…was shocked when Jack Smith was left off the Biden pardon list.

Left off Biden’s list of pardons: Jack Smith

Biden did not issue preemptive pardons to prosecutors and judges whom Trump has rebuked.

01/20/2025 03:23 PM EST

Among the flurry of last-minute pardons issued by Joe Biden in the final moments of his presidency Monday, a group of names was conspicuously absent: prosecutors and judges who have sought to apply the law to Donald Trump.

Trump has frequently mused about seeking revenge on prosecutors like special counsel Jack Smith, who led the two federal criminal cases against Trump, and Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, who brought the New York hush money case that ended in Trump’s conviction. Trump has amplified calls for Smith to be thrown in prison and even said he should be “thrown out of the country.” Trump has similarly said “there is a case to be made” that Bragg should be “prosecuted.”

Neither was named by Biden on Monday as the recipient of a pardon, even as the outgoing president moved to protect other prominent officials who have sparked Trump’s ire …

Came here to post that too.

I’m surprised it took this long, but I guess they needed enough toadies to make it possible.

As the keeper of memory for the nation, it is our privilege and responsibility to tell accurate and complete histories. As has been recently reported, in July, a placard was removed from @amhistorymuseum’s exhibit “The American Presidency: A Glorious Burden.” The intent of the “Impeachment” section of the exhibit is to reflect all impeachment proceedings in our nation’s history.

The placard, which was meant to be a temporary addition to a 25-year-old exhibition, did not meet the museum’s standards in appearance, location, timeline, and overall presentation. It was not consistent with other sections in the exhibit and moreover blocked the view of the objects inside its case. For these reasons, we removed the placard. We were not asked by any Administration or other government official to remove content from the exhibit.

The section in question, “Impeachment,” will be updated in the coming weeks to reflect all impeachment proceedings in our nation’s history.

The regime’s focus on physical fitness seems to be a toxic stew of grift / quackery, controlling / policing people’s bodies, and providing a false sense of security / superiority:

When I listen to people who follow diet and fitness influencers, the thing that disturbs me the most is their attitudes about fitness being a guarantee of good health. Maybe it gives them the illusion of control to believe that if they just eat and do all the right things, they’ll never get old or sick. One downside is when they use that logic to shame and blame people with illnesses or medical conditions. The other is that is makes them an easy target for folks marketing fad diets or exercise routines/equipment, sketchy supplements, and other “woo” that will supposedly fix whatever they think is wrong with themselves.

In the '90s I met a doctor who gave lectures to groups about fitness and a healthy lifestyle. He was in great shape, ran marathons in his spare time, and died young because of cancer. I share his story with folks who prioritize following wellness gurus over getting regular checkups from a doctor. I also have family members who claim processed foods, HFCS, and lack of exercise are the reasons why so many people are overweight (so strict diet and exercise will prevent / eliminate that problem). In response, I show them photos of our ancestors who had farms, grew their own food, did a lot of physical labor on a daily basis, had no exposure to “evil” foods…and none of them were thin. :woman_shrugging:t5:

They want to believe there is a simple solution that works for everyone all the time, but refuse to acknowledge people are unique so it’s not always possible to predict or control how the body responds to change. I really hope they’ll recognize the danger in the health and fitness policies the regime is promoting.

For those not old enough to remember, let me introduce you to the late Jim Fixx:

Fixx wrote a best-selling book about running and, ironically, died of a heart attack at the age of 52 years while running. Fixx and the authors of other running books believed heart disease resulted from overcivilization and recommended running as a cure.
Fixx’s adherence to that philosophy offers an explanationfor his seemingly irrational behavior–running through chest pain and discomfort.

He really hates Mr. Biden. What did the old man do to him? I think the best way to irritate Him would be say Nice things about Mr. Biden around Him.
