The presidency is just a prize for him to win. He doesn't give a shit about the actual duties involved.

The minute he's out and arrests another "suspected" illegal, he should be re-arrested.
Lets see how many times Trump can pardon the same guy.

I agree. Arpaio is a fucking different level of evil for me as a Hispanic, and has been for decades. Trump is evil, but an idiotic, incompetent evil. Arpaio takes joy in what he does and anybody (especially fellow Hispanics) who supports him is a piece of shit.

And he has said numerous times that he hates being president.
He is a victim of his own NPD.
I half expect he'd try anyway, and it wouldn't be a pretty sight.

I also love how he "wants to avoid controversy" like what a giant middle finger to half the fucking country.

Trump supporters were bitching how Obama commute, I mean pardon Chelsea Manning so why can't Trump pardon Joe. Christ, they make my head hurt from their stupidity.

Yeah man, the best way to avoid a controversy is to get everyone talking about it and putting members of your own party on the spot about having to agree with or denounce the idea rather than just quietly doing it.
I just realized we're not even a quarter through this nightmare....
Month 8 and already feels like 2 years.

I step away from Trump news for 2 fucking days and there's new scandals.

If he gets 8 years we're not even at 10% of the ride being over.

No man, there's no scandal. That's the whole point, he didn't do it tonight so there's no controversy!

Why? The guys done worse to people.
Speaking of that tweet. Was the ban actually coming into force or did he just made up shit and never mentioned again?
I think there's a higher chance of a meteorite ending all life on earth in the next 8 years than there is of us getting 8 years of Trump. I'm serious, I just can't see it happening. A lot of things are stacked against him now between scandals, his obvious incompetence at the job(and at anything really), and age/health. Who would have thought that 6 months in some of his own party would be turning against him in one way or another? Can you imagine what things will be like in 2 years at this rate of mounting disapproval?
He never actually signed anything. So nothing is actually happening. However he's mentioned it a few times since.

there is joy in sucking dick
Another Executive power that hinges itself on the morality and intelligence of the elected person.
you realize that post was advocating murder right
I'm just venting (bad habit)
I do hope that he is not pardoned, obviously, but we'll see which way this goes.

Nope. But Arpaio was convicted in a federal court.
Probably get elected too. Dems rode Obama's coat tails and Hillary tried to ride his wave into the White House. If people maintained the same energy used to get Obama elected and made moves consistently during his eight years might of made a difference. Instead all of the right bubbled quietly and spoke to their base. Not to mention those who decided not to vote and the Bernie supporters who voted for Trump because of some misguided concept of justice.
Sort of felt like a lot of folks just watched Obama during his last few years expecting results without much activism. Like the rest of the basketball team just standing around while the star player was the first to arrive and the last one to leave the gym. Another 4 years of Trump is a scary idea and it's looking more likely. SMH.

Trump's getting the paperwork ready.
The paperwork has reportedly been prepared for President Trump to pardon controversial former Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio.
The White House has prepared the paperwork for when Trump makes the decision and has also put together talking points for surrogates, CNN reported.
The talking points include emphasizing that Arpaio should not be put in prison for "enforcing the law" and "working to keep people safe."
During his Phoenix rally Tuesday, President Trump refrained from pardoning Arpaio, but signaled he would do so.
As predicted.

Majority aint gonna come out and say yes, theyll hide in the shadows.
Used locking up brown people to win elections- sherrif is astoundingly a political position I'm many parts of the US and stole a bunch of money among other things.
I mean, that's kind of what I'm going for. It is self severing I suppose knowing that no one is going to respond.
If campaign finance laws (citizens united bullshit) and campaigning limits aren't part of the Democratic platform in 2020 to curb this scary shit, we've failed as a country.
If I remember right repealing Citizen's United was part of the platform in 2016 and people didn't seem to care enough to vote her in.
