Trump pardoned cop beaters in his first week, so why wouldn't he pardon the clowns who tried to kidnap one of his political opponents?!

I’ll always find it astonishing that a trashy tacky immoral pathological treasonous draft dodging criminal billionaire was able to con millions of uneducated struggling idiots in red states into giving him the power to fuck them over to protect/enrich other criminal millionaires.

MAGA wanted President Obama impeached for wearing a tan suit and they wanted him thrown in jail for creating a healthcare plan, but they’re more than okay with the orange felon illegally accepting foreign bribes and selling pardons to other felons. It was always about racism.

#WealthTax works: Norway’s wealthiest have faced a wealth tax since 1892, and over the generations, no nation has taken taxing wealth as seriously. If we want less inequality, tax policies must be distributive. This is the fairest way and provides a better foundation for the country to create value.

Phang: We don’t need the Ten Commandments hanging in Texas schools. What we need is common-sense gun legislation—so the kids can live. If my kid goes to a public school in Texas and they can’t come home alive, I don’t give a shit about the Ten Commandments being posted on the wall.

This guy stole $10 million from the employees of his nursing home to buy himself a luxury yacht and Cartier watches. He PLED GUILTY. And because his Mom gave Trump $1 million, he just got a pardon. And this story barely makes the news today. WTF. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/27/u...

The orange felon pardoned corrupt Virginia Sheriff Scott Jenkins who was convicted of bribery and fraud, now he pardoned Todd and Julie Chrisley who defrauded banks. Because nothing says law and order like a felon gifting pardons to other felons for their loyalty. Pure fascism.

"No MAGA left behind" is Mafia talk. If I say, "No men left behind," you could say, "What about women?!" I just say, "I was just talking about men. I didn't say a thing about women." There's an element of plausible denialbility in saying it that way. Yet, what I was suggesting...would be clear.

Welcome to Trump's America, where you can bribe the president in exchange for legal immunity. The United States was founded on the principle that everyone is subject equally to the law. MAGA is converting us into a mafia state, a haven for obscene criminality.

The Trump administration has effectively ended white-collar crime enforcement. All this week, we're going to look at what ripoffs, deceptions, and cons will rise as a result to part the public from their money. This intro sets the stage: it's the Golden Age of Scams. prospect.org/power/2025-0...

After Rümeysa Öztürk wrote an op-ed about Palestinians in Gaza, masked, plainclothes ICE agents grabbed her off the street. No one knew who they were or if it was even a real arrest. In a democracy, that shouldn’t happen. And we can’t let it become the new normal.
