So the President is once again being scrutinized...

Aug 27, 2017 7:42AM PDT

for pardoning Arpaio when the man wasn't even given a fair trial. Judicial system was off the beaten path, but...

And where was McPain, Ryan, Fake, the rest of Congress, Hollywood and the media when Obama pardoned thousands of illegal immigrant convicts (many of which were dangerous felons), threw open prison cells and turned them loose? Where were they when Gov Holier Than Thou Terry MacAuliffe pardoned thousands of convicts (many of which were dangerous felons), conveniently ahead of the 2016 election? What about reports a few years back of Obama pardoning thousands of felons because he thought drug offenses carried sentences too high for the crime? Americans live in fear today wondering where all those thousands of felons are and if they live in our towns. HRC’s ‘creepy’ husband made some questionable pardons, of course, but that was different, right?
Of course, the usual suspects in the Republican party jump at every chance to denounce this President. Seems if they have all kinds of time to run to microphones to criticize, they ought to get back to work.
“Weasels” is a polite term for these people, but for the sake of decency let’s use it. The weasels on our payroll need to understand that while they preen and pat themselves on the back, trying to one up the other on who can be the most insulting and disloyal, they endear themselves to each other, their lobbyists and the media. However, at some point they might want to take note that their employers aren’t impressed or amused. In fact, we are downright ticked off and intend to fire them next time they go on a ballot.
