During what Axios reports was a lengthy phone call between the two corrupt autocrats, Israeli dictator Benjamin Netanyahu on Monday once again nagged convicted felon President Trump to do something, anything to help him get a pardon for his crimes, something which US sources said prompted Donald to tell “Bibi” he did all that he could do with his several public demands to Israeli President Isaac Herzog. Israeli sources said it was Trump who brought up the pardon quest, given that Netanyahu had formally applied for it on Sunday, beginning a rubber-stampy review process.
It’s not clear what the hell else Trump is supposed to do to turn the screws on Herzog. Putting tariffs on Israel would just get the country’s voters pissed off at Netanyahu and bolster Herzog.
Kind of like in Brazil, where Trump’s pressure campaign against President Luiz Lula over Jair Bolsonaro seems to have tapered off, judging by what the fat bastard posted minutes ago: “We had a very productive call with President Lula of Brazil. Among the things discussed were Trade, how our Countries could work together to stop Organized Crime, Sanctions imposed on various Brazilian dignitaries, Tariffs, and various other items. President Lula and I established a relationship at a meeting which took place at the United Nations, and I believe it set the stage for very good dialogue and agreement long into the future. I look forward to seeing and speaking with him soon.”
“Much good will come out of this newly formed partnership!” Trump continued. Bolsonaro’s currently in a cell in a police academy in Brasilia and has plenty of contact with the outside world. So he’ll hear about this pretty soon if not already. Hope it hurts emotionally, knowing his pal just fucked him.
Less hurt and more just rolling their eyes will be Liz Cheney, Adam Schiff, and Hunter Biden after Trump’s next post, in which the drooling, demented slob wrote “Any and all Documents, Proclamations, Executive Orders, Memorandums, or Contracts, signed by Order of the now infamous and unauthorized ‘AUTOPEN,’ within the Administration of Joseph R Biden Jr, are hereby null, void, and of no further force or effect. Anyone receiving ‘Pardons,’ ‘Commutations,’ or any other Legal Document so signed, please be advised that said Document has been fully and completely terminated, and is of no Legal effect. Thank you for your attention to this matter!”
On the other hand, please by all means empower future presidents to unilaterally declare their predecessor’s pardons null and void for any made-up bullshit reason they want. Yes please set that precedent without any regard to how it might have repercussions down the line.
