Wealthy criminals step right up! White House issuing full pardons, get out of jail tickets, only need to join his team of unfettered law breakers. If you join in with criminal-in-chief you are free to beak any laws going forward ,cash in anyway you please.
This week Trump pardoned a private equity fraudster, the drug-trafficking ex-president of Honduras, and a Congressman who allegedly took bribes.

Meanwhile, he's weaponizing government to go after his enemies.

An utter mockery of the rule of law. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NflcWXdV-B0

The other ninny, Marco Rubickscube ,is sitting next to his favorite comatose sociopath and just spitting out his brainless junk praises to said sociopath like everything is normal routine work day fun. Does he have any idea how insanely stupid and silly he looks?
He really is becoming one droopy-ass old man. Maybe the droopiest old man going.
Trump dozes while Marco Rubio speaks to him directly next to him. Just insane optics.

How about illegal Attorney? When does disbarment start 🤔?
Sorry to be a broken record but it's nuts to me that the New York Times would write an entire article summarizing a court ruling and refuse to provide a link to said ruling. This is a disservice to readers. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/01/n...

Second strike ? How about the first strike and all the other strikes? All crimes. Every human murdered is a crime!
Bash: "Do you believe if there was a second strike to eliminate any survivors that it constitutes a war crime?"

Mark Kelly: "It seems to."

Bash: "If you received that order, would you have carried it out?"

Mark Kelly: "No…Going after survivors in the water is unlawful."

As former Bush OLC leader Jack Goldsmith writes, the DOD manual prohibits killing shipwrecked enemies. If reporting is correct, killing helpless men clinging to boats was a war crime.

Understand why the government keeps protecting the powerful instead of the victims in the Epstein case, why the FBI fought to hide the names, and why every single one should be exposed. I broke it down in my new Substack.

His intent, other than devising more distraction flack, is/was to stir up trouble, big trouble, violence. Watch him stir up much more as polls sink…
The Trump DOJ played down the risk of deploying the National Guard to DC, despite warnings, and now one of them is dead. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2025/1...

Scandalakis kissing butt for a SCOTUs seat?
To be clear, Skandalakis assigned this case to himself. And I disagree with his assessment.

Anyone with this kind of bullshit take of that infamous "find me 11,780 votes" call to Sec. of State Raffensperger was never going to prosecute Trump, Meadows, & the other defendants:

How about prosecuted for Treason with the rest of t rump’s gaggle of criminals and goons?
Three things about the Witkoff tapes:

1) It appears Western intelligence services have decided to let Witkoff (and Trump) know they have recordings of their traitorous conversations w/Russia.

2) This Ukraine "deal" was all Witkoff's idea.

3) Congressional leaders should demand he be fired.

So, basically, Oligarchs are “ running the show” and effortlessly filling their coffers while taxpaying citizens
slip into poverty. Sounds like the new Russia.
Donald Trump, the ultimate insider given his power over policy, is profiting extravagantly while in office, mostly through crypto deals. Meanwhile, chief executives are scrambling for access to the president

People know who the Traitor is
“Trump is calling for six Democratic lawmakers—who simply urged the military not to follow illegal orders—to be arrested. He’s also reposting replies saying they should be hanged and calling them terrorists. This is open retaliation against lawful dissent.”
