| second: Donald Trump’s Pardon Economy. For some wealthy offenders, clemency is just a golf game, or a million-dollar plate at Mar-a-Lago, away. When I asked Osler which pardons bothered him most, he said, “It’s those that have gone to the people who are fabulously wealthy. These are the people who have been advantaged by so much. With my students, we’ve told the stories of people who are fabulously poor and are being ignored.” Clemency, Osler continued, “has begun to take the form that the worst parts of government have already had, which is to be dominated by lobbying. It’s been O.K., if you are a polluter, to hire people who are connected to the President to inveigh on your behalf and pay them tons of money. That wasn’t how clemency worked. But now that kind of ugly fog has floated over to what’s supposed to be about mercy.” [go to link] |

| second: At his press conference after yesterday’s attempted shooting, President Trump cited the attack as proof of the need for his wished-for White House ballroom. Trump cares a lot about his ballroom. People who seek his favor have learned to care too. But still, attempted murder as an after-the-fact justification for a home renovation? It seems not only radically beside the point but also quite a humiliating climb-down from last fall’s project to use the martyrdom of Charlie Kirk to consolidate MAGA’s political domination.

| 6ixStringJack: You just tried killing Trump again last night. And you failed again. Like you always do. Because you're nothing but a bunch of losers. |
| 6ixStringJack: Nobody cares what you activists think of J6. That's just something else that will be appealed and Trump won't pay a dime of it. You people are so pathetic, and you all need to grow up. |

| second: On March 31, 2026, U.S. District Judge Mehta ruled that Trump. Is. Civilly. Liable for the damages he caused on January 6, 2021. Judge Mehta’s cautious 79 page ruling (found here: [go to link] ) denied Trump civil immunity through a careful analysis largely devoted to distinguishing between Trump’s criminal actions as an office-holder (official-acts immunity), and his actions in seeking office, which were not official acts and therefore are not immune. The decision carefully followed the Supreme Court’s immunity ruling, and will allow claims against him from members of Congress and capital police officers to proceed to trial. Proving damages will be easy: [go to link] |
| second: Senior State Department officials delivered an ultimatum to Cuba's communist government during a secret meeting. U.S. diplomats told their Cuban counterparts that they had a small window to meet U.S. demands before circumstances irreversibly worsened. The Pentagon was asked to draw up contingency plans in case Trump decides to launch a military operation: [go to link] Trump did not slap down the notion that he was considering military action when reporters prodded him to comment. |
| second: As of April 25, 2026, Trump has reportedly killed over 160 people in International waters since September 2025 because, hey!, he feels like it is a grand idea, better than firing squad executions because there is no need to dispose of the bodies floating in the ocean. The fish will eat the yummy, yummy corpses for Trump. [go to link] You gotta appreciate the HUGE cost-savings for the US government by letting sharks eat the people Trump kills. |
| 6ixStringJack: Fags. |
| second: Because Trump is a big fan of Malcolm Reynolds and River Tam shooting people, the Trump administration announced that the Justice Department will adopt firing squads as a permitted method of execution: [go to link] Will execution by ax and sword also be adopted because River Tam used both in the movie? Waiting for Trump's decision on those two methods. |

| second: Trump admin fired Navy secretary for refusing to ignore court order. Hegseth and Phelan "butted heads" when Phelan refused to ignore a recent federal judge’s ruling that it would be a violation of First Amendment rights to punish Senator Mark Kelly (D-AZ) for making a video in which he reminded military officers of their constitutional duty to reject illegal orders: [go to link] |

| 6ixStringJack: "THG: Too bad no firefly browncoats are coming to the site to protest the destruction of America and therefor its democratic ways. Shame on them" No. Shame on YOU for living the way you do. You two assholes scare everyone off. |
| second: Trump’s first term featured plenty of people freaking out over his day-to-day pronouncements. But a large amount of abnormal rhetoric or reported behind-the-scenes behavior was also waved aside as hot air, or exaggeration, or dark humor for supporters who were in on the gag. That’s much harder this time, when there’s frequently the force of government behind them, something the media members in attendance for Trump’s speech on Saturday understand all too well.
This is the difference between Trump I and Trump II: Nobody is laughing this time. [go to link] |

| second: The trap Trump set himself by launching his war against Iran is twofold—sparking frustration among Americans over rising gas prices while deepening divisions in his MAGA base. A host of MAGA figures have turned on the warmongering president, feeling betrayed over his reversal on his “no new wars” pledge. [go to link] |
