Add it to the pile. All these Nazi assholes are counting on Shitler to win in November so that he can make all the lawsuits disappear overnight

I'm so not looking forward to November's elections.

I just want to get it over with already, i want to know why we are gonna have a civil war

So basically will it be defensive or offensive?

There will be no civil war if Trump wins, just a lot of injured or dead protesters. There will be National Guard and Federal Agents dispatched to hot zones to neutralize potential threats. Look at what happened in Portland. Unless you can take down a tank, you’re just a meat obstacle.

They're just not large enough to get away with murder... You know like the oil industry, defense industry, prison industry, etc etc etc

Wait, can the president override a civil case? I didn't think pardon power worked like that.

No. This is a civil lawsuit too. Pardons are for crimes.

He can probably force a “friendly” judge to take over the case.

No, the judiciary is fully separate. The president might have influence over whether a case is prosecuted but Congress took direct control of the DOJ away from the presidency after Nixon abused those powers.
