Daily Caller is the name of the Tabloid. I saw on rationalwiki it is apparently styled after the Daily Heil...sorry, the Daily Mail.

They heckled Obama a while back, shouting at him, "Why do you prefer foreigners over Americans?"

I'll just put two things from this poll here:

When asked who they would prefer to have as President, Barack Obama or Jefferson Davis, 56% of respondents replied Obama and 21% replied Davis, with 23% unsure. But among the 39% of respondents who voted for Donald Trump, 45% replied Davis and 20% replied Obama, with 35% unsure.

Also, if you look through the results, you'll find some interesting stuff about how favourably Jill Stein voters view Russia and Vladimir Putin. I would remind you that there were almost no Jill Stein voters who responded.

Trump pardoned Sheriff Joe.  He actually did it.  He just declared war on the Justice Department.

Ironbite-holy fuck.

How'd he declare war on the Justice Department? Art. 2, Sec. 2 makes it pretty clear (to me, anyway) that the President has a near-plenary pardon power.

"...he shall have Power to grant Reprieves and Pardons for Offenses against the United States, except in Cases of Impeachment."

And I'm pretty sure Joe Arpaio wasn't being impeached.

He just gave a big middle finger to any federal prosecutor.  So yeah, just declared war.

Ironbite-this is amazing.

Well, I don't know if he can give anyone a big middle finger. But apparently there's nothing wrong down there, so...

Anyway, it's only to the extent that they go after his friends, but you're right, this was a slap to the face to any federal prosecutor, and to the Latino community.

Not only that but it further cements Trump in the racist camp. By setting free a man who was a big spokesperson for the birther movement and someone who was big on racial profiling. I expect to see Arpaio given a position in Trump's cabinet.

Reminder: There is an imminent natural disaster in Texas at the moment. And we still have no FEMA director.

Don't you know? The storm's only going to hit all the Hispanics and blacks and sinners there. All the good God-fearin' 'Muricans will be fine! It's God's wrath on all the others for trying to swing the state to the Demoncrats!

Prediction: Trump's going to make Bush's handling of Hurricane Katrina look competent.

Prediction: Trump's approval rating won't drop as much due to this as Bush's did due to Katrina.

Well, Trump's already pretty close to rock bottom, so I think that's a fair prediction, just because it really CAN'T drop that much more.

It would be rather hilarious if he botched it and his approval rating went to like 12% or something.

That would only happen if he botched it badly enough that it killed two-thirds of his hardcore supporters or something.

Note that the pardon says Arpaio has done "more than 50 years of admirable service to our Nation, he is a worthy candidate for a presidential pardon."

Isn't the entire reason why he was in court that it WASN'T admirable service?
