Q: On the pardon of Changpeng Zhao, Binance has significant business interests with World Liberty Financial, the president family's crypto company. How do you respond to criticisms that this is a corrupt act?

LEAVITT: I would respond and say the president is exercising his constitutional authority

Of course PT Barnum has no morals or scruples of whether this pardon is right or wrong, and neither does Karoline. BTW, what do you say when he does things outside of the law or PT's constitutional authority?

The framers had a remedy for brazen corruption: impeachment. Trump's grift is so far out in the open because he is sure he can get away with anything.

CZ pleaded guilty to a criminal money laundering charge and was sentenced to prison.

But then he financed President Trump’s stablecoin and lobbied for a pardon.

Today, he got it.

If Congress does not stop this kind of corruption, it owns it.

I wonder how much it cost him for the pardon.

Fox News has hardly anything on its web homepage about Trump demolishing the East Wing of the White House without going through any approval process. I'm sure Fox would've been just as disinterested if Obama or Biden had done that, right? Right?

Everyone should read this letter. It's a scalding indictment of Trump's criminality from top to bottom. (@jvl.bsky.social bait)

NEWS --> Reps Jamie Raskin and Robert Garcia formally demand all internal WH-DOJ communications on Trump's corrupt DOJ shakedown, calling it a "blatantly illegal and unconstitutional effort to steal $230 million from the American people."

We reported first that this was coming (see below). Letter:

Trump is trying to turn the White House into a palace. Because Trump doesn’t understand what America is. He never has. We don’t do palaces in America. Because we don’t have kings in America.

Trump has decimated funding for Medicaid, SNAP, and crucial agencies like FEMA and the CFPB.

Now, he's demanding his cronies at DOJ give him a ludicrous $230M in taxpayer funds as "compensation" for past investigations.

He's picking your pockets to line his own.

Well. First the republican senators gave all their balls to Trump. And then the Republican representatives gave up their balls, too. And then law firms and tech bros followed suit, so where else is he supposed to keep all those balls?

Maybe this is obvious to everyone but…why does the White House need a ballroom? It has enough space for state dinners, no? Is this for dances? Weddings? Storing classified documents?

Just confused so the reason would be helpful thx

Scott Perry could be considered a traitor to the USA that he served. Rich words coming from him about Democrats.

I had a 55-year career in show business entertaining ppl all over America. All kinds of venues- state fairs, arenas, theaters, casinos. Met hundreds of thousands of people, most of them not wealthy.

Still can’t figure out how so many of them can support this embarrassing idiot.

PT Barnum, can you elaborate how soon we Americans will see a significant reduction in drugs coming into our country? Two weeks maybe? (Like we will be able to believe ANYTHING reported out of this authoritarian administration.)
