Support NeoGAF

[Acorn]

Holy hell.

Not even waiting until the end of his term lol.

Why would he? This is the shit that gets his base hard.

 

[Loudninja]

Of course he did.

A racist piece of crap supporting another who knew.

 

[MechDX]

Right when hurricane Harvey hit Cat 4.....

Distractions

 

[ElectricBlanketFire]

Why are presidents even allowed to pardon anyone? It's just used as a bullshit get out of jail free card for their buddies.

Obama used it for good.

 

[Skatterd]

Shit must be going down next week or something

 

[PandaPandaPanda]

not sure why people are surprised

it's been hinted at all week and trump is a complete asshole

so this should be to no surprise of anybody

 

[Zeus Molecules]

I like that they didn't give a reason for the pardoning

Can't say "I respect his racism"

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

Might as well pardon Chris Cantwell next.

 

[rjinaz]

I knew it was coming, I didn't know it would be this soon. Trump gives no fucks. Just involved in a racism controversy but then goes right into pardoning a criminal racist. He truly believes he is the untouchable God Emperor his Trumpers tell him he is.

 

[djkimothy]

There it is.

 

[Strike]

Fuck both of them. I hope they get theirs in the end.

 

[Kusagari]

Dude seriously put it out hoping it wouldn't be covered because of the hurricane.

Piece of shit.

 

[BoogieWoogie]

Every minute he spent on this and the trans ban was a minute he didn't spend on making sure people were safe from a fucking hurricane.

 

[wrongway]

fucking lol. Absolute human garbage.

 

[Toth]

This one is going to have significant blow back regardless of when he announced it. Absolutely disgusting.

 

[Loudninja]

Dude seriously put it out hoping it wouldn't be covered because of the hurricane.

Piece of shit.

He is a goddamn coward.

 

[kittenbreath]

Holy hell.

Not even waiting until the end of his term lol.

...or is he?

 

[Flo_Evans]

Ghost Bannon?

Why does he think this is a good idea lol.

 

[Locke562]

This would be a massive political scandal for any other president.

 

[D i Z]

He pretty much said that he would. And we all know the reasons why. Waiting for the Hurricane to hit was a bitch move though.

 

[everyday math]

What
A
Piece
Of
Shit

 

[GhaleonEB]

Expected, but none the less: Trump is a cowardly sack of shit.

 

[mike6467]

Shit must be going down next week or something

I'd like to think so, but part of me wonders if he's starting to realize he actually can do whatever he wants. We've reached saturation and nothing has happened, why would he slow down?

 

[airmangataosenai]

Because of course he did.

 

[HStallion]

Trump's gonna try to pardon Robert E Lee next.

 

[ForsakenLotus]

I don't understand the point of a pardon law and procedures if a president can just pardon whoever they want. Maybe I'm just really misinformed on the pardon process, but I didn't even think Arpaio was even eligible for pardon.

 

[rjinaz]

'I don't have time to discuss this, there is a hurricane emergency if you haven't heard. You FAKE NEWS people are ruthless in your witch hunt.'

Trump is just dying to be able to call out the media for bringing this up during a crisis despite the fact that HE brought it up during the crisis.

 

[UrokeJoe]

From him believable, but fucking unbelievable. This fucking guy. He's just fucking with us.

 

[Shadow Puppetry]

When does he pardon his family and himself?

Next week.

 

[Holmes]

Fucker.

 

[Ithil]

Disgusting stuff.

 

[kirblar]

I'd like to think so, but part of me wonders if he's starting to realize he actually can do whatever he wants. We've reached saturation and nothing has happened, why would he slow down?

Yup. There are going to be plenty more pardons where this came from.

 

[paperboywriter]

Good work AMERICA

 

[Feep]

Disgusting.

 

[Bob Coffee]

Yo Arizona time to file some state charges eh? Just sayin.

 

[wenis]

Maybe he was thinking no one was paying attention as a CAT 4 weather system is gunna touch down in Texas soon.

 

[Shoeless]

It's disappointing and yet, at the same time, impressive that racism is the one political policy that Trump is actually willing to take a stand on and show some genuine human passion for. He's clearly not in this for the money, it's something he actually believes in.

It's terrifying that a significant chunk of the American population shares that vision, and of all the things, THIS is what they are willing to fight for.

 

[Soroc]

Has a president pardons anybody before this early into their term let alone not waiting until they are on the way out the door?

 

[Marvie_3]

Fuck this piece of shit.

 

[Bam Bam Baklava]

This is a sick, indefensible joke. He was found guilty by a jury of his peers.

 

[Slayven]

America:"Racists undefeated since 1776"

 

[BoogieWoogie]

I don't understand the point of a pardon law and procedures if a president can just pardon whoever they want. Maybe I'm just really misinformed on the pardon process, but I didn't even think Arpaio was even eligible for pardon.

Because again, when all these laws were being written about the power of the President, they banked on the President not being an inhuman monster who gets all his news from a propaganda box.

Fuck this country.

 

[Wag]

What's to stop Trump from secret making deals with lawmakers/enforcement to commit illegal actions in his favor? They'll know thei'll be pardoned.

 

[LifEndz]

Unfucking real. A presidential pardon of a bigot that abused his office to discriminate and abuse those in his custody. And why? All because he supported Trump. Fucking disgusting.

 

[CheesecakeRecipe]

The law clearly does not matter anymore.

 

[Flo_Evans]

Just busted in over storm coverage on CNN.

 

[Alligatorjandro]

Fuck

 

[Nipo]

This is a sick, indefensible joke. He was found guilty by a jury of his peers.

Isn't almost everyone who receives a presidential pardon?

 

[shiba5]

Trump: Do things I like, even illegal things, and I will pardon you.


The rule of law is dead.
