Unless he's able to be in two places, at the same time, that's effectively a concession.

I think Biden needs to toughen up & be judicious where he reaches out to the GOP; & for a starter, if Diaper Don isn't going to concede graciously; then the cunt shouldn't be invited to the inauguration.

There's no requirement for him to be there, & if he's just going to be a cunt; the best thing is to deny him the platform.

Invited or not, does anyone seriously believe Trump will be at Biden's inauguration? I very much doubt that he's returning to DC after Christmas

He was well ahead of the curve with social distancing at the inauguration in 2017.

I can't believe that this is mainstream television in Australia.

From the logo on the top left, this is Sky News, which should be semi-respectable and trusted.

I presume that Uncle Rupe is still batting for Trump even after Fox has mustered a strategic withdrawal.

"America's Mayor", admits he's done horrific, illegal shit, & if he doesn't get a pardon, he's facing hard time .... imagine that ....

So if he's needs a pardon; he's admitting that all the Ukraine/Russian interference allegations were absolutely spot on !

There is no other interpretation for him needing a pardon; because if he did nothing wrong; what would he need a pardon for ?

2nd Lowest form of dogshit.

Now here's a question for the legal eagles !

If the gimp Rudy, takes a Federal Pardon; & admits his guilt; what happens if the next Administration gets serious, & subpoenas him to give evidence about foreign collusion to get the Orange scum elected ?

He can't stand mute, or he gets done for contempt.

He can't plead the 5th; as he already has a pardon; so he can be found in contempt, if he doesn't answer questions.

He can't deny knowledge; of complicity; as he's already admitted these, by accepting the pardon.

Either he tells what he knows; or his pardon is useless, as you can't pardon someone for crimes they commit in the future; & if he tells what he knows; he drops the Orange cunt in the shit; & admits that he colluded with the Russians to get the cunt elected.

I’ve read somewhere, possibly on the bored, that a pardon does not necessarily equate to a guilty plea although I found the reasoning dubious at best.

The DoJs guidelines don't leave much room for doubt.
A pardon is an expression of the President’s forgiveness and ordinarily is granted in recognition of the applicant’s acceptance of responsibility for the crime and established good conduct for a significant period of time after conviction or completion of sentence. It does not signify innocence. It does, however, remove civil disabilities – e.g., restrictions on the right to vote, hold state or local office, or sit on a jury – imposed because of the conviction for which pardon is sought, and should lessen the stigma arising from the conviction. It may also be helpful in obtaining licenses, bonding, or employment. Under some – but not all – circumstances, a pardon will eliminate the legal basis for removal or deportation from the United States.

There's lots of legal theories doing the rounds that specifically invalidate previous understanding. Some in the GOP are pushing the idea that a presidential pardon DOES actually cover state level crimes. There's an implication that the pardon implies guilt, but that seems to be based on Gerald Ford's comments on the Nixon pardon and a mis-reading of Burdick vs United States. It's by no means settled law

Ordinarily doesn't mean in every case. Being pardoned for things you've not yet been convicted of, or even investigated for cannot be an admission of guilt in that sense; you weren't found guilty in the first place! There was a really good episode of All The President's Lawyers where they talked about this, but basically: the presidential pardon power is ridiculously broad and no it does not mean admission of guilt.

Just watched his.....um.....'thing' from last night. What. The. Actual. F**k????

How does anyone listen to him drone on with his puckered arse mouth and think - 'Yeah....I agree with that guy'.

That was just a scripted tantrum. The person who wrote that must have died inside numerous times.

I am unable to put into words how much I hate him.
