Jonathan Braun’s return to prison after receiving a Trump commutation underscores how Trump’s soft-on-crime clemencies for unrepentant offenders reward violent criminals and endanger Americans.
Trump, and I would argue Republicans at large, despite their tough on crime talk, have a real affinity for criminals…as long as they are White. Birds of a feather, flock together.
This was not an act of mercy. It was a statement of blatant disregard for the law and a wish for further violence against innocent human beings. Mercy is something else altogether.
I don't like to speak ill of anyone. But he really is a scumbag. No, he's a douchebag. Wait, the more I think about it, he's a motherfucking scumbag who sucks on douchebags. Excuse my French.
Just open all the jail doors and let everyone out
That's a far cry from 10 years. If he were black he'd gotten life.
tRump is a violent criminal, that likes to pardon other violent criminals.
Birds of a feather . . . . . . . . .
Where does trump digs these people up from?????

THE COMMON GOOD MANIFESTO
A society built for people, not predators.
We are at our best when we invest in each other.
We are at our worst when we abandon the vulnerable.
This manifesto is how we return to the common good.
I. DIGNITY AND JUSTICE
1. Release the Epstein files — full transparency, no exceptions.
2. Impeach, convict, and imprison Donald Trump and every handler who enabled his corruption.
3. No federal office for any convicted felon.
4. End the weaponization of the justice system against the poor, immigrants, LGBTQ people, and marginalized communities.
II. DEMOCRACY THAT ACTUALLY WORKS
1. Abolish the Electoral College — one person, one vote.
2. Abolish ICE — replace it with humane immigration policy that honors human rights.
3. Ban gerrymandering with a standardized national apportionment method.
4. Two-term limits for every elected office.
5. Mandatory retirement at 70 for all elected officials.
6. Paper ballots only — end the era of hackable voting machines.
III. AN ECONOMY THAT SERVES PEOPLE
1. Restore 1950s-style progressive tax rates — when America was prosperous and fair.
2. Overturn Citizens United — corporations are not people.
3. Eliminate the Social Security payroll cap and tax capital gains for Social Security contributions.
4. $25 minimum wage indexed to inflation.
5. Medicare for All, one unified system — no A/B/C/D maze.
6. Congress receives Medicare, not boutique private insurance.
IV. WORKERS, CREATIVES, AND PUBLIC SERVANTS
1. Big pay raises for social workers, teachers, librarians, artists, and cultural workers — the people who actually hold society together.
2. Universal childcare — because families are the foundation of the nation.
3. Free public university education.
4. Full forgiveness of all student debt.
V. CLEAN GOVERNMENT
1. Root out corruption at every level, starting at the top.
2. Full financial transparency for every elected official, appointee, and senior bureaucrat.
3. Ban lobbying for former officeholders for life.
VI. THE FUTURE WE CHOOSE
We choose a country that values:
• Compassion over cruelty
• Community over greed
• Truth over propaganda
• Shared prosperity over billionaire hoarding
• Democracy over minority rule
• Human dignity over corporate profit
We choose a nation where the common good is not a slogan, but the organizing principle of public life.
And we refuse to apologize for demanding better.
This was not an act of mercy. It was a statement of blatant disregard for the law and a wish for further violence against innocent human beings. Mercy is something else altogether.
There we go AGAIN!!!
Shocker
