A combination of obsessive hatred, politics as life, and a desperate need to be accepted in their peer group led many faceless bureaucrats and lower-tier politicians to compromise personal and professional integrity in a desperate attempt to destroy Trump.
I have no sympathy for them. This is how I see them.
I remember visiting the Pearl Harbor Memorial when I was in my early twenties. I remember waiting for the boat to take people over to the memorial and reading the plaques in the waiting area that were sent from all over the country. It brought tears to my eyes. This is a powerful and emotional place to visit.
Punishingly stupid.

Upcoming interview. You know that Trump filmed this in real time using his people in case NBC tries to deceptively edit it. Trump should release the full video “preemptively” to help NBC find their inner journalism.
Garbage media can’t stop the iconic and they hate him because of it:
“…No voting irregularities found, yet results are wiped out…”
Sure, and I believe that too.
“…certain aspects of the presidential pardoning power are so well-established that it is unlikely that any Court, conservative or liberal, will revisit them. For starters the power is extremely broad; it is vested by the Constitution in the president, and there is little that Congress can do to constrain it short of impeaching the president if they believe its exercise improper.
Although the Constitution speaks of “reprieves” and “pardons,” these words encompass more than what they might seem to entail. “Pardons,” for example, encompass amnesties and can be accorded people whose identities the president does not know and may be unable to determine. The first such pardon was issued in 1795 by George Washington to people who participated in the Pennsylvania Whiskey Rebellion, with Jimmy Carter’s pardon of Vietnam-era draft evaders being a more recent example. Pardons may also be conditioned on a person accepting certain restrictions on future behavior, including submitting to punishments not otherwise provided by law. Pardons need not follow convictions but can be issued before or during a criminal prosecution. The rationale for so-called “pre-emptive” pardons is that there is no point in requiring a person to live in fear of conviction or to go through a trial if the offense of which he is or might be accused would ultimately be pardoned. Pre-emptive pardons do, not, however apply to offenses not yet committed. The president can tell a thief not to worry about being convicted for the crime he has committed yesterday because he has pardoned him. But a pardon today cannot forgive a crime the thief commits tomorrow…”
“…Testimony and video from the day showed Babbitt being pushed through a door window into the House Speaker’s Lobby behind the House floor when, without warning, she was shot by Byrd. The shooting was investigated, but no charges were leveled, and Byrd was promoted. In addition to the promotion from lieutenant, Just the News reported this week that House Democratic leaders pressured the Capitol Police to give Byrd a $37,000 retention bonus, help with $160,000 in private fundraising, and housing. Meanwhile, the 115-pound Babbitt, who was 36 when shot, has been savaged in the liberal media…”
Biden better get started on preemptive pardons. It looks like that is going to be a big job.
