The Washington Post - Opinion - Trump is understandably tempted to pardon himself. It won’t work.

 

by William N. Eskridge Jr. - a professor of jurisprudence at Yale Law School

 

today

 

 

In the wake of last week’s unconscionable assault on the Capitol, President Trump is understandably more tempted than ever to take the unprecedented step of pardoning himself. 

 

Such an action would be constitutionally impermissible, strategically misguided and probably inadequate as a protection for Trump.

 

The constitutional part is straightforward. 

 

Because the rule of law requires that no official should be a judge in his own case, the Justice Department’s Office of Legal Counsel advised President Richard M. Nixon in 1974 that his constitutional “Power to grant Reprieves and Pardons” did not extend to a self-pardon. ...

 

A self-pardon would also be a strategic blunder on Trump’s part.

 

Such a flagrant attempt to evade responsibility would make it more likely the Justice Department would prosecute him.

Like everything Trump, it's a fake too... "The Bizarre Story of New York’s Fake Donald J. Trump State Park"

 

 

Donald J. Trump State Park is, appropriately enough, not a park. If you try to visit it—I have—you’ll only find a parking lot and some utterly unremarkable woodland with a few paths (no signs or markers) that hikers have worn down over the years. There are also the remains of a few abandoned structures, but don’t go inside—they’re full of asbestos.

 

What you will find, however, are massive signs on both sides of the Taconic State Parkway blaring about “Donald J. Trump State Park.” That’s right—there’s no Trump park, only signs advertising the Trump park. The perfect metaphor for Trump himself.

"National Guard troops are authorized to carry their weapons on Capitol grounds"

 

 

As of Tuesday evening, National Guardsmen mobilized to the District of Columbia are authorized to carry deadly weapons while posted in and around the Capitol, the National Guard Bureau confirmed to Military Times on Wednesday.

 

There are now as many as 20,000 troops from around the country who have been authorized to assist local and federal law enforcement in the days leading up to President-elect Joe Biden’s Jan. 20 inauguration, until into early February, some with firearms in hand.

 

“This was requested by federal authorities and authorized by the Secretary of the Army,” according to a statement from NGB. “National Guard members are postured to meet the requirements of the supported civil authorities, up to and including protective equipment and being armed if necessary.”

 

National Guard troops have been activated in D.C. since Jan. 4, when Army Secretary Ryan McCarthy called up several hundred D.C. Guardsmen to help the Metropolitan Police Department with traffic control ahead of protests supporting President Donald Trump. Those troops did not carry weapons, keeping their body armor and helmets in their vehicles.

 

A week later, the scene has changed. Thousands of Guard troops from multiple states have converged on the capital, donning their personal protective gear as they stand guard at entrances to Capitol Hill and inside its buildings.

 

As their mission does not include law enforcement and is seen as a supportive, extra layer of security, they have not been carrying weapons, as they were not under previous authorization agreed upon by D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser, before the Jan. 6 breaching and ransacking of the Capitol building.

 

“The public’s safety is our top priority,” according to NGB’s statement.

 

Now, as then, troops are authorized to use their weapons in self-defense, but they are still acting in support of law enforcement, who will have the authority to control crowds and make arrests.

Even Nth Korea has turned on DJ Trump

 

Trump's trip to Nth Korea and meetings with Chairman Kim Jong-un were extremely successful to Trumps ego but NOT to the USA. 

 

According to the BBC today; North Korea unveils new submarine-launched missile.

 

.....It follows a rare political meeting where Mr Kim decried the US as his country's "foremost principal enemy".....

 

 

 

WOW in 2019 the BS certainly flowed between the two countries in 2019 then:

 

Washington Post Achieve via Wikipedia

 

On June 12, 2019, Trump told reporters that he received a "beautiful letter" from Kim that was "very personal, very warm, very nice," praised Kim's leadership, and said that the letter was a sign that talks would resume.[12] Kim received a reply from Trump on June 23, 2019, which Kim praised as "excellent"; North Korean state media stated that "Appreciating the political judging faculty and extraordinary courage of President Trump, Kim Jong Un said that he would seriously contemplate the interesting content."[13]





Whilst the difficult we can do immediately, the impossible takes a bit longer. However, miracles you will have to wait for.

Salt Lake City, Utah, United States News Channel: Horned Capitol rioter goes viral again after mom says he won't eat non-organic jail food

 

Isn't it ridiculous that a judge has now ordered that they need to serve him organic food? If he has legitimate medical requirement to avoid certain foods, fine - but "non-organic food makes me sick" isn't that.

 

The next one will say they can only eat oysters and caviar.

 

And on a related note - what self respecting Trump supporter only eats organic food?

kingdragonfly: And since they are privileged snowflakes, unlikely to survive their jail time, there's that sweet life insurance money.

 

 

They'll be fine, they'll join the Aryan Nation labour union and receive protection, extensive training, and further radicalisation.

 

 

That's not snark, it's the sad reality of US prisons.
