I'm waiting for the day when he tries pardoning himself, the lead criminal...

He thinks he can pardon people for state felonies, he has no jurisdiction to do this but he's off in fantasyland so be prepared for more of this stupid shit.

Glad that convictions under state laws negates his pardon power.

Or just the right amount of cynical because it is Trump after all?
Maybe he wanted them to sweat a little so they'd be more grateful.

Trying to distract him like you would a child. It doesn't matter if they aren't really Pardoned. Has anybody checked the list for Maxwell's name?

1. As heinous as these pardons are, they don't change the outcome of the 2020 election.

2. The fact of these pardons further shows that Trump and Company have ever intention of rigging the 2026 and 2028 elections.

Remember -- Trump told an audience during the 2024 campaign "Vote this year and you won't have to vote ever again."

i hope the state charges stick

It's not like they were ever going to face any consequences anyway.

A president fond of the grand,
Decreed with a flourish of hand,
“Forgive all my crew,
The red, white, and true—
Except me (for now), understand?”

Said Rudy, with a grin slightly wan,
“I knew Don would right every wrong!”
Though charged he was not,
He still liked the spot—
A pardon looks good in a song.

Mark Meadows, with cautious delight,
Declared, “I was never indicted, right?”
But he’ll frame that decree,
Hang it up by the tree,
And toast to the boss every night.

Powell and Eastman and Clark,
Lit sparks in the post-vote dark.
They plotted and pled,
While facts quietly bled—
Now pardoned, they stroll in the park.

The electors who claimed they were real,
Signed papers with counterfeit zeal.
They’re free from D.C.,
But the states disagree—
So justice still clings to their heel.

Poor Tina’s still locked in her cell,
Her breach didn’t go over well.
“Hero!” said Don,
As the judge droned on—
Nine years till Peters rings her next bell.

Said Martin, with bureaucrat grace,
“I’ve posted the list—four-page space!”
“Where’s Tina?” one cried,
He calmly replied,
“We’re working that case—watch this place.”

When Trump’s second term’s nearly gone,
He’ll muse as the cameras are on:
“I pardoned my friends,
But before this all ends—
Perhaps I should give me one.”

to sign the pardons ?

His partners in crime.

President Biden gave pre-emptive pardons to Dr. Fauci and Gen. Milley. He commuted the sentence of Leonard Peltier.

Let us compare and contrast.

As they work to undermine the Constitution of the United States, they are traitors.

Or does he think a pardon is enough to make up for it?

I think we've already determined that Trump can't issue pardons that actually pardon anyone in this case because the charges are state-level and presidents can only pardon over federal charges.

So, is this what Trump's trying for?

1. Trump pardons all his people who were charged in Georgia.
2. The State of Georgia tells Trump that's not how it works; he can't pardon people who weren't charged federally.
3. Trump runs to his Supreme Court to get the law that says presidents can't pardon state-level offenses overturned.
4. When they do, he starts issuing own-the-libs pardons like one for Derek Chauvin, the former police officer who murdered George Floyd.
