It’s time for a constitutional amendment to reform the pardon power. Trump has turned it into a pay to play debacle and a shield for his corruption. No more.

This White House does not "demolish" fraud, it commits it, and pardons it.
The White House
@WhiteHouseOct 24
Americans need to trust the institutions that their tax dollars are funding. That trust is broken when fraud is allowed to run rampant. The Trump Administration is demolishing fraud at every turn.

Imagine if a Democrat went 0-27 in court trying to build a national list of voters and still wouldn’t stop. Imagine what Republicans would say.

I am always against monkeying around with the Constitution, but if Trump does this and links it to policy areas, then it really is time to change or eliminate the pardon power, which was never supposed to be used as a blanket shield for preventing accountability

1. The Justice Department has no standing to sue election authorities in Alaska. 2. The Constitution empowers states to administer congressional elections. 3. Alaska's courts have already addressed and solved the issue. 4. And what about the voters who mistakenly thought they were voting for challenger Sullivan instead of Senator Sullivan? 5. As ever, it's a Trumpian press-release lawsuit designed to intimidate and inflame.

YIKES 😳 Trump snaps at a reporter asking him about why he's dismissing sexual abuse allegations 👇 WOMAN REPORTER: Do the sexual abuse allegations mean nothing to you, sir? TRUMP: Wait. Wait! Wait wait wait. Slow down. Who are you with? REPORTER: NBC, sir. But they are very serious sexual abuse allegations TRUMP: Quiet! Isn't she a fresh person? You're a horrible little reporter, aren't you?

I don't believe that Musk turned off Starlink to Ukraine at his own sole initiative. I believe Trump is implicated up to his painted eyebrows. But if it should be true that Musk did it - then Starlink and Space X must be nationalized by the US government immediately.
