Bankman-Fried will be a heck of a good test.
And there it is. Per the WSJ piece on pardons a couple days ago, Trump pardoned Cuellar to try and get him to flip parties
It won’t get much oxygen now, but that might approach Trump’s first impeachment territory in terms of trying to use his powers for naked political gain

It’s pretty wild that the most rabidly anti-immigrant administration in recent memory is comprised of a President married to an immigrant, a VP married to the daughter of immigrants, an assistant AG in charge of Civil Rights who’s an immigrant (Dhillon), & it was all funded by an immigrant (Musk).

For those arguing it was never about Dem policy positions.
Increasing opioid overdose death rates were associated with an increase in Republican votes. surveys show Independents became more likely to support stricter border security & higher spending on law enforcement as drug death rates increased.

These are good moments to remember that the CEOs of all the biggest companies in America are happy to go to White House dinners and slap this guy’s back. They do not care about this. Remember this, years from now, when they want you to forget.

Listen, Trump. Your continued threats will not intimidate me or keep me from doing my job, which includes oversight of the executive branch.
Stop the threats of execution, hanging, and sending a mob before someone gets hurt.
America deserves better.

And if he did he wouldn't have his cult.
The thing that's always frustrated the right wing ideologues who've glommed onto Trump is that he doesn't have the attention span to actually be a committed ideological warrior. He can scream all the right culture war shit, but it's just WWE pugilistic showmanship. He basically has no belief system.
