"what do you mean we can't use fake misleading videos to fuck democracy?"

perhaps illegal was not the correct word. let's say on the very unethical side of an ethical scale of pardons (president having pardon powers is already starting with a non zero unethical score for me)
It is not that Trump has her directly under her control by some sort of blackmail. It is more like situational control. She has benefited from the Trump presidency to the point that her gross misconducts were pardoned. That now ties her sort of organically to Trump and if newcomers want to undo everything Trump has done and take some sort of revenge, they will pay extra attention to dig extra dirt that such people have (which this woman most definitely has).
my assumption is that if Trump ever goes he will be going down with a lot of trouble and people will try to undo his damages and make an example from those who benefited from his abuse of powers such as clearly illegal pardons.
that is how you get goons. now she knows she is fucked if Trump goes and she will do whatever it takes to make sure he doesn't
By the same logic democrats have made a big concession and a favour to you by not winning the elections
"First you attack with all you have and then I will swoop in like the defender of peace and force them into a deal that unilaterally favours you"
so putting batteries in the fridge wasn't useful after all, we should put them in the oven
yea most likely they want to reduce local and global support to Zelensky by saying "look we offered peace but he did not take", of course they will likely offer some unacceptable terms.
Great lets build them a secluded place in Greenland with smart home tech, all AI apps and only AI maintenance crew, doctors etc. Don't worry Greenland, you can have it back in about a year's time when they all kill themselves.

I would like to invite, to the stage, all the Jews who were complaining that calling Israel's actions a genocide is diminishing the importance of the Holocaust
