A Fraudster Pardoned by Trump Gets 37 Years for Running Ponzi Scheme

Trump pardoned a ton of people ... and now they are committing new crimes. So don't tell me he's a "law and order" president. He's a criminal, who helps other criminals.

Hey Pam Bondi. This is John Mitchell. Gird your loins because you actually work for the people and not the president and you will eventually find out what that means.

Senate advances deal to reopen government after centrist Democrats strike major deal to end shutdown | CNN Politics A critical bloc of eight Senate Democratic centrists on Sunday helped advance a funding deal to reopen the government in exchange for a future vote on extending enhanced Affordable Care Act subsidies,...

I’m old enough to remember when the New Hampshire House passed a repeal of the death penalty and then-governor Jeanne Shaheen vetoed it because she wanted to become a Senator.

The left gets blamed for having fringe views that become associated with the party writ large - but this sort of capitulation, which is wholly the work of the β€œresponsible center” and absolutely backed by leadership, is so much more damning in the eyes of the public.
