I think he’s going to pardon all the Russians in Mueller’s indictment before he’s done.
Just wanted to point out that Politico has an article with a title that should look very familiar to participants in this thread:
I think this will probably be the end of Trump the politician, but it won’t be the end of the %#@%! that we call “Trumpism”. There’s a nihilistic energy in this country’s politics, and if anything, this shit probably throws kerosene on that fire.
A traumatized Mitch in tears with a child psychologist and a lego model of the Capitol Building… “Can you point to the place where Uncle Donald touched you, Mitch?”
They probably got it from here. One time I had a thread on how NPR reporters have interesting and unusual names, and The Atlantic picked up on it and quoted it.
“Down there”
“Who you gonna believe, I gotta freakin halo!”
I can’t help but think that these guys are going to end up like OJ. They are so steeped in criminality that they will end up committing new crimes (or old, unpardoned crimes will come to light) and they will end up back in the slammer.
You’re right about that. Manhattan DA’s office is working on it as we speak. They have made it clear they intend to prosecute Manafort for his crimes. Some state attorney somewhere probably has similar plans for Roger Stone. I do hope so.
PBS did an interview with Iraqis who are outraged over the pardons of the Blackwater war criminals. And a Middle East expert whose name I missed, who said ISIS and other terrorist organizations will use it to prove to Muslims that the United States doesn’t care about them.
I’m the guessing the Biden admin wouldn’t have any room for her, say, as US Ambassador to the Untied Nations - I figure that would be a perfect theatre for her somewhat granstanding nature. She can belt it out at all these befuddled representatives from Bhutan or Marshall Islands, saucying it up.
Oh I’ll play this dumb thing too:
Impotently Clusterfucking the Elections so Conservatives (Republicans) Establish an Abhorrent Monocracy
How I hope none of them are reading this, idea-giver, you!!!
(I’m sure, actually, this will be a top priority spurred on by someone who has a bit too much cyber-leverage over us now.)
Chief Officer Verifying Federal Elections are Fought Endlessly
He’s signed Manafort’s death warrant. Manafort alone has remained utterly silent, because he’s the one who stole money from an oligarch. The payback was supposed to be access to Trump, but he quit/was fired quickly. He no longer has 5th Amendment protection. Does Trump not realize he’s creating an Army of guys who positively need to testify against him?
Prison probably felt safer to Manafort than being outside will. Putin’s got a long reach, and the only thing he hates more than betrayal are guys who don’t deliver.
Aye; that’s the worst kind of betrayal: failure.
Manafort was released from Prison back in May.
There is not even the slightest chance that they got it from here.
Yeak, because “clusterfuck” is such an unlikely word to describe Trump’s presidency.
Seriously? I’ll just leave this here.

Myself, I first heard the word in the 1986 Clint Eastwood movie Heartbreak Ridge.
Nope. September 16, 2016, Dan Pfeiffer on Twitter: "Well, that was a clusterfuck for the Trump Campaign.
Claiming to have invented “Trump clusterfuck” is like trying to claim you invented peanut butter and jelly.
You know guys, you could have just let that one slide instead of piling on like that. Sheesh, it’s Christmas fucking Eve!
Plus, I’m the one who invented peanut butter and jelly.
