“Doing a pardon tomorrow on someone who is very, very important,”

The criminally inclined Individual1 has and is dangling pardons, pardoning or commuting his undeserving criminal BFFs or those with similar crimes he has done or plan to do…

BUT

The criminally inclined Individual1 has done nothing to protect our soldiers from his BFF’s bounty killings!

Today I am pardoning a wonderful powerful man, a beautiful man really. The FAKE NEWS has been critical of him for many, many years as if every time someone in Russher falls out a window it’s his fault.

I am issuing an official pardon from the President of the United States of America. I, Donald Trump, pardon Vladimir Putin, the President of Russher.

I think we can give a bit of attention to the latest blatantly corrupt act without entirely losing focus on voting the fuck out of office. If he pardons, say, Manafort, that’s one more puzzle piece in the pattern of corruption that we can argue to the inattentive means he absolutely must be removed from office. Former Obama speechwriter Jon Lovett said a few weeks ago that cries of “Pay no attention to that nuclear missile Trump just launched at Western Europe, it’s just a distraction” are of no interest to him.

Looks like we’ll see one bizarre act after another from this flailing, cornered rat.

Ha! That was my first reaction too.

He’s just dying to have some attention. The DNC is getting under his very thin skin after one night!

“Teacher!” “Teacher!” “Lookie here; I brought something too for show-and-tell.”
(Nothing like trying to grab the spot light after Michelle Obama.)

Damn. You beat me to it.

The big reveal will be moments after Biden gives his acceptance speech, or immediately after reports of Biden’s convention bounce, or during Trump’s acceptance speech, or immediately after the en banc appeals court hands down its decision that Judge Sullivan may proceed unimpeded with his review of the Flynn case, or whatever else he can make a fast political buck with.

Well, like the brainiacs say, that was overdetermined.
