He’s always got to have some thing of value to hold hostage and threaten the public with.
This is today’s “will he or won’t he” do despicable action X.
Could have announced in Phoenix but didn’t have the courage. What a loser.
I don’t think this is going to work out like Hair Furor thinks it will.
So what else is new?
President Pence will probably have somebody on his staff draw up some papers to pardon former President Trump before the jail sentence begins.
Always
"You’ll find out "
or “I be making a major announcement shortly”
Yup
Tune in for the next episode of "The Incompetent Ass Hole " does Idiocracy
At this point, it’s red meat he can offer The Deplorables so they don’t defect. It won’t gain him any new supporters, but at this point he’s trying to stop the bleeding. I think his threat to shut down the government is a bigger issue to worry about.
CNN reports? For once, I wish it really was #Fakenews.
Grotesque! He who thinks he is above the law gets to singularly decide the fate of Arpaio? Grotesque!
I’d move this along, If I were (current) President Trump.
Then he’ll have another person on his staff, possibly an intern, misplace those papers. Oh, and accidentally delete the computer file.
This is the real pivot: now that Trump thoroughly destroyed any chance of the Republican Party of getting more than a tiny fraction of the African American vote in the next several election cycles, he’s turned his attention to obliterating any hopes for success with GOP outreach to Hispanic/Latino Americans.
Donnie Two Scoops probably also has a whole signed stack of pardons prepared for family and friends, plus one for himself already signed by Mikey.
Just in case.
Alternate Headline:
Trump Prepares To Tell Nation Race-Based Detainment And Torture, Ignoring Judges, Is Okay, Will Pardon Anyone Convicted For It
Just had to note how out of character organized and longer term strategic this sounded. And it is probably true.
I like the idea that there is a dacha and a Russian plane on standby…
If he pardons Sheriff Asshole the shitstorm will be epic. That’s a gigantic insult to both the judiciary and the entire Latino community. It will also show such disrespect for law that it will bring impeachment closer.
Talk about white privilege. Joe Arpaio didn’t even wait for the people of color in his custody to be found guilty of anything before he started abusing them. But the white man walks away scot free.
I have no words.
So, Kelly is okay with it. He might not personally. But it’s officially that matters.
A tree is its fruit. Trump does rotten things, regardless of what he says or rather reads.
But no one is talking about the Russians now…
