“WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump has pardoned Edward DeBartolo Jr., the former San Francisco 49ers owner convicted in a gambling fraud scandal.
DeBartolo Jr., who built the San Francisco 49ers’ 1980s-‘90s dynasty, was involved in one of the biggest owners’ scandals in the sport’s history. In 1998, he pleaded guilty to failing to report a felony when he paid $400,000 to former Louisiana Gov. Edwin Edwards in exchange for a riverboat gambling license.
The White House announced the surprise decision on Tuesday, along with NFL greats Jerry Rice, Jim Brown, Ronnie Lott and Charles Haley.
DeBartolo Jr., whose San Francisco 49ers won five Super Bowls under his leadership, stepped down as owner in 1997 after two Louisiana newspapers reported he would be indicted for gambling fraud."
Trump is really the gift that keeps on giving.
And, of course, as in all cases of presidential pardons, no bribery took – LOOK! A SQUIRREL!
Of course he can win. He had any serious challengers investigated by Ukraine and suspended from the race. Then he made up infantile nicknames for them just because he’s so good at that.
He put a curse on the event by showing up, first the delay, then the wreck. The wrecks did make me thing about his administration and what he’s doing to the country. Hope Newman comes out okay.
Yeah, that vanity drive around the track sure gave Payne inspiration to do another poorly drawn car toon. I’ll bet his patriotism was at full attention when he saw it on TV.

I wonder if Payne or any other Trump Disciples would ride in a car that Trump was driving?

Why, he took that limo onto the racetrack with a confidence not seen since Hitler shoved his Mercedes onto the stadium track at the ’36 Olympics!

The cartoon has the limo honking.
With any luck that’ll be the Überschmuck’s swan song . . . and he won’t be president for the next Daytona 500.

There is some irony when you match this with the actual outcome at this year’s Daytona.
