Raul Grijalva on the pardon of Arpaio:

[panader0]

"This is an abuse of the presidential pardon and a full-throated endorsement of
selected racial prosecution and bigotry. If you're wronged by law enforcement
this president doesn't have your back. Racist vigilantism has a champion
in the White House. This sets a sad precedent that only further divides
our nation."

1. Right or wrong

People will start defending themselves to the people entrusted to "protecting and serving".
This will herald in anarchy.

3. Sooner or later, we will realize we are on our own.

I fear a violent future.

6. Trump should be impeached for this, he is pardoning racism and white nationalism.

9. A vile, unrestrained abuse of the pardoning power.

He has weakened the judicial branch, done great harm to The Constitution and he's just getting started.

7. Mueller's investigation is in a race

Mueller's investigation is in a race with the fate of our Democratic Republic in the balance.

I just hope he begins prosecutions before martial law is declared and we become a Dictatorship/OPEN Kleptocracy.

The longer Trump goes unchecked, the more he will blast well past the norms of any moral person. In the name of hate and evil and stupidity and fear and ignorance and greed and sociopathy.

And we all let it happen. And the handwriting has been on the walls for the last thirty years.

Hardly anybody I know gives a rats ass about our mentally ill kleptocrat in diapers and our morally bankrupt Republicans. We're mostly sheeple.

8. Mueller is a very smart guy.

He has to know the importance of expedience. And yes, the fate of our nation
may well hang in the balance. I'm hoping for some moves this coming week.

10. re Pardon

I have read somewhere that there are conditions to a 'pardon', it must be reviewed and a wait of 5 years. Anyone else heard this?

11. Some good info in this OP by Atman:

12. Paul rocks! Unfortunately, tRump could show up at a KKK rally...

And his 34% will still vote for the racist. They drank the koolaid long ago.

Our charge is coming up with a compelling message to get indie and fence sitters to vote FOR DEMS in 2018!
