So Biden is going to pardon everybody, including Adam Schiff. Or so is the scuttlebutt. Sweeping and all encompassing pardons for the whole lot of them.
J6 committee too. You would think that if they had Trump dead to rights, that they would have released everything they had, instead of shredding it.
Well, we'll see. Maybe he won't do it, but I hope he does, because the world needs to see what a craven and corrupt class of scumlords we have running this country.
What's sad is that if you watch their behavior, the EU is even worse. Supposedly Ukraine is a corrupt sh*th*le, but the US spends a trillion dollars a year on weapons and soldiers, and what has it bought us? Putin spends about a tenth as much, and yet he is winning his war. I would say that if Putin is corrupt, if Zelensky is corrupt, they are small time grifters compared to the people running our country.
I wonder if the 1% in this country are paying attention to how easy it is to reach out and touch them.
Today's assassination of the CEO of United Health (pay last year: $50 million, up from $2 million in 2005) should give every last one of them pause.
You can run fake insurance agencies that routinely deny people health care, but you can also be murdered on your way to Starbucks.
They should remember that.
The President of the United States can, by mere statement, declare these people clear and present dangers to the national security of the United States of America and dispense justice to them.
If the President is interested in justice.
I suspect this one isn't.

So why does Anthony Fauci need a pardon?
No "Truth and reconciliation for you, America!"
"So why does Anthony Fauci need a pardon?"
I can think of 7 million reasons.
I keep reading about Democrats complaining that they should have had a primary after Biden bowed out of the campaign. Ridiculous! Joe withdrew from the campaign on July 21st. The Democrats had scheduled their national convention for August 21st. Could they have possibly conducted a multistate primary from scratch in less than a month? Even if they slipped the date of the convention — and they probably couldn’t for regulatory and contractual reasons — there were limits as to how the convention. could be moved to the right because the nominee needs time to campaign.
Biden’s insistence on running for re-election gave the Democrats a weak hand to play, and thy played it poorly.
The runt should be sent to Isola d'Elba, a small island off the coast of Italy…where he can spend the rest of his days in custody.
Seems appropriate.
I saw discussion at the time that they could turn the convention into a primary. Have the delegates select the candidate. That's what they're there for anyways, after all. Would have made for great theater.
Here are the peaceful pro-EU protesters in Georgia, who are unhappy about the election results, although the president who says that she will not step down refuses to release her "evidence" that the election was rigged.

Remember that those green lasers that the "peaceful protesters" are shining at the faces of the riot police can cause permanent blinding and there use to blind is considered a war crime by the majority of countries in the world.
This is Kiev in 2014 all over again. Foreigners, US State Dept employees, NGO's etc, trying to overturn a democratic election. For the same reason, like Ukraine, nobody in the world would care about Georgia if it weren't on Russia's border.
We use these countries, and wreck them, for our own geopolitical ends.
Twitter via Reddit: I found Rh's super-secret social account. 😉
Voxday suggests it's vaxx related...
As likely a theory as any.
DemoncRAT party bigwigs not allowing anyone else to run in the primary is the kicker. They did it to themselves. Bernie might have won the primary. If Biden had been forced to debate a primary opponent early on- he'd have been toast. The race would have been wide open for anyone. And if it got to the convention with no one in the majority- they could have brokered their backroom deals.
"Remember that those green lasers that the "peaceful protesters" are shining at the faces of the riot police can cause permanent blinding"
Depends on their power output.
That is an obvious implication of the early Hunter pardon -- Joe has a month and a half to act. It would be hilarious because then Joe would say all those who are pardoned were federal felons. These are mostly Democrats but Liz Cheney too. Still, there have been many negative reactions to the Hunter pardon and even suggestions that Joe should pardon Trump to put an 'equitable' end to the TDS era.
If Joe's handlers are sensitive to history (a stretch given their death dance with Putin), the Democrats are in a period not unlike the French Reign of Terror or various Soviet purges of the 20th century. Endless oneupmanship, saving face, flipping from favor to disfavor, and more and more use of the gulag or guillotine.
And here's 'Jaq' again, pretending to know what's going on in Georgia, pretending to know exactly what kind of lasers the protesters are allegedly using, pretending not to know that hundreds of protesters have been savagely beaten, tear-gased, water-cannoned, and dragged off bleeding to jail or hospital for peacefully demonstrating, that government forces are now dragging opposition politicians out of their houses.
He also stupidly repeats his claim that anyone who gets elected (with or without cheating) must be allowed to finish his term, no matter how he behaves in office. Does that apply to South Korea? The elected president just declared martial law under false pretenses and sent marines to attack legislators and try to prevent them from doing their job. I'm pretty sure they're going to impeach him now and remove him from office for this gross misbehavior. How dare they?! He was democratically elected!
As usual, Jaq knows nothing about what motivates Georgians and Ukrainians, who are not NPCs and are perfectly capable of judging their rulers for themselves, as South Koreans are.
The Brian Thompson memes on Facebook are plentiful and brutal. My favorite: Brian Thompson’s lead poisoning is a preexisting condition, coverage denied.
Many people have commented that a father cannot be blamed for pardoning his son, if it is within his power. I will just note, that if the crimes the son were accused of were, say, grand larceny, rape and murder, they wouldn't be saying that. Way too many things are illegal.
Of course, for all we know, Biden did pardon grand larceny, rape and murder. Well. Actually, no. None of those are federal crimes.
The market has already discounted that. Every serious player has security. This guy just hadn't made the transition, from "just walkin' down the street" to armored limos with stone-faced guys in shades and earphones.
Creighton defeats number one Kansas!
"And here's 'Jaq' again... Were you thinking that we are all enjoying your running revenge denouement campaign? What are you offering that offsets this, that is factual and enlightening, and verifiable - you know, links and stuff? Why don't you tell us what's happening in Georgia? That would be potentially interesting.
Dixcus, you are SO full of shit!!! You have repeatedly asserted that what Obama did to a terrorist citizen waging war from abroad against the US broadly applies to any and all citizens, anywhere and anytime, unilaterally.
MANY here have given you the equivalent of "bad dog!" swats to your snout over your nonsense.
STFU.
If Biden pardons hundreds or thousands of public officials not yet charged with crimes , he will confirm that they are all criminals.
Not a good look for the Dems, and a worse outcome for the country, which will see their President as just another masquerading gangster.
Now that's great news says this fellow J alum.
As everyone is aware- there are several different types of lying. Just plain out deliberate lying and "Oops! I was mistaken!" are two major ones. And then there's "I was fooled by the liars and acted on that." People hate to admit they were fooled... as a lot of decision makers were. Krisi Noem wasn't...
Another study showing medical authorities-as in Fauci et al, were lying- about some pretty serious stuff. Was it deliberate? Or were they mistaken? Methinks the evidence points to deliberate. A lot of scientific jargon in the link- but the one big item to take from it is- the Vaxx contained DNA- which we were told it didn't. DNA makes it gene therapy- which we were told it wasn't... Even if it's contamination. And if it can't be produced without DNA contamination- it shouldn't be administered to humans nor animals.

Not a lot of sympathy on left-leaning social media for the guy:
Across social media, the response to the killing of UnitedHealthcare's CEO was contemptuous of the industry he represented (Rolling Stone)
Excerpt:
"The fatal shooting of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson outside a Midtown Manhattan hotel on Wednesday morning was a shock to the city and the nation. But as police hunted for the missing gunman in what they called a “premeditated, pre-planned, targeted attack,” social media erupted with contempt for the health insurance industry he represented — and his company in particular.
“Saw mainstream news coverage about the killing of the CEO of United Healthcare on TikTok and I think political and industry leaders might want to read the comments and think hard about them,” wrote political activist Tobita Chow in a post on X, formerly Twitter. In screenshots he shared, TikTok users reacted to the story with blistering references to the costly and often unnavigable for-profit U.S. health insurance system. “Sending prior authorization, denied claims, collections & prayers to his family,” wrote one.
“As someone covered under UnitedHealthCare I can completely understand the actions taken,” wrote an X user replying to a news link about Thompson’s murder “being investigated as a possible hit,” according to a statement from law enforcement. “Did he have a pre-existing condition?” asked another. And under an ABC News TikTok on police officers’ efforts to find the killer, a user asked, “Why are they investigating this?”"
I thought the ACA fixed all that. Sounds more like the social media commenters want single payer to fix it again, even more so. But they want socialism, so it's no surprise. Strange, too, that United Healthcare is AARP's preferred company.
Something about this doesn't pass the sniff test.
At least they know they are what they called their "disobedience". Sit down MEN...and not on the toilet. And WHERE are the Capitol Police?? Sleeping?? If these were Trump supporters they would already be in the gulag.

One protest today involved the Women's Restroom at the US Capitol where activists had a trans, non-binary, and queer dance party in an act of "Cunty Civil Disobedience."

I was drawn to the Republican party because of the promise to reduce the federal government. But Reagan, Bush Sr., and Bush Jr. never even made an attempt to do so. At best, the only thing they ever seemed to do was lower taxes. But that only made the debt problem worse. Trump may be the first Republican President who may actually reduce the federal government.
I can't WAIT until they have to pay this man millions for their lies. Although WE will be paying it, I think the money should come from the lying January 6th committee since THEY lied to America and covered up the election steal in 2020. After they pay the man, THEY all need to take his place in prison.

Fauci doesn't need a pardon. He already received a Presidential Commendation from Trump for his work fighting Covid.
I can’t wait for him to do these blanket pardons! It’ll be a grand outing and paint each person with a giant G for Guilty of something bad. It’ll ruin each and every reputation and be a a couple black eyes on the Blue team.
You have to wonder if Biden will do it specifically to hurt the Blue team because they pushed him out. Similar to endorsing Harris and calling Trump voters garbage, he knows how to revenge. He must want Pelosi and Obama to be included on that list…
Unfortunately, Jupiter, you’re no longer right about federal crimes. Any crime deemed a politically useful “hate crime” can and has been prosecuted by the Feds, even after state prosecution for the same crime. Some are so minor they’re risible — a shouting match, for example.
Double jeopardy is out the window too.
Talk about norms, when ever has a President issued prophylactic pardons? It’ll be an epic scandal in and of itself. “No one is above the law” will be dead.
Isn’t “cunty” hate speech? Isn’t men invading a women’s bathroom punishable in any way? Did they expose themselves, commit frottage, etc.?
Note that new top Judiciary Democrat Jamie Raskin milked his son’s suicide in every single possible public forum and blamed it on Trump, though it occurred after Biden won and before any discord manifested after the 2020 election. The son was mentally ill and seems to have been occupied with other issues, especially veganism.
Yet years later, Raskin still links his poor son’s terrible choice to end his life to Trump.
A real sicko as a father and a human.
Biden is so corrupted that he has to pardon everybody his filthy hands have touched, including himself. They’re all scumbags and won’t hesitate to squeal like pigs. His handlers are corrupted and autopen can handle the bulk of them.
ChicagoBoyz has an RIP posting about Michael Kennedy, including pointing to his blog and other postings about him.
He told me that the French born president of Georgia, who says she won't step down at the end of her term, was from a family of Georgians who were left Georgia due to "persecution."
It turns out that her grandfather was a very prominent Nazi in Georgia.

