This is the email he sent to the DOJ after consulting with his public defender:
To whom it may concern,
I’d like to reject my pardon please.
Sincerely,

Resettling Palestinians elsewhere seems like a straightforward solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Honestly baffling no one else thought of this given how many decades this thing has been happening.

That hasn’t been my experience reading his columns, you got some examples of this?
So his Substack is basically “Paul Krugman Unleashed” which it turns out is pretty glorious. Example: his “Health Insurance is a Racket” post starts off with a bit of Saint Luigi art.
Surely if we buy Greenland we get their eggs
Clemency just gets you out of jail. A pardon wipes the slate clean.

Oh I should have been more clear: Trump’s supporters delight in cruelty towards others. You’re right that Trump just does whatever makes his supporters cheer for him; he’s a textbook narcissist who craves attention. “Build the wall” for example, was a talking point his advisers gave him. He apparently thought it was stupid, but when his crowds of supporters cheered for it he went on to make it central to his campaign and identity.
My interpretation is you’re both saying the same thing. In regards to what the other person wrote: during Trump’s first term, often people in his administration were worried that something he asked/ordered them to do was against the law. So they’d try to find a legal way to accomplish some part of his request, or just slow walk the order and never really do it. Trump was notorious for having very little follow through on making sure things actually got done. Now trump’s people will do what he asks without worrying about the legality.
Fascists need an “other” to demonize. They delight in the cruelty towards the “other”. The executive order gives them a sense of accomplishment, further strengthening the group bonds as they enjoy the suffering of the “other” together.
It really is as simple as “the cruelty is the point”. It helps them because they desire to inflict cruelty, and this gives them a method for doing so.
The stand, just because it’s a much bigger scale novel with lots of interesting characters, world building, and a lot of story.
The dead zone is one I probably won’t reread. But it’s definitely worth it once, like most of King’s work. And the fact that it has uncomfortable parallels to Trump and the MAGA movement adds another element.
Apparently an autograph album is “is a book for collecting the autographs of others. Traditionally they were exchanged among friends, colleagues, and classmates to fill with poems, drawings, personal messages, small pieces of verse, and other mementos.”
They were popular among university students from the 15th to mid-19th century, but have since been replaced by yearbooks.
Everett’s methods may violate the Hippocratic Oath, but they sure are effective.
Just hold this pose for a while until the cement sets good!
Ever the artist, Mr. True branches out into mixed media (cement and fool face).
Get up out of that so I can take one more punch at you!
Sadly, Everett would need to wait for the Fair Housing Act of 1968 for this landlord’s behavior to be federally illegal. It’s unclear what state Mr. True lives in (besides anger, obviously).
“There’s no hope of my beating any sense into you, but I’ll knock some of the ignorance out of you!”

Sometimes Everett’s angry chastising gets downright poetic. Here he throws out a one-liner worthy of an 80’s action movie, all because of a messy banana eater.
