I donā€™t know about any pardons, but I hear that Booth is being recognized more and more, and is also doing very, very well. Weā€™re all hoping heā€™ll pull through his recent bout of dysentery.

I guess they think Trump can create a new Freikorps out of these stone cold killersā€“you know the groups of ex soldiers that rode through Germany after WWI, killing ā€œredsā€? See Klaus Theweleit, MƤnner Phantasieren.

Soā€¦just to make clearā€¦what Trump is hooting about is the threat of burying Muslims with pigsā€¦yeahā€¦as in ā€œhahahaha, your religion doesnā€™t let you eat pork so weā€™re going to desecrate your corpse with it to prevent you from getting to heaven.ā€ Trumpā€™s already been caught lying about this guy anyway, saying he executed Muslims in the Phillipines. He didnā€™t.

Yeah.

Religious evangelicals are clearly in the drivers seat in this administration.

Speaking if UCMJ has any news organization had their reporter dogging Sen. Grahamā€™s heels over this?

Stated more clearly, our Commander-in-Chief countenances war crimes, and as we see on our Southern Border every day, he also orders crimes against humanity.

killing a Terrorist bomb maker while overseas.

They are not human beings, they are ā€œSand Ni(CLANG!)sā€ and thus not ā€œentitledā€ to the same treatment as White, Christian Prisoners of War.

That is their attitude, and it gets US soldiers killed.

Trump will OF COURSE Pardon these Murderers because his Trumpanzies will hoot and fling their shit, and eat it up.

Remember: EVERYTHING TRUMP DOES is to shore up his ā€œBaseā€ of racists, misogynists, and Evangelical Dominionists and they see ā€œThe Otherā€ as not worthy of treatment under the Geneva Convention, or even Uniform Military Law.

You know, just like the Nazis talked and treated anyone who was not a Pure Aryan.

What is the point of Trump having cabinet members if he takes advice from everyone but them.

I don watch Fox. Who is this guy?

But Keith Olbermann donated money to Dem candidates!

@eglot beat me to it. And I was congratulating myself that no one else would remember the obscure 9-year old event. This board, I swear.

No other is more highly qualified than to decide who is or who is not a U.S. military hero than Trumpet mouth.

Traditionally the Justice Dept. asked the president to issue pardons. What moronā€™s doing is just the reverse.

Perhaps heā€™ll pardon Henry Wirz. Thatā€™ll give the base in old Dixie some owning-the-libs giggles.

Word on the street was that Tom Brokaw and Chris Matthews lobbied hard against Kieth. Gave me one more reason to despise those two insufferable gits.

And this, Pete and Bernie, IS WHY YOU DONā€™T GO ON FUCKING FOX!

Even war criminals of yore think heā€™s gone too far.

He does not care. He referred to a murderer as a hero -Golsteyn. Gallagher -who his fellow Seals referred to as a mass murderer-was moved to more comfortable digs and will likely be granted a pardon before his trial. It is an abuse of the presidential pardon. It is disgusting and has Trump is fond of saying a disgrace.
