About Those Pardons

I have a hypothesis about Trump's 250 pardons for the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence. Of course, if it happens, people will pay him bribes for the pardons. That's not the hypothesis.

My thought is that it wasn't his idea. At this point, he's surrounded by people who are falling over themselves to come up with the next worst thing he can do. I bet one of those reprobates came up with this as both a way to stick it to his haters, and to give him another bite at a bunch of bribes. 

You probably heard that it has become well known at major law firms that a million or two million dollars buys anyone a pardon these days. That's what we've come to. 

By the way, if you have access to Apple TV, I recommend Star City for a fictionalized look at life in the USSR in the late 1960s. It provides a glimpse of what it's like to live under the type of government today's Republican Party would like to institute here in the U.S.
