Trump’s Immoral Pardons Prove that Presidential Powers Must be Limited and Controlled by the Legislative Branch

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart

Trump has pardoned some of the greatest criminals in modern history. Why not? The Supreme Court pardoned the orange buffoon for acts of treason on January 6, 2021, and violating the Espionage Act on January 20, 2021.

One important fact is confirmed by his dangerous actions: Trump’s administration is indeed the Washington Mafia 2.0.

I know that history will remember January 6, 2021 as the darkest day in American history. A sitting president spoke to his Nazi supporters just outside of the White House. He ordered them to march to the Capitol Building and prevent the certification of the Electoral College vote. The insurrection had been planned and organized over several weeks during meetings at the Willard Hotel.

The events which followed resulted in a violent invasion on Capitol Hill as Trump’s mob searched the Capitol for Nancy Pelosi and Mike Pence. Their orders were to hang them just outside of the Building.

However, that was a minor offense compared to the failure of law enforcement to immediately arrest the worst illegitimate president in American history, and charge him with treason.

If you did not watch all three hours of this unforgivable event, you have no right to an opinion. Fox News edited the attempted coup in an obvious effort to hide the truth.

More than 1,600 men and women were tried and convicted in a court of law, but not for the actual crime they committed. One of Trump’s first actions in January of 2025 was to pardon all 1,600 violent criminals.

Trump did not stop there. He subsequently pardoned other criminals; most recently George Santos and Rudy Giuliani. Here’s how it works: if you display loyalty to the orange buffoon, you may be convicted of your crimes, but Trump will set you free.

I don’t know what country, what nation I live in today. What I do know is that it is not the United States of America I lived in for 79 years of my life.

The Real Victims in the Trump Saga

Image
  Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Trump’s defense strategy has changed, slightly. He claims that all of his legal battles are founded in political strategy, created by his enemies. He is playing the role of a victim. I guess part of Trump’s decline in mental acuity is a severe loss of memory. He appears to forget that many of the crimes he is accused of began long before he made the mistake of seeking the presidency. Others, including his insurrection on January 6, and stolen classified documents are actions witnessed by every American. We are not falling for your bullshit, Donnie Boy. THE REAL VICTIMS A brief look at Trump’s history reveals a life of crime. From bribing public officials, and refusing to pay contractors, to allegations of physical, sexual assault, the orange buffoon left a long trail of victims. As your illegitimate president, he violated the basic human rights of thousands. According to medical experts, Trump’s failure to take timely action to prevent an oncom...

Aileen Cannon: A Corrupt Judge Appointed by a Lifelong Criminal

Image
  Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Aileen Cannon is a federal judge, appointed by Donald Trump. She has been charged with one of the most important cases involving Trump’s life of crime; his theft of classified documents when he was evicted from the White House on January 20, 2021. Yesterday she gave Trump a gift by delaying his upcoming trial. The events which followed prove that he violated the Espionage Act of 1917. He is also guilty of lying to the FBI, a federal crime. Before the raid on Mar-a-Lago, when they discovered boxes of national secrets hidden throughout the millionaire’s playpen, he claimed that he had returned all of them. TRUMP AND HIS SUPPORTERS: LIES, MISDIRECTION, BASELESS ATTACKS You might have noticed that Trump, his failed party, and his supporters constantly lie about everything. There is undeniable proof that the only attempted fraud in the 2020 election can be attributed to Trump supporters. The 91 indictments against Trump are not a “witch hunt:” I have ...

“The Economy is in ‘Pretty Good Shape?’”

Image
Bessent is not quite a billionaire, yet, but he is a perfect example of how ignorant Trump’s administration is. Scott Bessent is Trump’s unqualified Treasury Secretary. He is not one of the billionaires on Trump’s cabinet, but he is worth 521 million dollars. This one fact prevents the old, white man from understanding what it is to be a real American in the 21 st century. What they're saying: "There is a little uncertainty, but in general, the companies I've spoken to, CEOs, who have come into Treasury tell me that the economy is very solid," Bessent said at a conference hosted by the American Bankers Association. Really? Nobody asked me. I can offer you one fact, one example of how ignorant this Trump stooge actually is. My wife and I worked for about 40 years each. We chose our professions badly. The only retirement income we have is what we paid for: our Social Security. In January we received a 2.5 percent increase in our monthly checks. However, the cost of nec...
