Does Cuellar have the full support of Schumer and Jeffries?

On the one hand, this is pretty funny schadenfreude.
On the other hand, fuck this guy completely.

Lol, he should direct Bondi to go after him again.

Why the hell would the Party accept a convicted pardoned felon? We’re not the republicans.

Trump now to claim that the pardon was signed with Auto-Pen so it must be rescinded.

And there ya go right there…evidence he expects something for the pardons.

It’s telling that Trump views pardons as transactional favors instead of matters of justice. The fact that he “regrets” one because it didn’t buy loyalty says a lot about how he approaches presidential power.
Pardons aren’t supposed to be political IOUs.

The whole situation is another reminder that Trump evaluates everything through personal benefit. Cuellar running again isn’t a betrayal it’s just democracy.
If a former president is lamenting past pardons based on electoral convenience, that’s a pretty big red flag for how he’d use power again.

Wait ‘til he finds out about all those pardoned Jan 6ers’ plots to overthrow—oh, wait. He _wants_ them to do that again

Maybe he can claim he signed the pardon by autopen so it’s void. That’s bigley brain thinking there.

Dems can’t trust Cuellar. He needs to be primaried. If he were to be re-elected, he would be the next Fetterman.

Nope, anything Trump touches is corrupt and I don’t want anything to do with it.

But not the January 6ers who are going right back to crime?

Could have had Jessica Cisneros. Thanks Pelosi/Clyburn/DCCC.

Wait, he can do that? I mean, the conviction still stands, even if the penalty is removed, isn’t it?

I see a pattern emerging. Trump is pardoning all of these high ranking prisoners with political backgrounds probably in hopes that it will be seen as the new norm to pardon such people. That way if he ever goes to prison, people will be demanding that he get the same treatment.
But he’s too dumb to realize that these people are in prison for a reason. They aren’t there because of an unfair system. They are rich and powerful. If they were innocent, they would have never gone in the first place. They are there because they *actually* corrupt. And once out, they will keep on doing what they are doing because they got a literal “get out of jail” card from the president himself.

Regrets this one but not pardoning drug lords.

He will switch sides after reelection.

This “gratitude kink” is really disturbing.

He must have advertised he was going to switch parties.

Let me guess he’s going to claim it was an autopen pardon.

He could say “auto pen” and it’s void, even if he thinks it

Yeah but the guy who smuggled 400 tons of coke is cool

I feel like you should not be allowed to run for office if you have been pardoned. A pardon means you are guilty
