Clemency is for convicted criminals. Restitution is for the victims of false convictions and imprisonment. Clemency says, yes, they are criminals, but letβs be nice to them. Donβt use my tax dollars to pay Trumpβs criminal army.

Itβs like the guy who tells his wife that heβll stay with her so long as she allows him to have affairs. She says no, and he tells all his friends (of course without context) that she wanted the divorce, not him
They needled Zelenskyy until he lost his temper, and now they say he doesnβt want peace

I couldnβt take any more of the news cycle or of Facebook (not a relaxing place to be these days, and I have been part of the problem) so I logged off FB for at least until the first of March, deleted it from my phone, and watched Spirited Away for the first time. Very restorative.

Had a conversation with a non political person whose buddy works for the forest service and was 10 months into his job supplying hard to reach parts of a national forest and was fired. The guy talking to me was like βI donβt really think my buddyβs $50,000 salary is gonna balance the budget.β
