  • Fuck off, Biden. Don’t let the door hit you on the way out. Pardons for you and your family and nothing for us, huh?

    By the way, accepting a presidential pardon is an admission of guilt. It’s why some people refuse them - it damages their ability to argue innocence in court cases.

    Funny how Biden thinks the felon in chief gives a shit about some magic words. If he wants to punish him, he will, and nobody can stop him now.


  • I noticed a trend with Trump’s executive order spree yesterday - almost all of them are just fluff or red meat for the base that don’t have any effect on anything, like the one defining genders, and others are so blatantly unconstitutional that they will be challenged and most likely never implemented, like the one in question terminating birthright citizenship - it’s guaranteed to go before the courts and get struck down. Doing something like that would require an constitutional amendment.

    He’s counting on the goldfish brain base to give him credit for doing these wacky things and then not pay attention three weeks from now when an ACLU lawsuit essentially puts the order in limbo before it dies in front of a judge.

    Trump might as well sign an executive order that declares himself Emperor of the Moon and Supreme Chancellor of Outer Space, it’ll have about the same amount of impact as this first round of executive orders will.


  • Reminder that California pays the highest federal taxes in the country and has never once complained about the cost of rebuilding in Florida despite annual devastating hurricanes or rebuilding in “tornado alley” despite frequent devastating tornadoes. People keep rebuilding their houses there and we never say shit.

    Californians did not build their houses in wildfire country, they built them in areas that were previously safe and have now become tinderboxes thanks to climate change. It’s not our fault that we are stuck holding the bag, but at least have the common courtesy of extending us the exact same aid money we send out to other high risk areas.
