    Would it be a total shock to you if he does not pardon himself? I was expecting Biden to do it with some type of good for the nation type reasoning.

    Slightly fewer than the 330 commutations granted on Obama's final day in office...

    They're still trying to figure out who gave enough money to Trump to deserve one.

    I am still holding out for him resigning, and Pence pardoning him. I predicted he would resign the morning of January 20. So there is still a chance. Though, if reports are correct, Trump hasn't communicated with Pence since before January 6. So I might be proven wrong. With which I'm fine, because I can't even imagine the Supreme Court would allow a President to pardon himself. Anything other than a 9-0 vote against Trump on that would be a constitutional crisis.

    I would bet even money that would never happen.

    Even money means you set the odds at 50/50. Not even I think it is that high.

    My point was not the number of pardons. My position on pardons has been clearly stated right back to Obama. I am against any president pardoning anyone period. My point was that based on these CNN sources he is not pardoning himself which is something everyone was speculating would happen.

    Yea I was just commenting on that part of your site. I never expected he would pardon himself and note he has not called out the military to stage a military coup, has not launched nuclear weapons, has not declared a national marital law or any of the phony things the Dems were using to incite their base and further divide us.
