So?

Yea, I'm not sure how that's madness. I'm sure Canada would look at the red state disasters like Louisiana, which gets 44% of its budget from the federal government because the state can't accept personal responsibility for its own affairs, and consider that madness. Kentucky, West Virginia, Mississippi, Arkansas, Kansas - all madness. Maybe the problem is they're spending too much time worrying about transgenders and not enough time developing their skills to provide meaningful contributions to this great country. Madness.

What are you talking about? What do you think the Democrats have power to do?

This line from Arizona's largest newspaper says it best:

By pardoning Arpaio, Trump made it clear that institutional racism is not just OK with him. It is a goal.

No, we are sick of you and laugh at you too. He's saying it like it is, unlike Clinton the LIAR! Racist? Look up Clinton and see who the real racist is. Man, you've got some serious rage issues and possibly a mental order as well. Get help now old man.

Nope, you are the racist Flagboy. Hide all you want, your resentment is obvious.

Let's stop equivocating. Trump says racist things and he always has. Trump does racist things and he always has.

Can someone say racist things, do racist things, and still not be a racist? I'm sorry, that's just not possible.

Yep. Trump is a racist..that is crystal clear. Always has been.

Says the idiot who doesn't even know what "pales" means. Your middle name must be ignorant, am I right?

HI HARDLOPER!!!

Personally I have never been in favor of presidents have the legal authority to pardons those convicted of crimes. They are not kings.

I might be in favor of the president having the authority to send a convicted criminal to a committee that would evaluate the appropriateness of a pardon.

The presidential pardon is too vulnerable to abuse.

It is time to minimize presidential powers. Take away the ability to pardon--courts can handle it. Force 100% financial disclosure--tax returns. Ban ANY business use payments to a president. The later two changes would get Trump to walk away.

I agree.

But that's why modern presidents have always had a strict process in place that includes a recommendation from the justice department before pardons are granted.

Until now.

What Trump did was indeed an abuse of power. There was apparently no serious vetting of the case. There was no consideration of what is good for the country. He just decided to grant a pardon for purely political reasons.

Abuse of power is an impeachable offense. If impeachment ever happens then this pardon will probably constitute one of the charges.

What Obama did was clearly an abuse of power, look up the list.

Trump is a racist bigoted lying sack of sh!t

Well, on a good day, I suppose.

Trump condones overt racial discrimination and disregard for the judicial branch.

Worst president since Jefferson Davis.

Good point

I know Obama did vetting of his pardons through the justice department and I think the justice department recommendation should not just be good practice but should be a legal requirement before as pardon can be given.

I don't know if this would be a charge on Trump that could stick unless there were other pardons that showed a pattern of obstruction of justice. Trump would claim based on Arpaio's age and "intentions" the pardon was given.

I was very disappointed in the number and types of pardons Bill Clinton gave at the end of his administration. I was pleasantly surprised when George Bush didn't cave to Cheney and refused to pardon Scooter Libby. (I think George Bush had a sad epiphany at the end of his second term when he realized how he was mislead and the damage he created during his 2 terms - he strikes me as a man currently carrying the burden of tremendous guilt)

Good to see Trump tweeting about the wall and NAFTA this hour! Priorities, folks, priorities.
