Theyll probably recommend no jail time, the Presidential Medal of Freedom, and a show on Fox News.

I don't know whether to laugh or cry at this, so I think I'll just do both.

text of Schumer's tweet:
Florida man proposes cutting Medicare and Medicaid by hundreds of billions of dollars
subtweet from Kyle Griffin of MSNBC
The White House budget proposal would slash major domestic and safety net programs.
The budget would cut Medicaid and the Children's Health Insurance Program and wring savings from Medicare despite Trump promises to safeguard Medicare & Social Security.

(10,064 posts)Stone and Manafort will be pardoned, along with Flynn. Trump is emboldened now because he believes nothing he does will hurt him with Republican voters.

(6,448 posts)Teabaggers are his cult. These are the bottom 10% who finally have a voice. The rest of his 2016 voters are just xenophobes who got revenge for having a 2-term African-American as president. We'll see what the tax cut and tariffs do to change those numbers this Nov. 3rd.

(31,893 posts)The pardon is no doubt a given. As for Fox News, I think it more likely that he would be given a "contributor" position, rather than an entire show - after all, he'll be busy ratfucking the Democrats for the upcoming election.
