(13,055 posts)even those of us without law degrees can deduce the argument he can pardon himself is not a viable one

(23,334 posts)resign in 3 days. If only!! I do think it is promising that he's even thinking along those lines however. Dotard knows he pooped in his lunch pail and he doesn't know what to do about it.

(16,937 posts)"he pooped in his lunch pail" - you DO have a wonderful way with words!!
And I'm 100% with you on the "3 days!"

(23,334 posts)I can't take credit, however. I heard it from my grandad back in the day. Regardless it fits the way that Dotard is truly his own worst enemy.

(6,288 posts)I want Schiff to be my President.
Then he can be seated on the Supreme Court after his 2 terms.
He deserves the two most powerful jobs in America.

(16,937 posts)I'd love to see a great future for Schiff - it would be good for the United States!

(6,288 posts)Notice how our Democratic leaders (or "Dem" leaders) are not speaking up?
Several people here have asserted that.
pangaia
(24,324 posts)And not in a visceral enough way to reach the lower emotional brains of the ignorant, the lazy and the racist.
I even expressed an opinion that I wish Schiff would do that as well.. Not so lawyerly-like.
But perhaps, upon reflection, I am wrong in his case. it is hard to say.
But others..... aside from those who are already doing it..... please do !
This is no time for only niceties.

(10,885 posts)he's a top contender for 2020, IMO. In fact, I had added his name to a list being compiled in another thread on DU just a couple of days ago. California has a wealth these days, which in a way is unfortunate. A Schiff/Harris ticket would be fascinating, but would never come about as it's "geographically undesirable". Shame. Look for Eric Swalwell to do great things in the future also.

(30,754 posts)There are excellent colleges out there that train people well to be politicians and lawyers. You have the organization in place.
Don't forget about us here in the Midwest. We work hard to get our people elected. We have some excellent leadership as well.

We're not in his constituency, but I don't care. I would've busted if I dint call. 😊

(7,768 posts)I feel the same way you do! I love this man. EVERYTHING about him!
Whenever I see that he's coming up for an interview, I stop whatever I'm doing and listen intently.
I feel so bad for him that he's had to serve as the minority ranking member on the House Intel Committee with that treasonous piece of shit, Trump stooge, Devin Nunes.
I'm waiting for the day that Rep. Schiff takes over as the Chairman and Nune's ass is kicked to the curb.
Nunes may still win in his super red district (CA-22) but that hasn't stopped me from sending a modest amount of money each month to his opponent Andrew Janz!
VOTE!! Send money if you can.

This Congress will never impeach the asshole under any circumstances. Trump knows this.

(36,454 posts)If he went through with this self pardoning nonsense he would be impeached faster then you can spit; Midterms, Baby!
Dave Starsky
(5,914 posts)They don't care about anything bad that he does. And the Senate is too far gone to hope for, and they would have to convict him after he is impeached.
I have said, from the very beginning, that the only way to get rid of this bastard is to make him not want to be there. Organize protests wherever he shows up. Let him know how much he is hated. Get in his fucking face, everywhere. Do whatever you can to let him know how little he is liked. At some point, he will move on.

(14,494 posts)Why is everyone talking about a pardon when there has not been an indictment released, much less a conviction? I thought pardons were only (normally) issued for people who have been wrongfully convicted of crimes.....
And, why would tRump or his people discuss a pardon for him when he has not even been charged with a crime?
I understand the furor over tRump and his people discussing a pardon for himself, and it is very stupid of them to bring it up.
