    Lol.

    I thought Musk was going to get more for his money before the inevitable breakup. But hey, we’re talking about two dipshit loser man-children. So I guess this is all on schedule.

    I’m hoping that Musk makes a deal with someone to expose election interference as a pardon or prevention from deportation

      How would that work? The President is the only one who can issue pardons, I thought.

        Well if Musk comes out and admits that he helped rig the election them technically the president isn’t the president eh? Plus informants make deals all of the time, I don’t see how this is different

        For federal crimes. Governors can pardon people for state charges. Elections are run by the individual state governments, so interference is generally a state-level crime. This is why Trump hasn’t pardoned himself for his own interference convictions, because the violations were of state law in New York.

          This is why Trump hasn’t pardoned himself

          If he remaind in power for the rest of his life, he doesn’t need to, that would look weak.

          But if he still alive in 2029 January and was about to lose the presidency, he would probably attempt a self-pardon. Then its up to the 6-3 conservatives in the court to decide if that’s even valid.

        I actually expected it a while ago. These two together are like a natural gas leak at a petroleum service station and someone lit a match. They can’t get along, they are both psychos with HUUUUGE egos. BOOM!

    So it’s 3-4 days until this “on again off again” is on again. They may be back together after the 4th of July weekend.
