its hardly a âgotchaâ moment is it though?
everyone damn well knows the insinuationâŚi mean the guy wasnt there with guns becuase the breakfast bagel was nice, and the manifesto wasnt about someone else somewhere elseâŚ
Trump didnt jump to any conclusion that wasnt insinuated just because the reporter didnt connect the dots for himâŚ
reverse itâŚwhat would everyone have said if he claimed â i didnt realise that was aimed at me?â
Just love when people try to sane-wash Trump.
Wanna talk lose-lose?

I am sure it was directed at my post saying that Trump granting pardon would be a lose-lose for him. I think its a moot point anyway, I doubt it gets passed the house oversight committee (not sure if itâs even needed), and I think any Republican that votes for it is an idiot and every democrat that votes against it is an idiot (assuming its partisan).
I donât know what is currently the worst ever pardon, but this would surely surpass everything else by a large margin.
The Eptein scandal killed a young man today.
Very sad article. It made me reflect.
Itâs google translate, so the English will be so-so.
Incredible stuff.
Presidential pardons do not need congressional approval, and certainly not of an oversight committee. If Trump wants to do it there is nothing really that can stop him (hence the years of debate about how rife the power is for abuse)

Just to explain so you donât jump all over me. The part that I am not sure about is not the pardon. I am not sure what the policy is with the house oversight AND testimony AND pardon, so my ânot sure if itâs even neededâ is directed to all three in combination.
Yes, that is absolutely clear.
You have decided something is moot because of process related issues you completely made up. No part of congress has any role to play in presidential pardons so your entire premise is false.
Just so that you do not damage yourself trying to dissect all my posts.
As I mentioned and for some reason you altered it my post. I didnât know if it was needed when it comes to passing the house oversight (in this particular case, read on).
Now what I donât know, because there is the complexity of promising to provide information for a pardon. This is what I am unsure of, I donât know what the house oversight (not sure if itâs even needed) passing a vote on a of pardon, if information is provided, means. If it passes does it mean Trump must pardon? If it passes can Trump veto? What power does a house oversight have? If they have no power why are they going to the trouble discussing this issue? I do not know these things.
As you like to point out, and what I constantly admit, I am not an expert or that knowledgeable on the workings on the US government process. I am just offering my opinion. This is precisely why I typed âI think its a moot point anywayâ.
That response is dishonest as hell.
All I did was add parentheses to clarify what the âitâ in what I was quoting was referring to, which is standard practice when clipping text from a larger section. Acting like I am misrepresenting you or altering your comment is some bad faith bullshit.
As for the rest, twice you have been informed that congress has no role to play in presidential pardons. There is no vote for them to take and that post is still what you come out with? This is not about being an expert or not, its about you making things up in your head, running with them and then actively refusing to engage with reality when corrected. Repeatedly.
Donât feed the deplorables
Wasnât that a Pixar movie?
I still remember when this was a conspiracy theory.
My conspiracy theory is things that end up being true, start with a basic truth, and then are warped by the people accused and they add âcabal sitting around fires on an island eating the hearts of children.â. Anyone looking at that statement sees it as a conspiracy theory, other than the complete nutjobs that believe every word.
