tRump's pardoning power has already paid cash dividends to his various "crypto" ventures, as leading principles in the crypto field, previously convicted or investigated for all matters of fraud, money-laundering, etc., get their freedom ticket to ride, then plow tens of billions back into tRump family interests.

And this is just the start, as this felonious family has let it be known that any and all "deals" of questionable or straight-up illegality — such as bribery — will ultimately gain the perp a pardon...IF the price is right. So expect a shitload of billion-dollar transactions via crypto enrichment or "presidential library" contributions through the remainder of this blatantly criminal enterprise.

Oh, right, forgot the East Wing "ballroom" as the latest candidate for self-dealing...there literally is no end to this, ffs!

Bored as I am repeating myself like some mad dotard, I must repeat myself from yesterday and my General Theory of Why Trump Does What He Does, in this care regarding Abrego Garcia.

No doubt the inability to abuse Abrego Garcia as he wishes is driving Trump even crazier than his normal pathological state. The failure to get rid of Abrego Garcia is a high profile matter that in its prominence makes him look weak—in particular in front of the MAGAts and Trump’s fascist peers like Putin, Orban et al—and the pathological narcissist is all about his looks.

Short version: The crazy man is acting crazy. Little more than that, overwhelmingly disgusting and sickening as it is.

But wait, if that’s not sickening enough, this:

As for that piece, even more disgusting than Trump is the tens of millions of Americans cool with voting for that or not being moved to vote to block him.

I think it’s Miller as well. He’s a born sadist.

Without Trump Miller’s nothing.

While I think far too much credit/blame is given Trump at the expense of the party which has been tearing the nation down since Reagan without Trump, I’m talking here about a Theory of Trump. There’s too much overthinking why he does what he does. Most of the time it’s just he—monstrous, pathological, disgusting, infantile—doing what he wants to do with no more thought than that. It’s a waste of time and energies, an unaffordable distraction.

Jack Smith should have read his report right after the election - classified or not- and Biden should have pardoned him.

Liberia??? I just don't

think Abrego Garcia is

going anywhere,

anytime soon.

Gee, I was hoping Jack

Smith had saved

everything off to flash

drives so he wouldn't

have to ask this DOJ for

anything. This isn't going

to turn out too well. This

DOJ probably had a

huge burn bag of

everything from all his

work.

I can’t believe he doesn’t have copies somewhere.

Nothing is stopping Smith from telling all he knows now, and also telling his story in a Congressional hearing. He owes us so much more than just shrugging his shoulders and walking away.

If only these weasels would work half as hard on good faith efforts to bring about due process, as they do in creating obstacles, hindrances, bad faith transactions illustrating autocracy.
