F'ing golden.

SCOOP: President Trump is expected to pardon former Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich.

Blagojevich served eight years in prison on charges stemming from his effort to sell Barack Obama's Senate seat after Obama won the 2008 presidential election.

Berni Madoff is slavering with anticipation.

He's dead

bubbanyarlathotep.bsky.social•11 days ago

He's slavering in hell.

Oh Jesus fuck. How is he even relevant? Ew.

I heard my Trump-voting dad cry out, "oh no!" in the other room while he was watching the news and I knew it was about Blagojevich. That's when I popped in and let him know that Trump was considering Blago for ambassador. Gotta just help him figure it out on his own.

But Trump is totally out to end waste fraud and corruption. Sure.

I think you read that wrong. Trump is out to end wasting fraud and corruption. Both are worth a lot to him.

I thought he'd already done that? Or did he just commute Blago's sentence?

brianomite.bsky.social•12 days ago

Ya, i thought the same. Not sure if I'm having a Mandela effect or what

brianomite.bsky.social•12 days ago

It was a sentence commutation

Ah. So this is a rerun for grandstanding purposes?

brianomite.bsky.social•12 days ago

I saw somewhere else he Trump was considering him for an ambassador position. Not sure if there is any reason a pardon is necessary or not, but i think the two are related.

juliskake.bsky.social•12 days ago

At this rate, probably ambassador to the UN.

Of course he is 🙄

Golden...like the showers the 2 of them likely prefer.

Lord knows, he’s been angling for it for awhile. He lives in my neighborhood & I see him jogging around here all the time. He is fit. I’ll give him that.
