This is why you don’t let felons pardon other felons. Awful.

Rationalization is a hell of a drug, but doesn't make what happened the right choice. Y'all folded the winning hand and got nothing in return except a promise from a party led by a Mad King who never keeps his promises.

”Without facts, you can’t have truth. Without truth, you can’t have trust. Without all three, we have no shared reality, and democracy as we know it - and all meaningful human endeavors - are dead.”
