• penless in the pen

    The chance that Don Trump might win the election
    in 2024, while sitting in a federal prison cell, is non-zero.

    Then, upon due and thoughtful deliberation, with probity,
    objectivity, and selflessness, for which he is renowned,
    he decides that pardoning himself is in the best interest
    of the country. He prepares to sign the papers... but lacks a pen.

    The warden has decided that a pen is a potential weapon,
    and decreed that no inmate shall receive one, as institutional
    policy. He does have such authority, does he not? So, no
    signature, no pardon.

    So... how does that play out? Like, how would they
    manage state dinners? If King Chuck has to use
    the loo, how will they handle that?

    It gets better - the emperor cannot pardon state felons,
    only federal. And in GA, the governor has NO AUTHORITY
    to pardon!

    What fun! The possibilities are endless -
