Joe Exotic might as well have expected to be picked up by a flying saucer trailing a comet passing by the earth. Joe can join the club of farmers and coal miners who thought Trump was sincere about helping them. ‘Tiger King’ star Joe Exotic books limousine ahead of expected pardon from Donald Trump By FOX 4 Staff FOX 4 News Dallas-Fort Worth January 20, 2020 ‘Tiger King’ star Joe Exotic books limousine ahead of expected pardon from Donald Trump excerpt: "SKY4 spotted the limo he booked to pick himself up from a prison in Tarrant County parked outside of his attorney's office on Tuesday afternoon in Fort Worth. His legal team also said Exotic, if pardoned, would get properly dressed and styled before speaking publicly. Exotic was convicted and sentenced to 22 years in prison for a murder-for-hire plot involving nemesis Carole Baskin as well as violating wildlife laws in the selling and death of some tigers. Exotic’s attorneys filed a pardon application with the Department of Justice back in September. Trump is expected to pardon or commute the sentences of more than 100 people before leaving office on Wednesday."
It’s simple- Joe Exotic never did a damn thing for Trump. Even if he did, he would have gotten used like a piece of toilet paper and STILL not granted a pardon!
Joe Exotic filing a pardon application with the DOJ was the first mistake. Trump doesn't use normal vetting avenues. He should have campaigned heavily for Trump in 2020 if he expected any chance.

Donald Duck is the result of evangelicals creating a phony political party called the Tea Party, and using it to totally dominate the republican party. The idiots actually believed they could spit out all the meaningless rhetoric they wanted, could totally trash the constitution and judicial system, and could retain control the Tea Party made of blue smoke and mirrors, until Donald Duck stomped all over them, beating them senseless with their own fucking lies. They will be made to pay, or the country will be destroyed.

Leigh Hildebrand, senior assistant parliamentarian in the U.S. Senate, was the one who grabbed the mahogany boxes that contained the Electoral College votes after the Capitol had been breached. Off the rails: Trump fixates on GOP disloyalty as mob ransacks Capitol excerpt: "Pence and members of the leadership had been whisked out while the rest of the senators remained in their seats. Staffers lined the chamber wall. When it came their time to evacuate, many left personal belongings — and even some cellphones — behind. One of the parliamentarians, Leigh Hildebrand, knew to grab the mahogany boxes containing the Electoral College votes. This was precious cargo, and it was crucial to keep the historic paperwork out of marauders' hands."

The retreat of senators to the basement area of the Capitol. They ended up in a hearing room. Off the rails: Trump fixates on GOP disloyalty as mob ransacks Capitol excerpt: "Wedged into a single-file line, the unwieldy group moved from the Senate chambers down a narrow stairwell. Police and heavily armed agents blocked off doors and hallways. Some of the younger staffers cried. As the line stalled, Sen. Lindsey Graham wandered over to a set of large windows overlooking a courtyard. A parade of blue Trump flags floated by. "Lindsey!" another senator snapped. "Get away from the window." Below, police officers tried to jam a set of elevator doors with floor mats, small tables, and anything else they could get their hands on, to take the elevators offline and pen in the rioters on other floors of the Capitol. The group reached a deserted subway corridor, and a police officer came sprinting down the tracks, parting the crowd like the Red Sea. The senators resumed their exodus, and someone cracked a poor joke about not being able to socially distance. An injured police officer emerged, leaning on another officer. Her eyes were red and swollen, possibly from chemical irritation, and she was clearly in pain. At last the senators and their staffs reached their destination — a large hearing room with rows of long tables covered in black cloth. Senate Sergeant-at-Arms Michael Stenger grabbed a microphone to give an update. He looked pale and shocked. He tried to speak, but his voice kept breaking. He tapped the microphone several times and cleared his throat but the words wouldn't come out. Graham lost it. "This is ridiculous!" he shouted. "You all need to use every resource and every weapon to take back the Senate. Get these thugs out of here!" "Shut up!" Sen. Sherrod Brown shot back, from behind the dais. "Shut up, let him speak!" A police officer took over, as Stenger retreated."

The name of Devin Nunes surfaces repeatedly in Trump's attempts to gut agencies and have them run by his inexperienced loyalists. Like Ellis, Patel was affiliated with Nunes. Off the rails: Inside Trump’s aborted plan to control the CIA excerpt: "The ploy to rattle Haspel and perhaps intentionally trigger her resignation unfolded in a lurching and incompetent way, like a bad Monty Python skit, on one chaotic day in early December. White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows was ordered to fire — and then immediately unfire — the CIA's Deputy Director Vaughn Bishop. In his place, Trump planned to install Kash Patel — a former top Intelligence Committee staffer to Nunes who had served on Trump's National Security Council but had no agency experience. In Trump's mind, this could potentially lead to Patel running the agency without needing to get Senate confirmation. Trump had spent his last year in office ruminating over Haspel. Some of Trump's hardcore allies, including Fox Business host Maria Bartiromo, had been publicly raising doubts in his mind about her. He grew to distrust her and instead wanted a loyal ally at the top of the CIA.
Off the rails: Inside Trump’s aborted plan to control the CIA excerpt: "She wasn't the only national security official the president wanted out. Six days after the election, he had fired Defense Secretary Mark Esper. He replaced Esper with counterterrorism chief Chris Miller — and then stunned long-time national security hands by installing Patel as Miller's chief of staff. Patel had no military experience and was widely seen as a political mercenary bent on punishing the president's perceived "deep state" foes. But Trump told confidants he had bigger plans for Patel: He'd replace long-time CIA veteran Bishop with Patel, and if Haspel quit in protest, then Patel or another loyalist could lead the CIA."
What most Americans will never fucking admit, is that cooperative government is redundant. Either you look for some sort of middle fucking ground, or you kill each other.
