You actually believe he was going to serve a full sentence. That's all anyone needs to know about your level of intelligence.

Blago served 8/14 years, That's about the average for liberal parole boards that free criminals. Am I cool with that? Ya.. He would have been paroled in a year or two anyway. Watching Anti-Trumpers lose their shit is hilarious.

If he was going to be out in a year or two, why cause a shitstorm over someone everyone hates? Let him serve his time and disappear.

I think it says something unflattering about Trump lovers, that they’re ok with the President commuting the sentence of an unapologetically corrupt politician for no discernible reason.

It says more about you Anti-Trumpers upset over Trump pardoning Blago, When Obama pardoned and commuted more sentences than any 5 Presidents combined. You Never said a world about Obama.
You Obama cultists cheered when Obama traded a deserter for 5 terrorists.
Now claim you were upset with Obama, Jussie. There's no reason I should doubt you.

I also don’t see you defending the decision itself, just that it’s not illegal (which, by the way, no one’s saying). He commuted the sentence of an unapologetically corrupt politician, a decision that delegates from that politician’s state begged him not to make. You ok with that?
0 ups, 5y
I’m not saying Trump did something illegal. I’m saying he did something that was wrong. VERY wrong.

You have no idea what you are talking about. Blago tried to auction off the community organizers Senate seat. He also pressured people for campaign donations. His defense "That's business as usual for Illinois". He dindu nuffin every other Democrat does in Illinois,

It's never about parties when it doesn't fit your narrative. But let's run with that.
A Republican President pardoned a Democrat, And you're upset, Not because of party lines, You're upset because... Truuump.

Dude, I’m upset because Blago didn’t get what he deserved. His sentence was appropriate, and a clear message to IL politicians (and the people they are supposed to represent) that “business as usual” is called corruption, is unacceptable, and carries consequences. If Obama had done this, I would have been livid. The only part that rankles me differently about Trump doing this is that he was just acquitted of charges of abuse of power. Any normal person would look at his situation and think, “ok, I should wait a bit before making a decision that makes people in my own party angry, since they’re the reason I still have this job.”

Trump was acquitted. Meaning he was innocent. It rankles you because you disagree.
Blago committed a crime and was sentenced to 14 years, He served 8. Take away his pardon, He is eligible for parole in 9 months. He would easily meet the requirements for a parole board. He wouldn't be a repeat offender because he will never hold an office again, He won't be able to attempt to sell another Senate Seat. So you and the others are upset about 9 months early release Or because of who pardoned him, It's easy to figure out which of the two you're upset about.

I lived in Illinois for the majority of my life, That is the way Illinois is run, The only way to fix it is to vote out the lifelong Democrats who run Illinois that way.s

Fun fact, Illinois is the only state that has had 2 Governors be sent to prison in the past 2 decades. Governor Ryan (R) And Blago (D)
Ryan is responsible for the death of 6 family members He was convicted of 18 felony corruption charges, He was sentenced to 6 1/2 years, He served 5. And you're upset Blago only served 8 years. No one died. Illinois voters are more upset over Ryan.

I was upset about Ryan too, but his sentence wasn’t commuted. Bush actually denied that request from Durbin. And yeah, I’m upset Blago only served 8 of the 14 he was sentenced. But that he did so because of a commutation is a slap in the face. It doesn’t matter who did it, it would be a slap in the face. Put aside impeachment, or the fact that it was Trump. Let’s say Obama did it, or Sanders, or Warren, or f-ing George Washington. I’d still be super pissed.

Like I said you aren't upset about 9 months Blago didn't serve, You're upset because it was Trump who pardoned Blago.. I don't believe you would have been upset if Obama pardoned Blago, You and every other Anti-Trumper, Obama-Apologists never said a word when Obama pardoned 212 people and commuted the sentences of 1,715 criminals.

