Birds of a feather and all that
I mean, I guess he could roll out more tomorrow, but why wait? Now he's got less than 12 hours to go, needs to get some sleep, needs to get down to Florida for his Farewell Counter-Party which assume is happing alongside the inauguration for optimal pettiness, etc etc.
His going away "party" is 8am at the Air Force base, meaning he'll be out of the White House by like 6-7a. Doubt there's anything else coming apart from him crying in his pillow.I mean, I guess he could roll out more tomorrow, but why wait?

Don't worry he'll be back there if he don't change like Gucci mane
Had to google that one, and that's definitely gross. Holy shit, what a corrupt, worthless scumbag.
No, we need to do the fucking work to curb authoritarians from getting in these positions in the first place, not neutering their ability to rectify real issues.We need to remove the power of Presidential Pardons, or put a lot of restrictions on it.
LOL that tickles me to no endMost notably, he pardoned Bannon but not the other three indicted in Bannon's case. Too bad for them.
The founders assumed you'd just impeach a president who abuses that power.We need to remove the power of Presidential Pardons, or put a lot of restrictions on it.
Jesus, was Donald writing this stuff himself? I mean, obviously not, he doesn't have the attention span and the grammar's too good, but c'mon people. American history had literal witch hunts. Innocent lives were lost due to superstition and sexism. But sure, your buddies getting caught doing white collar crime is way worse.This pardon helps right the wrongs of what has been revealed to be perhaps the greatest witch hunt in American History.
They never learn that he doesn't fuck with em. The stupidity of these Trumpers knows no bounds
Source this please... not hearing this from any reputable sources other than the fact that he wields the power up until 12pm.
Trump certainly has a fondness for pardoning corrupt politicians. Tonight he pardoned Kwame Kilpatrick, the former Mayor of Detroit, who was convicted on racketeering and bribery charges.
Other Trump pardons/commutations for corrupt politicians:
Edit: And just to put the final cherry on top of this corruption sundae -
- Rod Blagojevich - Blagojevich was sentenced in 2011 to 14 years in federal prison on corruption charges related to his solicitation of bribes in an attempt to "sell" the Senate seat Barack Obama left open after he was elected president.
- Duncan Hunter and his wife - Former Republican Rep. Duncan Hunter was sentenced to 11 months in federal prison for corruption charges stemming from the illegal misuse of hundreds of thousands of dollars in campaign funds.
- Chris Collins - The first sitting congressman to support President Donald Trump's bid for the White House was sentenced to 26 months in prison after pleading guilty to federal charges in an insider trading case. He pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit securities fraud and making false statements.
- Steve Stockman - Stockman was sentenced to 10 years in 2018 after he was convicted of nearly two-dozen felonies, including fraud. Prosecutors said the conservative firebrand from Friendswood misused $1.25 million in funds from political donors to pay for expenses like hot air balloon rides, kennel bills and a new dishwasher — rather than for charity like the donors were told. He was also accused of planting an undercover intern in the state House office of a political rival.
- Rick Renzi - In 2013, Renzi was convicted by a Tucson jury of 17 out of 32 counts for corruption including wire fraud, conspiracy, extortion and lying to insurance regulators. According to the prosecutors, Renzi had used his position to enrich himself and help fund his 2002 political campaign by embezzling money from an insurance company and orchestrating a federal land swap.
- Duke Cunningham - The California Republican spent more than seven years in prison after pleading guilty in November 2005 to charges of tax evasion and conspiracy to commit bribery, mail fraud, and wire fraud. Cunningham, who was 64 when he was sentenced in March 2006, had used his positions on the House Appropriations and Intelligence committees to steer lucrative contracts to those who would help him finance an extravagant lifestyle featuring 19th-century French antiques, yachts, Persian rugs, hunting trips, a Rolls Royce, and a $2.55 million home in an exclusive community in San Diego County.
Trump just rescinded his executive order banning administration officials from becoming lobbyists for 5 years after leaving politics, breaking one of his key campaign promises to drain the swamp.
