Trumps not smart enough to think that, this was one of his cronys that told him it was a good time to sign it.

Hopefully someone picks up the good headline once the worst is over "While ignoring Texans in trouble Trump pardons sheriff who committed human rights abuses"

Now doesn't this mean that anyone suing the department can now call Joe to the stand and force his testimony since he's no longer given 5th amendment protections? And now he can be forced to testify against pretty much the entire department?

I mean, he just got pardoned out of a federal contempt charge, so why not ignore the court again?

Trump is going to get loving bar-b-qued Monday morning and thats before anyone really gets a grasp on how big a poo poo show the response to Harvey is going to be.

If you're a tough on crime conservative or just hate foreigners, the optics of pardoning Arpaio aren't bad at all. This isn't going to turn anyone against him who didn't already hate him.

You're probably not wrong.But I more mean the timing, when one of the states is about to be underwater, is just beyond belief. Especially combined with that clip posted earlier of him going 'good luck everyone, good luck'

whatever happens now will be forgotten in a few weeks, and the people in texas who get hosed over will blame the democrats for some reason. trump will say he is trying to get them help but obstructionist democrats won't let him or some poo poo.

I mean it's always the Democrat's fault, no matter what. Look how many people criticize Obama for his failure with the Hurricane Katrina response. The exact same thing will happen here. Job numbers and the economy under Trump are 100% the result of his hard work and Art Of The Deal-ing but when Texas gets rear end hosed by a Hurricane it will be about how terrible Obama was with FEMA and how he left Trump a failed organization with no leadership that couldn't respond appropriately.

No, it will not matter to them that Trump hasn't appointed that leadership and it's the Republicans who scream day in and day out about starve-the-beast politics. In the minds of Trump voters it will be entirely the Democrat's fault. That's just the reality we operate in now, where about a third of the country isn't in anything connected to that reality.
