I Never Promised You a Joe Pardon

Nice to see the wife of one of the most heroically heroic figures in American history belatedly waking up to the realisation that her hubby's no Jim Biden but just some schlub off the boat from Odessa who got played for a sucker by Mister Ten Per Cent:

OK, I changed my mind. These pardons were worth it just so I could see Rachel Vindman throw a tantrum over not getting one. pic.twitter.com/HFzUmgaaZh — Noam Blum (@neontaster) January 20, 2025

~On Inauguration Day, on a deserted stretch of I-91 just south of the Vermont/Quebec border, a Border Patrol agent was murdered during what he thought was a routine traffic stop:

In a statement, the FBI said that in addition to the agent, a suspect in the shooting was killed and a second suspect was injured and taken into custody during the encounter on Interstate 91 in Coventry, about 20 miles (32 km) from the Canadian border.

The FBI said there was no ongoing threat to the public.

Oh, I wouldn't say that. Some years ago, I was stopped by a Border Patrol agent on more or less the exact same slab of shoulder. I was en route to my father's funeral, and so queried the officer's jurisdiction. He replied that the Border Patrol had full police powers anywhere within a hundred miles of the US frontier. I probably would eschew the jurisdictional banter today, but back then Vermont's North-East Kingdom (as they call it) was still a low-crime high-trust society.

I guess gold bar Menendez wouldn’t part with his gold bars to purchase a pardon from Biden. He’s sniffing around Trump now for one

What information does he have?

Who can he give up in exchange?

“You better look before you leap, still waters run deep
And there won’t always be someone there to pull you out
And you know what I’m talking about”

This felon done leaped in headfirst and there’s no Mr. Wizard to save him.

Did any of the Lawfare/FBI felons get pardoned other than Mary McCord?

McCord is one greasy piece of excrement.

I was wondering who else didn’t get a pardon. And why.

Have him turn state’s evidence or throw him in jail.

I was quite surprised not to hear that Joe gave this cop killer a pardon. I used to hear about this Mumia all the time, other anarchists and communists praising him empathizing with his every inconvenience.
Maybe he doesn’t want a pardon anymore. Maybe he cannot see himself ever again being comfortable in polite society.

I expect it every time a Democrat is in office. They don’t seem to talk about him any more. Maybe you’re right and he’s become institutionalized.

Interesting. What if Trump,issues a pardon for The Big Guy. Groping children. Sexually assaulting Tara Reade accepting bribes. The LLCs. Etc...

If I remember correctly, someone on CNN said that President Trump was incorrect when he said that the US is the only country in which "birthright citizenship" is the law and that Mexico and Canada have "birthright citizenship."

Is this true?

I thought that Mexico was very strict about not allowing immigrants who are not citizens of Mexico and their children to become citizens of Mexico, in reaction to the occupation of the Mexican province of Texas by Gringos, who then gained its annex to the USA. Is this correct?

Also, I thought Canada's immigration policies were very strict, that, for example, it is very difficult for a US citizen to become a Canadian citizen. Is this correct?

Private (one can only hope) Vindman is yapping away again on Twitter

@AVindman
How do you reconcile “expands territory” with being the greatest peacemaker?

Along the lines of what Henry 2 once said,

“Will no one rid us of this meddlesome REMF?”
