I ditched Facebook a several weeks ago and posted in the last thread how the Gainesville, FL police department (the town I went to high school in) tweeted out how they don't condone what Trump said about police brutatlity. Someone showed me a longer statement that they released via Facebook and it owns:

quote:

"Earlier today, the President made remarks that seemed to endorse and condone police brutality.

The President of the United States has no business endorsing or condoning cops being rough with arrestees and suggesting that we should slam their heads onto the car while putting them in.

The men and women of GPD absolutely reject those remarks and will continue to serve and protect this great community with respect.

The President's remarks today have set modern policing back and erased a lot of the strides we have made to build trust in our community, but we hope that each of you will recognize the work we have done to earn your trust.

It's certainly possible to enforce laws and arrest very bad folks and do it with respect. The men and women of GPD prove this on a daily basis.

YOUR Gainesville Police Department will continue to treat everyone with respect, no matter the circumstances.

It is truly an honor to serve this community."

I'm not entirely sure i'm comfortable with two retired generals effectively taking over the country, but i'm much more comfortable with the situation in washington with mattis and kelly both willing to kick everyone out of the room to yell at Trump and tell him to shut the gently caress up.

I think we should give them new titles. Maybe names that refer to how they council the president.

Consul has a nice ring to it? It'd fit, considering the hard-on the founding fathers had for the Roman Republic.

Commandant of the Coast Guard to President Trump: go gently caress your transgender ban

It doesn't since the Coast Guard IS part of the military. it would matter if The president ban applied ONLY to DoD departments.

Have a quote from Graham

"There is a military option to destroy North Korea's (missile) program and North Korea itself," Graham said on NBC's "Today" show. "If there's going to be a war to stop them, it will be over there. If thousands die, they're going to die over there, they're not going to die here and (President Donald Trump) told me that to my face."

He continued: "I'm saying (military options are) inevitable if North Korea continues."

The military/Joint Chiefs are currently doing nothing on the transgender ban until they hear back from official channels. That official channel is Defense Secretary Mattis.

Mattis has no control over the Coast Guard. The Coast Guard would get their guidance from the DHS Secretary, formerly John Kelly, now Chief of Staff.

Since the Coast Guard has a different chain of command than the DoD, the Coast Guard Commandant figured he could be cheeky and get away with it, since per his chain of command, Mattis can't choke out his eyeballs and use them for golf.

Does a pardon clear your record of whatever you're being pardoned for or does it just keep you out of jail? Because Sheriff Joe likely won't do any time and if I understand it correctly, pardons don't erase convictions.

So a pardon would be symbolic if anything and wouldn't actually do anything to help Sheriff Joe, assuming he doesn't actually have to get locked up at all, right?

So absolutely Trump will do it because his core base would love it.

I almost want it to happen, because it will show Trump that pardons are cool and good and make people like him, increasing his likelihood of pardoning himself.
