Trump just pardoned ANOTHER alleged white collar crook — live entertainment executive Timothy Leiweke — who was indicted by Trump's own DOJ this past July for conspiring to rig a bidding process.

A new Golden Age for corporate crimes.

What makes me most wary

Team Trump knows its crimes are many and manifest. In a nation with the rule of law, its members would go to prison if they let go the levers of power

Two roads:

1) trust Democrats won't hold them to account (see 2021-25)
2) don't let go the levers of power

both plausible

Well done! A Massachusetts church displayed an “ICE was here” sign in its Nativity scene.

I think Trump misunderstood when Putin told him he was a sleeper agent.

Republicans lost all ability to talk about criminals and rapists when they elected one as president.

Y’all still bringing up “mean tweets” as if that’s our problem with this administration?

A lot of people would say 'light green' or 'light yellow' or 'light blue' (sometimes 'baby blue') but no one calls pink 'light red'

Poor people get to experience joy.

Having a television or a phone is not only a way to bring a little joy, it's fundamental to knowing about national news, jobs, whether or not there's a snow day or an active shooter alert at a school, and other necessary things.

Stop hating poor people, maybe.

We have a U.S. President who's literally falling asleep at every scheduled event now — news conferences, cabinet meetings, whenever and wherever.

And we're all just standing around watching.

We know Trump's hold on MAGA is weakening because there aren't a bunch of goofs out there intentionally bruising the back of their hand.

Goddamnit this dude is outing us! You're not supposed to TELL people metal guitarists sound like an episode of Spongebob without effects 😂

McCarthy appointed Roy Cohn as chief counsel for his Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations. Cohn, of course, would become Trump's 'fixer' later in his career.

At his peak, McCarthy ruled by instilling fear of the damage he'd do to critics.

And it took years to get rid of him.

Short 🧵 1/2

Lots of folks compare Trump to Hitler, and there's some overlap. But there's also, to me, a fascinating overlap between Trump / Team Trump and Joe McCarthy.

McCarthy found issues that would gain the support of Catholic voters and that quieted Democratic opposition for a while.

maybe I am wrong but it seems like the president wants us to commit crimes.... he seems to be rewarding white people who do bad shit

They don’t believe in the constitution. They don’t believe in the rule of law. They don’t believe in the peaceful transfer of power. Why on earth are we waiting for any election to save us??

President Donald Trump nodding off during a press conference.

Weekday at Bernie's

I remember Trump supporters thinking he'd battle the DC establishment on their behalf.

But Team Trump only wages war for the license to do sadistic things: put people in camps, burn warehouses full of food, let children die of disease, murder fishermen.

These things they'll go to court for.

So, once Trump is finally deposed, will the Americans put anything in place to ensure such flagrant corruption and abuses of power can never happen again?

Or have they learned nothing from this?

The White House is launching a “Media Bias Offender Tip Line” and asking Americans to hold the fake news accountable

It would be a real shame if they were flooded with calls reporting Karoline Leavitt for being “fake news”
