How many times would you guess the WH spin doctors have had to walk back something Dotard said?

Talk about walking back something, the goal posts have been moved by you.

President Donald Trump has told people around him that he will “pardon everyone who has come within 200 feet of the Oval Office” before his term is up, according to The Wall Street Journal.

Trump apparently brings up the subject of pardons when staffers raise fears of being prosecuted for actions taken on the job, particularly if Republicans lose control of the House in November and Democrats gain subpoena powers.

The Journal noted that Trump often appears to reference pardons in jest, although he is also “known to joke about matters that he later seriously pursues.”

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt attempted to play both cards at once, telling the outlet that it “should learn to take a joke” but also that “the President’s pardon power is absolute.”

What the heck is going on with the Strait?

Video shows ships turning away from the Strait of Hormuz as confusion persists over whether sea lane is really open​

Oil tankers are remaining cautious about sailing through the Strait of Hormuz after Iran declared Friday that the sea lane is open to commercial ships, video footage shows.

Oil futures contracts tumbled Friday as the market interpreted the announcement from Tehran as a major breakthrough that will ease the massive disruption to global energy supplies. The U.S. benchmark, West Texas Intermediate crude settled down 12% Friday at $83.85 per barrel, while Brent crude futures finished the day down 9%.

But statements from Iranian officials and President Donald Trump have caused confusion about whether the strait is really open or not.

Iran’s Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi initially said the strait was “completely open” for the remainder of the ceasefire with the U.S. and Israel. But Iranian media aligned with the Revolutionary Guard issued conditions for safe passage that resemble the rules which Tehran has imposed for weeks now.
