Wait... you can apply for a pardon? How does that work? Cry on truth social until trump sees it?

No it's not like that. It's much simpler.

You pay DJT whatever particular bribe he's asking for your particular crime and you walk free. It usually starts in the millions of dollars.

Let me dig into my multi million dollar bank account real quick to see if it works... oh wait.

He’s been jockeying for a pardon for a long time now, but he made the mistake of cozying up to Biden during the election.

Not even staging an interview to talk about how he finally saw the light and came around on MAGA can save him now.

I think.there are other considerations at play.

Namely how much he's willing to pay / funnel to Trump.

My understanding was that he had no wealth to speak of.

[-] curbstickle@anarchist.nexus 2 points 1 month ago

That is publicly known, I'm sure. And if he has nothing of the billions he had stashed away anywhere, then there is nothing to offer Trump anyway and it will go nowhere.

And it will probably be granted. Especially if some of that ill-gotten money was donated to Trump.

The problem is that he took money from rich people.

He'd be fine if he only took money from "poors", at least in the current fascist regime's eyes.
