    I mean that is obvious isn’t it? He did nothing else his whole life…

    Americans obviously wanted a corrupt fascist grifter as president and now they get what they voted for…
    Everything is up for sale, and Americans can cheer for their king.

  2. Are we not well past the point where it’s safe to assume everything is a grift even if we can’t always work out the angle from the information we have

    No shit. Trump is obviously selling pardons & is the most corrupt ‘president’ in US history…

    >“There is a cabal of administration officials and MAGA-friendly lobbyists that are in league together,” Murphy continued. “They all huddle together at these elite restaurants and clubs in Washington, DC, and they likely hatch deals in which, if somebody pays a MAGA-affiliated lobbyist a couple hundred thousand dollars, then maybe you’ll be able to get a pardon.”

    >“There’s clearly a whole group of people around him that are making millions of dollars, and they’re handing out favors to folks in the form of pardons in order to make sure that they get their pockets lined,” the senator added. “That’s just, like, bread and butter corruption.”

    Since the start of his second term, Trump has used his pardon power to rescue well-connected executives and political allies from accountability, invariably claiming—without evidence—that the Biden administration manufactured the charges.

    >Many of those pardoned have been accused or convicted of white-collar crimes; “fraud” appears 57 times on the Justice Department page listing the names and offenses of those who have received clemency from the president this year.

    >Trump’s willingness to unthinkingly pardon fraudsters has spawned a lucrative business for lobbyists and consultants linked to the administration. *NBC News* reported earlier this year that “two people directly familiar with proposals to lobbying firms said they knew of a client’s offer of $5 million to help get a case to Trump.”

    he’s not wrong… pardons should fix injustice, not stack someone’s bank account. feels less like mercy and more like a side hustle.
