President Trump told Fox News he is “seriously considering” a pardon for Joe Arpaio, the controversial former sheriff of Maricopa Country, Ariz.
Arpaio was found guilty of criminal contempt last month after he was ordered to stop racially profiling Latinos in his Maricopa County office.
“I am seriously considering a pardon for Sheriff Arpaio,” Trump told Fox News at his Bedminster, N.J., golf club, where he had been staying over the weekend.
“He has done a lot in the fight against illegal immigration. He’s a great American patriot and I hate to see what has happened to him.”
First you fail to condemn violence by the White Supremacists and now you want to pardon the guy who got busted for racially profiling.
Is Trump in the middle of pledge week for his local KKK fraternity house or something.
What does he do next week, burn a cross on the White House lawn?
That guy is a racist jerk and should never be pardoned. He's very much disliked down in his area of the USA. Trump is the only idiot that would allow such a pardon.
ReplyDeleteThis is another trial balloon.
DeleteHe's floating the idea to see what kind of support or push back he'll receive.
He's such a dumb ass he's doing it right after the Charlottesville terrorism attack?
Yeah, he does have dementia. He's also fucking stupid.
Trump has always been a despicable human being. Now that dementia is also a factor, I'm afraid that it will be used to excuse his behavior. People will forget that it's possible to be a shitty person and have dementia.

"Simone Askew marched into history Monday as the first black woman to lead the Long Gray Line at the U.S. Military Academy."
WINNING! "Jurors in a Denver federal court on Monday sided with Taylor Swift in her lawsuit against a DJ who allegedly groped her, and ordered the DJ to pay her $1, the symbolic damages Swift requested in her suit. Swift accused DJ David Mueller of groping her during a 2013 meet-and-greet. Mueller sued Swift in 2015, claiming her allegations lost him his job. Swift countersued Mueller, saying he “intentionally reached under her skirt, and groped with his hand an intimate part of her body in an inappropriate manner, against her will, and without her permission.” A judge rejected Mueller’s suit. In a Monday night statement, Swift thanked her lawyers, and said she acknowledged "the privilege that I benefit from in life, in society and in my ability to shoulder the enormous cost of defending myself in a trial like this. My hope is to help those whose voices should be heard. Therefore, I will be making donations in the near future to multiple organizations that help sexual assault victims defend themselves."

ReplyDelete"What we witnessed Saturday was the terrifying but logical outcome of our escalating, toxic politics of hate. I’ve seen it happen before. Serving in the Central African Republic in 2012, I saw political leaders use hatred and “othering” as instruments to gain political power. As a result, within months, Christians and Muslims, peaceful neighbors for decades, turned against each other. I saw the same thing happen when I served in Burundi, where Hutus and Tutsis made giant strides toward reconciliation after a horrifying history of mass atrocities, only to be manipulated, divided and turned against one another yet again."that American exceptionalism immunizes us from the virulent racism and tribalism that tear apart other countries far, far away. But we’re more susceptible than we’d like to think."
ReplyDelete" Virginia was the birthplace of American democracy, but it was also the capital of the Confederacy. " In this state alone, 44 black men were lynched from 1877 to 1950, often at the hands of some of the same groups that marched through Charlottesville on Saturday."This violence will continue unless we commit universally to condemning and standing against it."

Remember Sarah Palin’s favorite campaign prop, Joe the Plumber? In 2008, they talked about real (read: white) America. And after Barack Obama won the 2008 election, many delusional Americans assumed Palin and her white supremacist ideas were defeated.
DeleteNot so fast, cautions Paul Krugman in his Monday column.
In his first post-Charlottesville dispatch, Krugman reminds us that Palin “was harshly condemned for those remarks, and rightly so — and not just because the real, real America is a multiracial, multicultural land of great metropolitan areas as well as small towns. More fundamentally, what makes America America is that it is built around an idea: the idea that all men are created equal, and are entitled to basic human rights. Take away that idea and we’re just a giant version of a two-bit autocracy.”
Unfortunately, as this weekend’s events proved, we’re much closer to said autocracy than we were nine years ago. Even worse, “Donald Trump’s refusal to condemn the murderous white supremacists in Charlottesville finally confirms what has become increasingly obvious: The current president of the United States isn’t a real American.”

3:01. Glad to see someone put it into words. That Sarah Palin is part of the KKK.
DeleteI mean Alaska is the home to the most racist people who moved from the lower 48 to seed their movement. Just research Schaeffer Cox, another racist wife beater.
Oh yes of course. Anyone that aided in the attempted scam is pardoned. Old Joe was headed to Hawaii with the constitutional sheriffs to find the Obama Birth Certificate. Yep. The loons cost the USA millions of dollars being LIARS. The gull of these nasty insane supreme beings is awful. Time to tell them.

Anyone else not sure what I meant?
America use to hire respected Sheriffs to remove the guns and get order in society. Now certain sheriffs stand on wrong side and not with the people and to protect the people.

Does Donald Trump have any gray matter between those ugly orange ears? Or does Melania blow in his ear and he says "Thanks for the fill-up!"
ReplyDeleteThink about the implications here. Essentiallly: "I condemned Nazis against my will to appease the media and they're still not happy."
