    russia is not an enemy of America, they are not on the axis of evil.

    obama pardoned criminals who did not have friends in high places.

    Well...its a reality. But if you want to view felons as forever irredeemable then this pardon is not for you.

    Unfairly treated by White society. Really. So what do you propose that we have affirmative action for Black criminals? Do you believe or propose that Blacks be allowed to steal from banks because their ancestors were slaves?

    Isn't that what what Trump Cultists accuse normal people of wanting for Blacks.

    Do not let the Trump Cultists lie to you. Russia sure as schiest is an enemy of the US. Russia always was, is, and shall always be evil until it gets broken into little pieces. Other countries arevevil also but the fact that Dussia is evil does not make Iran or Syria, or North Korea not evil.

    Look at the history of Russia. Pogroms, genocide, putting innocent people in gulags, manufacturing artificial famines, poisoning opposition political leaders, assassinting opposition political leader and evil upon evil.

    I am a musician. I play electric and upright Bass. I have not had a "day job" for the better part of the last 30 years. I live in Austin, Texas. I have been to 47 states and 29 countries. You?

    For the past year I have been involved with starting a new business as a manager of my department. In 6 months we have started turning a profit.

    But you missed the point of my question.

    A well deserved pardon, but a ridiculous time for it to happen. Using him as a political pawn for his own selfish reasons at the RNC was classless and undignified for the highest office office in our Country.

    Again, if that's how you feel you should change your user name.

    Unless you're totally ignorant about history.

    Campaigning is a viscous fight. I understand you want Trump to just get up there and say "Vote for me" The end.

    I would prefer a POTUS who knows how to lead, cares about the citizens and the Constitution and prefers not to make a joke of the Presidency.

    But hey, that's just silly ole me.

    Being a musician, I can understand why you think that.

    If Trump's a racist he's really bad at practicing racism.

    You must have wax in your ears because that's exactly who he is. He just doesn't prescribe to the PC crap that you bought into.

    He's done really good work, both for himself and for others. He's done considerable time. I can't stand Trump and I don't trust his judgement, but this was a good call, regardless of his motivations.

    Like it or not, his motivation is to get re-elected. But the right thing to do in the mean time.

    So are you saying the US needs to be broken into little pieces as well? As we have been guilty of the same or similar at some point in our history....as has just about every 1st world country in the world.

    If wanting a POTUS to have dignity and not piss on the Constitution makes me PC, so be it.

    So pardoning a criminal is pissing on the constitution? You should read the constitution sometime.

    It is interesting to read the posts of those that believe Ponder should not have been pardoned....especially when this is a PERFECT example of what the pardon system was designed for and why it is allowed. As I said, I think some are opposed for the sole reason because Trump did it.

    Holy hell, did you even read any of my posts in this thread?

    Do I need to repeat that his pardon was well deserved in ALL CAPS?
