    Marc Rich -- in addition to be a tax evader & epic fraudster -- was also a major union busters. The labor movement was enormously enraged by his pardon. It's a telling example of partisan brain poisoning that history is being rewritten it erase this fact.https://twitter.com/itsJeffTiedrich/status/1342875055768952834 …

    your reminder that Bill Clinton issued exactly ONE sleazy pardon and the entire wingnut outrage-industrial complex lost their fucking minds, and twenty years later they still won't shut the fuck up about it

        Trump's pardons are awful in unique ways and worse than what's come before. But let's not erase the bad partisan & corrupt pardons of Ford, Reagan, the Bushes and Clinton.

        It's untrue to say that only wing-nuts were mad, which is strongly implied in the original tweet.

        To that guy, the Democratic Party is like a baseball team. Something to root for. Nothing else. These people are going to get increasingly demented over the next four years.

        "you guys, Clinton only issued *one* corrupt pardon" is not a winning argument

        Funny that both before and after the Marc Rich disgrace, Trump was a Clinton supporter.

        Makes tons of sense. Trump was a big Clinton supporter when he got out of office. Made sure he was accepted as a member at Trump golf clubs. Trump attended Clinton charity events, Clinton went to Trump's wedding. So it goes, sleeze with sleeze.
