I can think of a few names more deserving of a presidential pardon.

I Agree.

I did'nt say it wasn't political or J.A. deserved a pardon. Just President Trump wouldn't pay a political price.

Old and busted: Antifa are just like Americans fighting Nazi's in WWII

What do you think about these "antifas?" Being against fascism is generally a good thing (unless you're a fascist). Means and methods vary, I don't condone them all, nor do most people. Then there are the fake antifa who are just agitators.

New Hotness: Antifa are not heros.

The anarchists are not "heroes of the left." They are a minority of extremists, being promoted by foreign actors who want to divide and disrupt the country.

"As others tear down Confederate monuments, Alabama unveils one"

That's at a Confederate Memorial Park, doubt people would have a problem with that. Town squares, court houses, more likely an issue. We shouldn't have stuff like the 10 Commandments at court houses either.

One in every crowd...

oops - stabbed himself, haha

He claimed he was stabbed for looking like a “neo-Nazi.” Now police say he bought the knife himself.

"In the middle of the hurricane, I assumed the ratings would be far higher than they would be normally," Pres. Trump said of Arpaio pardon.

^^^^^^^ Perfect example of why many people in this country and the rest of the world don't take him seriously.

Ratings????? WTF???

I will give you 5 to 1 odds there will be a 'stink' raised about it in the near future. (fyi...I've never lost a bet)

We shouldn't have stuff like the 10 Commandments at court houses either.

Why should we...our legal system has nothing to do with Jewish or Christian history.

Gov of Texas gives Federal Gov response an A+, cable news, alphabet networks and
@JB Lions in disbelief .

Despite political posturing and outright lies to the contrary, President Trump and Gov Abbott have had frequent communications.

Federal agencies and TX started coordinating their response 10 days ago.

Houston TX, the best of America. Berkley CA, the worst.

I didn't notice anybody here saying anything different. I think a lot of agencies are doing their own thing and pretty much not paying attention to Trump, maybe why it's going well.

He needs to grow up and start acting like a president.

He's not going to conform to you're idea of how a President should act. Even if he did, I doubt it would change your mind about his policies.

While your complaining about his tweets and the media are praising the rioting anarcho-communist, questioning the fitness of the President and making plans for the resistance...

No one is talking about health care, North Korea, the budget, the stalemate in congress, term limits, tax reform, immigration reform, Veterans Administration, DOJ covering for the IRS, etc. etc.

 

[enlytend]

I don't expect him to change. But if this was his show, he would have fired himself in the first month. The Muslim ban sh*tshow and the dead seal screwup. And practice hasn't made perfect.
He will go down in history, but not with honor and praise.

Trump is responsible for most of that. He could use his Twitter account to stick to the issues, he doesn't. He said his tweets are his main outreach, so obviously that's what people/media will talk about.

Funny, I just read a flashback to Bill Clinton's first year. It was every bit a disaster as Trump's. Dem's had the Senate too.

Trump controls the media. Just like a conductor. A svengali. A news whisperer.

Did you see the story about WSJ editor telling his journalist to report more facts, less sermonizing? Yeah.. they leaked his private emails to the NYT.
