    Trash allies raking in tens of thousands of dollars from wealthy felons seeking pardons

    close associates of Donald Trump have been raking in tens of thousands of dollars from wealthy felons seeking a presidential pardon before the president steps down next week.

    In his waning weeks in office, the president has been pardoning close associates who were either facing criminal charges tied to his 2016 election or were already serving time.

    “This kind of off-books influence peddling, special-privilege system denies consideration to the hundreds of ordinary people who have obediently lined up as required by Justice Department rules, and

    is a basic violation of the longstanding effort to make this process at least look fair,”


    https://www.alternet.org/2021/01/trump-allies-2649969171/

    No doubt, $100Ks are also "darkly" sneaking to Trash's bank account, probably off shore. Trash selling pardons of Federal criminals? shocking!

    Unconfirmed report about how depressed Eric was.



    Unconfirmed sources report that

    Eric Trump was so depressed about the family failure that

    he locked himself inside a closed garage for over an hour with his Tesla running.

    Yes, they did vote him out. Yes, there were recounts (handmade and otherwise) requested that verified the result.

    There's precedent to it. He can argue the precedent was wrong at the time, but certainly it isn't the first time this happens.

    If Repugs object, will the Dems bother to appeal to SCOTUS?

    That's not how this works. This is a political process, not a judicial one. The SCOTUS has no bearing in impeachment proceedings.

    Senate will likely put it to a vote and then decide to proceed or not based on that.

    Lady G calls for Senate to reject impeachment trial for “national healing”

    Graham is questioning the legitimacy of a trial after Trump leaves office. But Dems and some scholars disagree.

    calling the effort an “uncons utional” act of “vengeance” not an act of justice

    which will hinder the process of “national healing.” Repugs have been dividing America for 40 years, blocking Dem SCOTUS seat, 400+ Dem bills

    Karl Rove:

    Trump will be convicted

    if Giuliani defends him at impeachment


    if Trump allows former New York City Mayor Rudy Guiliani to lead his defense team at his Senate impeachment trial —

    reportedly one of the few options left open to the rejected president who has become
    a pariah to most major legitimate law firms

    then he is much more likely to be found guilty in his second time around.

    He called McConnell’s reluctance to defend the humiliated president “a sign that every Republican senator needs to take this seriously.”

    Giuliani’s public statements to date regarding his strategy for defending Trump,

    which primarily consists of repeating the “big lie” that the president’s evidence-free claims of election fraud are true and

    so he could, therefore, not have incited the crowd already primed by intense anger over the supposedly stolen election.

    Rex Tillerson is speaking out, and ooh boy, the stories he’s telling about Donald Trump

    an interview with Tillerson for
    Foreign Policy slipped by with little fanfare.

    he also articulates some of his “frustrations” with Trump.

    Those frustrations include

    Donald Trump being an ignoramus,

    acting like an ignoramus,

    listening to other ignoramuses, and

    being an inscrutable ignoramus.


    Tillerson explained that one of the fundamental hurdles he had to overcome in communicating his global policy ideas to Trump was the fact that

    Trump’s “understanding of global history, his understanding of U.S. history was really limited.

    It’s really hard to have a conversation with someone who

    doesn’t even understand the concept for why we’re talking about this.”


    This might be the nicest thing Tillerson said about the president during the interview.

    Tillerson went on to illustrate how he began his tenure trying to bring “four or five things I needed to talk to him about,”

    and very quickly comprehended that a victory was getting to talk to Trump about two or three things.

    This gave way to

    Tillerson realizing he needed to bring visual aids like charts or images.

    “If I could put a photo or a picture in front of him or a map or a piece of paper that had two big bullet points on it,

    he would focus on that, and I could build on that.”

    Tillerson said he faced was that the many handlers (and possibly Fox News) would get to the president before Tillerson met with him,

    filling him with fact-free opinions and information.

    Having a conversation with someone who believes things that aren’t real makes for a difficult discussion.
