Despite a push from Elon Musk and Ben Shapiro, President Donald Trump said he has not considered pardoning former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin for the murder of George Floyd.

He's saving that for when he wants a reason to call for martial law.

The murder charge is a state conviction that can’t be pardoned by the Putin lickspittle.

Chauvin is serving two concurrent prison sentences for federal and state convictions. Even if Trump pardoned Chauvin’s 20-year federal convictions for violating Floyd’s civil rights, the president cannot pardon or commute Chauvin’s state sentence, which is 22½ years.

Clarke "METRO Mutt" Macbeth for MN Senate @votemacbeth.org

He's only made ten thousand bad decisions, a few that are almost a tenth as bad as this one would be, so it cancels out. It's fine. He is still doing an excellent job at making people cheer on Minnesota for almost three months. We're winning the future. He's not. Neither is Musk, k?

I'm looking forward to Chauvin serving the balance of his term in a Minnesota prison. He'll get to say "Hi" to all the criminals he helped put behind bars. Justice served!
