Another person for TheRUMP to pardon?

Milwaukee sheriff and ardent Trump supporter David Clarke resigns with a one-sentence letter

MILWAUKEE — Outspoken Milwaukee County Sheriff David Clarke, who built a following among conservatives nationally with his provocative social media presence and strong support of Donald Trump, resigned on Thursday.

Voces de la Frontera, an advocacy group for immigrants and low-wage workers, had sharply criticized Clarke for seeking authority for his deputies to perform the functions of immigration agents.

The tough-talking, cowboy hat-wearing firebrand made himself a darling of the political right through his brash social media presence, his staunch support for Trump’s crackdown on illegal immigration and his support for patrolling Muslim neighbourhoods.

A lengthy inquest into the dehydration death of a Milwaukee County Jail inmate earlier this year raised troubling questions about how Clarke managed the jail — just as the White House was said to be considering him. The Milwaukee County District Attorney’s Office is considering charges in the case, but not against Clarke, because prosecutors said he wasn’t directly involved in the events that led to the inmate’s death.


Sheriff Joe...eastern version?

Thanks for the link, however

I've read a couple of the first pages....they seem to spend more time talking about what they claim his predecessors done than WHAT HE HAS DONE....

Got a link that ONLY bashes TheRUMP without claims of "Hey the other guy did the same thing"?

Sorry 'bout the disappointment
Sep 1, 2017 5:39AM PDT

but you're getting the same types of responses here and it doesn't seem to discourage you. Why change? I don't give much credence to the link either but, if it keeps someone busy enough to not make trouble for someone else, it's worth it.

Sep 1, 2017 11:24AM PDT

that you don't understand the concept of a LINK in a post being available/provided to EVERYONE, JP? Or do you honestly believe he has to repeat the link directly to me?

No wonder you're a liberal.........

Let me 'splain it to you Lucy

provided to EVERYONE, ...BUT directed at ME.....

So I said

I hope you've provided/DIRECTED TONI H to the same link...the part that went "over YOUR head"......

Which would make Steven "fair and balanced"...Providing the same info to ALL parties involved in the subject he brought to the conversation.....Thus my subject line

So, that would be Steven providing the same info to YOU...the person that usually responds to my RUMP rants

Now go eat your breakfast and maybe I'll take you to the playground....unless you want to play here....

It's not like Seven gave you that link
Sep 2, 2017 7:49AM PDT

in a private message, JP..........How many times do other people provide links 'directly' to a person in a response to that person's post, but the entire world of CNET members get the link at the same time........IF they are interested in reading it? I've already eaten, thank you, and YOUR playground has a foundation of bull, so NO thank you. I don't wish to share your environment.

That's good...AND performed your ablutions?

Moving on....

RE:IF they are interested in reading it?

So, did you read it?....

Did you think ANY of it applied to YOU..or did you think it applied ONLY to me?

OR are you a TRUMPette, and don't want to read/hear other opinions?

You read it and it hit too close to home for you, so you didn't respond about the info in the link?

RE: I don't wish to share your environment.

You're here responding to me aren't you?

Most of the links given by others who

Nice to see a bit of Welsh. My friend and I were discussing unsolicited 'phone calls mainly from Asia. We agreed the best deterrent was to speak Welsh to them with good results. However, I'm now wating for Patagonia to start. Wink

Find out where one of the active JW's live. Get about 5 friends, all who will pretend to be door canvassing, each for a different religion. Catholic, Orthodox, Jewish Reform, Lutheran, black Yahweh church, and of course a Muslim. Each day of the week have them go by with some printed material and praising Moses, the Pope, Allah, Mohammed, Yahweh, etc. Make sure to always do it right during suppertime. Make sure to ring the door 3 times within 30 seconds, to show how important you consider your mission. Play it up good, have some fun in return. They are.

Early 1980s James.
Sep 9, 2017 3:24PM PDT

I had a knock on the door. I opened it and there was a guy in a suit with a briefcase. Before I could say a word he said in a loud voice "I have come to bring Jesus into your world".
I looked over his shoulder and there was a second man in a suit with shoulder length hair and a beard outside my garden gate. So I said to the guy at the door, "is that him standing by the gate"?
He said "there's no point talking to you is there"? A simple no sufficed.
Just to clarify, I am a christian and went to a faith school.
