The Convicted FElon is now saying that he pardoned Tina Peters, even though he doesn't have any power over state convictions.
But he wants to control all levels of government, Federal, State & Local governments.

I appreciate that people care enough to keep checking up on me, but y’all. Asking ”how’s your leg?” daily is silly. It won’t change. And if you’re gonna get shitty when I respond, “still broken,” maybe reconsider checking in? Bc if I can’t make a funny remark, I’m never gonna get through this.

Surprisingly none of the major major news media mention it. No flags were lower to half staff.
Well the Convicted FElon keeps the news focus on him.

I appreciate people being concerned about cats and wanting proper veterinary care for all of them, but it's incredibly unlikely that a cat has a broken tail if he's letting you handle it and raising it when you pet him.
This is not remotely how cats react to painful handling.
