Guess… Who Wrote It? This Is… Moderately Surprising.

I will name the pundit at the bottom, but not until tomorrow afternoon.

So… here is the quote:

…Abusive use of the president’s pardon power didn’t start with Donald Trump. Far from it. We’ve seen other presidents pardon family members, good friends, associates, and financial backers.

Trump did break new ground when he issued pardons to the violent thugs who attacked police officers at the Capitol on January 6, 2021. Past presidents had granted clemency to a violent activist/anarchist here or there, typically after the criminal had served decades in prison. But as far a as I know, never before had one granted mass pardons to members of a violent, lawless mob without regard to their individual circumstances.

The key to the Jan. 6 pardons was that the rioters had tried to serve Trump’s interests. In that sense, I suppose, they were like campaign contributors. But campaign contributors don’t assault and injure police officers….

The commenter goes on to criticize Trump’s commutation — and now full pardon — of Rod Blagojevich.

But this notion that people committing violent felonies might ever be viewed as “campaign contributions”… tells us how badly the GOP has lost its way.

Separately, tonight in the Oval Office, the autistic spectrum sufferer, Elon Musk, made baseless, and very public, accusations about “rampant fraud” in the federal government.

That charge is absolutely a lie.

And… he knows it is a lie.

But like the above, it serves his — and Trump’s — interests.

And these supposed old line GOP-ers — the pigs — are apparently, fine… with that state of affairs.

Pretty disgusting, indeed.

Out. Check back tomorrow.
