It must be noted however that he said Waddle and Gobble looked violent to him, but their bribe was acceptable.
The pardoning ceremony was public unlike the other 142 pardons that Trump has granted since January.
Unlike past presidential pardons that had to be vetted before bringing them up to the president, Trump has skipped the formalities and has been pardoning criminals at a rapid rate.
The White House has been turned into a pardon bureau that personally profits Trump who accepts only the bigly bribes or Quid-pro-quo offerings in exchange for a pardon.
Here's just one example of a corrupt player buying his way to freedom or clemency; in mid-October Trump handed a full and unconditional pardon to Changpeng Zhao, the former CEO of Binance, who pleaded guilty to money laundering charges.
Here's the kicker; Binance has ties to the Trump family's cryptocurrency business. We also know that Trump is concealing his scheme when he lied to 60 Minutes in an interview that he didn't know who Zhao was. That's a sure sign he's hiding something.
It was apparent on Day One of Trump's second term that politics were going to be crucial in the pardoning process when Trump pardoned some 1,500 defendants for taking part in his attempted coup.
But Trump is also one of the biggest con men in American history and conducting shady and illegal business transactions are in his DNA.
The founders envisioned impeachment as one check on what is otherwise a nearly absolute presidential power, but Trump has faced virtually no criticism from the GOP cowards in Congress for his questionable use of pardons for profit or political gain.
As it Stands, I won't be posting anything on Thanksgiving Day because I'll be too busy visiting with family. I wish you a great day and a future without Trump.
