Trump should have pardoned Hillary on the way out. It would have been Karma
Pardoned her for what?
Defrauding Americans with a fake university and having to pay them $25 million? Having a fraudulent Foundation like Mop Head that spent the Foundations money on 6 foot portraits of Himself and also used it for campaign funds? Pardoned her for banging Johnny Wadd during her campaign and paying to cover it up with campaign funds?
How about pardoning her for committing treason in Helsinki by throwing The United States of America under the bus to appease her banker?
Oh Wait! Wrong person.
But I’ll give you this Jose, the humiliation for the world to see of the storming of our Capitol by some of the most mentally challenged maggots in our country that she instigated she should be jailed for.
Oh Wait!….
Musgrave is right. Evansville needs real leadership that addresses Covid-19. You can’t win the Covid War sitting at your desk and smiling to the cameras, while businesses suffer. Trump tried that and lost. Congrats to Musgrave for addressing the question “what more can elected officials doâ€.
I absolutely agree with you and Commissioner Musgrave. The “bad precedent” argument just doesn’t hold water in a hundred years pandemic that has such a paralyzing effect on everyday life.
