Trump pardoned people who are disgusting pigs and never should not been pardoned. Next will be the January 6th participants. How many from January 6 will be pardoned despite injuring police officers? Biden did the right thing for his son. These are wretched times to be living in.
My eyes! My eyes!
Marcy Wheeler reminds us not to overlook that under Hegseth’s management, he drove a nonprofit into the ground.
Thank you for the chuckle.
Hegseth and Patel both otta get thanks but no thanks from their senate votes. Two really really bad nominees from TSF.
Sweet Jesus…you should warn us when you’re going to post vomit-inducing pictures!
To paraphrase “Fried Green Tomatoes”, the secret’s in the vetting.
I am seriously considering not watching cable TV news for the next 4 years.
I cancelled cable and threw out TV last March. I get curious about what I am missing sometimes but in general it has been easier than I expected and I have no doubt it was the right choice.
Here’s Trump’s greatest [pardon] hits. Don’t let MAGA drive any type of narrative.

Roger Stone: Longtime Trump associate, convicted of obstruction, witness tampering, and false statements
Paul Manafort: Former Trump campaign chair, guilty of tax fraud, bank fraud, and conspiracy against the U.S.
Michael Flynn: Former National Security Advisor, guilty of lying to the FBI about Russian contacts

ELON is beyond gay…its going to be interesting to see who is the favourite crotch-sniffer
OK… so whatever happened to Hunter’s laptop?
So this “language” thing is now officially dead?
Muskrat does not merit use of words.
Pete Hegseth: Trump, but also a drunk.
How many of those January 6 participants were identified by former partners who will now be at the mercy of their revenge plans? I expect that we will see a new level of crimes against the former domestic partners of these guys, who will be emboldened by getting away with the earlier crime.
Coming on January 20th: The Trump Crime Family Regime
I thought Trump’s administration would consist of billionaires, sexual predators.
Now we learn that unqualified relatives of his will be part of it too.

This won’t be the popular opinion I’m sure, but I have very mixed feelings about the Hunter pardon. Commuting the sentence would have made the point, but I guess the mitigating factor is that he would have been a pawn in the hands of the Trump DOJ for the next four years. A blanket pardon removes that threat. Understandable on that level.
Balanced against it, is the fact that Hunter actually did commit those crimes, and he was convicted by a jury. Selective prosecution? Sure, but he’s not the only one that ever got caught up in selective prosecution. Ask any Black person. How does someone sitting in prison after conviction for a rarely prosecuted crime feel about this? “Where’s my pardon? Oh yeah, I don’t have a powerful politician as my Father.”
I wonder how the jury feels about it. Selective and political or not, they found him guilty of the crimes. If it had been a pure political witch hunt with no underlying crimes it would be different. That’s how much of the Lefty media is covering it, as a purely political prosecution. But that’s not what the jury decided.
