Hot Mic Captures Matt Gaetz Assuring Roger Stone of Presidential Pardon


The Washington Post reports that during an October 2019 event at a Trump property, a hot mic video caught Matt Gaetz telling Roger Stone he'd likely be found guilty of the obstruction charges and other crimes he was facing, but assured Stone that “the Boss” would likely grant him clemency, even if he were convicted because "The Boss still has a very favorable view of you.”  Gaetz then explained to Stone how he was working on getting him a pardon, but was hesitant to say more backstage at the event "Since there are many, many recording devices around right now, I do not feel in a position to speak freely about the work I've already done on that subject."

So, here we have a man charged with obstruction, witness tampering, fraud, and conspiracy, negotiating a presidential pardon from a guy serving on the House Judiciary Committee, who stands accused of child sex trafficking.  I mean, who could possibly have an issue with that?


The thing is, it seems this band of “not so Goodfellas,” just can’t seem to keep their big mouths shut.  That’s the thing with criminals - they just can’t seem to stop themselves from talking about their crimes.  It's like going to the bar with your coworkers to try and relax - and someone’s inevitably going to bring up work.


Hell, Stone even told journalist Howard Fineman that Trump "knows I was under enormous pressure to turn on him.  It would have eased my situation considerably, but I didn’t.”  Oh really?  Well, that makes things pretty clear - either Trump helps Roger Stone, or Stone starts singing like a canary.  And, what do you know?  Trump pardoned Stone on all of his seven felony convictions!  Gee, who could’ve seen that coming?


Fact is, blabber-mouth Trump even praised Stone “publicly” for not “flipping” on him.  Now, not to be judgmental, but if you’re thanking someone for “not flipping” on you, doesn’t that sort of imply there must have been something there to “flip?”  You can call me “old-fashioned,” but I always thought a presidential pardon was supposed to be used to correct injustices, not to reward underlings for covering up your crimes.  


Why, all this “the Boss will take care of things” talk, makes it sound just like they’re talking about a “mob boss,” not a sitting US President.  These folks not only talk like mobsters, but they also act like mobsters.  Gee, maybe they are mobsters?  A guy in the construction business in New York, involved with the mob?  Say it isn’t so!  Frankly, it must be tough for Trump and his pals to try and figure out if they wanna be mobsters, fascists, or just plain assholes.  Personally, I’d prefer to think of them as “inmates.”

Donald Trump Sporting Slick New Hairdo for UK Visit

Donald Trump Sporting Slick New Hairdo for UK Visit:   US President Donald Trump is showing off a shockingly new slicked-back hairdo, as he prepares to meet with the Queen during his first official state visit to the UK. Good God?  What the hell is that all about?  Is he trying to bring back the mullet?  Either that, or he’s secretly planning on entering a Gary Busey lookalike contest as soon as he gets to London. My guess is, he’s trying to put on his best bohunk sexy look for his meetup with the queen.  One thing’s for sure, he now actually looks exactly like the greasy, mob slime ball he tries to act like.  Maybe he figures that if he ever does get impeached, when they come to get him, no one will be able to recognize him.  But hell, even if he does get impeached, he’ll have nothing to worry as far as getting a job.  I mean, what respectable La Vegas used car lot wouldn’t wanna hire a guy who looks like that? https://ww...

Trump Tells Hannity He Can Declassify Secret Documents With Just His Mind

During a recent interview on Fox News with Sean Hannity, former president Donald Trump tried to defend stashing extremely sensitive classified documents at his Mar-a-Lago resort by saying he was the president, and the president can declassify, simply by “saying its declassified.”   Trump further added that “there doesn't have to be a process - there can be a process, but there doesn't have to be.”   Trump then told Hannity that if you're the president of the United States, you can actually declassify something “by just ‘ thinking’ about it.”   Oh, my word!  You mean to tell me Trump actually thinks he can declassify the government's most guarded secrets, simply by “thinking about them?”  Now, not to be critical, but it sure sounds like someone has been spending way too much of their spare time binge-watching old episodes of “I Dream of Jeannie.”  I mean, about the only thing he left out was that he also sprinkled the documents with “pixie dust!” This...

Trump Takes to Truth Social to Spread ‘Roomer’ About Ron DeSantis

Former president Donald Trump just shared some juicy gossip about Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis on his Truth Social platform.   Trump posted, “Roomer (sic) are (sic) strong in political circles that Ron DeSanctimonious, whose Presidential run is a shambles, and whose poll numbers have absolutely crashed, putting him 3rd and 4th in some states, will be dropping out of the Presidential race in order to run, in Florida, against Rick Scott for Senate.   Now that’s an interesting one, isn’t it?” Gee, Donald Trump spreading “roomers?”  Say it ain’t so!   Now, me thinks perhaps that prestigious Wharton School of Business Trump attended might want to consider adding some basic 3rd-grade spelling classes to its curriculum.   Apparently, Trump is stalled at that level of language development where he is still spelling words phonetically.   Why his poor spelling makes him look like a real “looser.”   Frankly, I’m not sure its a wise choice for Republicans to choose ...
