    Of course he will. Pedophiles have to stick together, after all.

    Trump on Maxwell: “I wish her well.”

    Interesting that this is the only occasion where this blowhard shitheel doesn’t pretend to know everything about the subject.

      Right? No childish nicknames, no rage-fueled late night social media posting, no off kilter diatribes during an unrelated speech. He’s just, transparently cool with a child trafficker. It is so mind numbingly damning I’m split between being horrified and fascinated by how his supporters refuse to connect any dots.

    Trump responded, in part, regarding Maxwell, "I haven’t heard the name in so long. I’ll take a look at it. I’ll speak to the DOJ.

    That’s a name I haven’t heard in a long time.

    Am I missing something? Has anyone anywhere actually asked for the pardon for someone who committed sex trafficking?

    At this point, I’m starting to think that they should have put it in the Constitution that you cannot pardon anybody who you have a social/monetary/business connection to.

      Why allow pardons at all. Most countries don’t do this.

    Well. That’s weird.

    If you are a terrorist or a pedo aligned with Orange Jesus, you can rely on a pardon, I guess.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to “Mom! He’s bugging me!” and “I’m not touching you!” Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
