Hmmm. A “symbolic” pardon of a state crime you say? Close call, but I’d say that’s a hair more farcical and make-believe than calling Lindsay Halligan a real U. S. Attorney.

The American people are begging their leaders to have the courage to stand up right now. When a president calls for executing elected officials, we must all speak out to defend our country and our freedoms. Read my full statement here:

Nixon didn’t go to prison over Watergate, but 48 others were convicted and served time for the scandal - notably, his Attorney General. Attention: Pam Bondi meet John Mitchell.

This should be the biggest story in the country right now. The sitting US President was extorting state lawmakers from his own party by threatening to withhold public money if they didn’t gerrymander for him.

I don’t know how else to say it…

Stephen Miller is to blame for the evil ICE is doing. Trump is to blame for listening to Miller. The Republican party is to blame for supporting Trump. MAGA voters are to blame for re-electing Trump. There's enough blame for all of them to share.

This is demonstrably false. A blatant lie. Not even a hint of truth. Can we not sue them for this shit?!? This frustrates me so much.

People with no criminal records now make up the largest group in ICE detention.

They’re also holding children for longer than twenty days after ripping them away from their families.

They’re deporting people in persistent vegetative states.

They’re committing crimes against humanity.

Yesterday, Spc Sarah Becstrom was laid to rest in West Virginia at a VA National Cemetery.
Surprisingly none of the major major news media mention it. No flags were lower to half staff.
Well the Convicted FElon keeps the news focus on him.

Twice the DOJ tried to convince a grand jury that hurting a demented authoritarian’s fee-fees should be a crime.

Twice they failed.

Apparently we’ve established that if the US can seize the largest tanker off Venezuela, it can just as easily seize a small, alleged drug boat without murdering the occupants.

I don’t want to see “experts say Trump can’t pardon a state conviction.”

That’s like “experts say sun rises in east, and some scientists claim water is two hydrogen atoms attached to an oxygen atom.”

It’s just a fact.

He CANNOT do this.

And the media DAMN well better get their coverage right.
Trump says he's pardoned Tina Peters, but that may not save her from prison
Trump has no jurisdiction over state-level cases to offer the pardon.

Watch this. Then remember that the president doesn’t care. He cares that his old ass gets richer in the hand full of years he may have left.

And his sick rich friends. The most corrupt evil man to ever serve as president is ignoring real evil
