Trump's Transition Team Criticized for Refusing to Disclose Donors

[@richtifilmpalast5373]

"Well.. he didn't exactly pardoned them, but just turned the investigation over to Merrick Garland and then just kinda petered out," God damned, that was such a brutal burn a yet so freakin' funny. Kudos to whomever wrote that one. And I'm glad the "Late Night" team still dishes out these kind of cynical jokes. Well needed in these times.. and in this case also well deserved I might add!

[@LoriKasprzak-kc7xc]

Biden is authorized to disclose Trump donors. Get on it, Joe!

[@patrickkelley6698]

Was a great joke and also a not so funny truth on doj dragging feet on trump prosecutions .....but yes thank u to whomever wrote that gem.🎉

[@seanspartan2023]

Bold of them to assume Trump won't run again, as if election law means anything in this country. Good luck with that!

[@vvohvaelez9277]

Luckily its the 22nd amendment that prevents that. GOP doesnt have enough % of congress to make that constitutional change

[@joachimschoder]

@@vvohvaelez9277 Luckily Trump was disqualified to run in 2024 by the 14th amendment. After all imagine the damage he could have done. The partisan hacks of the Supreme Court can, have and will ignore the constitution whenever it helps Conservatives to gain more power. With Republicans in power there is no rule of law.

[@seanspartan2023]

@vvohvaelez9277 I'm well aware of the law. But the law more and more is becoming meaningless. Trump will do everything he can to hold onto power and SCOTUS has given him a free pass to break the law. America as we knew it, is over. It was one hellova ride though.

Truth, he really needs to. I wouldn't have even cared if he'd done it years ago, TBH. That norm has already been shattered, so he might as well take advantage of it.

[@jnielsen90]

Biden won't pardon Hunter, he has respect for American law and it's decisions.
