Has any person ever been elected to be a national leader while in prison?
The Whore Aldo is at it again!

So shit for brains thinks the other shit for brains needs to commit another crime to get this whole thing to blow over?
Biden does that and it will be just another crime committed by that jackass.
It would be best for the country if Biden just pardoned Trump, period. No conditions.
```````````````````````````````````````````
It would be best if Trump, very publicly flat out told Biden where to stick his pardon. To accept it would be an admission of guilt. No one is required to accept a pardon.
Hey- Jerry Rivers— yeah you, you moron. Locate your rectum and insert your pencil head straight up it. What kind of asinine moron are you— when and if you are straight and sober. Please explain how it was when you screwed Jacob Javit’s wife in his own home during a party there to which you had been invited. Explain that first, if you can- you are so pure. And so completely full of spent jackass flatulence.
> To accept it would be an admission of guilt. No one is required to accept a pardon. <
You make good point. But here’s the thing. If Trump is not pardoned, I am quite sure that he will end up in prison. And he well could be assassinated there. That’s just how evil the forces aligned against him are.
It’s a crap sandwich either way. But if I were advising Trump, I’d advise him to take the pardon, if it had no conditions. Then live to fight another day.
And if that idiot does that— you can be assured that Trump’s attorneys will reveal that he did this— and thus a complete unresponsive mistrial brought on by incompetent and sociopathic liberal dysphoric derangement. They cannot see this— so let them try. Drop charges to a CITIZEN who is otherwise LEGAL to run for the Presidency? What logic of a pretzel this is.
Jerry Rivers just said the quiet part out loud.
Well Jerry Rivers is no Francoist (who btw was not a Fascist or a Nazi— he couldn’t stand either Mussolini who was a true Socialist/Fascisti nor Hitlery whom he thought was insane). But Fidelistas and Pancho Villa types make excellent National Socialists. And he is a fake hispanic who took on the name— all these years like a male Elizabeth Warren were she to try to say she was.. say, Cuban instead of provably false as a Cherokee.
Yes, horealdo is a greaser, a grasping desperate little man with the notion he has original thought. Like all of his ilk- like biden for example- he thinks he is a genius when he is in actuality
I say we give ‘Herraldo’ a pardon in return for dropping dead.
Shut up, Jerry. Go play with your Al Capone souvenirs.
100%
Stupid is as stupid does. Whorealdo should have dropped out of show business years ago.
As if anyone cares what Jerry Rivers says.
That would only prove the whole thing is politically motivated.
