I love how the outrage here is that federal employees refused to let Muskโ€™s minions from DOGE โ€” a bullshit private body that has absolutely no right to access this info โ€” have open access to federal systems. Itโ€™s like getting indignant that a muggerโ€™s victim had the audacity to resist.

Trump has already halted much-needed hiring at the National Park Service. By eliminating personnel & funding, conditions at the Parks will further deteriorate, so he can use that as an excuse to privatize the Parks, selling them to the highest bidder & making them into playgrounds for the rich.

Trumpโ€™s pardons donโ€™t stop with January 6 insurrectionists. On Tuesday, he also freed a massive dark web drug dealer. Ross Ulbricht ran Silk Road, an online black market that moved $200 million worth of illegal drugs, distributed fake passports, helped hackers collaborate, and laundered money.

MAGAts, spare us your sanctimonious belly-aching! Especially after bragging about how proud you were to vote for a lying, immoral, traitorous, rapist felon! Trump ran for president for two reasons: 1) to stay out of prison, and 2) retribution. Joe is just protecting his son against what was to come.
