Even after 10 years of Trump, seeing him pardon someone with the explanation that he did it because he's a republican, is still a bucket of cold water to the face.
I know nothing about Richard Blumenthal's Vietnam deal. So I googled it and, as crazy as this sounds, I think Trump is lying.
Also I lived long enough to see a president say "I'm pardoning a criminal because he's a republican". So that's cool.
Once he had possession of them, he could have done anything with them. Bathroom, bedroom, pool house, inside the refrigerator, made copies and sold them off, etc. I don't think it matters at that point in what room in Mar a Lago he had them stored that particular day.
In a real society, stuff like that and oh you know everything else, would have republicans' approval ratings near zero and it would be impossible to run for office as a republican and win. The word would be beyond toxic by now. Akin to nazis. But, you know.
My daughter no pics ended up becoming friends with him, as well as the Gus Fring (IRL) family. I've told the story before of standing in Esposito's living room, talking to him in front of a framed picture of his Two Face scene. That was bizarre.
I feel like everyone puts too much emphasis on where he kept the stolen documents. He stole them on his way out the door, lied about having them, refused to give them back, had his lawyers sign off that he had returned everything (he hadn't, not anywhere close), etc. Flooded the pool room with the cameras, etc. This all happened over the course of multiple years.
Not a huge deal but I feel like this became "Trump kept the documents in his bathroom, but hey both sides, Biden kept his in his garage". Which is like comparing Jeffrey Dahmer to someone with a parking ticket.
Terry actually has an opportunity here. Baxter's out because Baxter, Gibson is gone, Stewart is wherever, and Simon and Clark may eventually have something but they don't need to be playing right now. That's, um, everyone after Wisner (yeah yeah, Niblett. But if he's getting anything more than the occasional gadget touch then that's bad news jeans).
So yeah, if Terry has a pulse at the position he could end up actually playing real snaps this season.
I still want to know what the hell was happening in practice that made our coaches go "You know, I think Connor Stroh needs to be on the field. Like all the time. Beginning with the first snap of the season at Ohio State."
That was my feel too. Think it was Gerry H who said that Stewart has yet to attend a Texas football game with his uniform on. Maybe this "emergency" dates back to August, I don't know.
I left out that they also said he's been in concussion protocol "for a few weeks". Seems strange that he wasn't ever listed on the weekly injury report, and still isn't, but I admittedly don't know the rules on who has to go on there.
