Pardon All Criminals!
I guess if you were the first felon elected to the highest office in the land and then given pardon privileges, you might, if you were a person without morals or guilt, decide to pardon all those fellow felons who were unjustly convicted of crimes by the government you swore to uphold and defend. Or maybe not.
You might even understand a pardon for those who contributed massive amounts of donations, sort of a Get Out of Jail Free card for the MAGA loyalists. I mean, money talks and felons walk, maybe a new motto on our legal tender, drop the In God We Trust. But c’mon, pardons for the rioters on January 6th? It was basically an admission that these were his loyal troops, his vanguard of a violent overthrow in order to keep him in office. And the senators and reps who ran for their lives down hallways or crouched in fear with gas masks when these so-called innocent tourists breached the Capitol, did they raise their voices in protest or just lay down and go along with the ruse? If they’d had the chance when those good citizens were touring the building, probably could have signed autographs while some were calling for the hanging of Pence and Pelosi.
Loyalty to the chief, tribute paid — all you need for crimes to be forgiven. Meanwhile anyone who criticized gets the weaponized Justice Department. The same senators and representatives who cowered in the Capitol and refused to impeach the perpetrator, now investigate at length, endlessly, the purported crimes of Hunter Biden for using the influence of his father’s office. Forget about the transparent and willful use of that same office to garner billions on $trump coins, Trump Towers around the globe, jetliner gifts and on and on, obvious emoluments banned by the Constitution, not a peep from the peanut gallery, whether from fear or agreement, who knows?
The inmates in the asylum are being set free. Insanity is being redefined and you tell me if this is what democracy looks like. Most of us can’t tell anymore.
