A lucky trader just happened to put in a $200m trade with 50x leverage a few hours before a Trump pro-crypto announcement. The price of crypto jumped and this person made hundreds of millions. Pure luck I’m sure.

This is just a small handful of the hundreds of pardons Trump gave to drug traffickers, violent felons, fraudsters, donors, friends, cronies, wealthy businessmen, campaign aides, and Republican politicians.

Takes like this are nuts. How did Trump justify his last couple hundred pardons, one more nakedly obscene, political and personal than the next? Answer - he didn’t. Trump doesn’t bother justifying or explaining anything He does what he wants. Always has, always will. Wake up.

Trump pardoned a dozen drug traffickers, bypassed & ignored DOJ input, pardoned dozens of Republican elected officials, business cronies, lawyers, friends, donors and campaign officials. Promised to pardon J6ers who beat cops. I don’t care about Joe pardoning his last son.

IMPORTANT: NASA map shows temperatures of up to 160 degrees on Phoenix streets & sidewalks. All that unrelenting concrete and asphalt for cars. Not nearly enough trees. They start with ridiculous heat that’s only getting worse, & then make it much worse with bad design.

Pierogi is plural of pierog. So pierogi doesen’t need the “es” Although admittedly it’s extremely common in the states and I accidentally say it wrong myself sometimes.

Stansbury: Let’s take the argument to its logical extension that this is about making sure we have qualified individuals inside the federal government. My question is then why is the president-elect choosing absolutely unqualified cabinet secretaries to be at the head of every single agency?

One of the cheap and easy things DOGE will do is pick entries in the federal budget, strip them of all context, and memeify and ridicule them.
Surely there are things in the budget are ludicrous. But do you trust any of these people to represent them honestly?

Okay. Hold up. So, if Gaetz is out of Congress now and then shows up in January reporting for duty…
I’m starting to question whether there needs to be a lame duck exception to the public ethics report release norm. That’s the *wrong* incentive structure then.
