• Trump Pardons Sheriff Joe Arpaio
    176 replies, posted
My biggest fear from this is you can now majorly break the law. And Trump will pardon you as long as he likes you. Who wants to bet that Trump is going to try and get people to break the constitution to get what he wants while he gives them the protection of a pardon?
[QUOTE=BlindSniper17;52613833]Found from another news story discussing this topic: :scream: :scream: :scream: :scream: :scream:[/QUOTE] time for those people who look at alex jones as a harmless weirdo comedian to see how much of a bastard he really is
[QUOTE=Pascall;52613738]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.[/QUOTE] Trump LIVES in media. He's been an object of admiration and ridicule before he even considered running, and he's no doubt paid attention to what the media swarms to when it comes to coverage. Perhaps the worm is somewhat more clever than we originally thought. No, not 4D chess, just an exploitative sleaze ball.
[QUOTE=Raidyr;52613893]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.[/QUOTE] Don't worry, I'm sure they'll come up with a ton of fucking retarded excuses to swap with each other in their hugbox discords. Maybe if we ask nicely they'll share them with us. But that's wishful thinking, the most we'll probably get is one or two people dropping in to say something like "liberals getting mislead by the lamestream media again, huh? hehe . . ." so that they can brag on r/daddytrumpgivemeyourcummies about how they totally owned the snowflakes and libcucks.
Sarah Huckabee-Sanders (Trump Press Secretary) said just yesterday that plans to pardon Joe Arpaio would take place at an "[URL="https://www.newsmax.com/Newsfront/sheriff-pardon-joe-arpaio-sarah-huckabee-sanders/2017/08/23/id/809431/"]appropriate time[/URL]" [QUOTE]President Donald Trump – who has already hinted he is ready to pardon controversial ex-Sheriff Joe Arpaio – will do so "at the appropriate time," according to his press secretary. "I think that he'll continue to make his plans clear when he's ready and at the appropriate time, and we'll certainly keep you guys posted on that," Sarah Huckabee Sanders said aboard Air Force One, The Hill reported.[/QUOTE] I guess 8pm on a Friday before one of the biggest hurricanes in years hits Texas is an appropriate time :huh:
what a fucking shitshow, i hope he eats this.
How can anyone possibly have faith in justice and the rule of law when we have a leader like this?
[QUOTE=Raidyr;52613893]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.[/QUOTE] Kinda funny how they never seemed to worry about being dogpiled when it's just some low hanging fruit thread about minor gaffes.
[QUOTE=Raidyr;52613760]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.[/QUOTE] Seems like every time the Mueller investigation moves forward, Trump does something. The transgender ban aligned with the revelation of Manafort's home being raided by FBI in the early morning, and now news is coming out that Mueller has issued subpoenas for witness testimony from PR firms that helped Manafort during the Trump campaign. For a nonsense investigation, Trump sure seems eager to distract from it..
how convenient he does this during a hurricane
[QUOTE=Xubs;52613941]I'm sure the Republicans are already writing their strongly-worded letters of condemnation against the President.

[QUOTE=Mr. Scorpio;52613978]Stupid voters.[/QUOTE]not to mention the disgusting personality cult trump has attracted since the start of the 2016 election i have heard all sorts of drivel and garbage from the alt-right that sounds like its out of a dystopian propaganda machine

He's 85. Time will take him soon. Good fucking riddance.

[QUOTE=BlindSniper17;52613709]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.[/QUOTE] [QUOTE=Pascall;52613738]I think that's literally exactly what he's doing.

[QUOTE=J!NX;52614031]And that can be traced back to shit education[/QUOTE] Ironically, the internet maybe exasperated the situation even when it reduces naivety, ignorance, and stupidity.
[QUOTE=01271;52614042]No he's doing this when he said he would at the rally, he was waiting for the charlottesville outrage to die down so he wouldn't reach critical anger mass.[/QUOTE]He should just do it anyway so people get pissed off enough that we can impeach the fucker. He's gonna slip up sometime, and he already pisses enough off when he does stupid shit. And no, I don't mean violent impeachment. Just to the point where the government gets completely overwhelmed that they just do it.
-snip- wrong sherriff
[media]https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/901263061511794688[/media] why did he feel the need to point out joe's age? :v:
[QUOTE=HumanAbyss;52613721]Not surprised. Not shocked. Just fucking disgusted. More of this to come I'm sure.[/QUOTE] It's really quite horrifying that something that would be incredibly controversial under literally any other president is simply expected under Trump. [QUOTE=Raidyr;52613893]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.[/QUOTE] His supporters are exceptional at disappearing when it comes time to try and defend him over the indefensible. As I've pointed out to several of them on multiple occasions, this sort of disappearance act when they can't defend him doesn't help their credibility in the least bit. It only makes people take them less seriously because public perception is that they will only ever defend him no matter how bad his actions get.
If the racism isn't bad enough(which it most certainly is), the guy set up an assassination plot against himself to boost his popularity. An 18 year old went to jail and spent 4 years there before it came out that he was the victim of entrapment. The kid almost spent 20 years in prison for Arpaio's stunt, and yet he got away with it.
I really hope this results in some consequences for Trump, but I'm going to keep my expectations low and say "probably not".
[QUOTE=AbioFlesh;52614187]I really hope this results in some consequences for Trump, but I'm going to keep my expectations low and say "probably not".[/QUOTE] It's more fuel for the dumpster fire that is this presidency. Whether or not that fire burns Trump or just simmers out has yet to be seen.
This is the strong leadership I wanted from Trump during one of the most severe natural disasters in recent memory. There's no doubt in my mind now that Trump is a fascist and a white supremacist.
Absolute disgust. Fetid old cretins have to stick out for each other, I guess?

If he isn't an outright fascist he certainly wants to become some variant of totalitarian.
