There is breaking news of secret pardons issued by President Obama on his last day in office for all crimes, past and present, committed by Malia and Sasha Obama. At least top Democratic donors had the decency to pay bribes for their pardons, but Obama’s daughters were given to them without any remuneration. This information was not previously released because the media was too busy covering Obama’s efforts to thwart election law and intimidate Democratic state officials to disregard election laws and the Constitution and anoint him as the chosen one until his death.
Obama supporters as well as Democratic senators and representatives were silent as Obama’s lawyers advocated for election officials to be shot. They ignored the threats of physical harm and death to government employees and their family members. Who cares if election officials and their family are killed or harmed if Obama is allowed to remain in office even though he did not win the 2016 election.
Before you Trumpsters get your undies in a bunch, I’ll correct the facts. It is Trump who is asking about pardoning his children. It is Trump and his cronies who are being investigated about bribes for pardons. It is Republican election officials who are receiving threats because Trump did not win the 2020 election. And the members of Trump’s cult are ok with any level of fraud, any level of cheating, any actual violence, or even murder if their grifter remains in office.

The three cowards who represent North Dakota in Washington, D.C., have said nothing about Trump’s escalation of the violence, which is going to result in someone being murdered unless law enforcement is made aware of the threat before it is carried out.
These three ran for a position of national leadership and were elected to serve in that position. It’s time for them to pry their lips from Trump’s ginormous posterior and show some leadership. They owe those who are being threatened a condemnation of the threats. When they remain silent, they are complicit. When they are complicit, the blood that is shed is on their hands.

It appears at this time, they aren’t willing to defend Trump’s actions but are too afraid to speak up. Last month. I contacted all three of our Trump toadies about President-elect Biden being denied access to presidential daily briefings. The 9/11 commission found that the delay in President Bush receiving the PDB put us more at risk for 9/11. Delaying Biden access to the PDB is a treat to national security.
Hoeven’s office replied that Trump had the right to request a recount, which was not even the issue I raised. The other two didn’t give me the courtesy of a reply. Rep. Armstrong’s office doesn’t even send a bounce back “thank you for contacting my office” email. They don’t even pretend to represent their constituents and instead do Trump’s bidding. They don’t belong on government payroll, they belong on Trump’s payroll.
