YouTube video by MSNBC Maddow: Trump's shameless abuse of pardons, nepotism disqualifies him from criticizing Biden pardon

All of this. Every word of this.

"Way to go, Joe!" Says Rep Jasmine Crockett about the pardon of Hunter Biden. "We have a 34 count convicted felon that's about to walk into the WH. So for anyone who wants to clutch their pearls now, I would say take a look in the mirror."

What always confuses me is when right-wing "Christians" say, "God doesn't make mistakes", then rain down hate on people who are gay, trans, a different religion or someone else they feel entitled to impose their views on.

Works for me.

Republicans want to tell you what books you can read, what bathroom you can use, what words you can say, what history you can learn, what you can or can’t do with your own body and what gender you are… but tell me more about how the Dems are “coming for your freedoms”.

Idiots.

Awesome news

YEAH!!!!

This makes sense.

Oh

A meme with four quadrants. On the top, alongside an image of a sad SpongeBob SquarePants, the text reads: Republicans talking about the economy while Biden was President." On the bottom, alongside an image of a very happy SpongeBob SquarePants jumping for joy in front of a rainbow with sparkles surrounding him, the text reads: Republicans talking about the exact same economy the second Trump becomes president.

Accurate.

This.

This should terrify every American. It doesn’t matter where you stand on immigration. Using our military as a domestic law enforcement tool at mass scale will destroy its core purpose, turn the American people against them, and damage the institution for decades.

Trump Packs His Clown Car His appointments are about trolling and loyalty

Clowns maybe entertaining, but they should never be put in charge of anything. My latest on Trumps clown car cabinet:

Why do I get the feeling we are going to hold Trump accountable by documenting every broken campaign promise while the people he made the promises to won’t care?

Trump’s incoming administration isn’t just mostly white and mostly male.

It’s also mostly rapist.

Trump’s transition team caught off guard by Hegseth allegation | CNN Politics President-elect Donald Trump’s transition team was in the middle of announcing new Cabinet picks this week when they were informed of a sexual assault allegation about one of his previous selections, ...

Trump vetted Hegseth in 2017; past allegations came up and scuttled a VA nom. This time Trump axed the normal vetting processes, hired a private firm, didn’t wait for a report, selected Hegseth. Now his team says it was blindsided. Uh, no—it got caught. This is why media needs curatorial journalism.

Weird that MAGA can’t answer this.

His AG breaks the law.
His DNI is a Russian spy.
His HHS doesn’t trust vaccines.
His NIH spread covid disinfo.
And his SECDEF defends war criminals.

The very people those agencies seek to protect the public FROM, are now positioned to RUN them.

Into the ground that is.

America.

The forest was shrinking, but the trees kept voting for the axe; for the axe was clever and convinced the trees that because his handle was made of wood, he was one of them.

Goddammit, trees!! IT'S AN AXE FFS.
