Dem senator: Arpaio pardon violates Trump's oath of office
By Josh Delk - 08/26/17 11:43 AM EDT

Sen. Ron Wyden (D-Ore.) on Saturday called President Trump's pardon of controversial former Sheriff Joe Arpaio a violation of the president's oath of office.

"This strikes at the heart of rule of law in America. It violates his oath of office," Wyden wrote in a tweet.

Yet somehow, granting pardons to FALN terrorists does not.

We're in an odd place right now in America.  You can't trust the media for truthful accounts of ANY event or incident.  MSN has discontinued its comments sections due to extreme anti-leftist bias by millions of Americans.  Can't have that.  Look for Yahoo to follow suit and eliminate their comments sections, as well....since most of them are also voicing pro-Trump or anti-leftist sentiments.

Just this early am I read an article about Trump pardoning Arpaio.  98% of the comments were in favor of Trump's pardon and justifying it.  One commenter even mentioned how the judge was the one abusing the law, since Arpaio had requested a jury trial and had been denied by that judge. 

Oddly enough, there is now an anti-Trump and anti-pardon article there where the previous one was.  No sign of the previous article ANYWHERE. It has disappeared. I should have screen-shotted it and the comments section, but wasn't quite awake yet. Natch....the new article is 98% anti-Trump and anti-pardon.

This is a game that is being played on us now.  A very serious game.  And the fascist left intends to win it.

No quarter given to the enemy within...ever.

How a democrat could say that with a straight face is amazing.

I've been using Yahoo as my search engine because I thought Google was so biased.

Yahoo is the place from hell.

Every single day they have the most utterly horrible, nasty stories about Trump which are either entirely made up (someone's opinion) or so slanted they are in danger of falling down.

Yes, it's all out war and we have to choose sides whether we like our side or not.

By ignoring the Trump supporters (removing favorable comments.etc) they make it seem like the entire world hates Trump.

I'd like to shove their second amendment rights up some sensitive part of their anatomy.

That needs to be repeated.  Read it again folks - because this is the very serious truth we now exist in.  Nearly all information avenues are corrupted and massaged to provide the results the Leftist Narrative demands.  If they do not like the trend, they erase it - and put something else in it's place with paid trolls to comment and create the sheep instinct by the pile-on factor.

You do not find anywhere that the Free Speech Protesters in Boston two weeks ago had nothing to do with White Supremacy, the they were Tea Party Conservatives and Christians who planned that event back in June.  Nope.  The narrative is that they are White Supremacists and 40,000 marched against them, not the fact 40,000 were marching against free speech IN AMERICA.

Now the media narrative will have you believe 80% of the American people want all monuments to Southern heritage taken down along with any reminders of White Privilege, including monuments to Christopher Columbus, George Washington, Jefferson and anyone else the Bolsheviks want torn down and removed.  Books and movies are next.  Soon you will not be able to buy Gone With The Wind anymore and no one will show or sell it.  And the media narrative will create the illusion that all your fellow neighbors and countrymen WANT that stuff gone.
Fart for freedom, fart for liberty and fart proudly.  - Benjamin Franklin

...Obsta principiis—Nip the shoots of arbitrary power in the bud, is the only maxim which can ever preserve the liberties of any people. When the people give way, their deceivers, betrayers and destroyers press upon them so fast that there is no resisting afterwards. The nature of the encroachment upon [the] American constitution is such, as to grow every day more and more encroaching. Like a cancer, it eats faster and faster every hour." - John Adams, February 6, 1775

I've been posting here on this forum for awhile and I have refrained and called DEMS and RINO's 'liberal mental midgets', but "liberal idiots" is so much more appropriate.   :shrug:
I Believe in the United States of America as a Government of the people, by the people, for the people; whose just powers are derived from the consent of the governed; a democracy in a republic; a sovereign nation of many sovereign states; a perfect union one and inseparable; established upon those principles of freedom, equality, justice and humanity for which American patriots sacrificed their lives and fortunes.  I therefore believe it is my duty to my country to love it; to support its Constitution; to obey its laws to respect its flag; and to defend it against all enemies.

I think perhaps it would be wise for those conservatives/republicans still harboring antipathy towards Pres.Trump for winning the presidency, to reexamine their position. In light of the mounting evidence of a concerted assault by the media, leftists, democrats and republican NeverTrumpers, on Trump's character, his mental state, his fitness for office and all the rest of it.

It's time to admit that two years of negative stories, fake news and lies about him have had a toll, making it much more difficult for him to pass his conservative agenda through congress.

There are things I don't like about Trump. People might be surprised. I could fill out quite a list. But, why bother, no one here would believe me, because I've said positive things about Trump. Once you've done that you're branded as wearing knee pads. And that gets quite old.

It does and we need to confront that.

Not in an ugly way, but very strong and positive.  Do not let anyone get by with that even once.

There are people here who simply cannot stand anything positive being said about Trump ... we will never be able to reach them, but they are few and others are just conditioned to react that way.

We could spend all day and all night and have a 50 page thread about things we don't like about Trump but that would do no earthly good.

It's become more and more obvious that it's an all out war now and we need to choose sides.

   On the flip side of that coin is The people that can't stand anything Negative being said about Trump and take it as a personal offence. 
   But in the end, it all comes out in the wash.

Well, very dang few and we need them (unless they start in on Cruz again... in which case I will go totally ape on them.)

Today I'm totally defending Trump.  Although he did fail to stop the hurricane from attacking my beloved Galveston, he did his best.

I am so mad today at the media and the lame-brain liberals that Trump is looking good to me in comparison.

That's the bottom line, and I see the fools on Bookface condemning Trump for this action are making exactly that case:  Arpaio is worse than the thousands of drug dealers Obama turned loose.

I'm sure Sen. Wyden thinks that sending 150 billion dollars to the terrorist government in Iran without the approval of Congress is not a violation of the oath of office.


What Trump did was perfectly legal. However, Obama violated the oath of office in real terms every single day he was in office. And yet, everybody, Republican and Democrat, just whistled and looked the other way.

Precisely. The dog that doesn't bark knows its owner. And the GOP didn't bark, not in any meaningful way. You can't tell me all that investigating didn't turn up serious improprieties, unless they didn't ask the right people, or their investigation skills suck. If the latter, then the job should be turned over to someone capable.

The bottom line is that it is a criminal conspiracy writ large, encompassing both sides of the aisle.
