    I honestly expected him to just pardon Trump to “Let the nation heal”

    And if it had been a magical third Obama term, I’m sure that’s exactly what would have happened.

      Sure as shit would have happened if trump ever sat down and shut the fuck up. That’s why the ball started rolling so late. They wanted trump to go away on his own so they didn’t have to do their jobs.

        Why can I too easily imagine an alternate universe where Trump stays quiet, gets pardoned by Biden, a Trump-Wannabe shows up on the 2024 ticket, and Harris campaigns with Trump the same way Hillary rehabilitated Bush?

        They learn every wrong lesson from history. Republicans see history and go “Let’s do it again, but even worse for the average person!” and Democrats see history and go “Let’s try it again, it didn’t work last time, but surely 3rd time is the charm.”
