Trump is considering pardoning Joe Arpaio.
[QUOTE=The Cheeto-in-Chief]
“I might do it right away, maybe early this week. I am seriously thinking about it,” Trump said, according to Fox News. He said Arpaio was a “great American patriot” who had “done a lot in the fight against illegal immigration.”

Fucking scumbag asshole. :mad:
Can he pardon a contempt of court charge?
Both of 'em.
And Kevin Plank, CEO of Under Armour, is the next to resign.
Maybe it’ll become a thing. Conservatives hate it when the invisible hand of the free market favors the socially liberal. Wonder whose next.
I swear to God, Trump’s mental age has to be in the single digits.
You give him far too much credit.
I believe the President (not just Trump, but any POTUS,) has unlimited authority to pardon all Federal crimes.
You’re trying too hard.
And the CEO of Intel is the third.
As I’ve said before, he is simultaneously the oldest and least mature President we’ve ever had.
Correct, except in cases of impeachment.
I believe I read somewhere — might even have been on the SDMB — that accepting a pardon, at least after one has been convicted, is tantamount to an admission of guilt. Is this a reasonable inference to make?
I read it here, too. (I might have even posted it… :rolleyes: ) It also removes Fifth Amendment protection from the person pardoned. So that’s an upside.
Someone please tell that to Joe Arpaio because he said “I would accept the pardon because I am 100 percent not guilty.”
So days after one of his supporters ran someone over, Trump retweeted a cartoon of the “Trump Train” running someone over.
People of that ilk(Arpaio, Trump etc) really don’t care whether you think they are guilty or innocent, as long as they get to keep their money and their freedom. For example, even if Trump is impeached and removed from office he will consider it a “win” if he makes his deals and makes an overall profit.
And that is exactly why I keep saying it is not enough. He needs to have all his ill gotten gains seized, be sent to federal prison, and his cronies with him.
Orangeanus had the unmitigated gall to offer this explanation for his refusal to condemn neo-Nazis:
The absence of a lightning bolt immediately afterwards is proof that there is no God.
He just doubled down on his pro-Nazi “both sides” shit AGAIN.
If you quack like a racist duck, you’re a racist duck. Why was there ever any doubt the s.o.b. is racist? Why is anyone surprised he supports racists? Why is anyone surprised racists support him?
Here is a link for those who get the pay wall block to that same story.
By the way, did you ever wonder why the chump is anti-Semitic even while his daughter converted to Judaism and married a Jew whose grandparents survived the Holocaust? IMHO, the answer is simple: the chump (a) considers the man to be "one of the good (i.e. not really one) Jews, and (b) his daughter’s conversion to be really meaningless.
Trump is the most deluded person in history and you Nazi sympathizers, racists, and bigots declared your sympathies when you voted for him. No, he was not the lesser of two evils. He was and still is evil. He has never done any good. And now he’s in a position to do more and worse evil than ever before. You fucking idiots.
