The former president of America is selling merch of his own mugshot for a RICO felony racketeering charge, for stuff he allegedly did while he was the sitting president. That is a thing that is actually happening right now.
By the time this is all resolved, we might even have and answer to the question: can a president lose an election, organize a coup to overturn that election, get legitimately re-elected in the next election, then pardon himself for sedition for the election he tried to overturn?
Like it's a long shot, but the fact that it's even remotely possible to watch that play out for real is fucking wild.
Is it though? I thought him winning in 2016 was impossible. I’m not sure of anything anymore.
You and everybody else. Hillary was the DNC's second coming. I dont think I knew anyone aside from dyed in the wool democrats who actually liked her. Many of those wgo did vote for her did so begrudgingly and many wgo stayed home did so because the media had been pounding the "hillary is a shoe in" line since she announced her candidacy. Why vote for someone who leaves a vad taste in your mouth if you already know they are going to win.
That could make it less likely a second time
