If they understood/accepted what a POS hypocrite conman he is, it wouldn’t baffle them at all, but apparently they’re not ready to leave the cult just yet.

The mad king is running a patronage court. Wealthy people give tribute and the mad king grants boons.

His only plan is to enrich himself and he’s doing it one pardon at a time…

This maniac pardons a drug trafficker and goes on a unhinged rant, posting 150 times in like less than 2 hours, within days of each other…..
Come on, obviously the guy is his dealer.
Nobody posts that many times in 2 hours unless they’re high on something.
Trump’s probably sitting on a kilo right now, ready to go off on truth social at 3:00 in the morning, while getting as high as Elon Musk doing hot rails of ketamine moments before appearing at a presidential inauguration.

> The investigation started during the Trump administration,” he added. “The trial, I think, occurred during the Biden administration. I just think it’s horrible optics. I mean, we’re sending a mixed message. A dude that was convicted of trafficking 400 tons of cocaine… and let them go. Does that make sense?”
I have to give Tillis credit for actually calling this out. Trump claims that the entire investigation was a hit job by the Biden administration.
That said, every time a sitting GOP senator calls out Trump, they always do it from a “I’m confused as to why he’s doing this” angle, like they’re simply below Trump’s “genius” and not that he’s doing anything wrong. I hate it.

Trump has no morals, the bribes come in, the signatures happen.

Yeah, right. They will forget about after a week and keep voting red.

You just cannot make this up. Trump makes blunder after blunder — moves so incompetent that for any other president they’d be earth-shattering news.
And he’s doing it every single day.
Yet stories that would dominate headlines for any other president barely make it past the back pages, if they get printed at all. That’s just how fucking crazy it is.

There is nothing baffling about it, trump was paid off and he doesn’t care about the optics.

It shouldn’t baffle anybody. The man had connections to Peter Thiel.
JFJinCO on
What’s baffling about it? The thug paid 47 a lot of money, and he pardoned him.
Simmery on
They aren’t baffled. They are lying. They all know what Trump is.

What exact part is baffling? How are they confused by this? Is it not obvious corruption
key1234567 on
No sh’t, we all know they are paying Trump for these pardons. Come on congress, wake the f up.
DocBill33 on
Follow the money. Did he pay Trump for the pardon?

They don’t hate it – they don’t care
ETA if they hate it do something about it

What? Show Me the Money… and he did

Maybe we can pass a constitutional amendment allowing Congress to veto any presidential pardon. Republicans might be on board.

What’s baffling? Trump is handing out pardons for money. He’s a corrupt, rapist, pedophile, felonious piece of fucking shit that is ruining America.
Sioux-me on
Oh come on. They’re baffled? I don’t think so. They know exactly why he did it. Money. The guy bought his pardon and they know it.
ThirdDimensionGate on
Oh yes “baffled” I’m sure
He’s a criminal grifter and rapist who led an insurrection.
I’m sure we are baffled about Trump selling pardons and shitting all over the constitution
Get real

Baffles? why? They damn well know he’s accepting bribes

It’s about the network state Prospera. Peter Theil funded. And the former president and his affiliated Nationalist party is bought and paid for by Peter Theil.
Peter Theil has quickly risen to near the top of bad dark money traitors to America. Though he is German.

Stop pretending to be “baffled.” No one buys your fake pearl-clutching.

Nobody who has been paying attention is ‘baffled’ by this. I’ll spell it out for you:
They give him money. He pardons them. That’s it, it’s not baffling.
He doesn’t care that one day he says he’s waging war on drug smugglers, then the next day lets the biggest drug smuggler we have in prison out on a full pardon. He’s been pulling the wool over your guys’ eyes for so long, he doesn’t even bother trying to hide it anymore.
Pokerhobo on
It’s all pretty obvious and doesn’t require much thinking. If you are:
– loyal and willing to try to perform a coup
– willing to pay him $1M directly
You will get pardoned
Dudeist-Priest on
Nobody is baffled
Jagermonsta on
It’s not hard to understand. Trump is a crook and is running at peak corruption levels. Any republican acting baffled or surprised by Trumps behavior is either lying, a complete moron, or both.
