Remember when “Joe Biden”, aka the AutoPen, was signing pre-emptive pardons for his family members and cronies? It was unprecedented, “pardoning” people including pretty obscure family members who not only had not been accused of a crime but in many cases were people no one had even heard of.
The excuse was that the tyrant Trump would go after his political enemies, from Liz Cheney on the January 6th farcical “committee” to the heretofore unknown members of the Biden family. Of course none of that happened, just as no one ever looked at Hillary Clinton and the Clinton family/crime syndicate. No one has ever been held to account for the 2020 shenanigans or all of the other crap from Covid and the “vaccines” to the unjust show trial of Derek Chauvin.
Then remember when there was all that talk of challenging those “pardons” for people not yet even accused of a crime? Somehow that slipped through the cracks and I don’t think it is all the fault of Israel and this foolish, unwinnable war on Iran.
It is certainly peculiar how after a few hurfs and blurfs from Trump that the issue completely disappeared. No one talked about it. It might make a suspicious man ask “why”?
My theory on why is that Trump isn’t challenging it because he is going to do the same thing before his term is up. Democrats have made no secret of their intentions to go after Trump and his family criminally once he is out of office. At first I thought this was just more Orange Man Bad pettiness but now?
I am thinking there may be more to this than just spite.
There are a lot of shady things going on, from the golden cell phones that never got delivered to the crypto scheme, the weird timing on annoucements on Iran that caused massive shifts in the market to Barron Trump reportedly being worth over $100 million already.
I have known quite a few very wealthy people, no one on the scale of Trump, but one thing I have noticed is that for most of them when it comes to wealth there is no such thing as enough. Being content isn’t a quality you find in most wealthy people because it isn’t a quality that lends itself to becoming wealthy in the first place.
Most people have noticed a major shift in Trump from Year One to Year Two of Trump 2.0. Gone is the populist posturing. Now it seems to be All Israel All The Time and full on looting, getting what he can for his family dynasty by robbing the rotting corpse of what was once America.
Perhaps being able to see things most of us can’t he has come to realize, as many of /ourguys/ have figured out, that there is no saving this country and so he figures might as well get what he can, while he can. On the other hand I called this guy a New York City conman, a carnival barker writ large, back when he was running the first time and if anything he has more than lived down to my derision.
Watch and see. I will be shocked if Trump doesn’t emulate Biden by preemptively pardoning himself, his family and his cronies. The difference? The Left won’t hesitate to challenge his “pardons” and they have plenty of pet judges who will rule against the Bad Orange Man without hesitation. The Supreme Court as presently constituted probably won’t go along but I don’t think the SCOTUS will look as it does now for very much longer.
I don’t think people are going to like it when they get to see how the sausage is made.
The last act of a collapsing government is the looting of its treasury.
We are there–right now!
Our “leaders” (scumbags, all) go to D.C. to “govern,” meaning, to help themselves–with both hands–to all the perks, bennies, lobbying bribes-per-vote, pensions and outright grift/graft, hoping to stay there for life. The Congress is their sinecure, after all, their retirement home, with all the finest options, all paid for by We, the [Stupid Fkn Dumbass] People.
They go to D.C. because that’s where the money, the bribes, the criminality, the easy life, the notoriety and (especially) the INDEMNIFICATION OF ALL WRONGDOING occurs.
The average D.C. wannabe is a gddm SOCIOPATH; the top performers–Clintons, Bush’s, Trumps, O’Sodomites, Fauci’s, etc., rise to the level of fkn PSYCHOPATHS.
We can do nothing. Except pay our taxes so as to fund the abomination that is Modern America.
There are TWO Rules of Law: the Premier version, for all who purport to be our “leaders” (scumbags, all) who are indemnified against any and all acts of wrongdoing [there are exactly ZERO indictments filed against this class of sociopath/psychopath]; then there is the Plebeian Rule of Law, which governs all of the rest of we nobodies.
This latter Rule of Law requires our adherence to the entire weight of Fed/State/Local Statutes/Laws.
There are tens of thousands of indictments filed against this class yearly. Our adherence to “The Law” is expected, required, mandatory–failure to adhere is severely punished “to the fullest extent of the law.” [And, thanks to the Patriot Act and the NDAA, we can be disappeared at will, without a trace, at the whim of one of the above psychopaths].
We are entering the End Times.
Anyone wonder why I am Black-Pilled?
If money becomes worthless, everyone is poor. What is left is your skillset and the tangible things you possess that can make existence more bearable than the other guys.
Collapse is slow till it’s not, shore up everything you can before it becomes too late.
God Speed!
