The first image with a nod to Peanuts cartoon is pretty good.

>I found out that the president can pardon someone for something they haven't done yet.
The previous closest example was when Nixon had resigned in late summer 1974 with condition that Ford would pardon Nixon before the potential federal charges would be filed. And then Flynn's recent pardon topped the 1970s example.
>He can pardon someone for all future actions that person may do. So, Trump could pardon >his descendants & wife for all the bad things they might plan to do after he departs the >oval office.
Pardon can only be for federal charges. State charges he will still have to answer to such as in case NY state grand jury indicts the jackass on possible state criminal charges. As for now the possible forseable charges are currently civil charges, but there might be serious state charges appearing at a later time.
>What's not so clear is if he can pardon himself - it's never happened before.
Most in the legal field believe only credible manuver is resign and the VP christofascist pardon the jackass.
>As for the end of his presidency, will he go quietly, or will he have to be dragged out >kicking, screaming & frothing at the mouth.
A couple weeks ago, my guess would be like Al Pacino's Scarface movie character ending, but nearly all of the various court decisions have gone against him. My current guess is him waddling out of 1600 Penn Ave with a sourpuss face and then trying to get to any planned rally that will be doing its thing at same time while Biden is doing inauguration ceremony.

From the sarcastic MOB Justice Department (formerly DOJ), an example of a pardon in this manner for next several weeks before next administration takes over.
btw:
Some of the twitter reply opinions come from folks versed in the laws whether as former agents, DOJ lawyers or lawyers in general. A few of them are already questioning the pardon if actually valid or if 5th amendment is granted if having to testify under oath in the future.

-- DOJ has moved to dismiss the Flynn case and released a copy of Trump's pardon document.

Tweet text: Bradley P. Moss @ BradMossEsq This pardon language is both broad and narrow at the same time. It's exclusively limited to the scope of information uncovered by the Special Counsel's probe and related grand jury investigations.
