    1. This is how you know that they know they’ve won the final victory, no attempt to hide any of their shit anymore. they are untouchable

      lmao at anyone who doesnt think the guy who has replaced all of the federal law enforcement and military leadership with people who have sworn a personal loyalty oath to him can just decide that he doesn’t want to leave office with an opposition party that has demonstrated over and over they will do nothing about anything apart from fund raise off of orange man bad

    2. # Think of the *precedent* this sets!

      From now on, a popular (and remember, Trump “won” this Musk-rigged election with only 49% of the vote!) president can come into office, install boot-licking sycophants into the DOJ, then the president can *sue* the US gov’t for *whatever BS he wants to* and then “cut a deal” with the DOJ to drop the lawsuit in return for a multi-billion dollar slush fund, all funded by the American people.

      **That’s what Trump just executed, and Republicans and other spineless congresspeople are going along with it!**

      The Democrats weaponized our justice system, using it as a tool against political opponents. Those unfairly targeted should be compensated. The blame for this lies with the Democrats.

    6. You would think the universe would send that one rouge meotor and end all this craziness of the deer leader.
