What’s the over/under on how many pardons Trump will crank out between today and when he’s finally removed from office?

@JoshConstine “Feels”?

So Facebook banned Trump only after: -He lost popularity with some mainstream users who might have left with him -His power to retaliate with the law decreased -His big ad campaigns ended It feels opportunistic, not moralistic
