    Heard two reports on the radio this morning about this. No mention that Blago is a Rat.

    No mention in the two that you heard? I’ve read others that do cite his party affiliation, though it’s whataboutism at best. Commuting the sentences of convicted corrupt politicians isn’t a good look.

    Though at this point in the election cycle, it’s just noise

    Which makes it all the more fucking stupid that Trump is doing this. What the fuck does he gain politically (nothing) and why the fuck does he even care about someone like Blago, who is so beneath contempt that even his inevitable book tour will flop.

    What's next, appoint Anthony Weiner as the FCC Chairman?

    The Weiner voting bloc is YUGE.

    Make YUGE Weiners great again.

    He did 8 years

    Trump has reduced lot of sentences. Signed a law

    One more corrupt Chicago pol on the streets won't bring down the republic

    The no bail laws and no charge for stealing less than 900 bucks are having a far worse effect

    You lie!!

    Not "whataboutism" at all. Just stating a fact.

    I'm impressed that at your age you're still flexible enough to do the mental gymnastics needed to convince yourself that this was anything but pure dumbfuckery on the part of 45.

    Pardoning Blago is small potatoes and doesn't matter in totality. But call it what it is - fucking stupid.

    Worse than having your political career assisted by domestic terrorists and your first run sponsered by socialists. Many didn't seem to mind that and never a peep.

    You could've just bumped any of the 10,000 Tug threads that proclaim Barry as metastatic cancer personified. Let's stay on topic Sle.

    Selective memory is always special and who mentioned Barry Soetoro? Hypocricy is all I'm poonting out. Read for comprehension.

    Here's a list. Gosh seems Trump is way behind!

    The KOMO in passing blurbs I saw this morning all said "pardoned." Commutation is better I guess.. Sark > Ty.

    This was the big one anyway for former Niner fans like me


    I would save the outrage for the Stone and Flynn pardons. You'll want a fresh supply ready to go

    True, there’s probably a skew from some media outlets which intentionally don’t mention he’s a Democrat just as some go out of their way to mention that he is.

    It’s why I get my news from my gardeners

    Andy McCarthy says Trump pardons, commutations were meant to draw contrast with Comey, McCabe

    So we’re calling the middle finger “contrast” now?

    Niners sucked. RAMS!!!

    Roman Gabriel, Jack Snow, Merlin Olson, Dave Elmendorf, Pat Studstill. Before they brought the faggy yellow into the uniforms.

    Pre-Seahawks days, you were either a Raider, Ram or 49er fan in the NW.

    Family from Wisconsin (dumb swedes) Packer fans as kids, did not like the new AFL - the black and blue division was always the toughest

    Edit - come to the tug for football talk

    There were outlier Vikings, Cowboys and Redskin fans. I knew one Green Bay fan. It was painful if the Bears were on. They were awful.

    I pulled for the Dolphins because the lesbo chick who knocked the fuck out of me playing Smear The Queer was a big Raider fan.
