What does pardoning Martha Stewart even accomplish as if she’s been living in hardship since her release?

she had her own Apprentice spinoff

Blagojevich was on the Apprentice

Dinesh D'Souza goes on FOX News

Everyone he has pardoned he has stressed how "unfairly" they've been treated. Some of the people were prosecuted by thorns in his side (including Comey). It's all about sending a message and undermining the justice system to soften the ground for his or his associates fall.

were they also done in by Comey?

Don't think there's anything tinfoil about this

DSouza - FECA violation
Stewart - Lying to the FBI
Blagojevich - Flat out corruption

Is there even a way to point to this pile and claim prescience of over reach because of pardon? That seems insane! Clearly he is messaging to his piles of trash that he will act on things that they have been accused of. that list of charges seems both pretty specific, and familiar. Am I over reading into this and it just softening the blow with "his people" so that they take to the streets?

Team Trump is sending out talking point to a crazy list of people, including people who were on both Team Obama and Clinton. Better still, they did not BCC, just CC so everyone could muse over who was who, and find fellow Trump allies to ask why they were getting such stuff. The one guy coined the phrase that Trump is “bad at playing president”.

The White House is now demanding that TBS cancel the Samantha Bee Show because Bee called Ivanka a cunt in a segment


this is our politics

(is a little much)

Impressive how thin skinned one of the biggest buckets of hate is, even if an insult is over the top.

Why can’t everyone just be NICE?

Almost everyone hates the D'Souza pardon, except...

@tedcruz

Bravo! @realDonaldTrump Dinesh was the subject of a political prosecution, brazenly targeted by the Obama administration bc of his political views. And he’s a powerful voice for freedom, systematically dismantling the lies of the Left—which is why they hate him. This is Justice. https://twitter.com/realdonaldtrump/sta ... 1599860736 …

Really, a bastion of freedom. Throwing racist hate left and right on Obama, sniping at Parkland kids, etc. All that from an admitted felon.

From AP:

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said Thursday he offered to go Washington this week to complete talks on renegotiating the North American Free Trade agreement but that Vice President Mike Pence called and told him a meeting with the U.S. president would only happen if Trudeau agreed to put a five-year sunset clause into the deal. Trudeau said he refused to go because of the “totally unacceptable” precondition. He made the comment while outlining Canada’s response to U.S. tariffs on steel and aluminum imports. Trudeau has long said he wouldn’t agree to a sunset clause because businesses need certainty when they make long-term investments and putting a sunset clause in every five years would create uncertainty.

Further:

Trudeau earlier deplored a decision by Trump to impose tariffs on steel and aluminum imports. Canada announced plans to slap tariffs on $12.8 billion worth of U.S. products, ranging from steel to yogurt and toilet paper. Trudeau said he regrets the action but said they must do it. “We have to believe that at some point their common sense will prevail. But we see no sign of that in this action today by the U.S. administration,” Trudeau said.

Common sense from this Administration? Canadians really do have a good sense of humor.

Since Parkinson’s seem like they are being used as a tool to subvert justice, does this and up in the Supreme Court? Maybe prevert justice is a better term.

It’s pretty wild that every country we want to put a steel tariff on, wants to put a steel tariff on us. I guess that just speaks to the global nature of the economy.

Fuck that...it's on point.

Now Sally Field is getting shit from the right because she said that Ivanka isn't a cunt, cunts are beautiful, nurturing, and honest.

The point is the government can't demand it
