These pardons are despicable, as for me, I'm thinking Trump is just distracting from the dangers he is putting our country, democracy and judicial systems in and the horrible finance markets he is responsible for.

AND NOT attend or watch! I respect our veterans, but we all know what this parade really is! With all the cuts to much needed and even life-saving services makes this even more disgusting!

Trump Administration Rolls Back Plan To Limit Salmonella Levels In Raw Chicken The Agriculture Department says it is withdrawing a Biden-era plan to limit salmonella bacteria in poultry products.

www.huffpost.com/entry/ap-us-...
The withdrawal โ€œsends the clear message that the Make America Healthy Again initiative does not care about the thousands of people who get sick from preventable foodborne salmonella infections linked to poultry,โ€ Eskin said in a statement.

There is nothing Trump and HIS DOJ won't do and nothing this Republican Congress will do. They have absolutely NO respect for our rule of law, our democracy or constitution!

Even if true, which I'm not so sure, why risk getting sick at all if we thankfully have access to preventative vaccines?

Will likely cost more than that considering Trump will have to pay people to come to his parade.

And I lost >$3000.00 in the last 10 days from my 401K. That is a little less than I had gained the last quarter under the Biden Administration. I'm 70!
