Another person said, I'll be honest, one of the things that Trump can legitimately be criticized for is blatant corruption like this.

There is no reason to give pardons to scumbags like Joseph Schwartz or that asshole who was employing illegals at his kosher meatpacking plant.

The Democrats are obviously far worse on this score.

Trump does not pardon convicted terrorists like Biden, Bill Clinton, Barack Obama, or Jimmy Carter did, but it is still a terrible look and smacks of quid pro quo.

And I think that that last point is really important to note because nothing that's happening right now is specific to Trump.

It is not revolutionary.

Like, people on the left cannot point to Trump and say, ha ha ha, we're so much better than you.

Like, no, bullshit, you are not.

You all did it too.

Welcome to the uniparty where everybody gets to play and profit, except for normal Americans.

We just get to sit and watch as all of this transpires.

And what's so frustrating is that voters genuinely believed that this time would be better and would be different.

For example, just a couple months ago, they hoped that when Nick Shirley broke the internet talking about the Minnesota Somali fraud, that something would actually happen, that arrests would really be made.

But instead, they got to watch Kristi Noem do glam photo shoots in Minnesota.

They got to watch hype TikToks of ICE running through the streets of Minneapolis.

They're watching hype videos about a task force while a story of glaring hypocrisy goes viral.

And they wonder why people are tired.

But they are tired.

They're exhausted.

Like even James O'Keefe, who has spent his entire career trying to expose corruption and fraud on every side of the Black Isle, even he is questioning why he and so many other investigative journalists continue to put their lives and reputation and finances on the line when nothing actually happens, when no arrests are made.
