Dems along with their sycophantic attorneys are now all in a dither after the Stone Sentencing.That Trump has now apparently changed the rules governing Pardons.With Rod Blagojevich openly and somewhart aggressively displaying No Remorse before and after his Trump pardon.That according to these Hack Democrats and their Ilk { Radical Democrat Judges and Attorneys } who are now about to make a new case.That Under President Trump a new page in how Presidential Pardons are handled is a both shocking and to be a main focus of attention. That apparently Trump doesn't give a rats read end as far as any showing of remorse.No matter if Pardons have to be reviewed by Pardon attorneys.Another new Lie aimed at Trump for his way of handling things like Justice,Fairness and His way or the Highway. At 49% approval I think a majority of Americans think Trump's Highway is a pretty decent road to use to get from point A to Z. And back.
Fresh from a crushing defeat ala their ill conceived impeachment farce, the Dem's are spoiling for a new distraction from their perpetual defeats. They've developed an addiction to having egg on their face. Could it be that they realize their candidates are hopeless and the new strategy is to gather sympathy votes. You know, like somebody dancing with the ugly girl at the prom. uh,The Constitution explicitly assigns the president the power to sign or veto legislation, command the armed forces, ask for the written opinion of their Cabinet, convene or adjourn Congress, grant reprieves and pardons, and receive ambassadors and give zero ****s.
All presidents in my life time have pardon some folks I totally disagreed with. The Constitution gives the president this right, he doesn't have to answer to anyone except his own conscious. The list. Trump 25 as of 18 Feb 2020 Obama 212 G.W. Bush 200 Bill Clinton 459 G.H.W. Bush 77 Reagan 406 Carter 566 Ford 409 Nixon 926 LBJ 1,187 JFK 575 Eisenhower 1,157 Truman 2,044 FDR 3,687 After Nixon, presidential pardon's sure took a steep drop.
SPEAKING OF HIGHWAYS.... Oklahoma has a bill pending now that would re-name a portion of the famous "route 66" in honor of president Trump. Another, which I think has passed, is a change in license plate mottos. It was suggested to use "Make America Great Again", but available space made that impractical- so they settled on "America First". Thumbs up, Okies! I have an old friend who lives in Oklahoma- and hates Trump, totally for personality reasons. I haven't talked to her about this yet, but I know her reaction will be about the same as getting an atomic wedgie...
Saw a chart of pardons and such by the last few presidents. At they rate Trump is going, he would need to be in office for about 40 years to catch with Obama....
Assuming he doesn't get his well deserved retrial with a less Trump hating judge and jury and probably a change of venue as well. The scene outside the court room today made damn obvious that no one who is a friend or acquaintance of Trump will ever get a fair trial in DC
That's right Obama granted clemency to a Terrorist.A Puerto Rican nationalist convicted of seditious conspiracy,Use of force to commit robbery, Interstate transport of Firearms and ammunition and stolen vehicles. That being Unrepentant Terrorist Oscar Lopez Rivera.
Ummm... 49% and majority don’t go together. The President has always had minority support in this country and that isn’t likely to change. Personally I believe the sentencing for white collar criminals is far too lax. So I’m not going to be pleased with sentence reductions or pardons for these corrupt fools no matter who offers them up. If you can steal a million and the punishment is a slap on the wrist and a 100K fine that’s an incentive for corruption. If banking institutions can be caught laundering money and persistently get off with upper management claiming “lax controls” that’s an incentive for corruption. The status quo with white collar crime is not justice or fairness it’s corruption.
