Then why don't Soros and some other billionaires pay Trump to be more leftist?

If he is this easy to buy, it would make far more sense to go this route than spend millions on promoting candidates who lose to him and candidates he endorses, to the street communists who commit and provoke violence. What, bribing him to "do good" would violate some principle you guys hold (chuckling)?

So no comment on Trump’s corrupt bought and paid for pardons?

From the article:

In late 2024, while Mr. Herrera was facing felony bribery and other charges in the case, his daughter, Isabela Herrera, donated $2.5 million to MAGA Inc., a super PAC devoted to Mr. Trump and run by his allies.

In May, her father’s lawyer, Christopher M. Kise, who had served on Mr. Trump’s legal defense team, negotiated an unusually lenient deal with the Justice Department. Under the deal, which was authorized by a top Trump appointee, Mr. Herrera agreed to plead guilty to a misdemeanor campaign finance charge, disappointing career prosecutors who had pushed for a harsher sentence.

In July, Ms. Herrera donated another $1 million to MAGA Inc. She did not respond to a request for comment.

Mr. Trump this week pardoned Mr. Herrera, Ms. Vázquez and Mark Rossini, a former F.B.I. agent who had worked as a consultant for Mr. Herrera. All three had pleaded guilty in August to misdemeanor campaign finance charges.

In other words, you can't answer because your premise is false, and you didn't think of that.

Why can’t you and MAS acknowledge the simple truth that Trump is corrupt?

My guess it is because Trump’s corrupt regime says something about you as a voter, and as a person.

I don’t remember you acknowledging the Biden administration corruption. Lead by example.

masquerading as morality.

For the record, I hate pardons like this. In fact, I would probably support eliminating the power to pardon. For every Dubya, who used it judiciously, you have a Clinton, Biden, and Trump, who do not.

At what point do the pardons become future immunity from prosecution?
