What a crock of shit. Blago is the definition of the swamp. It doesn't get anymore corrupt than attempting to sell a vacant Senate seat to the highest bidder.
Oh wait it does, because he also tried to withhold an $8 million grant to a fucking children's hospital because the hospital CEO refused to donate to his gubanetorial campaign.

Shit hairs stick together

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

What's next, appoint Anthony Weiner as the FCC Chairman? -
If you can't see Trump has a soft spot for dude's with awful hair I can't help you

The Weiner voting bloc is YUGE.GreenRiverGatorz said:

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 -

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.RaceBannon said:He did 8 years

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.GreenRiverGatorz said:

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.Sledog said:

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

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.

Most of Obama's were on the way out the door which is quite common really

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.SFGbob said:

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

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.

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.LebamDawg said:

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.
