tRump acting like a despot. Using the presidency like it's his personal power uber alles

Pardoning your FRIENDS, not because there was a miscarriage of justice, but because they are your friends.

Asking the AG of the USA to drop the prosecution of a friend, for the sole reason that he is a friend.

Ordering that the military no longer accept trans people in their ranks, not bcause it has anything to do with the job or their performance of the same, but because you are bending to the sick beliefs of the Christianistas.

Colluding with Putin to steal an election.

And on and on it goes.

Any one of these is an abuse of power and impeachable. Yet tRump is immune, even though EVERYTHING he does is an abuse of power.

How? Why?

can not bring themselves to give up power and put the country before their party and their agenda. They are unpatriotic.

And soon, you just know nothing will change, in fact this pardon just gave him a huge boost to his ego, it had to.

If he gets away with it with nothing more than words on paper stating how bad it is to do what he did then his screwed up brain will tell him he can do no wrong and we are going to see an attempt to fire Mueller.

This pardon just opened the floodgates unless it hurts him in tangible ways.

I just don't understand why this hasn't ended yet, the last 8 months have been so far out of bounds and it's getting worse.

This fucking sucks
