ask the bartender at the chicago tower about that. they would have the 411, even tho 99% of chicago wouldnt be caught dead in that building.

belong in jail with the corrupt republicans.

Grammar nazis, please note that I found the right preposition to end the sentence with.

Back to the dear former governor of IL, did he do anything? Collect any money? I think all he did was speculate on the phone about the monetary value of Sen. Obama's abandoned seat.

to solicit bribes), not guilty on one charge and the jury deadlocked after 10 days of deliberation on the two remaining charges in Federal Court.

Beyond that level of specificity, you'd have to research the full records. I do know that there was not a lot of doubt expressed--even by Democrats (or ESPECIALLY by Democrats) at the time that he'd been fairly tried nor of his guilt.

And that's one of the (many) big differences between Democrats and republicans

Republicans will give a free pass to anything (even pedophilia!), if one of theirs is busted for it.

Democrats, not so much. Throw all the criminals in jail, no matter what side they're on.

Nader, Epstein, Moore...who's next, ya scumsuckin bastards

It's almost become a job qualification amongst the Republicans in government.

I needed it.

Let's be honest, did Democrats even care about Rob Blogojevich back before he went to prison? I seem to remember him being written off as a joke back when the pardon story first broke.

What a great reason to pardon him, Trump.

would infuriate both Illinois Democrats and Illinois Republicans. Go ahead Mr. President. I dare you.

Isn't this the genius who said firing Comey would be a win-win?

Another reason Kushner shouldn't be advising anybody about anything.

thinks that pardoning that Blagojevich guy will have any impact on us one way or another. Re-adjust the thinking cap, son.

differences between Democrats and Republicans....
Democrats are for REAL justice and truth. We will go after and take down ANY buttwipe or crook, even one of our own.
Republicans,OTOH, protect, coverup, promote and elect them.

that Kushner plans to use as a Bait and Switch tactic later on. Must think the Tax Assessor in Chic Town will cut his Daddy in Law some slack.

Releasing him early only since Comey helped indict him is a loser.....just like Tumpkins!

Trying to paint us all as crooks like them?

And shouldn't he be in prison?

Dude literally sold Obama's Senate seat. The one figure in the Democratic party that literally everybody agrees on being good. Blago sold his legacy. Let the jackass rot in jail.

Celebrity Apprentice

A criminal is a criminal, no matter the party.

a place at Harvard that you can't fix stupid.

Go ahead and cut your nose off to spite your face!

No wonder Trump likes this idea. Kushner is clueless.

In the crafting of a baking-soda-and-vinegar volcano.

How he keeps getting put on complicated government projects is beyond me.

Many, many thanks for that!

I'm not sure kids do those kinds of science demonstrations anymore, but they certainly were a memorable part of my growing up.

the smartest guy in the room. Given the room.

His brain is as shallow as a puddle of dust on a wax floor.

While many think Blago's sentence was too long for being a sleaze that got pissed on tape because he could not get money for hawking a Senate seat, there is no love for him here.
We ended up with Quinn and suffered through Rauner. Blago is pretty much forgotten except for his hair.

I doubt many other people even know who he is. I think the aim is to rehash how once a Dem tried to enrich himself by selling a political appointment hoping they can pull a "both sides do it" while the shit continues to hit the fan with Trump/GOP corruption.

That fuckin snake tried to sell a goddamn Federal Senate Seat.
Yeah, maybe he got more than he would have if he hadn't pissed off the judge (so feel free to knock a year off his sentence if he's been a good boy while inside), but no, a pardon for his shady ass does NOT appeal to this Democrat .

Jared. Homie. UNIVERSAL HEALTHCARE appeals to me.

Kushner i mean... but could be drumpf too lol

He inherited all that money from someone who lied, cheated and stole to get it. In Kushner's case, he took over after the family business his father was incarcerated for fraud.

Link to tweet

Me too, because so many people were requesting that it be done.

Not everyone can open tweets at work or wherever they are. Without the text, they don't know what the post's about.

thanks.

Or whatever the hell it is that led him this idiotic idea.

Pardons for politicians and their lackeys is a Republican thing. If Trump wants to give some pardons, there are some prisoners with dubious convictions and some that got excessive sentences -- he should pardon them.

But, Blogojevich tried to steal and sell our democracy. His conviction was fair, and he and his champions need to shut up.

More likely most people would see it as corruption sticking up for corruption.

About a peace plan is now handing out political advice? Idiot.
