Trump just "pardoned" an Oregon(?) state election official, convicted on state charges of (?)election interference. It's symbolic, not I fully expect them to try to press that through officially.

It was Colorado, and it was purely symbolic. If his DOJ were to take this one to the Supreme Court, and SCOTUS rules in favor of the Trump Admin, then the US Constitution, which is currently only wounded (gravely), would be truly dead.

I hadn't heard of the Oregon one. He tried that with an election official in Colorado, too, though. Unsurprisingly, she's still in prison.

it seems to all the world that the trump admin can basically declare whatever the fuck they want and america will just go with it. He could tweet that everyone must send their children to the newly founded "Pedophile Enrichment Center" and A LOT of people would comply and do their best to make those around them comply.
