    1. I was just saying this exact thing to my wife. We have long understood that the government is full of corruption, but never before has it been so outwardly brazen. “Drain the swamp”, be said…

    2. It really is and from Canada feel terrible for you who just want to get their lives back. It’s like he has taken a huge pick-ax to the US. Unyielding lies and BS

    3. Yeah… true on the corruption but guess what? 73 million voted for him again. That, more than anything else, shows the true America.

    1. Yall bout to get what you voted for so don’t b#$!& when Trump is out Number one, you’ll be locked down, number two, the covid relief bill was not about the American people, number three you’re all pawns’

    2. @Seekthetreasure and Trumps going to veto it. Because he wants more money for the people. He says 600 isn’t enough

    3. @thedon winss I’ve spotted the bot. Check out his comment history by clicking on his icon. These trolls are getting desperate

    4. Obama pardoned 218 and Trump now has 44. On top, as of two days ago Joe was linked to the $20 million Hunter forgot to tell the IRS about. Is it ignorance or hypocrisy that drives the left?

  1. If a president pardons a person, it’s an admission they did a crime. That’s including Ivanka, his sons and Kushner.

    1. So what? Do you think that it matters to any of them? They got to lie, cheat, and steal with no consequences. They and their supporters will just spin it like they were falsely accused and had no choice but to accept a pardon.

  2. A corrupt president* trying to “legitimize” corrupt behaviour.

    It’s been a rotten Administration. Rotten at the core.

    1. @OSOZ CNN said the Hunter Bidens laptop is Russian Disinformation. They lied and and continue to lie. CCP Media

  3. Why is the GOP allowing him to reward Russia? This is dangerous to our democracy, yet they are complacent. This is so infuriating !

  4. So when Trump is *FOUND GUILTY* of *ALL* the *CRIMES HE* COMMITTED… will these “Pardons” be reversed???? A *criminal* pardoning *another* criminal.
    God *BLESS* the U.S.A.

    1. @Splaticus So the above comment mentioned it could be challenged in court.. however, your comment mention that a pardon cannot be removed once granted. So who is right?

  5. And King’s Landing’s denizens cried out in unison, “Shame, Shame, Shame!” When will he be brought to account for his red soaked ledger?

    1. I’m recalling the crone screaming “Booooo! Boooo!!” as Princess Buttercup has a nightmare about marrying Prince Humperdink.

    1. @Fogmoz No there is not. The House Democrats opened and dropped multiple inquiries and that was it. Mueller, the IRS, and FBI taskforce found no connections to Russia or financial crimes. What are you even talking about?

    2. @Fogmoz And a prosecutor specifically does not have the power to exonerate. That’s a canned media statement because it cannot be done, so by backwards math always true. It’s like the media line “the coroner ruled it a homicide”. All unnatural death is a homicide.

    3. @Broadway Sam A pardon that is bought (ie: as part of a crime) is not a valid pardon. That’s an easy argument to make.

    1. Obama holds the record for the largest single-day use of the clemency power, granting 330 commutations on January 19, 2017, his last full day in office. He also issued more commutations than the past 13 presidents combined.

    2. @8long 59 so are you dating that the number of pardons discounts the reasons why the pardons are given?

      quit with the double standards giving no a pass

    1. Who is the guy who disappears when Russians attack us equal to Pearl Harbor. COVID kills 300,000 of us. Government fails to pass funding again. Oh yea that’s Pandemic Trump, Pathetic.

    1. @Dillon McCluskey the proof they are criminals is the fact that they were tried and convicted of crimes. Many of these people were wealthy with top notch lawyers and still found guilty.

    2. @Dillon McCluskey Wow. Reporting you for hate speech and threats. Your loser in chief cant pardon anyone when he isnt president anymore cupcake.

    1. i understand why u want Hunter to be investigated, but i don’t understand is why the Trumps are complaining about it

    2. Obama pardoned 218 and Trump now 44. Is it ignorance, hypocrisy, or the self indoctrinated obedience to media that drives the left? I say all 3.

    1. @TickledPink he’s not the one who wants to send billions of dollars overseas . The Traitors are . Wake up shill POS

    2. Stupid Girl! Trump just stop sending money to Pakistan Egypt who use the money buy Russia Weapons. and stop sending money to the illegal people….. you live in USA but know nothing!

    3. he’s pathetic now and always has been pathetic…. America you do know the world believes you allow Russia to dictate what trump and his cronies do and stick something up their arses since they are putin’s puppets…. Good luck at sorting out the bs crap you dug yourselves into, by just having him as a president…. once a corrupt businessman always one!

  6. The so-called law and order presiding over the most corrupt and criminal administration of all times. By lack of a better word, I am flummoxed.
