It’s sad to hear people like Jacob Chansley, the face-painted, horn-wearing “QAnon Shaman” who played a colorful part in the Jan. 6 riot in Washington, complain that Donald Trump misled him and then failed to pardon him.
Con artists don’t care about people like Jacob; they can’t afford to feel badly for using and discarding them because it would stand in the way of getting power and money, and those are the only things they care about. Jacob and his fellow deluded insurrectionists are a dime a dozen.
On the other hand, Roger (“Dirty Tricks”) Stone got a pardon because he has special skills that will be valuable to Trump in the future. People who still support Trump need to wake up and accept the truth — they were fed a pack of lies.
And members of Congress, from both parties, need to stand united, proclaim the truth, and hold Trump accountable. Otherwise, he will continue his con game from his gilded palace in Florida and the victims of his crimes, the American people, will never recover.
