PARDON ROULETTE
CHRISTIE: Donald, if you pardon your kids, they will be forced to testify against you. And they will. You've trained them to be selfish. You know them. They would bury you. You cannot be this stupid. It would be the dumbest thing you could do.

#PardonRoulette
IVANKA: Daddy, don't pardon anyone who is not family. Not Manafort, not Giuliani and gosh, not that vile creep Stephen Miller. The more you pardon, the more there will be investigations. Keep pardons just within the family, Daddy.
#PardonRoulette
IVANKA: Daddy, don't pardon the boys. Junior is an idiot. Eric is a moron and isn't even our blood. We all know his dad is Gary Busey, so fuck him. Just pardon me
#PardonRoulette
TRUMP: What about Jared? Should I give him a pardon?
IVANKA: That's up to you, Daddy. Jared's a bit dense but loves you more than Beavis & Butt-Head, or Rent-A-Mom
#PardonRoulette
DON JR: Sir, Ivanka testified in DC against you & Eric testified in NY. You can't trust them. Eric isn't even our blood. That freak was fathered by Gary Busey. Just pardon me
TRUMP: What about your scary wife, the Gargoyle?
#PardonRoulette
ERIC: Sir, pardon all of us, all of your kids. Not just Jr and Ivanka, but your adopted kids like Lindsey Graham, Matt Gaetz and me. And Sir, also pardon your illegitimate kids like Hope Hicks & Hannity. Pardon all of us
#PardonRoulette
GIULIANI: "Don't pardon your kids. They're all conspiring against you. Eric testified in New York. Ivanka testified in DC. Pardon me. I'm the only one you can trust."
#PardonRoulette
FIRST TRAMP: Stuff your pardon, Donald. I don't need it. I made recordings. The divorce takes effect on 20th of January and I'm taking Barron. We have a saying in the Slovenian Hooker Association: "I really don't care, do you?"
#FLOTITS
#PardonRoulette
TRUMP: Who is on line 2?
OPERATOR: It is Senator Lindsey Graham, he is calling about his pardon, again
TRUMP: I said no more calls from bloody Graham. Tell him to call his buddy John McCain for bloody pardon!
#LeningradLindsey
#PardonRoulette
HANNITY: Sir, I'm the only one of your biological children who has remained loyal to you. Even Ivanka is now ratting you out in DC court. Don't pardon them. Fuck 'em. Pardon me
#InsanityOfHannity
#FixFox
#PardonRoulette
TRUMP: How much have we earned so far?
KELLYANNE: Here, let me show you on the spreadsheet
TRUMP: By the way, would you want me to pardon your asshole husband, while we're at it?
#PardonRoulette
COHEN: Donald, just so you know. After you didn't pardon me, I told everybody how you treated me, and told them all to make recordings. It doesn't matter whether you pardon them or not, they will all screw you now.
#PardonRoulette
STEPHEN MILLER: Your backstabbing kids are all ratting you out in court. Giuliani and Manafort are threatening you. Barr and Mitch McConnell have abandoned you. I'm the only one loyal to you. Just pardon me, Sir

THIS IS INDEX THREAD
Because the FBI raid of Donald Trump's home in Mar-A-Lago involved nuclear secret documents that Trump deliberately was hiding, it is a crime that that carries DECADES of prison. If he tried to sell them, he could see death penalty
This links my Threads
First Thread about the Mar-A-Lago search was written before we knew about the nuclear documents. But this shows you how bad the GENERAL raid was on Trump. You may find it useful to read this Thread
My second Thread is about Merrick Garland's short press conference. It discusses the search warrant. And how severe this was, how thorough DOJ has been, giving valuable background on what happened BEFORE this search
This is my first attempt at a 'serious' Thread relating to news about the nuclear secret news. It is also the early draft of what will become my 'Path 6' to take Trump to prison for life (certainly. My previous 5 Paths also take Trump to prison
I was first person to estimate prison time for total Trump crime waves. I have now updated that. This is my latest update of total Trump prison time, including a very conservative count of prelim nuclear secret

Ten years from now, when we look back at this point in Trump's career ending - we will see, that raid on Trump residence provided the keys to most of his convictions

On Search Warrant
— Tomi T Ahonen Caught Declassifying Himself (@tomiahonen) August 11, 2022
First. Attorney General Merrick Garland said he personally approved search warrant filing. If you doubted is Garland shielding rich white Republican assholes, STFU
Second. Garland told us they had issued a subpoena for the missing documents. Trump defied it pic.twitter.com/G1WpOedEoK

This opens my 6th path. Yes. This will now be the 6th certain path to take Trump to prison for life (each separate & certain convictions)
Is POSSIBLY his most serious crime. Could face death penalty pic.twitter.com/DSCOo1TyVY

For those keeping count. As I am now adding my 6th Path to Trump certain paths to take him to prison for Life or more, I am also ready to offer my opening bid for added prison time - yes, boldly even before seeing the search warrant:
Add 45 years

I think a plausible explanation is that whatever Corbyn says or does, his critics will denounce - no matter how much hypocrisy it necessitates.
Corbyn opposes the exploitation of foreign sweatshop-workers - Labour MPs complain he's like Nigel
He speaks up in defence of migrants - Labour MPs whinge that he's not listening to the public's very real concerns about immigration:
He's wrong to prioritise Labour Party members over the public:
He's wrong to prioritise the public over Labour Party
One of the oddest features of the Labour tax row is how raising allowances, which the media allowed the LDs to describe as progressive (in spite of evidence to contrary) through the coalition years, is now seen by everyone as very right wing

Handy guide for Dominic Raab and other Brexiteers, and for anyone keen to replace our EU trade with trade with the rest of the world on WTO terms...
You can't magic away the vast distances involved. Clue: we fly in only 1/192th of our trade compared to the amount that arrives via sea
But even if you invented a teleporter tomorrow, WTO terms are so bad, so stacked against us, that a no-deal Brexit will be a total economic disaster
And while the Brexiteers fantasise, real jobs are being lost, investments are drying up, companies are moving assets to the EU27 or redomiciling. All already happened and happening right now, not in some mythical
Of course, there are many, many myths that Brexiteers perpetuate that are total fiction. You've seen a couple of them already. The thread below busts a whole lot

In 2016, the UK transported 484,000,000 tons of freight by sea, but just 2,511,000 tons by air (192x less than by sea). Therefore absurd to think of simply substituting air freight for sea freight (e.g. if we have to fly in food or medicines because of post-Brexit jams at ports)

Here's the truth about Brexit, the "punishment" some people claim the EU wants to inflict on us, the full horrific consequences of no deal, and the dangers lurking behind any deal we reach. Buckle in, it's pretty long. Better to be thorough than to leave anything out. 1/47

Ok, it's high time to look at the REAL effects of Brexit. As the Tories implode & Labour sits on its hands, companies are executing contingency plans, shifting jobs & assets, slashing investments, or redomiciling (accounting exercise). Happening NOW, not in a fantasy future. 1/95

This idea - that elections should translate into policy - is not wrong at all. But political science can help explain why it's not working this way. There are three main explanations: 1. mandates are constructed, not automatic, 2. party asymmetry, 3. partisan conpetition 1/
