    Unsealed court filings in Trumps felony classified documents case shows that a witness is going to testify that Trump promised at least one person, Walt Nauta, a Pardon in 2024 if he obstructed and lied to the FBI about Trump's illegal hoard of classified docs. And now Nauta -- is charged with obstructing the FBI ...

    I mean, we all already knew Trump was doing this behind the scenes, but now there is a witness willing to testify.

    How anyone can continue to support Trump is just baffling to me.

    Abuse of the pardon power for self gain has long been considered a prima facie impeachable offense. Not any more.

    If that had happened while he was in office, it would have been an impeachable offense. By itself it should be enough to keep him from being the party's nominee, let alone getting elected. But we live in interesting times, and his disciples won't care.

    "Interesting times" - indeed we do. Some say it is an ancient Chinese curse. Others say it dates only to the 19th century Bristish colonial era. Whatever its provenance it speaks of crisis. Also of interest is the fact the Chinese word for crisis is composed of 2 characters drawn in that logographic language. Individually the 2 mean danger and opportunity.

    Interesting...

    I always see righty MAGA posters in the football forum bitch and moan about how corrupt other football programs are, how slimy other head coaches are, how it’s not fair that they get away with it and how the system is broken etc…yet they’ll be the same ones valiantly defending corrupt lowlives like Trump. One day there will be a study done on this phenomenon known as TDS (Trump Defender Syndrome)

    I think he just crapped himself again.

    Hopefully, they gave him his adderall so he doesn't fall asleep.

    Judge isn't happy with him right now.

    It happened while he was in office. Just look at some of the weird pardons he granted. $$$$$$$
