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.”

Trump Mocks Honest Abe During His Dallas Rally

Trump Mocks Honest Abe During His Dallas Rally:  President Donald Trump once again shocked critics by mocking Abraham Lincoln during his latest rally in Dallas, telling followers he would never be as presidential as "Honest Abe Lincoln when he's wearing that hat," adding that to be presidential like Lincoln - "all you have to do is act like a stiff.”  He then proceeded to mimic “a stiff,” by buttoning his blazer, speaking in a monotonous voice, and claiming that someone as boring as Lincoln could never win Texas. Wait a minute, that’s just crazy!  You’re telling me Donald Trump can actually button-up his blazer?  Wow, who could have ever seen that coming?  Anyway, Trump’s definitely right about one thing, the word “honest” will NEVER be used to describe Donald Trump - or his presidency. Of course, trying to compare Donald Trump to Abraham Lincoln is simply ridiculous, no matter how you look at it.  I mean, you’d have to go back a helluva lot furt...

Mike Huckabee Claims COVID-19 Death Risk Small and Sin Risk Lethal

Mike Huckabee Claims COVID-19 Death Risk Small and Sin Risk Lethal:   Former Republican presidential candidate Mike Huckabee has stirred some controversy with medical professionals by claiming that the risk of death from coronavirus is very “minimal,” but “sin is 100% lethal. Oh, really Mike?  Then how about showing me a death certificate which lists “sin” as the primary cause of death.  Of course, the fact is, sin couldn’t be 100% lethal, or a guy like me wouldn’t even be alive to write this.   On the other hand, maybe you’re on to something Mike - and sin really is lethal, and I secretly used a “ghostwriter” to write this joke. https://www.johnnyrobishcomedy.com

GOP Lawmaker Says Trump’s Conduct Crosses Impeachment Threshold

GOP Lawmaker Says Trump’s Conduct Crosses Impeachment Threshold:   Rep. Justin Amash (R-Mich.), has become the first Republican congressman to publicly state that, based on the Mueller Report - the President “engaged in impeachable conduct.”  Rep. Amash further added that Attorney General Barr “deliberately misrepresented” the Mueller Report’s findings to congress and to the American public. Oh boy!   One can only imagine the 3 AM tweet storm that’s gonna emanate from Trump’s porcelain throne over this level of betrayal.  I’ll tell you another thing, disloyalty of this magnitude to the Cult of Trump isn’t likely to set well in America’s trailer parks either.   But then again, what else is new?  After all, Republicans have never viewed reality as being in their best interests.  Now, I have no idea how all this is gonna finally go down, but I do know one thing - Justin Amash is definitely not gonna get an invite to Donald Trump's next wedding....
