Maybe he can try to pardon himself. Trump strikes me as the type of arrogant egomaniac airhead who'd be the first to even try it. However, he can't protect himself from impeachment with any pardon, that is if Congress has the balls to impeach him after such an attempt.

Article II, Section 2, Clause 1 of the Constitution of the United States

The President shall be Commander in Chief of the Army and Navy of the United States, and of the Militia of the several States, when called into the actual Service of the United States; he may require the Opinion, in writing, of the principal Officer in each of the executive Departments, upon any Subject relating to the Duties of their respective Offices, and he shall have Power to grant Reprieves and Pardons for Offenses against the United States, except in Cases of Impeachment.

^^ The answer to that is complicated with simple components.

If the withering looks these 2 are giving each other could be put into action, there would be fists flying.



The "Mooch's" opinion of Hillary Clinton back in 2012.

Speaking of Chris Christie. He got into it with a fan at a baseball game. Notice the size of the bowl Christie is carrying around for a "snack". I guess stomach reducing surgery didn't really squelch his appetite one little bit. From what I can see of it, that looks like several dollops of ice cream with a load of bacon sitting on top.

so, you going to let them try that here, NS?

Don't you understand slick? Only a left-wing autocrats destroy democracy. Right-wing autocrats are far more sensible, even though they still end up destroying democracy.

Haven't you read the memo NS? Congress loves the fact that 72% of their premiums are paid for by the government (us taxpayers) courtesy of Obamacare. In fact, the law allows them to be counted as a small business of 50 or fewer employees. They just made a move to protect that since Trump recently tweeted that he'd try to makes cuts, all because of their epic fail with the repeal and replace attempts after umpteen years of trying. Frankly, I hope he effing succeeds in doing it. They need a dose of what us individuals have to swallow who can't work and who aren't old enough to qualify for Medicare. I'd LOVE to have 72% of my premiums paid for by the government, or else not be required to pay for overpriced insurance at all.

I remember during the Republican debates Trump had what I thought was a good idea, and that was to break up the insurance monopolies in certain states and force competition in the individual insurance plan market, thus lowering prices and premiums. Sure wish that was something he would talk about again.

That would sure as hell be an improvement over what's they've accomplished so far, which was nothing.

That's what I thought the other day in the mall...

convenient of the cartoonist to leave the Republican governor out.

What, you mean when Trump said things that made the North Korea situation far worse?

Wouldn't that cartoon have worked equally as well with the roles of Kim and Trump reversed?

The late-night shows take on the whole thing:

It doesn't help that our Nationalist Du Jour, Steve Bannon, is egging on Trump to be strong and let the warfighters do their thing. Yeah, right.

“The President believes the best thing to do is to let the warfighters fight the war,” Bannon told CNN.

I've got the perfect solution for these 2 underdeveloped bullies. Lets set up a cage fighting ring in a neutral country, send out a video feed that the whole world can watch and let these 2 ego-maniacal brats go at it mano a mano. It would be entertaining as hell and be far less damaging to the planet and the human race.
