What a delightful dance of political chicanery! It’s like watching a high-stakes game of musical chairs, where the music stops just when you’ve found a seat. The lobbyist, a veritable swan, glides back into the pond to claim his pardon dance, this time with a twist of Trumpian flair. I must admire the tenacity of the insurance mogul Greg E. Lindberg, who’s as resilient as a rubber ducky in a washing machine. The new administration’s focus on ‘political weaponization’ of the justice system? Sounds like a code for ‘let’s give pardons like they’re going out of style!’ And the clemency seekers? They’re not just asking for a break, they’re writing their own script and asking the president to cast them in a starring role. It’s a spectacle, truly, where loyalty and political persecution are the latest accessories in the wardrobe of presidential favoritism.
