      It was drained so some kind of even more loathsome ichor* can fill it.

      *In pathology, an ichor is an acrid, thin, and often foul-smelling watery or blood-tinged discharge that drains from an infected ulcer, sore, or wound. While its mythological meaning implies divine essence, the medical term derives from older ancient medical observations and is associated with inflammation and putrefaction. (Pulled from Google)

    Remember this the next time some right wing chowderhead starts ranting about Democrats and insider trading.

    Sure, Democrats totally do it, too. Democrats aren’t being pardoned for it by the same party that’s simultaneously acting like it’s a huge deal when Democrats do it, and also arguing that they need to be able to insider trade because they’re not paid enough to live comfortably and that it’s actually not a bad thing at all when they’re doing it.

      He’s just more open about his immorality. And like I’ve said before, the fact the current admin doesn’t even feel like they should waste resources in hypocrisy and somewhat believable narratives is an indictment on American society.

    But leave it to maga to exclaim pardoning non-violent marijuana users and the like by Biden as being the same issuing pardons and commutations like this, or for the likes of Steve fucking Bannon.

    The scale of corruption is orders of magnitude worse.

      Oh it’s not the same to them because they are racists. Only brown people go to jail for cannabis in the US.
