“Trump, who overcame impeachments, criminal indictments and a pair of assassination attempts to win another term in the White House,…” I think we may have forgotten to include 34 felony convictions in this list.
This will be a very “interesting” 4 years.
Thank God most of my money is invested in tech because it appears that’s where Trump’s oligarchy will be focused. I hope Trump bought all the working class Americans he’s supposed to help shares of Tesla and Nvidia! They may end up disappointed otherwise.
Shame on everyone who voted for this vile, imbicilic animal, and everyone who didn’t bother to vote.
Obviously you’re in the minority Michael because your candidate lost. And I guess we could say the same about your past presidentwho just left who was corrupt as can be.
He wasn’t, Rhea. He wasn’t.
Blame Mitch McConnell … he saved Trump because he actually thought the man felt shame and would move on. I hope he’s on the enemies list and properly persecuted.
Rhea P, you must be unaware that more people voted for somebody else than voted for Trump. Trump won the highest number of votes but not the majority of the votes.
You might also have forgotten that the first time around, he didn’t even win the highest number of votes.
Former President Joe Biden announced pardons for members of his family in the last minutes of his presidency, a shocking development that took place as President Donald Trump’s inauguration got underway Monday. The blanket pardons were granted to his brother, James Biden; his sister-in-law, Sara Jones Biden; his sister, Valerie Biden Owens; his brother-in-law, John T. Owens; and his youngest brother, Francis Biden. Biden said the pardons do not acknowledge any wrongdoing, nor should acceptance be viewed as an admission of guilt. They cover any nonviolent offense from Jan. 1, 2014, to Sunday.
Joe and Dan it doesn’t matter what you say he’s your president for the next 4 years so deal with it like we’ve had to for the past 4 years with somebody else pulling the strings behind the curtains providing.
Yes, I shall deal with it. The exhausting nature of governing so your name stays in the news every single day … of a million boot lickers drug onto the world’s stage, only to fail spectacularly and be cast aside … going through Cabinet secretaries so quickly you can’t even bother seeking Senate approval … governing based on the latest thing that he saw on the news … kissing up to America’s enemies while attacking our allies … yeah, I will deal with it.
There’s a reason that just about everyone who worked with Trump in his first term was agreed that the man was not suited for a second term. But because some people only learn by experience, because they don’t see Trump as a liar yet, we all have to go through this again.
Trump’s got nothing for you other than giving you someone to blame your problems on, keeping you distracted while he lines his pockets and plays more golf. Just wait until he sells his handpicked stooge as the next President and tells you to vote for him because Trump will be the man behind the curtain. I’m sure you’ll be back to tell me how awful that sort of thing is then … but I won’t hold my breath.
Poor Joe B, he needs a bucket to hold all these liberal tears.
Daddy is back and the USA is back!!!
Gross.
Biden issued the last round of family pardons to prevent Trusk’s minions from continuing the investigations into the alleged, and never substantiated, “family corruption.” It was a defensive move. Want to understand it better? Read General Milley’s response to his pardon from Biden.
These pardons had nothing to do with having committed a crime. They are intended to prevent baseless criminal charges from being brought. The recipients will still have to put up with Congressional investigations because, well, the likes of Jim Jordan are in control. But they can’t be charged with criminal offenses.
Trusk and his minons are a vindictive, corrupt, mob. TikTok, Trusk agreed a few years ago, was an evil force to be brought to an end. Then his buddies in tech, especially Mumps, convinced him to spare it so they could buy it. Now, suddenly, its not evil, it’s a trillion dollar opportunity for one of his henchmen.
Starting off with a bang and bringing back nazi salutes. Make America Fascist Again. You get what you vote for and you’ll have to live with the chaos knowing you contributed to it. Great job!
if there is no evidence as to guilt, they had nothing to worry about. They’re guilty and everyone knows it.
+1
Minus trump saying he would spend his entire term creating military tribunals to attack all of his enemies…
This is like you breaking up with a cops sister and he then asset forfeitures your house and all your bank accounts for 4 years while you go through a trial to determine if you might have broken any laws at any point…
This is now how a democratic republic is supposed to function
One things for certain; Both Biden and Trump are champions of abusing the pardon system. Bipartisan corrupt behavior.
