    The MSM and the democrats are going nuts over the pardons and commutations that Trump is granting. How about this -- a quick internet search shows Obama granted 212 pardons and 1715 commutations. That was in 8 years.
    To-date, almost 3 years, Trump has granted 25 pardons and 10 commutations. The smallest number so far of any president since William McKinley in 1901.
    Ignore, or laugh, at the MSM and the democrats who have nothing else to do but pile on Trump. How do these morons get elected over and over? Where is an objective media to give us some context?

    Is the MSN going nuts over the number of pardons/commutations or are they going nuts over who is being pardoned/commuted? There is quite a difference between the two.

    Hmm.. is it? So when the media didn't go nuts when Obama pardoned the actual domestic terrorist... I know you don't have a defense, you just want to assert that you do.

    Well...um...yes there is quite a difference between stating they have an issue with the NUMBER of pardons versus WHO is being pardoned. Not sure how you're not aware of that. I suspect the media has more an issue with who is being pardoned by Trump rather than the actual number given how low it is. Is the media being hypocritical about that? Yup. Gee, what else is new...a hypocritical media. Are you really surprised by that?

    Agreed. But I just wanted to clear up what the OP was referring to regarding any outrage the MSN has. Seems odd they'd have issue with the number of pardons given how low they are. So the next thing would have to be WHO is being pardoned. Seems the 'who' is more likely why the MSN is outraged. Which would be hypocritical.

    Which wasn't the observation, was it? You ignored the Obama actually pardoned a domestic terrorist. So many of those Obama pardoned were drug and even violent offenders let out into the streets. Foreshadowing much? And now we have violent crime on the rise, looting and rioting in the streets, and you're butt hurt over the guy who was commuted? Seriously?

    How can I ignore something that wasn’t brought up in the OP? Remember, you replied to my post to the OP. Furthermore you never asked my about Obama pardoning a terrorist. Third, I did call out the media as being hypocritical regarding getting outrage over who is being pardoned.
    The fact that you think I’m “butt hurt” over who the “other guy pardoned”, given what I have posted, shows you don’t even pay attention to what I post and just go off of your agenda of being outrage over anything I post.
    I can’t be any clearer than this...ready? Pay attention now...here it comes....I DON’T GIVE TWO CRAPS WHO TRUMP HAS PARDONED. Is that clear enough for you? Probably not...:roll:

    The fact that the MSM, Deer in the Headlights Nancy, Lying Schiff, Mueller the Hack, and Partisian Shumer all are upset with Trump doing anything tells me I should be on Trump's side.

    I will never be in any politicians side as, in my opinion, they are all slime but their outrage over WHO is being pardoned is beyond hypocritical. But it seems being a hypocrite is part of the job description of politicians, hence why I think they are all slime.

    Hmm.. well, there you go. So Roger being out and all is ducky with you. Got it. If your OP was supposed to be a criticism of the press, it clearly didn't press that point.

    I don't give two craps about Roger being out. And pretty much all of my follow up posts did in fact criticize the press as being hypocrites. But I suppose expecting you to keep up is asking too much of you :D

    Hmm... got it. And the politicians are slime ... got that too. That seems a dim view of the options. At least that seems consistent.
