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."

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.

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.

Yo, so can someone explain to a non-American what the gently caress is up with Florida? I mean besides the old people, Cuban exiles, and a depressing amount of swampland.

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.

someone break it down for me. what do people theorize would happen if we just.... left afghanistan? not leaving a small group of US troops behind. i mean 100% of all US assets out.

if the answer is gas prices would go up, then that's the answer. if the answer is all of america would die due to terrorist attacks, then that is the answer. but what do "experts" or whatever think?

The Senate has now adjourned until early September, with pro forma sessions active until then to prevent recess appointments (the usual).

That means a month of town halls, Donnie sucking up all the DC stories, and a mad rush to fund the government, raise the debt ceiling, and figure out what to do about Obamacare by October 1st. The House is only in session for 15 out of those days.
