I don't think even he is dumb enough to pardon her before January 20, 2029. He can make sure that she gets preferred treatment in prison, though.

Reminder.....

A pardon for Maxwell is tantamount to an admission of guilt.

The concentration of wealth in the hands of a few isn't just bad for our economy. It's corrosive to our democracy.

When the wealthy and well-connected control our political system, regular people don't have a voice.

The result? The demagoguery and corruption we're seeing now.

Maybe they brushed out his fake hair and kept what is left of his real hair.
I don't see what he calls a crown, even a small one. Is he seeing things that aren't there? Like his Nobel Peace Prize?
He must have been there when the picture was taken. He probably expected it to look like he was holy.

Apparently, they don’t hand out a Nobel Peace Prize to those who negotiated a ceasefire they had sabotaged a year ago just to get elected.

Columbus's own journals show that upon arriving at Hispaniola and BEING RESCUED by indigenous Americans, his first thought was "these people would make great servants."
This isn't a guy to celebrate.

Douglas Jackson, a service disabled veteran who was fired from IRS on Fri as part of the mass layoffs has a message for the Trump admin: “I’m an Orlando veteran. I’m not a DC bureaucrat. Either they don’t know who they’re firing, or they just don’t care.”

Let's be clear: If North Carolina Republicans gerrymander their already illegal map further, they will be sued and they will lose.

I never bluff and I usually win.

Concepts of a plan work just as well as well as ideas, which don’t work as well as actual plans that benefit most Americans.

REPORTER: Do you support repealing Obamacare and what's your healthcare plan?

MIKE JOHNSON: We worked on repealing and replacing Obamacare back in 2017. I still have PTSD from the experience. We know that American healthcare needs dramatic reform. We have lots of ideas.

(So, no plan)

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion.

The entire bottom 50% of America is worth just $4.2 trillion.

Read that back.

When 400 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.
