   Mueller has yet to investigate whether Trump caused Harvey to cover this Pardon, it's way to early to Speculate OR Celebrate.

Do you think Dick Cheney would let Trump borrow his weather machine?

Kudos to Mr. Trump for doing this.

But... wait for the left to drum up some new charges and prosecute Sheriff Arpaio again.

Well, heck... in that case, just pardon him again!

He's just that kind of guy.

   The more reason to do it, it pisses them off.
Well, in that case, I think pardoning Arpaio is a great thing.

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Har!

No, I was wearing a set of Delegate credentials at a convention, and I was hurrying to a floor vote at the time.  Poor guy got in my way.   I didn't know until later when somebody told me "You just kicked Sheriff Joe n the shins!"  He apologized, so did I.  He was a really good sport about it.
I have a grandson who got in trouble down there in Maricopa County and got to be a guest for a short time--yep, pink skivvies and all. He said he'd never do that again. Kudos to Sheriff Joe, and I'm glad he got the pardon.

Brilliant if you ask me. How many tens of thousands of regressive liberals are looking skyward in Texas right now ..mouths agape...and drowning at President Trumps pardon of a Patriot?
Well, you described domestic turkeys to a 't'. Perfect analogy.

I'm not allowed to give Trump an accolade or thumbs up according to his posse of rabid followers.

But I like the pardon.

I don't know about that.  This place would look like a ship full of one-eyed pirates.

President Trump timed this pardon just before a Hurricane lands on TX, to bury the news as much as possible.

Or a Friday night news dump as they call them, along with Gorka resigning.

Even the press is mentioning this.

I'm just excited I recognize signs of strategic planning coming from the White House.  Unfortunately the message of the Administration, over the last 7 months, has often been the POTUS's twitter account...and too often that message has been spontaneously expressed poorly.

I hope I see more of this in the future, but I have little hope.
