Oh my god, I love how he thinks in his head that this makes him look tough.


Also lol at Dinesh getting a pardon. He's still guilty.
Accepting the pardon also means accepting guilt. Sherrif Joe didn't know that.

My guess is he is sending a message to Cohen, who probably will get hemmed up with campaign finance crimes (among others). D'Souza got busted for $20k in illegal donations.

Being a convicted felon severely curtails your rights in several ways.

Still, you're right, it's a propaganda stunt for the base.

Cohen is hosed either way. NY State is closing in on him, and the plea deal they secured with his former business partner specifically requires him to comply with both state and federal investigations. There's no reason to think they wouldn't do something similar with Cohen, so the pardon stick isn't going to make his problems (or Trump's) go away.

Both Arpaio and D'souza were already found guilty under the law, so there's no need to try to make the accepting guilt bit a thing.

https://www.cnbc.com/2018/05/31/trump-administration-will-put-steel-and-aluminum-tariffs-on-canada-mexico-and-the-eu.html

"The Trump administration will put tariffs on steel and aluminum imports from Canada, Mexico and the European Union, the latest action in a string of protectionist policies to crack down on alleged trade abuses.

The tariffs of 25 percent on steel imports and 10 percent on aluminum imports will take effect at midnight Thursday, Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross told reporters."

Maybe they'll change their mind again, who knows anymore.

Totally forgot Cohen was facing the NY Court system, hard to keep everything straight these days.

He sort of learns something new every day when someone tells him "no" or slaps him down. But yes, he hasn't proactively learned anything the entire time he's been on the job.

That story got real weird. Headline in Twitter says he was unarmed, but when they found his body he had an empty handgun in his back pocket. First they knocked and he opened the garage door, but then they shot through the closed garage door to kill him. Wtf.

Edit:

quote:

Around 3 p.m., a mother picking children up from an elementary school heard loud music coming from the garage of a home nearby. She called in a noise complaint.

I wonder if this nosy bitch knows she got someone murdered — or cares.

There's a story somewhere about a white dude who called in some neighborhood complaint and an unarmed black guy in his neighborhood got gunned down on his porch. White guy is significantly more hesitant to call the cops now because holy poo poo are you serious?

Not making that up, real thing I read. Can't recall where or when though.
