I like thinking he was avenging some family member(s) who died due to claim denials, or something along those lines. If we find out he's some Qanon weirdo operating on some conspiracy about endrinochrome or whatever, it's really going to dampen the vibes.
If that was Biden's motivation, then where is Fauci's pardon? Or Adam "Enemy from Within" Schiff's pardon? Or what about Liz Chenney who is supposed to face treason charges according to Trump, where is her pardon? What about Jack Smith, where is his pardon? Kash Patel has an appendix in his book which is a literal enemies and prosecution list, any pardons for anyone on that list?
If Biden was concerned about the Trump justice department going after his political enemies, and Biden wanted to protect those people, there's probably 80+ pardons he should be handing out.
But instead he only issued one. For his son. So Biden is either actually concerned about overreach of the Trump justice department but he's only willing to save his son, and leave everyone else hanging. Or, Biden isn't actually that concerned with the Trump justice department and is just abusing his pardon power to protect his shithead son from the consequences of his own actions. Either way, fuck Joe Biden.
I would legitimately be down with a website that prefaces recipes with dark stories like this, instead of the mundane stuff about how your kid didn't like to eat anything but then you made this and blah blah blah
That page is very well done and interesting, thanks for sharing!
I heard the FBI has a file on Tulsi Gabbard and her activities with Russia et al. Biden could declassify that report to tank her becoming DNI. Mentioned on the "Hacks on Tap" podcast from yesterday, so this isn't just some social media conspiracy theory, it comes from plugged in politicos. Biden won't, but he could.
Let me introduce you to the US Senate.

Correct, this was from a brief phase where Trump was trying on bipartisanship, and Schumer was trying to connect with him as a fellow New Yorker. I remember the talk at the time was Trump might go the way of Arnold Schwarzenegger when he was CA governor, tacking to the center and trying to become bipartisan to improve his approval ratings and mitigate midterm losses and ultimately set him up better for reelection. Obviously, it didn't work out like that, but there was a brief time where bipartisanship was on the table.
Hope Dan has room in his home studio!
It's not part of the government. It will have no power or influence. It's a set piece, just part of the show. The point is to pretend to be focused on government waste and to bring in smart outsiders to do it. The point is to get liberals pissed off so Republicans can tell voters Democrats are so out of touch, they get mad at anything Trump does, even cutting government waste. It won't end up even issuing recommendations or doing anything, we'll all just forget about it in two weeks. Trump gets the headline, the reaction from libs who just love government waste, further eating into our negative perception among voters, and we'll all move on to the next outrage in the Trump show.
Learn the lesson now. Don't react to every dumb thing Trump does. He's a showman, there will always be a next act to keep the masses entertained, we don't have to play a supporting role all the time. Roll your eyes, demand he follow through and show results, ridicule him for failure when nothing comes of it. Save the outrage for when people are getting hurt.
Correct
an entity Trump indicated will operate outside the confines of government.
So this is just a blue ribbon commission that's going to collect donations, maybe government grants, write some kind of report, then send it to Congress where it will be promptly ignored because it's recommendations will be too politically toxic for actual Republicans up for reelection to implement.
This reminds me of 2016, Trump claimed he won the popular vote but millions of illegal aliens voted, so he set up some dumb commission to investigate all the election fraud. It held a hearing or two, wasted a bunch of money, didn't find any evidence of anything, then quietly disappeared.
Anyone on the left needs to be ready for this kind of shit and to respond appropriately. Trump will do a bunch of shit for show that doesn't mean anything. Part of that show is getting the libs all outraged and worked up. Then Trump and Co can say "Look at those Dems with their Trump derangement syndrome lashing out at our brave president trying to cut government waste, Dems are so out of touch, yada yada". This is the playbook, he's been doing it for a decade now. Don't play the game, save the outrage for real shit that hurts real people.
Biden was objectively less coherent than Trump. And I don't say that to praise Trump, it's just reality. Also the media did a great job of sane washing Trump, cutting out specific sentences he said, rather than letting voters see the full incoherent rambling. But Trump did a better job of forming sentences, I'm sorry but that's true. Go back and listen to Biden's full remarks when he made the garbage comment, somewhere in that word salad it sounded like he was about to refer to his home town as being in Puerto Rico, realizing his mistake he pivoted and just shot out the garbage remark.
On the plus side, voters are going to be treated to 4 years of uninterrupted exposure to Trump's ramblings as his mind continues to diminish. The media can't sane wash that.
That's a good point. I'm endlessly fascinated the Back to the Future was not a planned trilogy. I always assumed it was well into adulthood.
