Sorry for the Reddit and Twitter links, but this meme is old, at least two years old, and the watermark for the creator of this seems to be from @johnhackerla on Twitter who seems like someone I wouldn't trust with monetary policy.

I'm not sure which day the stock market was like this in 2022-2023 but I assume it was during the period where the Fed was trying to manage a "soft landing" coming out of the Covid pandemic and avoiding a recession.

This is why US should never allow blanket pardons or pardons before a conviction.

Not sure if this is really a great example to make your point, considering Maxwell was convicted already, and Trump wouldn't need to issue a blanket pardon to get her out of prison in exchange for her testimony.

The real issue here is that Trump knows there's no consequences if he does pardon her. He wouldn't get removed from office over it, and I doubt the House would even bring articles of impeachment. The Supreme Court has conceded him all the power, and Congress is too spinless to hold him accountable for anything.

No one is going to believe her if she says Trump was never a client of Epstein, and then he pardons or commutes her sentence. If she tells the truth, she's not getting the pardon. Trump could promise her the pardon, have her say he wasn't involved with Epstein, and then never pardon her, but then risk she might talk for revenge. Trump needs her to calm the conspiracy theory and shift the focus away from him, without appearing to give her clemency.

The conversation with him and Maude Lebowski is also a great example of this:

Maude Lebowski: Do you like sex, Mr. Lebowski?

The Dude: 'Scuse me?

Maude Lebowski: Sex. The physical act of love. Coitus. Do you like it?

The Dude: I was talking about my rug.

Maude Lebowski: You're not interested in sex?

The Dude: You mean coitus?

Not sure what the speed limit is, but considering it looks like a residential area, the flipped vehicle seems like they were probably going twice what the speed limit should be. We can't see it to the right of the Jeep driver, but there doesn't seem to be any day lighting at the corner on the left of the intersection where the Jeep came from, so it might have been impossible for the Jeep to see the speeding car until they entered the intersection.

Another Trumper full of regret.

"I liked his policies, mainly his support for education and affordable housing, said Shirley Wong, 70, of Bensonhurst, referring to Mamdani. "He seems to listen to us."

But less than a year ago, Wong cast her ballot for Trump. She cited the influx of migrants in her neighborhood, as well as the cost of living under President Joe Biden. But now, Wong said she regretted voting for Trump, citing the Big Beautiful Bill's projected cuts to Medicaid

TranscriptA post by Dr. Amy Psy.D. @dramypsyd@ohai.social saying: So I had to stop by Best Buy and the sales guy was going really hard trying to get me to sign up for the credit card. Like I said I didn’t want it and he was like “does YOUR card get you 15% off I don’t think so” and I was like buddy I know they make you push it but please stop and he was like actually they don’t, I just really like the Best Buy credit card. And then he wouldn’t tear my receipt off because he said the chemicals would take away his testosterone. Anyway this is why I shop online.
