"..“We were somewhere in DC, at the inauguration, when the drugs began to take hold. I remember saying something like ‘I feel a bit lightheaded; maybe you should bribe…’ And suddenly there was a terrible roar all around us, and the sky was full of what looked like huge bats, all swooping and screeching, and diving around the dais, which felt like it was going about hundred miles an hour with the top down to Las Vegas. And a voice was screaming: ‘Holy Jesus! What are these goddamn animals?’

Then it was quiet again. Zuckerberg had taken his shirt off and was pouring beer on his chest, to facilitate the tanning process. ‘What the hell are you yelling about?’ he muttered, staring up at the sun with his eyes closed and covered with wraparound Spanish sunglasses. ‘Never mind.’ I said. ‘It’s your turn to drive.’ I hit the brakes and aimed the great red shark toward the shoulder of the highway. No point mentioning those bats, I thought. The poor b-astard will see them soon enough.”."

"Coast Guard Commandant Linda Fagan was just terminated for prioritizing DEI ahead of border security."

We're done with this nonsense.

A little trip down memory lane:


"Trump himself faced scorn from the media after it was reported he was entertaining preemptive pardons following his defeat in 2020."

On Dec. 1, 2020, The New York Times ran the headline "Trump Has Discussed With Advisers Pardons for His 3 Eldest Children and Giuliani,"

""If you had to build a 2020 time capsule in advance, this is probably something that you would have invented to put into the 2020 time capsule," MSNBC star Rachel Maddow told viewers with a grin while holding up a copy of the Times report.

"The idea of a kind of prospective pardon, this sort of permanent federal Get Out of Jail Free card, That seems to be what we're talking about in the case of this, right?" Maddow's MSNBC colleague Chris Hayes said. "With Giuliani and his three eldest children, who, as far we know, have not been convicted of a crime. Maybe they've committed a lot and they don't want to face action. I don't know. It's weird. I wouldn't ask for a pardon. I don't think I deserve one because I don't think I've done anything criminal. But like, where does that come from? That concept you can just kind of wave your magic pardon wand?"



Trump didn't pardon his kids. He didn't have to.
