Because Republicans refuse to enforce the law on each other, America has become a banana republic.
The open grift is a slap in the face to our founding fathers and every soldier who sacrificed to keep America a country where everyone was accountable to the law.

It’s still corruption even when it’s being done out in the open.

And of course, conservatives don’t even discuss these things. It’s just another Tuesday to them, because their lord always has a good reason for doing anything and everything.
Such low lifeforms.

Am I weird for getting excited from the anticipation of seeing how MAGAs will respond to an article like this? Once they receive their spin from RW news, I wonder if it will be deflection (Hunter/Burisma, Pelosi insider trading, etc), deeming it fake news, or just dismissing it as a nothingburger.

Should a tax cheat really be able to pardon someone for being a tax cheat?

Ah good, we knew about the Quid but the Pro Quo is now there. Sadly, unless there is a video of Trump saying „If you pay to come to my dinner I will pardon your mother“ and then signing a document saying „This is a quid pro quo“ and „I am doing a corruption“ then SCOTUS thinks this is just a normal good official act.

On brand for Russian organized crime and corruption
There is something rancid in America, a slow, creeping rot that smells like cold McDonald’s fries, aerosol hairspray, and the unmistakable musk of a country too sedated to recognize its own hostage situation. For years, the idea that Donald Trump was compromised by Russia was dismissed as paranoid fantasy—just another wild-eyed conspiracy theory, another overblown headline in the endless saga of American political dysfunction.
But now, two former Soviet intelligence officers—Alnur Mussayev and Yuri Shvets—are saying it outright: Trump was recruited by the KGB in 1987, groomed as an asset, and remains under Russian control to this day.
And the worst part? He’s already back in the White House.
That’s right, America. You did it. You walked face-first into the banana peel of history, slipped, and fell straight into the arms of Vladimir Putin. Trump was kicked out in 2020, spent four years plotting his comeback, and now he’s returned, like a bloated, orange cockroach that just won’t die. The Kremlin’s favorite stooge is running the country again, and this time, he knows exactly how to stay in power.
If you think this is just another round of the Trump Show, you’re not paying attention. This isn’t politics anymore. This is treason. This is foreign subversion. This is a goddamn coup in slow motion.
Let’s break it down, nice and simple.
Alnur Mussayev isn’t some Twitter conspiracy theorist with a tinfoil hat and a podcast. He’s the former head of Kazakhstan’s National Security Committee, which means he knows exactly how Russian intelligence works—because he was part of the system. And what he’s saying should make every American’s blood run cold.
According to Mussayev, Trump was identified, recruited, and compromised by the KGB in 1987 during his first trip to Moscow. They saw him for what he was: a narcissistic, greedy, attention-starved buffoon who could be easily manipulated. The KGB flattered him, promised him business deals, and planted the seeds of political ambition in his empty little head. And from that moment on, he was their man.
But Mussayev isn’t alone. Former KGB major Yuri Shvets said the exact same thing in 2021: Trump was cultivated by Soviet intelligence because he was an easy mark—too stupid to realize he was being played, too egotistical to care. They saw him as a useful idiot—a man who could one day be nudged into power, a walking, talking Trojan Horse for Russian interests.
And now? The plan has worked. Trump spent four years in office weakening America from within, got booted out, and now he’s back for round two.
If you had told the American public in 1962 that a Soviet-backed asset would one day sit in the White House, they would have burned Washington to the ground before letting it happen. But today? Nobody seems to care.

Is he even eligible for a federal pardon? Or is trump done with him after he made himself and trump look ridiculous? And he’s got nothing to offer anymore?
