(33,384 posts)Whereas Obama was overly cautious and circumspect, President Asshole is a malignant narcissist with a persecution complex and minimal impulse control.
He'll soon do worse. This is what Autocrats do.

(39,343 posts)He's already done Arpaio, Scooter Libby, DSouza, and a couple of other losers. He has zero interest in justice but is sending messages that he and his kind are above the law in the hopes that people will not testify against him.

(39,343 posts)It was more to the others that he's already pardoned (Libby, DSouza, Arpaio). He's flaunting his pardon power and sending messages to anyone who might testify against him. Part of that flaunting might also be to, as I mentioned, empty the repukes from prison and clear the records of those already out.

(3,363 posts)He was sentenced in 2012, so he's been there for 6 years. He's not eligible for parole until 2024. Looks like he's getting out early though.

(3,363 posts)Nothing upsets me more than unfairness and trump is just letting convicted criminals walk free to protect himself.
It's so blatantly corrupt and there isn't a thing we can do about it. I want out of this cesspool of a country.

(5,233 posts)Don't know about Martha. But he's trying to get pardons into our heads so when he does it we won't notice too much.

(37,428 posts)This is a measure of how frightened he is, no of how much he cares about his reality-show pals.

(31,120 posts)his political enemies arrested or shot is because he hasn't achieved what putin has , yet.
ONLY reason.
All of you WILL lose your homes once he does this, by the way.
You own your own home you say? WHO SAYS ?
