[quote]WASHINGTON — President Trump on Friday pardoned Joe Arpaio, the former Arizona sheriff whose aggressive efforts to hunt down and detain undocumented immigrants made him a national symbol of the divisive politics of immigration and earned him a criminal contempt conviction.
In a two-paragraph statement, the White House said that with Mr. Arpaio’s years of “admirable service to our nation, he is worthy candidate for a presidential pardon.”
Mr. Trump, who made cracking down on illegal immigration a signature campaign issue and had pressed for local officials to do more to assist federal authorities in rounding up undocumented people, had been openly flirting with the idea of pardoning Mr. Arpaio.[/quote]

Just as the hurricane hits and dominates the news coverage.
With the Joe Arpaio pardon and the Military's Transgender ban happening today, I sure hope he isn't just using Hurricane Harvey to his benefit to displace focus from these two new developments.
On a more on-topic note, this is a blatant misuse of pardons and it's a shame that some people will cheer this on.
Fucking disgusting
White supremacists gotta watch out for each other.
Disgusting.
the president has pardoned a man who was convicted of violating the constituion and is parading it as "upholding rule of law"
Not surprised. Not shocked.
Just fucking disgusted.
More of this to come I'm sure.
Trump has now set the bar on what he will pardon. So pretty much he will pardon anyone that aligns with his views no matter what the crime actually was.

in the past few weeks, trump has openly endorsed white supremacist violence over the law on multiple occasions, things are going to get extremely bad very soon because he's pretty muched opened the floodgates

I think that's literally exactly what he's doing. I can't see any real reason why he'd wait until now to do it. Waiting for the right moment to pull all his dumb shit is what he does every fuckin' time.
Yeah, not helping him self just coming off charlottesville
Muellers investigation making consistent headway combined with poll after poll showing his base eroding means that Trump could be getting desperate to shore up his most die-hard supporters. Still, to describe [URL="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joe_Arpaio#Controversies"]this mans service[/URL] as "admirable" is nothing short of appalling.
Using a hurricane that's going devastate Texas and possibly kill people as cover to pardon a racist torturer from prison and ban transgender people from service.
Fucking classy, Trump.
Better reinforce that white supremacist bridge, Trump. You've burned all the others.
BOOOOOOOO
God this is fucking scary
"This'll definitely help my approval ratings!"
Fucking moron. I'm going to laugh my ass off when he gets impeached.
Is it time for the revolution, yet?
Disgusting. Both of them need to be locked up.
If it looks like a white supremicist, sounds like a white supremicist, acts like a white supremicist, and stands up for a white supremicist.
What is it?

Why, a man doing a great service for his country - at least, in Trump's America.

Trump's favorite demographic of people who voted for him :godzing:

A week after Trump is criticized for his weak response to literal Nazis marching through Charlottesville Virginia, he uses his first pardon to excuse a man who bragged about running a concentration camp for illegal immigrants.
:thinking: :thinking: :thinking:
The absolute madman actually did it
Found from another news story discussing this topic:
[QUOTE]The office began preparing pardon documents earlier this week, according to reports. [B]In the past, Arpaio has credited InfoWars’ Alex Jones for being able to reach Trump and convince him of the pardon.[/B][/QUOTE]

The political and ideological problems in the US that's been contained by the internet and slowed down by the status quo. Is slowly fracturing to a possible escalating clash of difference.
Are the Republicans gonna grow balls and kick him out for being a huge piece of shit or are we really gonna have to let the clock run out on the Russia investigation.

What do you mean 'grow balls'? The republicans don't do shit because they don't give a fuck. They'd let Trump run over kindergarten class with a steamroller if they didn't think it'd put their fucking seats in jeopardy.
Anyone with two fucking brain cells to rub together could see this coming. I can't wait for all the trumpet fuckstains who complain about unlawful protests to come out in defense of this undermining of the fucking constitution.
What a great precedent to set, that you can unlawfully detain and interrogate people you suspect of being undocumented immigrants without due process, or even while on active duty. Im sure this will go swimmingly, he'll get the crazy immigrant witch hunt he wants.

No one is going to defend this, no one is going to defend the transgender ban. The excuse will be because FP is an alt-left echo chamber.
