Every day is a new fucking nightmare from this asshole. I’ve never hated anyone so much.

mcstubbins · July 10, 2018, 2:46pm

So we’re entering the ‘pardons to pwn the libs!’ stage, are we? Or were we already there… I dunno. Fuck this shit.

So, now he’s pardoning white posse comitatus-types who committed arson against the federal government.

Donnie’s way of giving yet another big F-you to the FBI and the Justice Department.

Gotta mollify the far right for whom Kavanaugh is not far right enough.

Let’s pardon the most ridiculous because The Most Ridiculous needs a pardon.

dannysgrandma · July 10, 2018, 2:49pm

Pardons to distract AltR attention from? Flynn? Mueller? Something’s on the horizon.

gop_traitors · July 10, 2018, 2:49pm

Traitors. All of them. From every buck toothed right wing hick to that orange bastard and his scum family. Parasites everywhere…

The Trump administration is like an Advent Calendar of Assholery, 1461 days long.

spacesaver · July 10, 2018, 2:50pm

Pretty soon he’ll be pardoning Oswald. Oh, and Booth. Because white men.

To state the obvious, the rule of law is undergoing a serious stress test in this country. I don’t know what to say to the idea that you can make up your own rules and/or pick and choose which laws you want to obey. That’s what 45 is telling these guys, the Malheur a-holes and everyone else with a grievance…

bentobox · July 10, 2018, 2:50pm

He’s just honoring their shared Grifter’s Code.

But yeah, distraction.

tigersharktoo · July 10, 2018, 2:51pm

Oh fork. Law and Order President?

nemo · July 10, 2018, 2:51pm

Essentially we’re seeing pardons being used systematically to grant immunity to crimes committed in the name of extremist rightism. Arpaio, Libby, now these dudes. Next up, Manafort.

carolson · July 10, 2018, 2:51pm

Don’t forget James Earl Ray. And the GOP stays mute. There are just no more words to describe this …

spacesaver · July 10, 2018, 2:52pm

Don’t forget D’Souza!

austin_dave · July 10, 2018, 2:53pm

I remember when people warned PBO not to use executive power to do so much (though he really had no choice) because the next opposing president would push the use of executive power even further.

Is anyone warning Trump that when this is over, and Dems are in power, all the “reforms” he’s made to national norms are going to bite the GOP on the ass?

Or is transition never going to come to pass?

nemo · July 10, 2018, 2:54pm

Oh fuck I did forget. He’s such a forgettable piece of crap.

sysprog · July 10, 2018, 2:54pm

Holy sht. That stupid mofo has just made it LEGAL for aggrieved whiners to disobey federal laws, take over federal buildings with guns and threatened anyone that tries to make them follow the law. That bumbling fk.

lestat · July 10, 2018, 2:54pm

If Trump keeps this up, there isn’t going to be much left of this country to save.
