Going forward, we will read about multiple pardons on a daily basis. Trump's health (mental and physical) is deteriorating fast. Those criminals who want to make sure they remain free must be asking for pardons with a sense of urgency.

Living with Long COVID often feels like living in a horror movie. Along with your disease comes a creepy Hive Mind refusal to acknowledge the dangers of COVID infection. In Vince Gilligan's new Apple TV show Pluribus, the Hive Mind comes to life:
