Trump returned to CBS for the first time after suing and settling with the company. He claimed to “know nothing” about Binance founder Changpeng Zhao, despite the president having pardoned him after his company boosted the Trump family’s crypto business.

    FTA:

    “Can you imagine the reaction if Joe Biden said he pardoned someone because Hunter told him to? If Biden blindly freed a scammer based solely on his son’s recommendation — no due diligence, no second thought — conservative media would be frothing at the mouth.”

    We don’t have to wonder:

    “I would say that they’re null and void, because I’m sure Biden didn’t have any idea that it was taking place,” Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One in March.

    Trump added in a social media post the next day: “In other words, Joe Biden did not sign them but, more importantly, he did not know anything about them!”

        Their entire MO is to keep the enemy constantly on the defensive and unbalanced because they never know what they’re going to be attacked for next. It’s a HUGE distraction from the crimes Republicans are constantly perpetuating while the idiots willingly buying their shit (in order to avoid admitting they fucked up) fume at Democrats.

          What’s crazy is that all we have to do is go aggro offensive. South Park them to their face on live TV. Have a young fit Democrat tell a pundit to do something about it on live air. Take your fucking shirt off even on your not in shape. Flip the table, literally, then call him a pussy ass bitch and challenge him on the spot.

          MAGAts are like fucking lead poisoned babies. All they want is conflict, and they’ll cheer for whomever is the most aggressive. Say you’ll execute Trump, his kids, and every other rich ‘non Christian, non hetero’ traitor who betrayed us.

          They’ll eat that shit up. All they want is vengeance and a sense of justice. Like we all do. They’re just very primal which makes them easy to manipulate. Killing them all and their kids wouldn’t be impossible, but it wouldn’t make things any better. We have to bridge the divide. We have to reconcile. And a common enemy is the quickest way to do that.

          Once we get their votes we can start to address the deep seeded issues behind our current dilemma, and improve things for 99% of the population.

          The 1% who enabled Trump will be executed. Possibly their adult heirs as well, if they were deeply involved in aiding the sedition of the US government.

        Yup that’s one of the sources for the godawful amount of hair mousse they all use. And accounts for some of the ‘eau de halitosis’ odour they all have.
