Trump wouldn’t actually pardon Ghislaine Maxwell … right? The president is planning 250 pardons for America’s 250th anniversary, and I really hope she’s not one of them.

      250 pardons for 250? What the hell even is that?

      Trump was never the “Law and Order” candidate.

      The mental gymnastics that his supporters would do to still defend him as protector of children if he pardoned her would be insane.

    3. Of course he’ll pardon her. If he doesn’t, she’ll talk about all the things she has witnessed.

      “If the White House goes through with this plan, expect a long parade of corporate brigands, crypto kingpins, and other Trumpian “business leaders” to come marching in. Also expect a flood of gratitude to find its way toward various Trump priorities, including the Gilded Palace of Sin (thanks, Gram), where the East Wing used to stand.”

      Goddamned “Gilded Palace of Sin” is fucking beautiful Gram! Using it from here out, thank you.

    5. He will give one to a couple of people who are even less deserving and news they got one will out shadow the news of her getting one

      There’s nothing to celebrate in this failed country.

      But if there were – nothing says birthday celebration like helping criminals shed consequence for their crimes!

    7. “So that we can move on from this terrible Epstein hoax that has hurt the image of do many great innocent Americans”.

      – Karoline Leavitt (probably)

    8. What a way to celebrate the country’s 250th anniversary. I’m sure that list is full of wonderful people who will integrate back into society with no risk of them causing further harm. The justice system is dead. What’s the point of federal agencies investigating and prosecuting individuals who are likely to get pardoned later? Trump likes pardoning other fraudsters like himself, so the incentive to go after people like that will disappear.

    9. If Netanyahu wants her pardoned, she’ll be pardoned and back in Israel within 24 hours.

    10. He can’t do it now because of the midterms. He will pardon tons of white collar criminals for the 250th and pardon Ghislaine on his last day in office.

    11. She’s at the top of the list. She’s got his receipts. He’s stupid, but not stupid enough to allow someone that knows and has proof he fucks kids to rot in prison.

      She’s going to get out, and then she’s going to be Russian Window’d.

    12. The USA increasingly resembles the Hunger Games. President Snow offers pardon on semiquincentenial.

      Probably hoping no one notices Ghislaine when she’s snuck in the middle of 249 others

      What do you expect. It’s a massive swamp of pedophiles, rapists and murderers.

      It’s pay-to-play with Trump on these pardons, so the 250 pardons special must be his version of a Fourth of July sale.

    16. If Trump actually plans to pardon 250 people, then that was likely the strategy all along: pardon so many people at once that media coverage of Ghislaine Maxwell gets diluted.

      The entire operation feels like a media distraction designed to bury pardons for some of the worst offenders, and since US media is now owned by Trump’s friends… our news will play right into Trump’s hand.

      Ask yourself who are the worst people he could pardon.

      It will be those people.

      The regime is blatantly selling pardons. How to right wingers continue to find new lows?

      Trump wouldn’t actually cover up the Epstein files right?

      Trump wouldn’t actually steal money from a children’s cancer charity right?

      Trump wouldn’t actually enrich himself by doing insider trading right?

      Trump wouldn’t actually start a war with another country without congressional authority right?

      Trump wouldn’t actually separate families at the border right?

      Trump wouldn’t actually ignore a pandemic resulting in the death of over a million Americans right?

      Trump wouldn’t actually turn over roe v wade right?

      YES! Trump can and very likely will pardon Maxwell.

      What percentage will be white dudes that committed major fraud? I’m guessing atleast 40%.

    21. I hope he does. There would be such massive protests and his ratings would go down further. Maybe Republicans would have to abqndon him too.
