1. 3 things not to worry about:
Mon Jan 31, 2022, 10:48 AM
Jan 2022

1) TFG running again* ... he will not run again but claim he is running in order to grift from "his rubes."

2) "If I win." see #1 .... BTW isn't this TFG admitting that he lost in 2020?

3) "We will give them pardons." see #1

******
This is not to say that TFG will not try to incite more violence in order to try to protect him from
criminal and or civil prosecution.


* Criminal and or civil prosecution jail, health, mental decline, and death are real stoppers to a
Presidential campaign.

3. So, what about a "pool" for 'reason for not running.......'
Mon Jan 31, 2022, 11:11 AM

You know, sort of like the "Super Bowl" pools that have surely started by now. You pick a square, take your pick of:

1. JAIL (civil)
2. JAIL (criminal)
3. HEALTH (legs can't support the weight)
4. HEALTH (DEPENDS aren't strong enough)
5. MENTAL DECLINE (how would you EVER measure that when starting from ZERO!)
6. DEATH (cause: choking on chicken bone)
7. DEATH (cause: choked by Melania)

Maybe even a game show: "I'll take 'DEATH BY CHOKING' for $200, Joe!"

Maybe Melania shoving a chicken bone down his throat that gets lodged in his NUNT (neck jina) and Jr can’t teach around his fat ass for the choking maneuver. Or none of his spawn or Melania will do mouth to mouth, and Lindsay is visiting Moscow. I’m with the “Hurry up and Die” anti vaxxer caucus, no reason that can’t apply to trump.

A stroke so massive that it pops both eyes from his skull.

FailedCoupGuy will attempt a civil war hoping to be crowned king and stay out of jail. Sure hope the Jan 6th
committee starts the televised hearing soon to help take the wind out of their sails. Maybe the more people
see how evil he really is, more Rs will turn against him.

Then again maybe that was the date for the committee's report.

...it just isn't fair. Where's the balance?
Mother Nature is the only sure thing that can truly stop this revolution of the deranged once and for all.

12. Proof he thinks facing consequences for bad actions is somehow unfair.

If you actually have to be held to account for committing crimes, he thinks that’s being treated “so unfairly.”

No wonder. He’s never been held to account for ANY of HIS crimes. So why wouldn’t he say shit like this? That’s been his whole world and his whole reason for being all his life:
1) what he can get away with, and
2) how he can get away with it.

He can't do a pardon before that. Would be better if he would pay the fines and lawyer fees.
