25. As usual, the MAGAmaniacal maniacs are dragging this issue down into a rabbit hole of insanity...

Florida-based attorney, Peter Ticktin, channels his best Lewis Carroll to take us into a fantasy-world of logic-bending nonsense in his elaborate plea to the President justifying both the pardon and the concept that he has the power to pardon people for state offenses--because (brace yourself,) "when we consider the United States, it's personal pronoun is "it" which exemplifies that it is one nation."

If you are in the mood for a little "Peters in Wonderland" you should read the full letter here:

It even details her time in incarceration which will just make you want to cry a river for her until you remember the words Alligator Alcatraz. Yeah, ef these people....

But could the United States calling itself "it" instead of "him/her" be enough for the Supreme Joke of the United States to grant this--and only this one--President pardon power over any and all offences committed in the entire country regardless of jurisdiction?

You would have to say maybe...sadly. It doesn't seem to take much.
