This story's weird on many counts.

Cuellar is an amoral grifter. Why would he be expected to have a moral epiphany now that he's free and clear?

And now that he's shown his true colors, what's to be gained by excoriating him?

Truth telling is it’s own reward. There is no justice w/p sunshine.

So Trump thought he was buying a GOP congressman with his pardon?

Trump would say, that’s for you to figure out

Apparently Trump did not “get” his favorite parable about “The Snake.”

Trump still doesn’t understand that liberalism is a disease with no cure.

Loyalty to who? I’ve already accepted that we, the general public will never know the real reasons behind several of President Trump’s pardons. So much of greater urgency is going in the right direction, i.e. border control, I tend not to dwell on petit mystere for very long.

This is a sadly amusing episode in the political life of the nation. It seems President Trump was well and truly "played" in this.

He forgot the lesson of "The Snake" which was often used in campaigning. Cuellar, the snake, did what snakes do.

Revisiting the last part of the poem:

But instead of saying thanks, that snake gave her a vicious bite.

“Take me in, oh tender woman,

“Take me in, for heaven’s sake,

“Take me in oh tender woman,” sighed the snake.

“I saved you,” cried that woman.

“And you've bit me even, why?

“You know your bite is poisonous and now I’m going to die.”

Oh shut up, silly woman,” said the reptile with a grin,

You knew damn well I was a snake before you took me in,

”Take me in, oh tender woman,

“Take me in, for heaven’s sake,

“Take me in oh tender woman,“ sighed the snake."

Some of President Trump's advisors have NOT been advising him well. Democrats ( and the DSA ) should not be trusted -- ever.

Trump is constantly testing people and situations(as should we). This is a lesson for us.

There are many unintended consequences to this. Cuellar is tied to trump now in his election. Trump has tagged him as untrust worthy.

Dear Donald.

Stop pardoning Democrats.

Thank you for your attention to this matter

Cults are hard to defy.

Like every other Congresscritter, Cuellar needs plum committee assignments producing inside information he can then trade on, to make money to pay his legal bills, and then, get rich.

For Cuellar, it was a cold calculation as to which party affiliation would allow him to conduct this grift most quietly and effectively. Nothing personal directed at PDJT.

Give Cuellar a little more time and he will,eventually, move to our side.

“Can you imagine???” Trump wrote. “The Democrats, under the Crooked Joe Biden Administration, who always use extreme force and jail-time to destroy their political opponent, wanted to put Congressman Henry Cuellar, and his wife, Imelda, in PRISON, for 15 years, which I predicted these Radical Left Lunatics would do – And they never stopped wanting to fulfill this evil quest! The Dems mercilessly went after Henry with everything they had! They were looking to destroy him, his lovely wife, his two young daughters, and anyone close to them. When the Democrats overwhelmingly lost the 2024 Presidential Election, and power with it, they, regardless, did everything they could to keep going after the Cuellar family. The Dems were vicious, and all because Henry strongly wanted, correctly, BORDER SECURITY!”


Folks,

stopped being influenced by headlines and the lying media.

Never pardon a Democrat, no matter how unjustly he has been treated by his fellow snakes

Trump needs to immediately reverse this pardon and prosecute this criminal. Why show weakness now?
