My hunch is, aside from repulsive pardons for cash, Trump has decided to be a "good boy" until he leaves office and possibly until the impeachment trial. He is worried that he will dig the last foot of his own grave if he pardons himself, or insists on an obnoxiously over-the-top military sendoff — anything that would further stoke the ire of the GOP senate and insure his conviction. Sad loser.

The decision by the House to indict/impeach was huge. Trump was planning to set the country's psyche on fire and drive his cult to a fever pitch, setting the stage for his post-presidency. The impeachment is tantamount to something of a checkmate in the eleventh hour, during the endgame time. He wanted to go out in glory. Instead, he waddles out with his tail between his legs as a treasonous traitor. A sad loser.

But we must keep our eyes on him. Every move. He cannot be trusted.

Roger we cross-posted. I've heard that he may leave for Scotland, but I don't think so. Panama maybe. Brazil sounds about right. Saudi Arabia maybe. But not Russia —Nah, he's going to stick around and raise hell.

Roger, back again to say now I've read your other post and see we agree.
