What is the sound of one hand wanking?

Not really a surprise, given that for reactionary centrists “both sides” is more irresistible than high-grade cocaine backstage at a Led Zeppelin show at the LA Forum, where the Lakers did their thing until they moved into the Staples Center, now the Crypto.com Arena (this stupid country):
Sen. John Fetterman (D-Pa.) called for President-elect Trump to be pardoned in his New York hush money case in the senator’s first Truth Social post, which he sent Tuesday.
“The Trump hush money and Hunter Biden cases were both bulls‑‑‑, and pardons are appropriate,” Fetterman said in his post. “Weaponizing the judiciary for blatant, partisan gain diminishes the collective faith in our institutions and sows further division.” . . .
“I think that it’s undeniable that the case against Hunter Biden was really politically motivated, but I also think it’s true that the trial in New York for Trump was political as well, too,” Fetterman said.
“In both cases, I think a pardon is appropriate and I really think, collectively, that America’s confidence in these types of institutions have been damaged by these kinds of cases, and we cannot allow these types of institutions to be weaponized against our political opponents,” he added.
In case you were wondering what Dean Phillips was thinking about this same topic (I’m assuming Dean’s mom may be an LGM lurker):
“Donald Trump is a serial liar, cheater, and philanderer, a six-time declarer of corporate bankruptcy, an instigator of insurrection, and a convicted felon who thrives on portraying himself as a victim,” Phillips wrote at the time in a post on the social platform X. “@GovKathyHochul should pardon him for the good of the country.”
The sheer incoherence of this non-sequitur achieves a kind of Zen-like purity.
