RE: Ex-sheriff Joe Arpaio found guilty of criminal contempt of court - GMDino - 08-14-2017 And now we will see if the law matters to Republicans. http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2017/08/14/trump-seriously-considering-pardon-for-sheriff-joe-arpaio.html Quote:EXCLUSIVE: President Trump may soon issue a pardon for Joe Arpaio, the colorful former Arizona sheriff who was found guilty two weeks ago of criminal contempt for defying a state judge’s order to stop traffic patrols targeting suspected undocumented immigrants. In his final years as Maricopa County sheriff, Arpaio had emerged as a leading opponent of illegal immigration.

Obama gave clemency to both a person who willingly released hundred's of thousands of classified documents to the public and an unrepentant terrorist. Trump pardoning Arpaio wouldn't cause the needle to move by comparison.

Hardly news, I'm merely asking for consistency. Many think Manning deserved to be pardoned as she believed she was doing the right thing. This exact argument could easily be used in a defense of Arpaio. Essentially, the point I'm making is that if you didn't criticize Obama for granting clemency to Manning and POS terrorist man then you have no ground to stand on to criticize Trump for a potential pardon of Arpaio.

Jeff Flake (R - AZ) is in hot water with the Trump crowd right now, which is interesting. Flake has voted along with the Trump crew 93.5% of the time. Jeff flake is pretty moderate. He ran on being a conservative and has betrayed conservatives on his voting record. There are things I like about trump but honestly most of his policy beliefs are too liberal for me. The dirty little secret is that the alt right is actually pretty liberal policy wise.

He ran on being a conservative and has betrayed conservatives on his voting record. Fascinating. As I said before, I guess voting along with Trump 93.5% of the time isn't good enough for some people. Which is okay by me. The Democrats are fielding an extremely popular candidate against him or whatever nutcase the Trump crowd are trying to push.

The only reason I can stomach voting for him was because I knew Hillary was a disaster and he has a chance to deregulate and get something tough on immigration. The raise act is exactly what I was hoping. If I had my way it would be president Rand Paul or Ted Cruz. Unfortunately both are weak on immigration.... which is a big issue for me. RE: Ex-sheriff Joe Arpaio found guilty of criminal contempt of court - StLucieBengal - 08-14-2017 Continuing on that thought...... it amazes me that the dems are trying to slam trump the way they are considering he would probably rubber stamp the more liberal policies. Which begs the question are they even a liberal party any longer? I think trump wins re-election and if the establishment tries to run a Kasich to challenge trump and loses.... I wonder if they break off into a more centrist party. They certainly have the money.

Let that Genie out of the bottle there, buddy! We have so much regulation on top of regulation to fix the regulation. I would love a total deregulation then revote regulation into effect. And make these regs something you have to vote for every ten years. Also get rid of these unelected regulatory machines. The politicians don't want to take a hard vote but want some unelected guy writing the regulations. This is why we have all this nonsense on top of nonsense. I want them to have to vote and go on the record. We need some regulations but this would keep the overall amount of regs In check. Which I believe we need.

RE: Ex-sheriff Joe Arpaio found guilty of criminal contempt of court - GMDino - 08-15-2017 Trump retweeted a FOX news story about him thinking about pardoning Joe.
The best writers in the world couldn't create an egomaniac character like the current POTUS that also complete lacks a sense of irony.

RE: Ex-sheriff Joe Arpaio found guilty of criminal contempt of court - GMDino - 08-26-2017 At 10pm on a Friday night...with a Hurricane about to hit Texas the POTUS released the following tweet:
That should tell you everything you need to know. Quote: President Trump has pardoned former Sheriff Joe Arpaio from his criminal contempt conviction, removing the only legal consequences the lawman faced stemming from a racial-profiling suit. Yes, the "rule of law". That's sure what Trump is upholding there.... https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation-now/2017/08/25/president-trump-pardons-former-sheriff-joe-arpaio/604139001/ RE: Ex-sheriff Joe Arpaio found guilty of criminal contempt of court - Sociopathicsteelerfan - 08-26-2017 Obama granted clemency to an unrepentant terrorist. Pardoning a person with a long history of public service doesn't look troubling in comparison. Or do you support terrorism?

That's a silly question that has no basis in fact. Thanks for asking the question and offering no comment on the story. |
