I do not give a shit that he pardoned his kid, who definitely was targeted unfairly, but his taking that step while failing to act on the thousands of pardon applications on his desk or to remedy the crack/powder disparity or to commute federal death sentences just makes it fucking disgusting. He's a horrible old piece of shit who has only ever cared about his wealthy donors and his own family, he deserves the legacy he'll get, and it just fucking sucks that he took the rest of us down with him.

This was a misfire at attempting to reference Donnie as "the most persecuted politician ever." Sorry that didn't land.

I think Biden waiting to do something like this in the last weeks of his presidency is funny. I think Hunter being an absolute wastrel dipshit is also funny, as the Dems love decorum. Fucking your brother's widow is not decorum.

If Joe's attitude to the pardon was "Fuck this country, and fuck the people in it." I would understand completely.

I guarantee you that is his attitude.

Maybe this is well known, but this is something else...holy moly.
The Return of the King is the final book in the Plot Against The King Trilogy. This book continues the silly yet important journey of the MAGA King as he returns to take down Comma-la-la-la and reclaim his throne. This fun story is a great way to start a conversation with your kids about the election. It's also the perfect gag gift for a liberal friend or family member!

Yes, I'm always looking for racist children's books that fellate a venal sex offender. Thank you, Kash, for your service to Project 2025.

So it appears that it was really nothing more than a stunt by a lame duck president who isn't getting his way and now he's relenting after literally no one agreed with it.

I have a feeling that this is just one of many wacky off-the-wall things we're going to see in the next four years.

It’s been holding at 90 seconds until midnight for a couple of years. Don’t they usually update it in January? Hopefully they’ll take it down to a minute so it’ll fit better with the Iron Maiden song.
