“As millions of people in TX and LA are prepping for the hurricane, the President is using the cover of the storm to pardon a man who violated a court’s order to stop discriminating against Latinos and ban courageous transgender men and women from serving our nation’s Armed Forces. Then he ran to Camp David,” Schumer, of New York, said in a series of tweets. “The only reason to do these right now is to use the cover of Hurricane Harvey to avoid scrutiny. So sad, so weak.”

Yep, yep, Trump ordered the storm to hit the Gulf Coast, just so he could use it to hide.

Let's say for sake of argument, he didn't do that. What exactly do you expect Trump to do about a hurricane?

Hush hush, the world is ending, CNN told me.

Not use the death and destruction as a distraction to push through his despicable policies unscrutinised...

I mean you're being pretty fucking dishonest by pretending you didn't know that was my implication.

World is ending world is ending derp herm derp

Another deliberate misinterpretation of what I said.

If you're so sure I'm wrong then why not attack my arguments instead of beating on strawmen.

>President Trump used hurricane
>President Trump used pardon

And more confusing. You guys are not really the best at making points.

"Trump will make an announcement on Arpaio at ‘appropriate’ time".

I would have liked the announcement to be made in Phoenix:
"There was blame on both sides, however... I will pardon the racist side ".

.....holy bat shit batman

arpaio is a piece of shit who went way too far with his inmates. nonetheless, it is ridiculous that courts ordered him to stop profiling latinos when he was looking for illegal immigrants. guess what judge sherlock, 99% of all illegal immigrants in arizona are latinos. if a sheriff wants to find them, controlling lilly white 80 y/o grannies and chinese kids at the same rate as young latino males is obviously the best way to do it.

so... while arpaio would have deserved punishment for the way he treated people, the act for which he was sentenced was disobeying a completely and utterly retarded court order which intentionally put political correctness over efficient police work. pardoning arpaio for violating this order is morally justified in my book, no matter what one might otherwise think of arpaio as a person or of his inhumane treatment of inmates.
