until you realize that Rod's wife has been all over fox news for years.

Edit: and it's a trial run too


quote:

In conversations with advisers, Mr. Trump has also raised the prospect of commuting the sentence of Roger J. Stone Jr, his longest-serving adviser, who was convicted in November of seven felony charges, including tampering with a witness and lying under oath in order to obstruct a congressional inquiry into whether the Trump campaign conspired with Russia to influence the 2016 election.

Blago is one of the worst kinds of democrat anyhow, so this is no surprise.

He was pretty much a DINO when he ran Illinois, no reason to think he was any better than the worst republican. Now I wonder if Ryan is out of prison yet.

E: Ryan got out of the pen 6 years ago.

Notice how pretty much no Dem or lefty in general steps up to defend Blago or John Edwards. Even Weiner lost all support the second time he hosed up. Repubs on the other hand will close ranks around anyone.

We should execute people for large scale financial crimes. That way we don't have to worry about them getting pardoned later.

Except for Blago, it's all wiping out the original convictions, probably for "I can't hire you because I can't hire felons for this, sorry" reasons.

Yeah I'm being completely serious. Unlike violent crimes it might actually work as a deterrent since fraud is not typically a crime of passion but is well calculated. And it's proportional. If you rob a bank you'll almost certainly be punished more harshly than if you stole 10x (or 1000x) as much through fraud. Let's make people think twice about corruption.

In the same sense that everything that Trump touches is such a stupid loving idea, but we can always hope that the loving stupid will dissipate after he's gone.

The problem is that there's nowhere else to put that power. Giving it to the Attorney General doesn't help anything. Sticking it in the judicial branch doesn't make sense. Maybe congressional pardons could be a thing, but that leads to legislative/executive constitutional concerns. And removing all pardons completely doesn't really make any sense either.

It's yet another problem caused by putting a complete loving idiot in charge.

Stirring up intra-party drama gets people mad enough to not vote when the nominee isn't their guy. That's probably more Putin talking than Trump though.

Donnie's simultaneously saying that Mike can win the thing, while also saying that the DNC is stealing the nomination. It's just cheez whiz brain droppings.
