Youre correct, I was wrong, she wasn't given a pardon.

And don't forget about private prisons paying off judges for harsher sentences.


What does that have to do with Presidential pardon/commutations?

Some are legit...

Some are not...

Did he really have to wait till the end of his presidency? Why not let some out earlier??  After watching making a murderer why didn't he get Brandon dassy out earlier?

Because the President can only pardon federal crimes. The Avery boys were charged under state crimes.

Don't forget cracked skull. Once you get that you don't have to offer any legislation or defend your claims. Did you know he got his skull cracked?

You mean like Trump?

Trump didn't get his skull cracked. You can make up all the stories and piss videos you want about him. John Lewis got his skull cracked so that makes him extra smart and special and he never has to do anything again. Cause he got his skull cracked. His skull was cracked in case you didn't know, so don't say anything mean about him. His skull was cracked.

3 more days then the Trump critique becomes for real. Going to be exciting 4 years Mates. Good or bad it will be interesting. I can't wait to get this show on.

Hey man, John Lewis got his skull cracked 60 years ago. It doesn't matter that he's a shitty congressman that doesn't have a single legislative accomplishment. It doesn't matter he's inconsistent and illogical. He stood up to racist white Democrats 60 years ago, so he can look like a complete ass and attack Trump, and no one can say a god damn word. Trump violated this unknown rule. He's a civil rights hero who stood up to the same party he joined. How dare Trump respond to his ridiculous attacks.  Lewis doesn't need to make intelligent or compelling or fact based arguments. He got his skull cracked 60 years ago.

Can you point me in the direction of the Bradley Manning party?  I love me some Wikileaks and treasonous rats. Let them Mexicans come across the border. Nationality ain't no thing. We're a global society. Multiculturalism for the win!

What's that?!  John McCain said something I don't like. That goofy mother fucker should have spent another 5 years being tortured by the Vietnamese. What the fuck he ever do for this country. It's not like he got his skull cracked marching in a parade. What's that!?  Russia leaked the truth about Hillary!  Fucking WW3. Fuck Wikileaks!

#3366 Re: The Garden » US Politics Thread » 486 weeks ago

Classified information versus Clinton's speeches aren't even a comparison.  I think Wikileaks should be bombed (not literally) and have no use or care for them.  I didn't read the Manning shit and I didn't read the Clinton emails.  I don't care.  My point is Sanders thought the Soviet Union was so great, he honeymooned there.  People were cheering Manning, Assanage and Wikileaks.  Then they released Hillary's campaign shit and they did a 180. I'd lock Snowden up for the rest of his life too, but you're going to find people who think he's a hero.

I guess I just have problems understanding how you can celebrate and condemn an organization based on the alleged source.  Russia wasn't a problem in 2008.  It wasn't a problem in 2012.  It wasn't a problem when Bernie had his honeymoon.  But once it showed what a liar Clinton and her campaign were, it was the end of the fucking world.  If you think knowing what Clinton said about Merkel was valuable information, how can knowing what Clinton said to Wall Street in private speeches not be important.  I'm trying to understand people's thought patterns.  I could give a shit about anything else.


And has the US even asked for Assanage?  I don't think so.  He's wanted in Sweden and no extradition request has been provided.  Not that Obama did this for Assanage, but will Assanage go to Sweden to face the charges against him?

#3367 Re: The Garden » US Politics Thread » 486 weeks ago

Assanage isn't going to turn himself in. 

At least the US Army won't be on the hook for Manning's surgery.  That traitorous rat will now get millions in donations, meanwhile the left will cry foul at Wikileaks still.  Amazing how they struggle to stay coherent and on message. 

Citizen leaking classified information.  Hero

Foreign government one of their candidates honeymooned in, leaks emails from the Clinton campaign, it's the worst attack since 9/11

#3368 Re: The Garden » US Politics Thread » 486 weeks ago

Oh, I know all too well.  A good friend of mine manged Trump's campaign in Ohio. I was privy to all the in fighting (and yes it's true, Eric Trump called to offer Kasich the VP slot just as the media reported).  But Kasich is still very popular in Ohio despite this.  There's no other big name Republican in the state to run against Brown in 2018 (Husted is running for the governorship), so I bet they'll get behind Kasich really fast if he decides to go for it.  He could be a good contender if Trump fucks up bad and loses in 2020 for 2024.

#3370 Re: The Garden » US Politics Thread » 486 weeks ago

I think Kasich is going to run against Brown in 2018.  He may not even be a name to run in 2020.

Can you name one legislative accomplishment from Fraken?  After the hoopla from his election in 2008 he hasn't even made the national news.  And Harris?  She's been in the national spot light for a week and spent her time with Tillerson asking if he'll hire gay people in the state department.  Really hard questions (federal law already makes it illegal to not hire homosexuals) that get down to the core of why he should be SoS for sure.  10
