Trump's closing lines: "Have a good life. We'll se you seen" cue YMCA :lol:

Boarding Air Force One and leaving on the notes of YMCA was incredible  :lmfao:

It is done.

Nope, but he had the limo at the ready  :lol:

So...these pardons, can they be undone in anyway?

Well, the song is about being down and out and needing to find a new place to stay.  :P

I think one thing that will stick with me from the Trump administration is how joyless the White House seemed during his administration. There used to be some levity with each president - receptions, music, pets, the First Family just chilling, etc. - feel good content, if you will. Trump's attempts at those always seemed half hearted at best and cynical at worst.

The moments of levity were different I feel it was normally not someone doing wholesome jokey stuff within the confines/traditions of the office. It was more like when Trump's New York Trumpiness broke out of the role/wholesome event - like I remember the time when he kind of told a kid santa doesn't exist (clearly jokingly) or when he told the Boy Scouts a lengthy anecdote about a NY real estate mogul with a sex yacht :lol:

One of my favorites was the "hamberders" moment of him standing in a room full of fast food for the Clemson University football team.

I'm going to miss the "President Supervillain" twitter account (https://twitter.com/PresVillain). It was great.

Why would you?
Bannon is a crook.

They are normally the ones who need pardons. More importantly, do you want everyone pardoned by other presidents to look over their shoulders for the rest of their lives?

I think there is nothing wrong with having some way to revoke the pardons, I have a hard time thinking that having any kind of absolute power is ever a good thing in a democracy.  Maybe the requirement should be the same as a veto override requirement, with a limited time window (say you can revoke up until one year after the president leaves office).  That way it would be very rarely if ever used, especially in a partisan environment, but the possibility would be there in case you have a president who is utterly insane, utterly corrupt, or uses pardons to provide legal cover for his death squads.
