In reply to the discussion: Trump pardons controversial former Arizona Sheriff Joe Arpaio [View all]Augiedog
(2,541 posts)14. He was still convicted! That matters. He will have to accept a pardon from a fascist! That matters!
This will be attached to him for all time. He will go down in history just as the other racist shitbags have. Again, that matters. He is small potatoes and people will be pissing on his grave soon. He is old, mean, nasty and not long for this world. This is false victory for pretend human. Nothing more.

Don't be so sure. The Fuhrer-in-Chief pisses off Rethugs almost as much as he does Dems.

Exactly. He'll need that pardon power for most of his family and outlaw in-laws.

Ex-Sheriff Joe is one of Trump's "very fine" people on the side of white supremacists.

Great link. Republicans are very good at using constitutional gray areas to their advantage.

In theory, he could have his goons go out and kill his opponents (us) and then just pardon them.

He's cemented his standing as a racist. All his unity crap is demonstrably worthless.
