Something that's not being said. The REASON why Blanche and Bill Essayli are so defiantly violating the Constitution is bc John Roberts said they can't be prosecuted so long as they're following Trump's illegal orders. Blanche's criminality arises DIRECTLY out of Trump v. US.

Nothing is a more convincing admission that you know your entire administration is corrupt than giving criminal pardons to EVERYONE.

Over 100 police officers were injured defending the Capitol on January 6th. On his first day back in office, Trump pardoned all of the people convicted of assaulting them. This is far and away the most corrupt White House in our nation's history.

Trump’s justification doesn’t work, because what he is doing has nothing to do with peace.

Just because Trump's defense for taking Russia's side in its monstrous, criminal aggression against Ukraine is incoherent, twisted and full of lies does not mean it is any less dangerous. To the contrary, he is doubling down again and believes he can rationalize his betrayal to Americans.

I for one think it’s bad that the president can just say crazy stuff all day every day and 99% of it doesn’t make the news because we’ve normalized having an insane president

Does this seem right to you?

Please stop overestimating what a democratic Congress can do. The oligarchs are spending money to make you think a Dem Congress can arrest people and hold trials and pass laws without a POTUS signature so that you’ll be disappointed when they don’t do stuff they can’t do. Don’t fall for it.
