political opponents are jailed.

Even with the recording where he pressured officials to find more votes. Even with all of the charges. Even with the republicans who come out and talk about his crimes.

To them it’s all political theater from the left. It’s all a big conspiracy to take down the greatest man who ever lived.

I’ve heard the words, “poor old Trump. It’s a shame what they’re putting him through, and he just keeps going because he loves America.”

The threat is real. Please please please, don’t think for a second he can’t win.

Is Trump the new Jesus or something?

"Thoughts and prayers" or whatever?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago
