If some people who were swayed by the current administration's campaign lies still can't see who and what they serve, then they are not only complicit, they have lost their souls to open corruption and venality. I'm glad Warren County has recognized the good work of the Lower Adirondack Pride organization. Yet to come: conflict of interest practices.
I wonder what many people really feel about our country's gun culture compared to other countries considered less powerful or influencial than ours. Isn't it feeding the self-centered, bully/coward, paranoid mindset all too prevalent in a society that idolizes self-aggrandisement as the ultimate personal achievement?
Recent rants, Ted Cruz for example, go on and on about the validity of Biden's pardons and executive orders , given the cognitive health questions. He blames all Dems as knowing and abetting the hiding of Biden's health status from the American people. I guess he and others fail to bring up #47's shady habits.
The Trump administration is planning to repeal the ban on asbestos, a toxic material that causes cancer. The Administrator of the EPA, New York's own Lee Zelden heads the EPA. MAGA = Make Asbestos Great Again. Every day is a new worry for our country.
I know several people who have died from cancer related to asbestos, including Navy veterans from WWII and later. One wonders if the federal government will soon start to encourage people to smoke cigarettes. It’s a Bizarro country now.
One thing sure about Trump and his corrupt cronies and family.
They know how to grift the United States and con their MAGA maniacs to enrich themselves.
From pardons, to golden smartphones, crypto coins, NFTs, sneakers, $5 million immigration cards, and so on and on.
This Trump Administration, his cabinet, his advisors, this Republican controlled Congress, the far-right media, all will go down in history as the most corrupt, corrosive and cruel ones.
You neglect to mention that Trump not only pardons but he pays. For example, his DOJ will settle a wrongful death case by the family of Ashli Babbit for $5 Million, even though she was legally killed during her January 6th attack against America's Capitol. Next the DOJ will be settling the $100 Million dollar wrongful prosecution case brought by Babbit's January 6th co-conspirators, the Proud Boys, even though they should have been prosecuted as accessories to her killing, which is usually how the criminal law works in such cases.
True, and add the $45 million dollar parade, security details for his golf club weekends, the $400 million dollar gold palace in the sky that the taxpayers will have to pay for security upgrades which will eventually go to Trump's presidential library, if ever there is one. The list goes on and on.
I also wonder, knowing how hard and expensive lawsuits are, if it would be possible or even feasible for all of the parties who have been financially damaged (and in some cases, physically) to come together (?) and SUE these pardoned criminals for the financial amounts that COURTS said they were due? NOT to attempt to go after trump, but the parties who actually owed the money!
I do not think it is hmy trmpedo's biggest scandal*
I think it is pos_tfnKKK's and the republican congress' biggest scandal
Much as if someone robbed a bank, in front of several police officers and they just looked the other way... the scandal would not be the robbery, but the police being complicit in the crime.
In not doing their job.
pos_tfnkkk and the gQped congress are not doing their job. I can only hope one day they are held accountable.. and that El Salvador saves a place for them in a prison
The Biggest Political Scandal of Trump’s Term Has Gone Completely Ignored
the "facts" are so overwhelming in terms of Trump's corruption, greed, self interest...his despicable behavior in all ways...thug, mafia., criminal.....Their "script" is to blame Biden and Democrats for everything--their competing in wanting to impeach those who have done good work, work for justice, have empathy...Biden leaving Trump a healthy economy, creating good alliances, apologizing to native peoples, creating Juneteenth and national monuments, recognizing the dignity of all peoples...all his good work in our world is made to seem evil, impeachable. Jake Tapper and those who are talking about Biden's lack of mental acuity and "the original sin" are shameful; they have turned the world (and the word "sin") upside down.
The second amendment seems to be the only amendment which Stefanik and Republicans think of as sacred and untouchable. I think of New Zealand where the very young leader of the country passed strong gun restrictions immediately after the killing of so many. I think of our Republicans voting against banning assault weapons, limiting how many rounds of shooting with one press of the finger, voting against "silencing" of guns, allowing concealed carry, throwing out 3 legislators in Tennessee for bringing up gun control.....Guns and defense weapons seem untouchable.

Or rambling diatribes that makes one wonder about his cognitive acuity. He is 79.
What was the fourth category of pardon?

Indeed it takes one to know one! I’d like to hear the tRumpy, MAGA response to these irrefutable facts!

Such a sad place we are all in today.

If the ayatollahs promised a Trump Tower Tehran they’d be handed nukes on a silver platter.
But TRUMP does not pay - guess who does??

Pardon me Post Star but please share Trump’s pardons with the public
Pardon me The Chronicle but please share Trump’s pardons with the public

Great article Ken. Wish some of the MAGA would read it, but alas, most of them do not read at all.
I think it is moot, because as you said most magAholes don't read.
those that do, would not read this
AND... I wonder if they have any comprehension skills
All the things they feared.. tyranny, high prices, needless wars, etc. is exactly what the hmpy trmPED0 administration is doing
the "facts" are so overwhelming in terms of Trump's corruption, greed, self interest...his despicable behavior in all ways...thug, mafia., criminal.....Their "script" is to blame Biden and Democrats for everything--their competing in wanting to impeach those who have done good work, work for justice, have empathy...Biden leaving Trump a healthy economy, creating good alliances, apologizing to native peoples, creating Juneteenth and national monuments, recognizing the dignity of all peoples...all his good work in our world is made to seem evil, impeachable.
