President can't pardon state level convictions from what I've read. Does it even apply to Sheriff Shitfucker? Not that Donnie Dipshit won't do it anyway if Fox & Friends run a piece on it, but if it's state level wouldn't that just be more people standing around awkwardly staring at their shoes unable to carry out the diaper baby edict of the day?

A pardon carries with it a tacit admission of guilt and you lose all 5th amendment rights associated with the underlying crime.

Here's a really wacky thing.

http://www.politico.com/story/2017/08/01/trump-wall-street-journal-interview-full-transcript-241214

The Trump-friendly Wall Street Journal had a sit-down with Donnie about a week ago. They published highlights and a recap of the interview.

..... they never posted the full transcript. There was a reason, as Donnie was basically left to ramble on and on with zero question or pushback on anything. It was bonkers as usual.

So that interview transcript was sent around the WSJ newsroom, but still never was published. Evidentally, someone at WSJ had enough, leaked the full transcript to Politico, and published it. Politico scooped WSJ on the transcript of the WSJ's own interview.

Golden age of journalism in progress.

PRESIDENT TRUMP: I want to achieve growth. We’re the highest-taxed nation in the world, essentially, you know, of the size. But we’re the highest-taxed nation in the world. We have – nobody knows what the number is. I mean, it used to be, when we talked during the debate, 2 ½ trillion (dollars), right, when the most elegant person – right? I call him Mr. Elegant. I mean, that was a great debate. We did such a great job. But at that time I was talking $2 ½ trillion. I guess it’s 5 trillion (dollars) now. Whatever it is, it’s a lot more. So we have anywhere from 4 to 5 or even more trillions of dollars sitting offshore.

And later...

So I deal with foreign countries, and despite what you may read I have unbelievable relationships with all of the foreign leaders. They like me. I like them. You know, it’s amazing. So I’ll call, like, major – major countries, and I’ll be dealing with the prime minister or the president. And I’ll say, how are you doing? Oh, don’t know, don’t know, not well, Mr. President, not well. I said, well, what’s the problem? Oh, GDP 9 percent, not well. And I’m saying to myself, here we are at like 1 percent, dying, and they’re at 9 percent and they’re unhappy. So, you know, and these are like countries, you know, fairly large, like 300 million people. You know, a lot of people say – they say, well, but the United States is large. And then you call places like Malaysia, Indonesia, and you say, you know, how many people do you have? And it’s pretty amazing how many people they have. So China’s going to be at 7 or 8 percent, and they have a billion-five, right? So we should do really well.

As someone who was born and raised in Florida, it's got a little bit of everything you could ever want in a state. Deep south towns like Alabama. Liberal cities like NY. Spanish people like Texas. And crazy people like the White House. Most states have one, maybe two of those things. Florida has a lot of all of it.

Florida is the third most populated state after California and Texas and has a population equivalent to Finland, Norway, and Sweden combined. Florida's open records law also makes it easy for journalists to find weirdness.

quote:

You'll notice something when you read so many "Weird Florida" news stories. They almost always include the phrase "according to the arrest report."

As journalists, all we have to do in most cases is call the police department and ask for an arrest report, and the cops are required to give it to us. Nowadays a lot of cops simply email the reports, and some departments even post arrest records online. Some of the more dedicated weird-Florida-news reporters go through batches of arrest reports at a time.

Q: What do POTUS Trump and D&D have in common?

A: A will to compulsory depopulation of impoverished rural America




quote:

But I said to Gary, I said, you know, Gary, you go to certain sections and you’re going to need people to work in these massive plants that we’re getting, that are moving in. Where do we have the people? You know where we have the people? In New York state that can’t get jobs, in many other places that can’t get jobs. And people are going to have to start moving. They’re going to move to Colorado and they’re going to move to Iowa and Wisconsin and places where – like if Foxconn goes to Wisconsin, which is one of the places they’re very strongly considering – but if Foxconn goes to Wisconsin and they have a very low rate and the governor’s done an excellent job, you’re going to have a situation where you got to get the people. But they’re going to start moving. And I’m going to start explaining to people when you have an area that just isn’t working – like upper New York state, where people are getting very badly hurt – and then you’ll have another area 500 miles away where you can’t – you can’t get people, I’m going to explain you can leave, it’s OK, don’t worry about your house.

You know, a lot of them don’t leave because of their house. Because they say, gee, my house, I thought it was worth 70,000 (dollars) and now it’s worth nothing. It’s OK. Go, cut your losses, right?

It's this.

Also, Florida is a swamp so it has to import most of the things you need to function economically.

Including people.

Since most people don't want to live in a hot, humid swamp, you get either the desperate or stupid. Florida imports its terrible and is very, very good at it.

Speaking as someone who was in Orlando from ages 14-24ish, there's also this double mind thing going on there culturally. Like, there's a bit of a self-image that thinks of itself as a cultural hub in the same way that CA or NY are, but at the same time it's an utter cultural wasteland (with the exception that utterly proves the rule being Disney) and the gap between those two things makes people Real Weird. A lot of ambition and ego with no place to vent it and the worst wages of any major city in the USA.
