I wish we get a left wing Antifa troll for a term in the White House just to see the reactions on this board. Y'all would be melting like CNN is melting today and can't decide if they want to cover Harvey or Trump's pardon of Joe at the moment.

It's a hypothetical just to make a point. You can use any names you want.

A local Arizona sheriff getting pardoned shouldn't be national news

Sorry

But the only people that should care are Arizona residents

Otherwise it's just faux outrage

Joe was mean to illegal Mexicans

Harvey is afffecting millions of pure blood Americans

The difference is Nagan broke the law.

Joe was enforcing it.

You equate fraud and bribery with enforcing federal law? Yikes. Not the brightest bulb.

Do you actually think Trump waited for a hurricane to pardon Arpaio?

When will you mental/emotional children grow the frick up and move on with your lives?

I've never witnessed anything like this 9 month-long tantrum. It's pathetic.

So you'd vote for the destruction of America just to see this board melt for one day?

Presidents have the power to pardon, so there's no point questioning the basis of whether or not they can pardon... or the timing, honestly. If you want to have an argument about the choice of whom to pardon and why, then that would be fair game. But these two don't appear equal.

He took advantage of a huge event. You can't admit that?

Any one with a common sense brain doesn't "melt" over a "felon" being pardoned for a damn misdemeanor. You will have a long wait.

we had one for two terms already. over 1,000 federal, state, and local seats have been lost to liberals as a result.

the plan now is obviously to double down on insanity since libs don't know anything else.

works for me.

Kanye saying Obama hates black people would have been epic.

Are you aware Arpaio was denied a jury trial?

If you didn't know Trump was trolling his base when he said " we are a country of laws", then you haven't been paying attention.

Dude loves trolling those red hat wearing Make Afghanistan Great Again people.

You've concocted a scenario for August 2005, when George W. Bush was POTUS and Nagin had been accused of no crimes.

I'm frankly unsure about the analogy you want to make to the current situation because Arpaio is about 1000 miles away from any breeze stirred by Harvey.

Wait, is one of us high?
