Used to work for hospital. We built a new building and the original plans included wind turbines which had to be scrapped because a corporation that had built its headquarters across the street struck a deal with the city to insure it was the only building permitted for wind turbines. True story.

In a 19th Century novel called The Monk, a monk strikes a deal with the devil who promises eternal life. The monk executes the devil’s plans but in the end (spoiler alert) the devil takes form of a taloned flying beast, swoops down, snatches him by the skull & carries him to hell. Bc the devil lies.

JFC, what is wrong with these people? It’s like an over-the-top sci-fi dystopia. If it were fiction I’d have trouble accepting it.

Democracy is completely broken. The people JUST explicitly and clearly voted for what they want and both parties are doing precisely not that.

AFAIK, they’ll still be accountable for their state crimes. The federal crimes that are being pardoned were never going to prosecuted anyway before the statute of limitations ran out on them. This isn’t really a pardon so much as an invitation to anyone who wants to help undermine the next election.
