On Kushner:
Yeah that’s really awful but it’s not germane to any point of someone pardoning their son in laws dad. I think people would get that.

I think we talked about the Kushner story. It supposedly tanked Christie’s chances in the new administration.

For which Christie is likely grateful now.

More about Chris Collins:
According to the federal government, on June 22, 2017, the CEO of Innate Immunotherapeutics sent an email to the company's board of directors, including Collins. The e-mail explained that an important drug trial for the company had failed. Collins allegedly received this news while attending a picnic at the White House and, upon seeing the email, immediately phoned his son and instructed him to sell shares in the company. According to the allegations, the sale allowed Collins and his family to avoid around $570,000 in losses. The shares eventually dropped around 90% once news about the drug trial became public.[69]

Imagine being a sitting US representative and risking prison and career destruction for 600k.

My guess is some of these guys aren’t done. Prolly some pissed off law enforcement agents and prosecutors out there tonight. I suspect some of these men will be hunted. OJ redux.

The phrase 'what a bunch of cunts' has leapt, unbidden, into my mind.
And for some reason it refuses to leave.

Dang, the Trump supporters must be so embarrassed now.
(Yeah, like Trump has never embarrassed them before.) -

Pretty much anyone who's still a Trump supporter has developed the psychological defense mechanisms necessary to not be embarrassed by him.

All it takes to be a Trump supporter is hatred for Ms. Clinton
It's no different than being a Biden supporter
It is impossible for anyone to think Mr. Biden could be a good president
But hating Mr. Trump is easy for so many
You eat what is put in front of you.

Mr. Trump is the worst president ever because he doesn't like this give-away
This is certainly one of the most brilliant observations ever
Thank you so much for posting it here

I’m still glad he won in 2016 and I continue to believe TDS showed and shows a lot of elitist asses. It’s unfortunate he is spinning these fraud claims. It’s foolish.

The $500M for Israel is missing from that graphics.
Wonder what other countries are missing too. -

I could not tell if they were truly frightened or trying to control their people by creating so much fear. Neither is flattering and both are the real threat to democracy. But I agree with you and I think the pardon stuff is pretty pathetic and rewards corruption too.

Certainly there is an element of spiking the ball to exaggerating the threat Trump’s post-loss behavior represents. It’s a zero cost catharsis and I Told You So for those with TDS.
