So, this lastest pardon by Trump......

was it an act of kindness? Or was it a show? I am glad that she has been pardoned, but I am perplexed how quickly it took place. He keeps sending signals to his goons and this is obstruction in plain sight! I know Mueller sees it, but what will the GOP do about it?

I don't believe for a second that a pair of egomaniacs like Trump and Kim Thong-Un actually give a shit about human beings.
