I feel like if the shoe was on the other foot (Don Jr in trouble) Trump is bitch and moan that it was politically motivated and a witch hunt and then pardon him.
Just like that moron did with other criminals that should not have been pardoned. BTW now that that piece of shit is a convicted felon, we should start to undo anything he ever touched while in office. All those pardons he did, send them the fuck back to prison. Just like how crooked cops have their previous cases under scrutiny.
Yeah! Time for Afghanistan 2! /j But for real, we can't just broad brush this thing. While most of it was shit, probably several things were decent things that got through in spite of the administration's ineptitude.
You realize the office of the US President is involved in important things in the world, and isn’t just a vehicle for revenge against a former President?
Trump is the one who needs to learn that lesson
I see nothing in their comment to suggest that they don't realize this.
Such as maintaining the safety and full functioning of the United States of America? Yes, you're completely correct. That's exactly why this needs to happen.
Feels like he'd only act if was Ivanka or something that would also cause trouble for him. Trump isn't afraid of dumping anyone
Like a real crime boss, Trump never, ever dumps on family. No one else is safe, but the wife and kids are sacrosanct.
Now that I think on it, the man does indeed seem to have a single moral. How odd I'm just now seeing it.
Lol he fucking wishes he was in any way like a "real" crime boss.
He's never been put in a life or death situation like this, but I have zero doubt that if it came down to his life or the life of one of his kids, he would let his kid die without a second thought.
Even if it came down to something like life in prison, he would throw his wife and kids under a bus to save himself in a heartbeat to save himself from prison.
Of course that comes with the double standard that he is free to attack other politicians families, but his own is off limits.
One of the few cronies he didn't pardon was Cohen, and look how that worked out for him, lol.
