Yeah, that one about the orange mob boss being fully recognized as a criminal. And those Congresspeople asking for pardons. Yeah those headlines.
Timing is everything. Seems like getting everyone stirred up, especially the gqp base, about a “win” for the “very good people’s” cause is a “win” for him on both counts.
My cynical self says this was calculated. It ends the weekend focus on his criminality. Also with the hearings necessary break the “big mo” takes a hit.
Instead of wobbly supporters doubting him-and themselves-they can cheer him for big notch in the maga effort.
Just something that, for me, added to that sickening feeling over today’s terrible news.

It’s been a number of hours since I wrote this and the fact of the media focus being turned away-rightly (understatement) and inevitably- from the huge developments in the J6 hearings just added to today’s predicted, but devastating news. It may indeed be far fetched to think it would be something some members of the court might do. I did say it was my cynical self that suggested it. The disregard and hatefulness for the citizens of this country by some on this court is stunning. Again, understatement. The desire for power and control is also stunning. The questions about the leak remain unanswered-who and why. The gop’s lust for power pretty much stops at nothing. So maybe thinking it was a calculation to release the decision today was far fetched as has been suggested . The hearings have exposed a whole lot of far fetched ideas and actions to say the least.
In the end what matters most is fighting back.