BTW, I am all for throwing that guy out in South Korea. Once the opposition, which is far more popular, solidifies their hold on the administration, some sanity may return. For one thing, they strongly oppose crossing China over its province, Taiwan, which they rightly say is none of their business.
What I like about this fear is that it is way, way better than Trump's DOJ sending a bunch of Democrat officials to prison. Arresting Trump was a joke. Putting his mug shot out there (celebrating it!) was disgusting. There was a suspicious assassination attempt. They raided his house. Four simultaneous criminal prosecutions in an election year! It's an appalling list of crimes. But if we were to go after Democrats like they went after us, it would not end it, in my opinion. It would simply create more division and hate in our society.
On the other hand, if Biden pardons a bunch of people, it would acknowledge that the Justice system that went after Trump was corrupt and dishonest. It would acknowledge that we had a crooked government that went after him. And it would take criminal remedies off the table.
This would give Trump the momentum to do a real house cleaning at FBI and other federal agencies. And the people who hated Trump and conspired to keep him out of office would be branded as the criminals they are. Not by Trump, but by Joe Biden. It would be almost like confessing your crimes. I hope Biden does it.
Aggie:
Have you noticed that I never bring up Ukraine or Georgia here, and only talk about either if someone else, usually 'Jaq', brings them up, as he almost invariably does on open threads, almost as if he's being paid to do so? Have you noticed that even then I only reply if he includes bald-faced lies that invariably conform to Putinite propaganda? And that many of these lies have already been refuted, but he just waits a few days and repeats them again?
(By the way, my name is at the top of my comments, making them very easy to skip over unread.)
Here he tells us the Georgian president's grandfather was a Nazi, because he couldn't be bothered to read as far as the fourth reply in that thread, in which the tweeter admitted he was wrong, and it was an uncle. Nor does he mention that her parents left Georgia in 1921, to escape the communists, long before Nazism was anything more than a gleam in Hitler's eye. Nor does he mention that no one is responsible for things his or her grandfather or uncle does: I've heard lots of strong criticism of RFK Jr, but no one has blamed him for his grandfather's well-known Nazi sympathies. He's not responsible for them, so bringing them up would be swinishly stupid.
I also note that 'Jaq' admits that it would be perfectly fair for South Korea to kick out a legitimately elected prime minister before the end of his term for gross misbehavior. Why can't he admit that Ukraine and Georgia have the same right? And why does he drag in his stoooopid claim that China has a perfect right to invade Taiwan? Has he never heard of the consent of the governed?
I don't see any post that denies that her maternal grandfather was a nazi. Maybe you could link it.
You don't see your own damned comment, 'Jaq'? Do you read what you post here before posting it? If not, who writes your comments for you?
I wrote that you obviously hadn't bothered to read "the fourth reply in that thread". How can you not understand what that means? Go to the link YOU GAVE in your 7:24am comment and scroll down to the fourth reply (not counting ads). In it, the original tweeter adds "Micheal kedia was her uncle , not grandfather. i mixed up some translations , but the original point still stands, and her uncle is even closer to her than grandfather!" In a reply to that, someone says that's not true either, because the Nazi's father had a different first name from her grandfather's, so they're not related at all. Is that true? I don't know, but it's certainly plausible. In any case, it doesn't matter, as my RFK comparison demonstrates.
Once again, you'll believe any old crap that makes enemies of Putin look bad.
There was no such fourth reply in the thread the way X presented the thread to me. The only thing that I saw about her uncle was that he was a famous quisling, which I didn't mention, because I wasn't able to trace down what was meant. For now, it's just a random tweet to me, but it did mention her uncle.
More lies from clown 'Jaq', who pretends to be unable to search a phrase in a Twitter thread! The fact is that the Twitter guy he linked said the Nazi collaborator was her grandfather, corrected himself to say he was her uncle, and replies from actual Georgians saof that's not true either, that her grandfather and the Nazi's father had different first names and were not the same person.
It looks like some Putinist moron, probably non-Georgian, was trying to trash her, found that her mother had the same last (maiden) name as a notorious Nazi collaborator, and assumed that they were the same person. That's like blaming George Jones for the People's Temple massacre, when it was Jim Jones, no relation.
Names that look unusual and rare to us may be quite common in other countries. For example, two of the greatest modern African musicians are Mamadou Diabaté of Mali and Mamadou Diabaté of Burkina Faso, no relation.
