The American government is an honor system. MAGA has no honor.

Trump is a joke.

A really bad joke.

He makes you look like fools, MAGA.

It was speculated on this forum at the time of Santos' sentencing that Trump would intervene in his favor.

Santos is, after all, a compulsive liar and career conman,

Trump identifies with the man.

Of course, he did.

He's a criminal running a criminal administration where laws don't matter if you're a sycophantic turd.

REMINDER: George Santos pled guilty to wire fraud, aggravated identity theft, fraud tied to COVID unemployment benefits, misusing campaign funds, and lying about his finances on House disclosure forms.

He admitted to ALL OF IT.

He is GUILTY!

Moves the convicted Epstein child pimp from Fed Prison to a Tennis Club and Pardons the guy who was convicted of fraud, lying to Congress, theft of public funds, aggravated identity theft... wait, that sounds more like Trump's records, only nowhere near as bad.

Party of Law and Order continues to sink and embarrass itself.

But the real problem is a large faction of the country likes it.

Trump Is Causing Deceit to Prosper

Trump commuted the sentence of George Santos earlier tonight, and it immediate reminded me of Daniel 8:25, and the reference to how the Antichrist will cause deceit to prosper.

Some of George Santos' crimes may have analogous parallels in NYS, Virginia, or Wash DC. Some county DAs may be looking at the statute of limitations on those felonies.

What did the MAGAts and trolls on drudge.com say about this effrontery?

Biden pardoned more people than any other president and even set us on the slippery slope of issuing preemptive pardon.

He admitted to ALL OF IT.

He is GUILTY!

Yes, and he's still guilty. His sentence was commuted.

What an honor to corrupt Rethuglicans everywhere. The GOP will spawn hundreds more just like Santos & Trump!

But won't face hardly any punishment for it.

Aren't you proud, Nazi Pedo?

Of course he's proud.

Like all MAGAts, he's party over country.

And the only thing the Trump party stands for is pwning liberals.

Republicans are cheering on Trump destroying America because they've been losing for so long they'd rather burn America down.

Trump doesn't even know what Santos was convicted of. He tried to compare him to Richard Blumenthal as if the Santos told were in anyway at least somewhat based in reality. Trump ignored that Santos was guilty of mail fraud and identity theft.
Should be no surprise though considering Trump is a convicted felon who is divorced from reality.

"And he chatted with Rachel Campos-Duffy of Fox & Friends Weekend' about the benefits of being out of prison, including that he is free to get Botox injections."
