There is no doubt deception, and an attempt to take attention from the new Russia news and his finances. By now I have accepted he has covid, plus other conditions. I am so used to his wiggling out of situations it now seems, the chickens came home to roost. I am not sure he will have much presidency left. The rest maybe just hiding and manipulation.
if Haley can find a way in she will. But will T. Give up power for a pardon? I am sure it’s crossing his mind and he is floating these scenarios.
@Allyn, if you could indulge me for a moment, I'm not familiar enough with some Constitutional matters to be able to figure this out.
There has been much speculation on here and in other places on line that if the Orange one were to resign or be incapacitated and Pence has to be sworn in, Pence could, would, or might try to pardon Orange man. Please correct me if I'm wrong, but how can there be a pardon if there are no actual pending possible charges or even current investigations? How could he be absolved of anything if there is nothing to be absolved from, not even a formal accusation of a crime?
Maybe a hit for that funeral procession vision with Melania doing a macabre dance --
Apparently, our own little Rocket man decided to take a victory lap, getting into a hermetically sealed vehicle with secret service members so he could show off how well he was doing to the MAGAts that have been prayer circling the hospital. Several cars (parade) with closed off traffic to accommodate the little stunt.

What the absolute hell? This is in poor taste even for him!
Joe Biden needs to get his attack ads back up. Screw being the bigger person here.
I thought the exact same thingabout that joyride being a hit for the funeral procession. It looked like a funeral procession, but it was garish like a danse macabre.
@yofisofi Ugh, and I fed the vampire. You should see my tweets yesterday.
I used to be very mild mannered.
@jeanne-Mayell @lawrence @vestralux @allyn
if for any reason trump is gone/resigns by end of Oct, what do you see happening with the election / blue wave.?. My fear is the never trumpers, Lincoln project folks , suburban woman, etc will no longer vote for Biden and blue senators down ballot,,,, they will vote for pence or Haley. This is why I hope trump remains on ballot,,,, we need a blue wave to kick them all out
Where is @vestralux these days? She posted many many times about Trump getting sick and getting the virus.I found a post yesterday where she wrote specifically that she asked, will he be hospitalized before November, and got a yes. Would love to hear from her and know she is ok.
I dont have Allyns legal expertise, but that has already been done before. Ford pardoned Nixon for and crimes he might have committed against the US during his presidency. It does, according to the SCOTUS, carry a legal implication and admission of guilt, but does not need to be for any specific crime as precedent has been set.
Pence has no chance of winning as the base won't turn out for him and Democrats have the same hatred for him they do for Trump. Haley could make it interesting since she separated herself from Trump and could regain the lost Republican vote. With early mail in voting already started, I dont think there is enough time to successfully win a fair election for any GOP POTUS candidate though. That said, with suppression tactics and Russian hacking anything is possible.
With Pence or Haley running instead of Trump, you won't have all the WH led anarchy you would with DT so that is a positive. Also, the presidency is not the most important race. The house and senate races, especially without Trump, are most important, as you go back to having a true check on the presidency that can be used without fear of civil war or mass bloodshed that you would with Trump.
I feel he won last time because we all focused on him and it made him blow up like a blood engorged tick, full of bad intent and craven lawlessness and immorality.
I think that definitely helped him. He feeds off of any kind of attention.
It's interesting how most here (myself included) avoid saying his name. I think we instinctively know that strengthens him.
They eyes are the window to the soul. And his eyes are red. Which indicates viral infection. He’s sicker than we know. I keep feeling stomach upset from him. He’s manic right now.
A pardon for federal crimes is a recognition there were crimes, but it doesn’t let him off for state crimes. Nixon resigned to avoid being removed from office when it was clear the senate would remove him for charges of income tax evasion and political corruption.
I'm very worried about about our elections and our democracy. We got a president who's sick and a few days ago he was proclaiming that he would fight the election results if they did not go his way. Now, because the reps did nothing (or very little) to go agaisnt trump they see the possibility of losing and now have got nothing to lose.
Like many of y'all (I'm texan) i worry that the reps will try every little dirty play they have in their book to cheat their way into an election. Our own Abbott here tried his own dirty trick to affect the election. Very sad to see.
I come here every once in a while to see if any of y'all seers have an idea of what's going to happen. But for me one thing is for sure, with his covid 19 infection Trump lost the election.
@meliaamal. I will check with her, but I'm sure she is fine. Her pattern is to post a lot and then focus on her work which writing. She has to concentrate and keep her head focused, so she does that. But she always returns.
I think that T is trying to show strength and some humility about the virus (way too little too late) to change his image. Well no one's buying it.
His stunt in driving around in the limo, etc. Well, I think he has covid or at least something wrong with him that is being downplayed by him and his minions. It's irresponsible for him to put others in harms way by doing what he's doing, yet I'm not surprised. I'm saddened about it all really. I look forward to the day when we no longer have to talk about or care about Trump anymore.
In the Read the future night I just heard giggling and laughter for June/July of next year. Not sure why but maybe, just maybe it's because people will have hope. A vaccine or at least the beginning of it's distribution perhaps and the ability to hug one another. ? No more cares about Trump and real reform in healthcare and the environment. Wouldn't that be lovely? ?

Steroid induced Twitter rant this morning.
@triciact It would indeed!!!! As I read your comments about His Orangeness I heard the song "Too much to little to late to try again with you" Looked it up .. its a song released by Johnny Mathis and Deniece Williams in February of 1978. "
Sorry that it had to end this way
No reason to pretend
We knew it had to end some day, this way
What's the use of tryin' to hang on
Somewhere we lost the key
So little left for you and me and it's clear to see
Too much, too little, too late to try again with you
We're in the middle of ending something that we knew
It's over
Oh, it was over
Too much, too little, too late, let's end it being friends
Too much, too little, too late, we knew it had to end
Ah, it's over
It's over
Nearly all our bridges tumbled down
I'm not 100% sure what would happen because its never happened before, however going off of local races(Bunny Ranch owner who won in NV after dying during the campaign recently), the votes wouldn't change to Pence. Trump could still get elected posthumously and then it'll be a nightmare scenario to sort that all out, but I think his VP would take over. If Pence runs on his own, I'm not sure how that would work but I dont think he would get the Trump votes. What most likely would happen if its a GOP win without Trump alive or running is that no one would get the 270 and it would go to the house to decide the next POTUS, which would assumably elect whomever the active GOP candidate is because they have the majority of states.
