This makes me feel sick. I really do think I might expatriate is she somehow becomes VP

[–] cbarrick@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Oh God, stop teasing me like this 🥵

Is she running for governor of GA?

[–] RichardBonham@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago (3 children)

If she is, it would probably be to change laws in the State of Georgia to allow a president to pardon someone of Georgia state charges.

[–] LEDZeppelin@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Ding ding ding!!!

Republicans don’t give a fuck about constitution, states rights, rule of law, or even basic decency. The first thing republican governor in GA would do is to overturn that state law to pardon the Florida man.

[–] Nougat@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

That law is because of a time in the 1930s where a GA governor would roll up to prisons with signed pardons in hand, and sell them to inmates.

The governor can pardon state crimes

[–] _Sc00ter@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

I read on lemmy that GA is one of 5 states where that's not true. They have an independent panel to approve pardons.

she may run for the border and not stop til she hits Ecuador

If she doesn't end up getting installed in another political office, some poor village in the far reaches of Dumbfuckistan will get a new idiot and wicked witch all in one. At least she'll have to split her time between those two roles and do a mediocre job at both.

Good. Get fucking lost. Or better yet, go to prison for your involvement in undermining our election.

I think it's going to be Stefanik. Trump doesn't need help from the right, he needs to pull in the moderate Republicans.

And I think he's actually too racist to pick Scott. He might phrase it more like "he doesn't look straight out of Central casting" but that sort of thing is important to him.

[–] admiralteal@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Trump was forced to pick up Pence on this same logic. What makes you think he'd let that happen again?

[–] OldWoodFrame@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)
[–] admiralteal@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

This presumes rationality that is not there. He's a being of pure emotion. He's not going to repeat the process that brought him a VP that ended up failing the loyalty test.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I'm still guessing he'll do a "coalition" ticket with RFK Jr. Everyone behind RFK Jr. is a Trump ally.

Don't threaten me with a good time
