“Charles Manson, never knew him. Bad guy, though, from what people are saying. It’s a tough situation.”

This sounds like the kind of thing Trump would have done to Obama.

It sounds like the kind of thing that half of American media and half of America’s congresspeople and senators would do to any Democratic candidate for anything.

These things happen. Lots of dead people were named Charles Manson, and you can’t always contact the right one during your seance.

Can’t argue with that.
Just so long as he doesn’t pardon vaccines…

There’s a difference between pardoning Charles Manson and being Charles Manson.

Williamson is basically the Liberal Trump. I’d never vote for her (she’d be dangerous in office), but I think she is adorably nutty.

I like Williamson for saying a bunch of stuff about love and compassion, but I always having this sinking suspicion that it may be grift. I mean, Williamson is a self-help author propelled to fame by friendship with Oprah, that ought to put our antenna up.
But then maybe my agreement with Williamson is another way that Williamson resembles Trump. Trump had three big lines I agreed with (or agreed with the sentiment of) during the campaign. I’m a sucker for people who want to upend things.

I don’t see any problem with this. Just like Hillary’s pedophile ring and Obama’s (God-knows-what) - dems might as well have ridiculous bullshit of their own.

I thought she was just taking a page from Trump’s book, where it doesn’t matter what the truth is, it just matters that the other side looks bad.

Except that flipping the script on bad actors in hopes of giving them pause for self-reflection may have worked at some point in American politics. But not since I’ve been following them.

Ah, the same liberal stable genius who thanked people for making Hurricane Dorian turn away from land by using the power of creative visualization.

Can you prove they didn’t?

No, and that’s why Marianne Williamson is extraordinarily wealthy.

I feel like this should be a skit on Jimmy Fallon where he pardons stuff, a la thank you notes.
