When the Dictator-wannabe finally slouches out of OUR White House, he will...
Just curious. If you truly don't care, just ignore this and move on
Trump said publicly today he will leave, so that fantasy/nightmare won't happen (unless he changes his mind).

President Donald Trump's campaign is mounting a fresh legal bid to prevent the certification of votes in Nevada. A new lawsuit names the state's Democratic presidential electors as defendants.
One of those named is Gabrielle d'Ayr, a former chair of the Clark County Democratic Party who says she is currently homeless. Clark County has been the focus of a previous election-related case.
The lawsuit, which was jointly filed by the Trump campaign and the Nevada Republican Party, seeks to award the state's six electoral college votes to the president or annul the election result there.
If successful, the suit would invalidate tens of thousands of votes, according to the Las Vegas Review-Journal.

Before you ask, GoFundMe and similar fundraising appeals are allowed on DU. Use your best judgment, do your research, and act accordingly. Needless to say, this is totally voluntary on anyone's part.

ATLANTA- A woman whose restaurant was at the center of the Civil Rights Movement is celebrating a milestone on Saturday. Leila Williams is turning 108.
Williams was born on November 14, 1914, according to her family.
From 1949 until the early 90s, her cooking skills became famous in Southwest Atlanta and her small restaurant on Fair Street -- Leila's Dinette -- gained fame.
“What really stands out in my mind in my memory is her cooking, and actually and how she reached out to so many people,” said Charlotte Webb, her goddaughter.
For more than 40 years, during the most tumultuous times of the Civil Rights Movement, Leila's Dinette not only became a headquarters for college students, but also a haven for some of the most important civil rights leaders of our time.

Sincere question: Can Trump really pardon himself ?
I mean, I thought a pardon had to be extended to another person. Not to oneself.
I can easily see Trump resigning at the last minute, and Pence pardoning him.
What do we know about this ? Thanks in advance.
