10 November—So Donald Trump’s latest abomination is his pardon of 77 fellow scumbags who tried to overturn the 2020 presidential election by foul means. He didn’t have to pardon himself as leader of the vile insurrection because thanks to his fan club on the Supreme Court who have encouraged him to break the law he’s unpunishable.

Trump executed and excreted the omnibus reactive/proactive pardon for all the usual suspects on Friday but the disgusting news—euphemized as a proclamation—was posted by his scummy pardon attorney, Ed Martin, on Elon Musk’s overused social platform, rather than Trump’s, only last night:

“I, DONALD J. TRUMP, do hereby grant a full, complete, and unconditional pardon to all United States citizens for conduct relating to the advice, creation, organization, execution, submission, support, voting, activities in, or advocacy for or of any slate of presidential electors . . . [and] any conduct relating to their efforts to expose voting fraud and vulnerabilities in connection with the 2020 Presidential Election.”

Did somebody forget to mention in the feculent post that Trump was President of the United States? Okay, it’s incredibly painful to type that.

And Trump’s termagant press secretary, Karoline Leavitt, compounded the insult to integrity and justice by bullshitting that the latest crop of pardoned criminals “were persecuted and put through hell by the Biden Administration for challenging an election, which is the cornerstone of democracy. Getting prosecuted for challenging results is something that happens in communist Venezuela, not the United States of America, and President Trump is putting an end to the Biden Regime’s communist tactics once and for all.”

It’s worth noting that Karoline didn’t claim or even imply that Trump had actually won the 2020 election in spite of Joe Biden’s communist tactics. Well, maybe she ever so vaguely implied it. On the other hand, her juxtaposition of persecuted and prosecuted is sweet. Karoline Leavitt is damn good. Disgusting, disgraceful, full of shit, to be sure—just like her boss on all counts. But Trump couldn’t ask for a more obnoxious—and thus Trumpishly perfect—press secretary.

(We’ll see what happens with challenges to the 2026 midterm election results that are likely to be subverted by Trump’s unspeakably corrupt machine.)

It’s also worth noting that Trump’s unquestionably loyal pardon attorney, Ed Martin, was himself a Stop the Steal stalwart who claimed the 2020 election was rigged and that Trump had won it. But Martin evidently just talked nonsense, so he avoided arrest. And Martin was the scumbag-in-chief’s interim U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia but couldn’t muster enough support even among Trumpublicans in the Senate to get confirmed for the permanent job. But it ultimately paid Martin to suck up to Trump.

This latest tranche of ludicrous Trump clemency recipients must be purely symbolic because the pardoned scumbags were convicted or are pending trial in state courts rather than federal courts. For all the good that’ll do. So there must be something more sinister behind the latest executive clemency. But what?
