The President of the United States, in front of a crowd of his supporters, during a televised rally, admits to a Quid Pro Quo pardon, which is a felony and impeachable offence. And absolutely nothing will happen, because his party, which controls congress, are fascist collaborators and sycophants.

Meh, not a thing
Could the current Congress refuse to seat winners in the next Congress?
No, and this is a common misunderstanding.

The House that judges who is entitled to a seat is the new one that convenes on January 3, not the outgoing (lame-duck) one. When the current House’s terms end at noon, the old House — its speaker, its majority, its committees, its rules — ceases to exist. The current House can hold hearings or pass resolutions before it concludes, but nothing it does binds how the new House organizes itself. The new House starts fresh and judges every seat for itself.

This is what commentators miss when they warn that a “lame-duck” House majority could refuse to seat incoming members. By the time the new Congress meets, the old one is gone. There is no “House” left to do the refusing.

A BFD. As people get ready to fill their heating oil tanks for the winter, they learn it will cost 80% more than last year. Your early Christmas Gift from Trump and the Republican Party is that your Christmas present budget will now go to their friends in the oil business.

In the presidential immunity case, the court considered a hypothetical of a president ordering Navy Seals to assassinate an American political rival. Trump's lawyer argued unambiguously yes, since it'd be an "official act." The Roberts Court ruled in his favor, 6-3. Why wouldn't Trump believe this?

➡️ Larry Ellison is the real money machine behind this merger ➡️ Gave $15 million to Sen. Tim Scott’s PAC. ➡️ Threw a dark money lifeline to Trump during the 2024 elections, donating a nice, untraceable $45 million. ➡️ Gave $16 million to Trump directly to “settle” a fake lawsuit against CBS.

The Paramount merger sucks for everyone—except David Ellison
In a normal world, no one would be letting ultimate failson David Ellison run anything.

If Trump & Vought get away with this "surprise," they destroy the balance of power. They sneakily froze $810M right as Congress left town, running out the clock to kill vital science and aid funding. Thankfully, a federal judge stepped in to throw a wrench in their strategy—THE SURPISE IS ON THEM!
