Well, Drumpf will definitely go down in history as the most “corrupt” resident of the White House.

As if no one can figure it out.

What we need to do is pool our money and pay Trump millions to pardon Assange. Duh!

I guess some people have to commit cold blooded murder before they get a pardon.

But Assange is not a citizen, or can Trump pardon foreigners?

That is the way to that boy’s attention span (that and cheap sex). Whatever briberies we raise, however, would be outbid by the NeoCons and NeoLibs (sigh).

Trump supports war crimes. He’d be more likely to send Assange to Guantanamo.

MURDER…Sorry a Pardon cannot erase the crime of murder. These “men” cannot escape their guilt. Conspirator & Chief Trump is guilty, too as charged.

It’s my understanding that the United States of America is attempting to extradite Assange for various crimes.

So yes.

Worse than corrupt if Trump manages to reverse or delay the election results and believe me! It could still happen!

These thugs are convicted murderers, they will ALWAYS be convicted murderers. They can and should always be TREATED as convicted murderers - by all of us. If this country ever elects an honorable president, then they can be extradited back to Iraq.

In Trump’s career as a ‘reality’ TV ‘performer’, he would ‘test’ participants on ‘The Apprentice’ by purposely ‘yanking their chain’ to see how much of a ‘rise’ he could get out of them. The audience for this crap apparently went for it.

As ‘leader’ of one of the world’s less-developed attempts at a democratic and civil society, we may envisage the following:

Trump: I’m looking for a pardon that would really ‘yank the chain’ of the democrats/progressives/libtards, while meeting the approval of my MAGA base. Have we got any murderers who only killed people who weren’t Americans?

Lackey: There’s the ‘Blackwater Guards’. They only murdered Iraqis in Iraq.

Trump: Are Iraquis ‘brown people’?

Lackey: Yes Mr. President.

Trump: “Too easy!”.

But it can be credibly argued that the United States should not be trying to extradite Assange for trumped up charges to that country given the fact that he is not a U.S. citizen. Now if only U.S. presidents could be extradited to an international criminal court so that they could face charges of war crimes and crimes against humanity.

Good one.

Trump is acting in his normal character mold.
