Presidential hopeful Ron DeSantis has announced his intent to pardon Donald Trump should he be convicted on any of the dozens of charges he faces. The Florida Governor made the declaration Friday when confronted by a reporter in Jasper County. DeSantis told NBC News he had 'already [promised a Trump pardon] long ago.' He then compared the situation to the one seen nearly a half-century ago between Richard Nixon and replacement Gerald Ford - who pardoned his predecessor in 1974 for crimes he may have committed to serve the country’s best interests.

I like him less every time he opens his mouth. That was just his effort to keep Trump's indictments before the voters.

So...what crime(s) has Donald John Trump ever been charged with??? And why would he need a pardon before he is even been indicted??? Is this how the legal system works now-persecution before prosecution-before execution...

This should not be an issue. President Trump has done nothing to deserve the way the rats are treating him. I do wish the courts would throw out every charge and look hard at the folks trying to keep him off the ballot...

Sorta a nice concept.....except that you have to be very dumb or very badly informed to imagine that Trump could be convicted of anything that wouldn't be tossed by the first honest judge that it went in front of.

There is no comparison between Nixon and Trump. Besides a pardon is used when a crime has been committed. Not only is there no crime here on Trump's part but it has been committed by the persecutors.

Ronnie it was really stupid to allow your ego - - and your wife - - to convince you to run. And now that your campaign has crashed and burned - - you should concede defeat - - enthusiastically endorse President Trump - - and go back to Florida. But - - given the size of your ego - - and your nagging wife - - you probably won't do any of those smart things.

If the uniparty can manage to get PDT ousted as the presidential candidate for the Republican party and get Nikki or DeSantis installed, they wouldn't have to worry about replacing biden or his loss to either would be no big deal. It would be a win for them.

MAGA base believes 2 things: an election was actually stolen in this country, and President Trump was a victim of political assassination via false allegations and lawfare. By denying those issues exist DeSantis is damaging his connection to the base and destroying his viability to be elected.

Desantis would make a good president, but I don’t think he’s going to get the chance due to the terrible campaign he’s been running. He should have waited 4 years to run. I still like him for VP, but he burned his bridges with Trump I’m afraid.

President Joe Biden is heading into election year showing “alarming weakness” among “stalwarts” of the Democrat base — black, Hispanic, and young voters, according to a new poll. The USA Today/Suffolk University poll showed that one in five black voters would support a third-party candidate in 2024. In addition, Biden has fallen behind former President Donald Trump, the likely Republican nominee, with Hispanic and young voters, 39-34 percent and 37-33 percent, respectively. Both groups backed Biden in 2020. (Photos) Trump has the support of 12 percent of black voters, the same percentage he had in 2020, according to the poll.

New York City has borne the brunt of Texas offloading the crisis to Democratic enclaves, with Abbott sending 32,200 to the Big Apple starting in August 2022, according to his office. Chicago has seen the second amount of migrants sent from Texas with 24,500 migrants arriving over the last year and four months.

With Joe Biden facing an impeachment inquiry and questions about his age and cognitive ability amid the worse polling for an incumbent president running for reelection in decades, Kamala Harris should be positioned to step in on the campaign trail to replace Biden at the top of the ticket. Yet Harris, who ignobly dropped out of the 2020 Democrat presidential primary before the first vote was cast due to her abysmal polling–including in her home state of California (only 7%) , is still incredibly unpopular four years later.

A 10-day waiting period for all gun purchases in Washington state went into effect January 1, 2024. FOX 13 reported the 10-day waiting period was part of 2023’s House Bill 1143.The new law also “requires people to go through training before they can buy a gun,” Apple Valley News Now noted. State Sen. Patty Kuderer (D) supported the 10-day waiting period and the training requirement, saying, “The sad fact today is that over half of suicides are committed with a firearm. There are very few do-overs when a gun is used and that’s why Mr. President, this cooling off period that’s in the bill is so critically important.”

A total of 21 quakes above 4.0 magnitude rang out shortly after 4pm local time (7am UK time), and videos shared on social media and broadcast on Japanese TV showed how buildings collapsed in Suzu, a city close to the epicentre of the largest quake, with thick cracks appearing in roads. The tremors triggered a huge fire in Wajima city, in the worst-hit Ishikawa prefecture, with shocking footage showing massive flames engulfing residential buildings according to local broadcasters.

Under a veil of benevolence, the Great Reset engineered by the World Economic Forum (WEF), aims to shift wealth from individuals and small businesses to global organizations controlled by the elite. As part of this agenda, a revamping of the financial system has been underway for – believe it or not – over half a century, says David Rogers Webb in his recent book The Great Taking and its accompanying documentary. Webb’s research and insights demonstrate that the WEF’s dubious catchphrase You’ll own nothing, and you’ll be happy already has risky implications for investments in securities, mutual funds, pension funds, and the like.
