I wake up, and the sinking feeling hits me again.
He is still president.
It's hard to leave behind the pleasant dream I was having.
It's hard to face another day of smirking and lying and unjust actions in the White House.
I turn on the morning news.
Kim Kardashian's request for a pardon for a grandmother is being ignored.
"Alice Marie Johnson, a grandmother now in her early 60s, is more than two decades into a life sentence for a first-time conviction based on her role in a drug-trafficking case," says NBC.
Instead, a money launderer will be pardoned.
Enter Dinesh D'Souza, sentenced in 2014 to five years probation for using straw donors to contribute to the Senate campaign of Wendy E. Long, who lost to Kirstin Gillibllrand in 2012.
dt tweets this morning that he will pardon D'Souza. Poor guy won't have to languish on probation for another half year.
Message to Michael Cohen: Don't worry.
Message to people serving long sentences for drug offenses: screw you.
Meanwhile, the stock market is falling as our allies increase tariffs on things we import.
Another excruciating day in the 45th presidency.
Depressing.
Update: The president commuted the sentence of Alice Marie Johnson on June 6, 2018, and she was reunited with her family, including younger ones she had never met. https://www.nytimes.com/2018/06/06/us/politics/trump-alice-johnson-sentence-commuted-kim-kardashian-west.html
