He pardoned EVERY SINGLE PERSON... I won't hold my breath for people to be outraged.

I love this so much!

At the inauguration, Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson wore a distinctive collar adorned with cowrie shells, which are believed to offer protection from evil in African traditions.

This choice mirrors the late Justice Ginsburg’s practice of using collars to convey a message.

Senile, racist, sexist, hopelessly in thrall to global corporate capitalism... how is he *not* the living embodiment of America?

I shouldn't have to use ADB shell to switch off 'sleep mode' on my FireTV (yeah, I know-- 'first world problem', much?)

Of course Biden pardoned his son -- what was he supposed to do, leave him hanging as target of opportunity for a pack of vengeful fascist pricks?
I LOVE the fact that President Biden pardoned his son, Hunter.

And I love that it triggers MAGA heavily, too.

My heart breaks for what should have been, but my heart is also touched. I still believe in the 'promise of America' -- even as I wonder if I will live to see it...

So, now it's to be Attorney General Barbie? Should we check Ken's availability to run the Army? (I suspect G.I. Joe has better sense)

Clowns maybe entertaining, but they should never be put in charge of anything. My latest on Trumps clown car cabinet:

His appointments are about trolling and loyalty

Prediction:

Trump’s promise to deport 11 million immigrants will be 2024’s version of his pledge to build the wall—a big ugly promise rooted in hatred and impossible to fulfill.

That’s 11 million court cases, 11 million flights, 11 million beds, plus it would TANK the economy. It’s not happening.
