Haha thats silly.

Lets use rich upper class Americans as the baseline.

Sorry, not silly, flat out stupid. Or something else...whats that word again...ah yes, racist.

How does "majority white population" equate to "rich upper class Americans"? Or is this some rebuttal that we could use that group instead? The point is that it's disingenuous to add in blacks and Hispanics and act like that means illegals are "better" or that it's in our interest to let them over.

I'd pardon them all if they'd just GTFO of the White House.

I wouldn't be that surprised if that's the bargain Trump tries to make in the end. Start stirring up shit, try and create the threat of mass unrest or violence in a lot of areas of the country and then try and make a deal where his successor doesn't go after him in exchange for calling off the dogs.

Probably depends on how scared Trump is of prosecution. There's a decent case to be made that the President can't pardon himself but it does seem like a quick way around that would be for Trump to pardon Pence (if necessary) and then resign, allowing Pence to pardon Trump. I don't know if Pence would go for it considering it would be one of the most ignominious acts of corruption in US history and he wouldn't stand to gain much of anything personally from it, but it's possible.

Good point, I was looking at it more in the fantasy land where it’s the end of Trumps second term, Pence has been running and thinks but isn’t sure he can become President.
I know this is a purely theoretical spot.

I guess the smart move would be wait until the election, if Pence wins it’s game on, if Pence loses does Pence know he will never be elected again?

Pence will obviously pardon him if it comes to that. Not that he'd be a better President, just that the gullible aren't putty in his hands.

I'm not so sure. If Trump wins two terms and then Pence wins then sure, I imagine that's pardon city.

What I was referring to is if Trump loses (or Pence loses). Does Pence take the presidency for one day just to pardon everyone? I'm not so sure as you're basically etching yourself into history as the perfect symbol of corruption and you don't even really get to be president. Not sure if I would take that deal.

Pence does appear to enjoy being cuck’d by Trump. I wouldn’t bet on what you are saying.
Last post regarding this, I brought up something way off topic.

I doubt Trump will survive to run in 2020. If he does, he'll likely lose. The country will be really sick of his shit by then, I'm sure.

O'Keefe? The guy hasn't once produced a factual video. He is always lying and fabricating horseshit.

It is proven. He is a known phony. Why do you continue to believe what is widely known to be the work of a lying piece of shit? Why do you support O'Keefe's mission that you are dumb enough to believe his nonsense?

Phoney video? I wonder if Omar Smith is still on Gillum's campaign staff? What's Manny Orozco-Ballestas doing for Gillum these days? Typical Progresshevik. When presented with evidence, respond with ridicule.

Looks like Andrew Gillum's campaign said hold my beer. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=di3WRRHRWlE

Ugh I looked at the low energy, low IQ posts on that video. Ugh.

My favorite was: the Democrats are raising interest rates to tank the economy, hurt my brothers car sales.

Such low energy. Don’t they know the Fed is what sets interest rates, don’t they know the Chairman of the Fed was appointed by Trump and voted in by the Republican Congress?
Lazy people are so frustrating to deal with.

Correction first guy says “The corrupt Fed” second guy seems to think it’s a Democrat plot.
My original point stands

Yes, O'Keefe was also the idiot that dressed up like a pimp and made the fake ACORN videos which I'm sure you also believe are true, even after they were debunked.

O'Keefe has never been in the evidence-dissemination industry. Not sure what you are on about.

and the fake video about selling aborted fetus parts.

and his many fake phone calls in an attempt to "cvck" journalists that were reporting on him. ...he's just not very good at it. He's made himself famous as an incompetent creator of laughably amateur nonsense "sting" propaganda. But he keeps trying, because he is convinced (and for good reason), that the people that support him are actually dumber than he is. See: Brandonbull.

Posting that vid is pure duh-version. Words in private by Gillum's staff are in no way comparable to Trump's blatant fear mongering & race baiting.

You're not fooling anybody but yourself & I'm being generous in saying that.

He also reentered the US during GWB's administration.

Either Joe Apaio and GWB are Democrats or (surprise surprise) The Donald is lying again.

Dog whistle ad and false, all designed to generate fear. Typical Trump.

aaaannnnnndddd Trump shits on another ally

You were beginning to sound like Buck Rogers talking about Killer Kane. It's one of the earliest symptoms.

Actually it was a Joe Kenda phrase from Homicide Hunter. BTW, we had the TDS thing done several days ago and that didn't work out well because it's, well, pretty stupid. But hey if you think that will work, go for it. If you like Presidents grasping for power in ways unprecented by assuming the role of the SCOTUS by unilaterally defining what the Constitution means with no restraint, then go for it. After all some complained about Obama, so why not go for the whole thing when you like the guy. It's just fancy toilet paper to Trump.

It was Al Gore (D) that first brought up weekend passes for violent criminals, including Mr. Horton. You know Mr. Horton, the poor incarcerated murderer that got out of prison on a furlough and left it to brutally assault and rape a woman?
Misleading post. Actually this is what happened...
In reviewing this history, it’s important to make some crucial distinctions. Gore never mentioned that Horton was black; indeed, he never mentioned Horton by name. He merely drew attention, correctly, to the damaging fact that Dukakis had tolerated a furlough program for especially violent criminals in his state even after a horrific incident strongly suggested this was a bad policy.

So an accurate post is somehow misleading? Do you work for Politifact?
Your post was intentionally misleading & distractionary. Dems didn't start anything wrt Bracamontes, the subject of Trump's video. It attempts to stir the same sort of racial animosity as the Willie Horton ads of 1988, which was 30 years ago. It's the same as the Yellow Peril routine of the late1800's, the anti-Irish routine of the 1840's & the anti-semitic sentiment at the beginning of WW2. Only the targets have changed.
