Pardoning arpaio is Trump sending a message that you don't need to worry about Mueller.

Arpaio willfully ignored the orders of a federal judge, in direct contradiction of the constitution, and without the advice of the DOJ. Instead of going through the proper channel of appeals, he did what he wanted.

This is not pardoning after time served or following reform; it's a complete dismissal of the law.

From now on, should I worry about law enforcement completely ignoring the law because they believe in the Almighty Trump? Will he just pardon anyone who blindly stands behind him?
Good! When liberal judges legislate from the bench this is what should happen. Follow the law or be bypassed for being a political shill

The reality, sad or otherwise, is that half the country is not paying any attention at all. Or said another way, they couldn't care less.

By calming down do you mean the media starting to report facts, Libs telling Cathy Griffin no more chopped heads, no BLM yelling kill cops, and ending the nothing burger Russia investigation? Sure I am for that.

Joey, I voted Republican in every Presidential election of my lifetime until this one. I want the Republicans to solve the long term problem they have. This does not help.

In rallying behind Trump during the election cycle the Republicans possibly sacrificed any chance they had at remaining competitive in the long term.

What this is is another indication of Trump playing to a shrinking proportion of the electorate while alienating expanding proportions of the electorate.

Having said that I do not like the fact that our Supreme Court, years ago, found yet another way to ignore what the Constitution actually says so that Federal judges could deny people jury trials in situations like this. The Sheriff may have lost anyway. But what the Constitution actually SAYS is that he had a right to a jury trial.
Well, I believe that I must tell the truth
And say things as they really are
But if I told the truth and nothing but the truth
Could I ever be a star?

I'm not so sure it's a "nothing burger" anymore the way he freaks out on everybody but he won't say boo to Putin. Odd behavior for a narcissistic sociopath.

How much are you charging Trump for living full-time in your head???

I hope you're getting at least as much as Maxine is getting...

You're right Klean but the problem is that because you rationalized or ignored the shenanigans that went on during Obama's administration you don't have a lot of credibility to call out the right for rationalizing or ignoring Trump's shenanigans.
Being wrong about a topic is called post partisanism - kalm

MAQA - putting the Q into qrazy qanon qult qonspiracy theories since 2015.

It will probably be difficult for MAQA yahoos to overcome the Qult programming but they should give being rational & reasonable a try.

And anything Trump does is still better than what the alternative was in November. Trump's worst day is still better than Obama's best.

A coward would do nothing out of fear or do something and try to keep it secret. Neither of those things happened in this case. Whether the decision was right or wrong, cowardice was not a factor.
