Conservation or Big Beautiful Ballrooms?

[Irrelevant]

I dont always agree with any of them on what they stand against - but i cant stomach someone that doesnt have the conviction to take a position for their constituents simply because their "leader" said no.

I recently wrote my 3 federal level reps/sen and made this point. You are three different humans, you shouldn't have to same voting records

The beauty of a President handing out pardons and other "get out of jail" cards is this only covers Federal matters. If a state, say New York, brings state charges against someone, even someone proudly holding up a purty piece of paper with DJT scribbled EKG-style on it, then that court case can still lead to a stay in the grey bar hotel.

Alas, the fortunes piled up by the freight train load will likely never be torn loose. Generational wealth will remain safely stowed away for a few 1000 insiders through stock market manipulation, prop betting, and sweet no-bid contracts.

Another factor, the justice system is glacially slow. So, likely some of the insiders simply pass from old age before a conviction is won and defended on appeal after appeal after appeal. Generational wealth can cover the fees of several law firms.

Fortunately, names can be removed from buildings, airports, currency, passports, statues, etc, rather quickly. Much faster than the Epstein Files can be released and suspects actually investigated much less put away in jail, hopefully in the general population quadrant.

We are getting what we deserve after so many voted against their own interests so could wear red hats (only 29.99 if order today) and be part of an exciting movement which has since steam-rolled some of those eager participants called to duty earlier by the siren song of "not your fault, you are being persecuted, there is now someone who really cares about you, is going to be great again, a chicken in every pot and a lifted Ford F150 with a giant desecrated flag in every driveway" that turned out to instead be a parade of new tariffs we all pay rather than China, new armed conflicts that go "on pause" while things still go boom, not America First as allow China to buy American farm land again, high gas and fertilizer costs, inflation heating up so home loans are even more expensive, etc. But, dang, that red hat is quite dapper!!

If you told me 50 years ago that a cheating husband with mistresses and kids by multiple women who is not a church-goer and talks about grabbing private parts of females without permission and dodged military service with bone spur malarkey yet called a former POW a loser for being captured....would get overwhelming support of Evangelicals and veterans then I would have laughed at you. No way. Not in a million years. You can only fool a fool and, never mind. I saw it with my own eyes.

Am excited to see how far things so off the rails during the rest of my days here on Earth. I fear these are the good old days compared to what is around the corner. Time to stock up on popcorn. There is not a tariff on popcorn, right? I with sit by my keyboard anxiously awaiting all the great manufacturing jobs returning to America as we all know a man's word is as good as gold, er, a gold ballroom. Hey Buddy, can you spare a billion?

Example on your first point. If it survives the challenge, Trump cant pardon...and I suspect many states will look for opportunities to charge under state laws...and enact new ones no one ever suspected would be needed.

I can't tell if this is satire or not.

I heard an incredulous federal legislator say he thought it was a story in the Onion.
