    It matters to me. A lot. As other posters have correctly said, you make that motherfucker pardon him. Make him sign his name and be held accountable in the general and the annals of history, assuming

Damn.

Thought he caught the ‘rona and/or died.

Thought we’d finally get some good news for a change.

I haven't kept up since the Corona. Is this fucklestick in prison yet?

Facebook on Wednesday announced it removed a network of more than 100 accounts and pages posting misinformation on the company’s social network with ties to Roger Stone, a longtime Republican operative and ally of President Donald Trump.

...

The network was followed by more than 320,000 accounts across Facebook and Instagram. It consisted of 54 Facebook accounts, 50 Facebook pages and four Instagram accounts. The network spent $308,000 on Facebook ads.

 

I predict Stone's sentence is commuted tonight perhaps late in the evening to even avoid the nightly news. 

Sounds like Trump's team isn't in favor of it but this is a compromise between letting him go to jail and a pardon. But in reality, it's a pardon.

And there will be other headlines by Monday morning. Perhaps it will be a topic on the Sunday morning shows but the viewers of those shows are the types that will be well aware of it and have their own opinions already.

What's the significance of this evening?  Is he supposed to report tomorrow or something?

7/14 I believe

he’ll be pardoned due to covid I bet ha  

He's schedule to begin his prison term next Tuesday so this is the last Friday to dump the news.

I think he reports to prison Tues or Wed.  

Trump has every opinion around him from people that are cool with Stone going away to those that think Stone should have a parade. He's been lobbied from both sides.

Called that one.  Makes it clear Trump will probably pardon all of his cronies on the way out.  Too chicken to do it except for this one.  Probably Manafort too if he hadn't already gotten home confinement.

Commuting is even worse.  Pretty obvious Stone was going to rat him out because a pardon would throw away the 5th amendment.

Slightly off topic, but how exactly will trump pardon his entire family as he leaves office? I don’t think he can give a blanket pardon for any and all crimes. I would think that the crime has to be named in the pardon itself.

The big question is how does he handle a pardon for himself? The only seemingly guarantee is for him to resign and have pence pardon him. You have to wonder if pence would actually accept a one-day presidency to go along with that charade.

Can you be pardoned for something before charges are even brought?

I think he can blanket pardon like that

Was Nixon ever charged with anything?

Yes, I read about it in a Tom Clancy novel.

This kind of shit is gonna keep happening until middle class white professional types march on and burn something like Highland Village in Houston or the Domain in Austin. Seriously.

Nah.  If he was going to blab, he would have by now to stave off the sentence.  He's been convicted, he doesn't need the 5th Amendment.

I think Trump commuted because it is less than a pardon and maybe he could mitigate the optics a little more.

I don't know whether it's Trump or his advisors that are so afraid of clemency.  The part of him that doesn't like to take responsibility for anything until and unless it's convenient tells me it's him.  But I dunno.

Is Stone gonna drop his appeal? I assume his request for a new trial has been denied, or could his appeal end up in a new trial?

It would be sweet if he could be convicted again.

Fucking right.  The lockdowns scared the ever living fuck out of the big wheels because that was pretty much a national strike.  It scared them so much they gave you poors all sorts of free money to shut up and take it.  Unfortunately for me, I’m not rich enough to be a big swinging dick, but not poor enough to get free money.  I’m all in for a national strike.

Trump approval soon to be 35%

Did some research in terms of blanket pardons. Nixon was pardoned for any crime that occurred over a 5 year period without naming the crimes. It was never tested in court to whether that was legal or not. 

Supreme Court: Presidents are not above the law

Trump: Hold my beer

Yeah, Ford gave Nixon a blanket pardon.

Democrats took the lead of Nicest President EverJimmy Carter and never challenged the legality, with the healing of the country in mind.

Joe Biden can NOT to that.

He’s gonna have to be a motherfucker.

Trump is going to shoot a guy on 5th Avenue and walk before this is over.

new york state is going to go hard after the entire family is my guess 

They extracted him from incarceration with hydraulic-powered forceps.

He won’t be though. No president wants to set the precedent for the next guy in office coming down on them for acts in office. 
 

all the shit Trump did before he became president should be fair game though as well as any state of NY crime

They'd fucking better. 

Fuck trump and fuck you and your family if you support this piece of shit traitor. Fucking disgraceful what is going on in this country due to trump. 

Stone was treated horribly just like I was treated horribly like nobody's ever seen. It was a disgrace and part of the Mueller hoax that I won. The do nothing Democrat Party politicized everything. Roger is a great man. A beautiful man. And you will eat every turd I shit because it's just the way it is. You have a big one coming your way after I declare the election rigged.

Nothing bad enough can happen to some people. Most of these people are friends. Like a cabal.

I know I always think "we couldn't sink any lower in our history" then the dive alarm sounds.
