Joe Exotic to be pardoned by Trump

[rudebhoy]

Lots of rumours flying about that this will happen tomorrow.

He's said and done some crazy things over the last 4 years, but this might just take the biscuit.

Looks like this isn't happening for Joe! Time running out....

Some bloke got a pardon who embezzled a few hundred mill, and had an 800 year sentence. That is some pardon. Wonder if any of the cash was promised in return?

Carole Baskin did it

I'm just watching him leaving on CNN. The reporters are ripping him apart. It's a joy to watch. He's now going to speak without teleprompt!
I think he's had his teeth extra whitened for the occassion.

Painful watching someone trying to find even the most basic words to string a sentence together.

Not a bad gig - that you can pardon (one way or another) about 150 folks either facing charges or already convicted...

Interesting though that there are a handful of individuals that he hasn't pardoned...where there was thinking that he might.

In summary. He did everything great

I loved the fact that as soon as he finished talking the CNN commentators basically said that everything he had just said was an outright lie as usual. I'm paraphrasing but that was the basic gist.

This is an interesting read re pardons. It is quite staggering that one person in a modern, democratic system can summarily over rule the justice system. Don has been very light handed in comparison to other presidents. Fair play to George W Bush for his decision to largely discount their use.

Flick over to Fox for the exact opposite.
Farewell to our supreme leader and all that.

I did love the CNN anchor trying and failing to stifle a laugh when Airforce One took off to Sinatra's My Way.

Funny how an outgoing president can pardon old mates and some.

Across the pond we just put them on birthday honours list..

Apparently, yesterday, the US Military band walked past the White House playing Hit the road Jack.....

At least Trump can't pardon himself from impeachment. Do not want any Trump family trying to govern in future. The Donald jnr one looks particularly rabid.
Just hope the inauguration goes off incident free. So far so good.
World needs a stable USA.
Dreadful example to set not attending an inauguration of your successor in post.
Hope he sells up the Scottish courses he owns too. He isn't going to get big pro tournaments with his name on the gate, shame as Turnberry is a great Open course if not location.
