Nope. He needs to concede and tell his fans it's over. He lost.

What in the two Obama quotes is incorrect or divisive?

Race issues politically can be summed up right now by the answer to the following:
Are non-whites at a disadvantage in society because of their race?
If the answer is yes, you're trying to find ways to remove that disadvantage.
If the answer is no, any change made will put white people at a disadvantage. You can't take more of my tax money to help those other people because I don't have an advantage.

Other than incorrectly attributing them as Evangelicals, I don't see anything wrong in the comment.
Despite comments about Mexican immigrants, legal and illegal, and his administration's policies at the border, Trump saw increased support with border Hispanics voters. One rationalization is that their devoutness led them to the candidate that opposes abortion and supports their definition of marriage. That their Faith guided their vote. This is no different than Shyster being guided by his 2A principles, nor shaf and his judiciary four years ago.

Its really quite simple. A former president who is part of the party that "wants to bring the country together" is making generalized and negatively-connotated posts about groups of people such as white male Republicans and religious Latinos?

Essentially stated white male Republicans have a victim complex and religious Latinos are stupid idiots because they think gay marriage and abortion is more important than "putting kids in cages"

Others seeking creative ways to forge ties to the president include Joseph Maldonado-Passage, the former Oklahoma zoo owner who is better known as Joe Exotic. His representatives have been running a carefully orchestrated campaign to try to persuade Mr. Trump to pardon Mr. Maldonado-Passage, who is one year into a 22-year sentence for trying to hire a hit man to kill an animal-rights activist.

They have focused on getting Mr. Trump’s attention through appeals to Donald Trump Jr. and Mr. Kushner, appearances on Fox News and a visit to the Trump International Hotel in Washington where, one organizer said, they ran up a tab of about $10,000 to try to get Mr. Trump’s attention.

So does Flynn have to testify against Trump if called?

How does that work?

I'm reading he has no 5th amendment rights. Is that true?

I believe he’s speaking to the extremes, as you suggested earlier. And maybe you’re right, that it shouldn’t be done. I’m not really sure where I stand on that. However, there’s no denying that these groups he mentions do exist. I’d like to find the full context of all this to see if he’s demonizing these groups of if he’s saying there needs to be a way to connect to them. I feel like a common ground would be a good thing, rather than just ignoring the extremes on both sides. But maybe that’s a fool’s errand.

Former President Obama on Wednesday said that he believes President Trump was successful in garnering support from more than 73 million Americans this election cycle because some members of the Republican Party have promoted a narrative that “white males are victims.”

During an interview with the radio show “The Breakfast Club,” Obama said that while the existing government “has failed miserably in handling just basic looking after the American people and keeping them safe,” millions of people still voted to re-elect Trump because they believed they were “under attack” by Democrats.

“It turns out politics is not just about policy, it’s not just about numbers, it’s about the stories that are being told,” said Obama, who appeared on the show to promote his new book, “A Promised Land.”

“And the story that they’re hearing from Fox News and Rush Limbaugh and, in some cases, inside their churches, is that Democrats don’t believe in Christmas, only care about minorities and Black folks and are trying to take your stuff and trying to take your guns away,” he continued.

“What’s always interesting to me is the degree to which you’ve seen created in Republican politics the sense that white males are victims,” Obama said. “They are the ones who are under attack – which obviously doesn’t jive with both history and data and economics. But that’s a sincere belief that’s been internalized, that’s a story that’s being told and how you unwind that is going to be not something that is done right away, it’s going to take some time.”

Re Flynn

I don't think he has a 5th Amendment out, unless there's some other underlying criminal conduct. So there are circumstances in which his testimony could be compelled.

But accepting the pardon does mean that he has now admitted to breaking the law three times in this affair, and I'm not sure what that means as regards his various arguments that were made in court on this subject as he reversed his plea. Does accepting a pardon - which means by definition admitting guilt - open him up to perjury charges as regards his more recent court filings in which he adamantly claimed his innocence and FBI coercion?

So what's he pardoning himself from?

Being a pissbaby.

[willeyeam]

Pardon declined

[Morkle]

Apparently they’re discussing having Pence pardon him from all crimes against the US that happened during his time.

When Nixon was pardoned, he was pardoned for all crimes that way but never tried in the SC.

Which is hilarious because if you’re talking about pardoning yourself, you must have done a crime against the US.
