Yesterday Trump put on a sideshow which was completely staged and not very well. For days Trump claimed he labored over his choice to replace Anthony Kennedy on the Supreme Court. Today we learned that Trump and Kennedy colluded before Kennedy announced his resignation. Kennedy said he would resign but only if Trump nominated his former law clerk, Brett Kavanaugh. Everything about yesterday was a lie and a farce; but we’ve learned to expect that from the orange man.

Trump loves his ‘power to pardon.’ So far everyone he has relieved from their criminal past is a degenerate and should have been incarcerated for a very long period of time.

His latest pardon was given to Dwight and Steven Hammond. You may remember the Hammonds. They barricaded themselves and other ranchers in a federal building in Oregon, and set fire to federal lands; a federal crime.

One fire was set to hide the fact that they were poaching. A second fire was set intentionally, although they were aware that they were endangering BLM firefighters in the area. It was clear to prosecutors, the judge and jury that they were attempting to murder those same firefighters.

Arson on federal lands carries an automatic five-year sentence. Acting U.S. Attorney Billy Williams said at the time of sentencing, “Congress sought to ensure that anyone who maliciously damages United States’ property by fire will serve at least 5 years in prison. These sentences are intended to be long enough to deter those like the Hammonds who disregard the law and place fire fighters and others in jeopardy.”

Trump pardoned criminals who have constantly shown that they have no respect for the law. They are obviously like-minded cowards.

As Trump was bragging about nominating another Supreme Court justice, he was planning to pardon the Hammonds. He literally “flipped off” the Justice department.

How can this low-life be allowed to nominate a member of our nation’s highest court? Trump has bribed multiple officials during the process of “making deals.” He violated immigration laws by bringing “models” from foreign nations into the United States, and put them to work, while their visas only allowed “tourism.” In addition, he lied about having sexual affairs with a porn star and a Playboy model just after Barron was born. He has been accused of sexual assault by 20 women; and he is allowed to nominate a Justice of the Supreme Court while constantly violating the Constitution.

As my wife says; “this country is f**ked up.” And it’s all the responsibility of Trump and his hypocritical party.

Please tell others about my blog; thank you. Everyone deserves the truth.
