It is legitimately funny that Trump expected to be picking up another Republican seat in Texas in exchange for a pardon, and Cuellar was just like "nah."
So rare to see someone treat Trump like he treats everyone else.

BARTIROMO: Have you considered switching parties?
CUELLAR: Look, I'm a Democrat
BARTIROMO: Okay, but Trump is out with a new Truth Social saying saying, "next time, no more Mr Nice Guy"
CUELLAR: I was at church this morning praying for the president

We need to stop using any U.S. tech. It will be the end for us if we continue. U.S. tech is screwing our brains with propaganda and conspiracy theories, and they can be turned off for us if the moron in the White House has a bad day.
It's a matter of survival.

Noteworthy that the two guys behind Trump were mediocre musicians who became famous in the 70s by putting on makeup, high heels, and one piece jump suits…while writing seductive love letters to their largely young, male fans.

You should look at Trump’s pardons - from Ross Ulbricht to the former president of Honduras to Kushner’s disreputable and ex-con pops as what it is - Donald assembling his ‘Ocean’s Eleven’ gang.

Americans are angry because we're constantly being asked by elites to believe what we all know are lies, like "this team with two losses deserves a shot at the college football national championship." They don't. Facts don't care about your feelings.

Even the legal justification for drone strikes on senior members of al Qaeda and associated forces (ostensibly covered under the 2001 AUMF) states that strikes are justified only “when capture is infeasible”
This is contemptible. Not only do we now have confirmation Hegseth has been lying from the jump, but it seems neither he nor his team understand that killing everyone on a target list *becomes* an illegal No Quarter Order if targets try to surrender or are neutralized. Their semantic games are vile.

Poor President Trump got screwed over. This must be the worst December 7th ever.
Trump rages that Henry Cuellar didn’t pay him back for a pardon by switching parties, blasting Cuellar for a “lack of LOYALTY.”
In other words, Trump admits he was trying to use his pardon power to buy Republicans a House seat.
