Notably absent from these pardons: Duncan Hunter's (now ex-) wife, who pled guilty to the same stuff he did

On edit: StarfishSaver points out in post #1 the he did pardon her tonight.

1. He pardoned her tonight.

2. Missed that. Thanks for the heads up.

3. I suspect he wanted some attention from that.

She was on the list and he delayed her hoping for some drama.

He knows how to play an audience. I'll give him that one thing. It's as if he studied at the knee of P.T. Barnum.

4. That is the single thing that tRump's father

admired in his son. His niece said this and I have read it a few times over the years.

6. Interesting, I didn't know that.

I never paid much attention to him until he won the Republican nomination in 2016 I feel like I've been playing catch-up since then, sadly.

He is good at fabricating drama to his benefit. Terrifyingly so. To the extent I trained my own self not to be baited and raise to his seeding.

So many are going to walk out of this administration with scars. Reopened ones and new ones from all the mental abuse.

9. I will never forget the first time I heard him outright lie

I used to watch The Apprentice when it first started. After awhile it started getting low in the ratings. Everyone knew the ratings were tanking. Yet I would see him on tv talking about how they have the highest ratings ever. He would repeat the same lie on every tv show. The first time I realized he was racist was during Randall Pinketts season. You could tell he really did not want Randall (an African American) to win. He announced him as the winner and then immediately pressure him ( on live tv) to share the title of Apprentice with Rebecca Jarvis. Randall said NO. There is one winner. Trump was clearly agitated. He could have hired Rebecca on the side (after the show) but no he want Randall to share the title of Apprentice. Anyway, I never watched the show again after that.

7. Kinda off topic, but were the Blackwater mercenaries on the list

Or was that just pulled out of his ass?

8. My guess?

They were on his doomsday list. Which is what we're seeing deployed now.

This is his burn down the house scenario. Lucky us.

Good to see you!

5. Duncan Hunter is a total POS.

And they're full on lying that the FEC could've fixed his problems, because his fucking lying ass was broke after all the expenditures.
