Shutdown is over! Another win for the Trump administration.

Basically confirms Trump's 3rd term.

Does this mean they have to swear in that Democrat that they were trying to avoid?

Sounds like it was only 3 or 4 moderate Dems who were the swing votes, while the rest of the party were completely against the deal. What a bunch of spineless turds.

"have to..."?

The way things were supposed to "have to be done" went out the window a long time ago.

I believe she worked for the DOJ during Trump’s first term but was let go by the Trump admin. She’s been around for awhile.

Trump pardons Rudy Giuliani and others involved in bid to overturn 2020 election, pardon attorney says
The list of 77 people also includes other high-profile Trump allies including attorneys Sidney Powell, John Eastman and Kenneth Chesebro, and Trump's chief of staff in 2020, Mark Meadows. The pardon is written in broad language that exonerates "all" citizens accused of election interference.

The pardons are largely symbolic as none of the people listed were convicted of federal crimes, which the presidential pardon covers.

If they didn't do anything wrong, what are they being pardoned for?

Every action is an admission of guilt.

Because Trump explicitly said he was going to maliciously politically persecute his son. It was the right move, and you would have done the same thing. He also didn't try to violently overthrow the govenrment, but I guess those are just minor details for those looking to justify the actions of a demented sex offender of a pumpkin.

The posts you choose to stand against says a lot about the person you are, too, you know.

Trump promised retribution against people like Biden and Adam Schiff, where Adam Schiff was doing his job investigating Trump’s sedition and criminal activity. Pardoning people like Schiff was to protect them from the bs sh1t revenge and retribution tour Trump was promising. Trump is pardoning actual criminals, people who have committed serious crimes, and fake pardoning the group involved in his treasonous activities. You gotta be dumber than a bag of dog sh1t to claim there’s an equivalence here or that Biden started it.

LOL. So while Trump is blowing up supposed drug trafficking ships in South America, he pardoned a drug trafficker named Jonathan Braun in 2021 on his way out of office, and now that same criminal is going to be sentenced today for sexual assault.

That’s Allison Gill, former government employee and Trump-hating podcaster. She’s as legit as it gets. Give her podcast a go; she’s excellent.

Do you not understand the difference? Biden pardoned people Trump would have come after for non-existent crimes. It had to be done. Try to keep up.

Trump doesn’t think his powers have any limits. None.
