If he gets Trump FIRST, the Cheeto can’t pardon all the others.
But, i believe Trump would happily throw them all under the bus just for spite anyway. It’s his nature.
They should pull themselves up by their bootstraps. Don’t even try to tell me they don’t have boots. Shiftless lazy bastards.
groan! 
Apparently Trump wants to have lunch with Tillerson soon.
“Now let’s see what’s on the menu today, Rex.”
“Let’s see, yes, I’ll have the fried fish and you can have a man-steak - a Trump man-steak. It’s the best. Believe me, ask Melania.”
We already are in groups like that re: the death penalty and healthcare.
They don’t care.
Trump’s reason for announcing Arpaio’s pardon during a mega hurricane threatening the nation’s 4th largest city and the nation’s most important sea port?
He thought it would get higher ratings.:rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:
Good point.
And now Arpaio is making strange belching noises about running for Congress or something.
Because, you know, criticizing the orange shit-gibbon is a sure path to political failure.
Inviting predictions from Dopers:
When Trump visits Corpus Christi, TX today
- how will he make it all about him,
- whom will he inadvertently insult,
- how long will it take him to mention how he carreid Texas yuuuugely,
- how will he work Hillary’s emails into his remarks?
Bonus: look for a picture of Greg Abbott nuzzling Der Trumpnik’s backside. Greg is already seated, so that makes it easy.
For some reason, and I know history isn’t on my side on this, I predict he’ll be on message. I think Kelly is making sure Trump knows the gravity of the situation, and that he has teleprompters cued up with very small words written in very large letters.
Tuesdays are “presidential days”, aren’t they?
Wasn’t the infrastructure press conference that turned into a nazi rant on a Tuesday, after a presidential Monday?
Aw, you guys are no fun. Trump is going to be on the scene of one of the yuuuuge-est natural disasters in recent memory. The last category 4 hurricane to hit Texas was Carla in 1961. What an opportunity to reach into his bag of superlatives! If he stays on message, I will be very surprised (and disappointed).
Was very poorly remembering and paraphrasing this.
I am certain that he will speak about the magnitude of the storm in admiring tones, almost as though he is proud of it. I think it is really likely that he will brag about his election totals in Texas. I also think that it is really likely that he say something totally inappropriate to the occasion. I think there is no chance that he will stay on message today. I realize that these are not bold or shocking predictions.
Melania makes a daring footwear choice for visiting a flood zone:
I agree that he will handle this with relative gravitas … in other words, bare minimum humanity. But he will address point (1) by stating incorrectly that this is the most calamitous humongous disaster to ever strike anyone anywhere, and that his administration under his direction is doing everything superbly.
I’ve noticed the women 45* has about him are always wearing those gawdawful spike heels; makes me wonder if he in fact insists that women wear them around him.
You guys have no idea how painful those things can be. Never mind the long-term damage to a woman’s feet.
