If you got $1 million, you can pretty much commit any crime you want and Trump will pardon you. I would recommend Pam Bondi’s brother for representation. He seems to get the best results, for some reason.

Strange takes on Mayor Zamdani swearing his oath on the Qu’ran. It has nothing to do with church & state. The point of the oath is for the person swearing in to do so upon some text that is sacred TO THEM. Some Presidents swore in w/o any book. John Quincy Adams was sworn on a law book. His choice.

Please note that "The Twelve Days of Christmas" starts ON December 25th.
Which means it's still ongoing.
It's also why I'd get annoyed with TV channels that did "12 days of christmas" shows in the days leading up to Christmas.
