It’s time for a constitutional amendment to reform the pardon power. Trump has turned it into a pay to play debacle and a shield for his corruption. No more.

This is so true. It's all a glorified football game for their side
Trumpers struggle with the concept of criminal accountability because they only think about teams and not criminal conduct.

This White House does not "demolish" fraud, it commits it, and pardons it.
Americans need to trust the institutions that their tax dollars are funding. That trust is broken when fraud is allowed to run rampant. The Trump Administration is demolishing fraud at every turn.

Imagine if a Democrat went 0-27 in court trying to build a national list of voters and still wouldn’t stop. Imagine what Republicans would say.

Right about now I would expect the @FoxNews lunatics (redundant, I know) to be rooting for the Dems. If 2 years after the election they can still blame Biden for every social ill, imagine how much fun they'll have once the Dems have one or both chambers of Congress!

The Epstein files coverup continues. @DDFund_ has exposed secret manipulation of the investigation by the White House. Just two weeks ago @RepRaskin referred a possible Epstein accomplice for investigation by the @FBI.
Revelations about WH's involvement in Epstein memo in files pried loose by @DDFund_ Trump was briefed his name was in the files—later his deputy chief of staff was editing the memo that declared the matter closed Patel sent the draft: "Here you go" -TN rawstory.com/raw-investigate…

Pure evil
Markwayne Mullin says ICE agents can serve warrants at your polling place. Congress banned armed federal agents at the polls in 1865. A county in Virginia just told him so in federal court. #VoteEarlyDay dworkinsubstack.com/p/i-foll…

I am always against monkeying around with the Constitution, but if Trump does this and links it to policy areas, then it really is time to change or eliminate the pardon power, which was never supposed to be used as a blanket shield for preventing accountability

Killing the enhanced subsidies was the first ACA nuclear bomb. This is the second one. Half of ACA enrollees typically auto-renew. (You really shouldn’t do that for other reasons but banning it is will be devastating)

Whether president of a college or president of the United States, a man who doesn't care about rape should not be in office.
Q: Amy Acton's stepfather was indicted for rape. Now that you know all that, sir, do you change your mind about the ad? Trump: No. I don't care

1. The Justice Department has no standing to sue election authorities in Alaska. 2. The Constitution empowers states to administer congressional elections. 3. Alaska's courts have already addressed and solved the issue. 4. And what about the voters who mistakenly thought they were voting for challenger Sullivan instead of Senator Sullivan? 5. As ever, it's a Trumpian press-release lawsuit designed to intimidate and inflame.

Americans’ costs are through the roof as Trump admin sells of US resource and corruption like Kushner $700 million slush fund runs rampant. Meanwhile, admin considers blanket pardons of junior staff.

Read the comments—person after person expressing regret for voting for Trump. I implore all those who made this mistake to listen carefully now to those of us who since 2015 have warned about Trump. We really do know what we’re talking about and have maintained our values.
We’ve elected a madman. I am partly to blame for voting for him. I’m sorry.
