‘Why are we letting this guy go?’ Donald Trump’s pardons upend US justice system
Releases of drug traffickers and fraudsters puzzle allies and send shockwaves through legal circles
Hard to overstate how disruptive this pardon “policy” had been. Creates massive confusion, unfairness and injustice. And typically with zero explanation.

Trumps goal is first,
to make money…he has likely accepted money for pardons.
Secondly, he loves the chaos, power and discrediting the justice department.
All totally predictable for anyone paying attention to this grifter.

Jeez. Finally. Only took a slew of pardons, bit of murder, economic destruction, intense, self-serving grift and a heap of corruption.

Enten: "Canada is far more popular than Donald Trump is here in the United States. The net popularity of Canada is +49. Trump is -10. We're talking about Canada coming out nearly 60 points ahead on the net popularity ratings versus Donald Trump here in the US"

I’m glad they are not hiding. Europe is smarter than current, corrupt US leadership. Europe must create a plan to power thru and wait this out. Trump is weakening at home and abroad. Plus, he looks like shit. Not well.

Europe needs to go on offense. Play Trump as the fool he is. Work him, flatter him, give him gifts. It appears we only need to buy a bit more time for Trump to implode.

…and to rehabilitate Russia.
I put together this free piece--and the points are striking. This part of the long con is over. Here are the main US positions.

But this economic decline is eclipsed by the real and more stark prospect of civilizational erasure. The larger issues facing Europe include activities of the European Union and other transnational bodies that undermine political liberty and sovereignty, migration policies that are transforming the continent and creating strife, censorship of free speech and suppression of political opposition, cratering birthrates, and loss of national identities and self-confidence.
Should present trends continue, the continent will be unrecognizable in 20 years or less. As such, it is far from obvious whether certain European countries will have economies and militaries strong enough to remain reliable allies. Many of these nations are currently doubling down on their present path. We want Europe to remain European, to regain its civilizational self-confidence, and to abandon its failed focus on regulatory suffocation
US national security strategy.
Something sure is unrecognisable here, but it’s not Europe.

The Supreme Court Is Poised to Revive a Key Feature of Nixon-Era Corruption
The justices will hear arguments on Tuesday in NRSC v. FEC, a case cooked up by the GOP itself.
The Supreme Court is on the brink of striking down a Nixon-era campaign finance restriction, handing plutocrats even more power to bribe candidates for political favors. slate.trib.al/EtkM56W

SCOTUS works for racist Trump, GOP and Heritage Foundation.
Roberts destroyed the court. He needs to go. Thomas and Alito corrupt as Hell. McConnell can go to Hell.

Trump and Witkoff cannot be trusted. Europe would be wise to listen.
The US is being run by buffoons and traitors. This pains me as a US citizen.

So far, in less than one year, Donald Trump has issued over TEN TIMES as many pardons as he did in his entire four-year first term. That’s a lot of criminals released onto our streets.

Follow the money. Trump is immoral and opportunistic. No guardrails. SCOTUS gave him freedom to crime.

How Palantir shifted course to play key role in ICE deportations
“The truly progressive position on immigration” is “extreme skepticism,” says Alex Karp, a longtime Democrat and the data-mining company’s chief executive.
Palantir’s software is helping ICE track undocumented immigrants and deport them faster, according to federal procurement filings and interviews with people who have knowledge of the project.

They will all be erased if we get thru this. All Trump changes should be erased. Whatever the cost.
