The level of corruption to pardon a drug kingpin who was convicted of trafficking 400 tons of cocaine while claiming you’re committing war crimes to fight Venezuelan cartels is worse than anything I ever saw in Nigeria.

This is so gross.
Ex-Honduras president, convicted of drug trafficking, freed on Trump pardon
A former DEA agent called the release “devastating”: “It means any attempt to work your investigations to the highest levels is meaningless.”

When this criminal was jailed, the judge told David Gentile and America: ‘This is a warning to would-be fraudsters that seeking to get rich by taking advantage of investors gets you only a one-way ticket to jail.’ I guess not

I hope future generations recognize how quickly and strangely the contours of what counts as a political scandal changed for this president.
O'DONNELL: Why did you pardon Changpeng Zhao?

TRUMP: Are you ready? I don't know who he is

O'DONNELL: His crypto exchange Binance helped facilitate a $2b purchase of World Liberty Financial's stablecoin. And they you pardoned him.

TRUMP: Here's the thing -- I know nothing about it

Here's my first venture into layering copper and nickel between layers of leftover canister Damascus. I'm taking lots of pictures now in case it delaminates when I try to bend it into a bracelet, but it seems to be holding together well so far.

Trump has believed, since his first term, that the U.S. treasury is his personal piggy bank (as he did with his personal charity). The entire purpose of his presidency is to funnel as much of it as he can to himself and his family
Trump: "It's awfully strange to make a decision where I'm paying myself. But I was damaged very greatly and any money I would get I would give to charity."

the president has destroyed the east wing of the white house without so much as a word of input from anyone else to build a royal ballroom paid for with bribes
NEW: After The Washington Post reported Monday on the demolition of the "East Wing facade," a new picture obtained by Law Dork that was taken on Tuesday shows that a substantial portion of the entirety of the East Wing has been demolished.

Starting to think the best way to address MAGA is to also make shit up. “I can’t address Chip Roy’s comments because I can’t see him; like all Republicans and their tiny king, Jesus F. Maloney, he exists on a microscopic plane undetectable to human eyes. They murdered Gandhi for saying as much.”
Chip Roy: "The truth is the marxist, radicals, and Islamists the Democratic Party promoted this weekend, they cannot handle the truth. The truth is that there is a king and that king is Jesus. And the president has been willing to say it, & Charlie Kirk was willing to say it & he got killed for it."

There’s a lot of misinformation flying around — so let’s set the record straight.

Democrats came to the table with a responsible plan to fund the government and protect your healthcare. But Republicans chose chaos over compromise.

You deserve the facts — not the spin.
