Blackjack Hardy: [Chairman of the Board] Let’s put it to a vote [his gang on the board all raise their hands, and then Maverick does]
Doc Holiday: [To Maverick] You’re voting to rob your own bank?
Bart Maverick:I’ve had enough respectability to last me a lifetime Doc. [clears throat speaking to the Blackjack Hardy gang now on the Bank board] Gentleman we have about $40,000 in the safe now, in two weeks we could double it, in a month we could if this craze holds out we could triple it but There is just one thing that could stop us.
Blackjack Hardy:We’re listening.
Bart Maverick: If ah, anyone finds out that YOU [indicating blackjack] have anything to do with managing the bank I’m afraid I could never stop another run on it.
Blackjack Hardy:I’ll kill the first dirty varmint that opens his big yap!
Bart Maverick:Then you promise to stay in the background and let me run the bank? You want to vote on it?
Blackjack Hardy: [Indicating the rest of his gang on the board] They vote yes.
Bart Maverick:Ah, well in that case I’ll call a small temporary dividend let’s say $10,000 just enough to cover a small celebration party.
Little Sonny Hardy: Ten Thousand is a rather large dividend for a party isn’t it Mr. Maverick?
Bart Maverick: I’m just trying to show my good faith.
Blackjack Hardy:Ah the meeting is sojourned, [Sonny Clears his throat] Ah it’s finished it’s over gimme that bag [with the $10k in it]. You know banking is a thirsty business. [To the gang] C’mon Let’s go.
Maverick: A Technical Error 1961
Let’s start with some basic facts out of the way first.
Joe Biden, is corrupt pol, who has gotten rich off the government. He has milked his position all his life. He has stolen a national election to become President [with the quiet cooperation of those who could have stopped him but hated Donald Trump more than they loved their duty]. After the election he has used the office to enrich his allies and himself while persecuting his political enemies including grandmothers praying at Clinics and parents complaining at school board meetings and sent his justice department after faithful Catholics (which he claims to be) to be investigated as terrorists while allowing rampant lawlessness all over the country,
So let me get this straight, I’m supposed to get all excited and outraged and shocked when the guy I just described decides in the final days of this time in office, when he’s practically at death’s door, to issue a pardon to his son who has used his Father’s positions in government as Vice President and then President to shake down foreign business and to get people to “buy” his paintings” all the while kicking back the 10% to “the big guy”?
Seriously?
Now if he was an honest and honorable pol, who had given his life to the service of his country I could just be a little surprised if he had pardoned his corrupt son in his last days of office citing it as the only favor he asks of the land that he had served faithfully for half a century.
But this crook? Why on earth would I or anyone else be surprised at this corrupt lying bastard acting as a corrupt lying bastard. In terms of harm to the office and the country this is likely one of the mildest things he has done.
The only surprise I have is that he didn’t pardon himself as well.
Update: You know I’d bet real money that there are plenty of people in the Biden Administration complicit in crimes that might have hoped to be part of a blanket pardon issued by the president before Trump takes office on the grounds of preventing said administration to practicing “lawfare” against them. The media would have fully backed something like this.
Alas I suspect that such a pardon will not happen not because in Joe Biden eyes they are guilty of a much greater crime, complicity in forcing him off the Democrat ticket.
