What a fucking tool this man is. And he’s on a tool’s roll.

Fuck it, If it keeps him occupied and thinking he’s doing great, that’s fine.

Dotard realizes he holds only a hammer, starts seeing nails everywhere.

Somewhere in the empty cavern that is his brainpan, he has internalized the understanding that He can pardon, and that power is His, and it is very big, very strong power, and nobody can do anything else about it. And he likes it.

What that power does, what it is, what it’s for, is almost secondary. He has it so he deigns to wield it.

Sick puppy is sick.

Yes, that would be super except it’s not exactly keeping him occupied. Volcker Rule rollback, trade war on Europe and Mexico. He’s taking many many shots in the barrel.

ROD Blagojevich, TPM. Not Rob.

ETA–Thank you for fixing it.

He’s making it clear that he’s on board for full on oligarchy / plutocracy. Not surprising since he genuinely believes wealthy people are the smartest people around and poor people are just too stupid to be rich.

As a condition of his commutation, Blagojevich has agreed to a full scalp transplant to the president.

Wise to keep the press away from his interactions with people affected by a school shooting. He pretty consistently comes off as the uncaring reptile he is, so there’s no percentage letting anyone see one more instance of it.

I’d be glad to see Martha Stewart pardoned. I would have been happier if it had happened before she went to jail.

Trump sure hands out a lot of pardons for a guy who got elected yelling, “Lock her up!”

Gotta jimmy up those poll numbers. Makes him look presidenty. And is he really hoping to create a snowstorm of pardons so he can slip a few conventiently helpful ones in there?

There’s every chance that Martha will tell him to go jump in the lake. I hope so.

Blago’s not wealthy. But his wife was on ‘Celebrity Apprentice,’ and I assume wrote to Trump saying ‘‘remember me’’ and asked for help.

So are we at the point now where he’s going to just start issuing pardons for everybody?! Is he going to just keep going on down the line and pretty soon start pardoning his family and stuff? Has he finally gone over the edge?..

Martha Stewart was convicted of making a false statement to a federal investigator while Blagojevich also was convicted of making false claims as well as wire fraud and soliciting bribes.

Message to county: these things are unimportant.

More important message to Cohen: lie and stay strong.

Charles Manson must be pissed off in whatever corner of hell he is burning. If he had just held out a little while, he might have been a free man by now …

At the very least, she has no need of a pardon from him, thanks very much.

No she doesn’t at all. She’s just fine.

I would hope at this point she’d decide she likes the street cred it gives her. I mean she is working with one of America’s Most Wanted. :wink:

I got my hand on my gun cause they got me on the run and now I’m back in the courtroom waiting on an outcome…
