TRUMP JUST TOLD TIME MAGAZINE HE'S PRE-PARDONING HIS OWN STAFF FOR CRIMES THEY HAVEN'T COMMITTED YET
Read that again. Not pardons for crimes already charged. Not pardons for crimes already discovered. Pardons for whatever his people might get caught doing between now and the day he leaves office
Donald Trump said it himself in the interview. He's "considering" blanket immunity for administration officials before any indictment, before any investigation, before any victim even knows they were harmed
This is a get out of jail free card printed in advance and handed out to the entire building
Think about what that actually means for a second
Every official around Trump right now can break the law today knowing the boss already promised to make it disappear tomorrow
No deterrent. No fear. No accountability. Just a blank check signed by the most powerful man in the country for anyone loyal enough to carry out his orders
This isn't protecting innocent people from unfair prosecution. This is Donald Trump building a legal shield around his own administration before the bodies are even found
Ask yourself who benefits. Not you. Not the people getting rounded up by his agents. Not the families losing funding, losing jobs, losing loved ones to his policies
The only people who win are the ones standing closest to Trump when the hammer finally comes down. And he just told them, on the record, in print, that the hammer will never land
This is not normal. This is not legal theory. This is a president publicly rehearsing the cover up before the crime
And he's saying the quiet part in Time magazine like it's a real estate deal
They are not going to stop. They are just going to make sure nothing ever sticks

You probably don't know who this fucker is. But he is the most powerful man in the US.
He's the key architect behind Trump's Project 2025 fascist manifesto.
His name is Russ Vought. And he is a cunt.
The people who are never directly affected by government policies because they are ok financially with a husband who makes good money and good benefits, always think its not that bad for others.
Leaked audio of Minnesota Republican candidate Michele Tafoya's advice to Americans concerned with skyrocketing prices:
"Maybe you take one less trip to Starbucks... Let’s just try to be patriots about this."
Be prepared for J6 Part 2, because it is probably going to be a lot worse than Part 1:
“Earlier this year, The New York Times asked Donald Trump whether he regretted not ordering the National Guard to seize voting machines in swing states after the 2020 election. His answer was chilling: "Well, I should have."
Trump is telling us what he plans to do in this year's midterms. He is trying to rig the elections and subvert their results. While we have been able to stop him so far, there is no guarantee that we will continue to prevail in the weeks ahead.
Yet despite the obvious signs of Trump's plan, too many reporters and pundits downplay it. They adhere to the false neutrality that has come to dominate legacy media coverage over the last decade.
No phrase captures this attitude more clearly than the admonition to take Trump seriously but not literally. The suggestion is that only out-of-touch elites pay attention to his actual words. Real voters — and those in the media who claim to speak for them — know to focus on his vibes.
When it comes to voting and elections, this advice has been catastrophically wrong. In 2020, Trump's words before the election were prophetic about what he would do afterward. His refusal to concede foreshadowed the attack on Jan. 6, 2021.
Trump is once again in power, and he is again telling us his plan. He has weaponized the entire federal government — including the Department of Justice and the U.S. Postal Service — to make voting more difficult.
He is threatening to deploy federal agents at the polls and to disrupt voting. And he is reaching for every other tool of election rigging: partisan gerrymandering, restrictions on voter registration, attacks on mail-in voting and the use of bogus lists to purge eligible citizens from the rolls.
But most dangerous is what he has been saying for more than a year about the counting, tabulation and certification of election results. Despite what the U.S. Constitution says, he has repeatedly claimed the power to direct this process.
This is not a new idea. It has been his plan all along.”
