    Pardons for criminal who palled around with Russians followed up with a pardon for a bank robber. Then let them speak at your convention. And it does not get any better than that. Now that is something that college kids will study in the future how once there was a POTUS who liked to pardon criminals especially criminals who robbed banks or had connections with enemy nations and as a kicker have the criminals speak at a major US political party's convention.

    You cannot make this schiest up to be more disgusting than the truth.
    Does anyone think this is an acceptable behavior for a POTUS?

    Yes I know HOW-ABOUT blah blah. And Dupsey Dong did it.......... and the Constitution gives a POTUS that right.
    Just because you can do something should you?

    I’m pondering why the BLOTUS would Parton such a criminal named “Ponder”

    Is the BLOTUS giving the Finger to the rest of “us” that are getting shot at and bullied by terrorist while his Russian handler wife tears up a rose garden ?

    A scandalous use of the sacred White House for strictly political purposes.

    A disgrace.

    I love all the roiling and angst going on in the heads of the never Trumpers.
    Don't forget to look over your shoulders. The Russians are coming.

    That is funny. You know I have heard conspiracy theorists say that Melanika was controlled by KGB handlers. Far fetched indeed but anything is possible. Her father was a Communist official in Slovenia then part of Communist Yugoslavia. The Trump gang started to spread the fake story that dada Knavs was an "entrapeneur". Again anything is possible since most of the oligarchs who crawled up from the cesspool of the USSRVwere KGB officials during the USSR days.

    Wait maybe I misunderstood you. Did you say "Russian handler" ? Oooooow that puts a diferrent light on things doesn't it.

    But that is getting a bit off topic.

    Do any of you know why Trump pardoned him?

    Do any of you know what Ponder has done with his time in prison?

    I'm betting some of you only dislike this pardon because Trump issued it. If Obama had pardon him, it would have been righteous.

    Ever since JFK , things once thought totally in the realm of conspiracy imagination have become ever more plausible and in time may become a horrible fact

    The issue is should criminals or excons be speaking at a national party's convention! I say no at least not for the Republican or Democratic Parties. But former criminals speaking at the Communist Party national convention ok!

    Sounds like they do not want blacks to be treated fairly.

    Once former convicts speak at national conventions there is no lower you can go. Well maybe DJT will grad something worse out of the D.C. cesspool.

    The story isn't that he was a felon. The story is that he was a felon, was born again, changed his life and now helps others through his Prisoner reformation program . It a worthy story to tell.

    So, you don't think this man deserved a pardon? A man that served his prison time and then once out he started a program that provides job training, provides counseling to help other former inmates change their lives for the good and improve their lives, and also helps them adjust to life outside of prison? Personally, I think this man is well deserving of a pardon. He paid for his crimes and changed his life to help others instead of taking from others. His program helps many people from returning to jail and become a larger burden on society. This man has done more for people than most have ever done.

    Is it just me or does the left think this man would garner more respect if he went back to a life of crime?

    Who was that?

    https://nypost.com/2020/08/25/trump-pardons-bank-robber-jon-ponder-before-his-rnc-2020-speech/
    "Ponder, now a born-again prisoner rehabilitation expert, appeared in a video from the White House Tuesday with Trump and Richard Beasley, the FBI agent who arrested him. He and Beasley are now best friends."

    Did the woman at the DNC convention who participated in the kidnapping, rape, torture and murder of an elderly man appear with her arresting agent as well?


    Seems like a pretty shallow and meritless attack. But hey, it's slightly less petty than attacking the White House garden redecoration.

    How was he " fairly treated " by White society? He robbed banks. He was a bank robber so he stole things that did not. belong to him, he obviously was arrested and convicted and sentenced.

    How the hell is that being unfairly treated?