You’ll notice I’m not all up in arms about the others he let off the hook on the same day, though I’m not terribly happy about them. Blago is different for me, personally. So yeah. I would have been super pissed if Obama had commuted his sentence.

You seem to be assuming all Democrats are the same, hold the same values, and have the same heroes/villains.

I noticed you Anti-Trump Obama cultists didn't say a word when Obama pardoned 212 people and commuted the sentences of 1,715 criminals. Not one single word. No week long fits, No Memes, Absolutely nothing.

I did notice how triggered you become when you bitch about anything Trump does. You've been bitching for days, It accomplished nothing, You're bitching about Blago until you are told what to be outraged by next.

You seem to to be assuming anyone cares what you Anti-Trumpers think or say. Most people stopped listening or caring years ago, People pay attention to you Anti-Trumpers the same way they pay attention to a child throwing a temper tantrum in a toy store.

There is a positive side to you Anti-Trumpers throwing your temper tantrums, You've shown how immature and unhinged you are, You make it easy for independence voters to see how detached from reality you are, And you provide daily material to create hilarious Memes.

Well, if so, then at least one party in this country won’t enthusiastically support a blatantly corrupt candidate in 2020. Cuz Republicans seem to be all in for 8 years of enabling corruption at its most blatant.

At least one party in this country enthusiastically supported a blatantly corrupt President from 2008-2016. That party said anyone who tried to expose the corruption was a racist.
You were ok with that cuz you're a Democrat.

That same corrupt party rigged the 2016 primary and stole debate questions.
You were ok with that cuz you're a Democrat
That party created sanctuary cities to protect criminals.
You're ok with that cuz you're a Democrat
That party believes hearsay is more factual than facts.
You're ok with that cuz you're a Democrat.
That party has said Illegal immigrants are more American than Americans.
You're ok with that cuz you're a Democrat.

I can go on & on, But at this point what difference does it make.

You already destroyed your own argument when you said "This isn’t about parties"
When you made it all about parties. You're a typical Democrat, Blinded by your own hypocrisy and hate.

So it was a politically motivated action, for the purposes of opposition research. And you’re ok with that?
2 ups, 5y
you do not know anything about the law do you?
example. FBI busts a mid level drug dealer,he is looking at 20 years, but if he gives up a bigger fish he walks or gets a reduced sentence, are you ok with that? because it happens 100 times a day...
Its how the Government works.

Are you OK with the pardoning of Mel Reynolds?

are you ok with the Marc Rich Pardoning(Bribe)?

the list can go on and on..

and uh, I like your sugar coating " opposition research" aka CRIMES... lol..

so, let me ask you this. If Blaggo has info on real crimes, much worse than what he did and he is willing to testify about said crimes, would you want him to?
0 ups, 5y,

If he had info on real crimes he would have used it a long time ago. Like, at his trial, to avoid a 14 year sentence. Or in the decade since. But no, he waits until now? Yeah right. If he had real information meriting presidential intervention, he wouldn’t have spent a day in jail in the first place.

Come back and gloat if you’re right.

Let’s assume you’re not, though. If getting him out early is a political favor that comes with a price tag, are you ok with that?

If he had info on real crimes he would have used it a long time ago. You really are gullible.

Obama pardoned 212 people and commuted the sentences of a further 1,715 people. Where you ok with that? Of course you were. You're a partisan hack suffering from TDS.

Here's the link I know you'll ignore. https://www.justice.gov/pardon/obama-pardons.

One of my favorites is Bradley Manning (Aka Chelsea Manning) who committed Espionage.
Getting him/Her/It out early came with a price tag $50,000 paid for by taxpayers. You were ok with that.

He doesn’t have anything to talk about, and no one would listen to him if he tried to make something up. He’s worthless to the DOJ. And if he had something (he doesn’t), with the way you crazies talk about Hillary, Trump isn’t powerful enough to protect him so he’d still keep his yap shut (that’s ridiculous).

And yeah, if he dies I won’t shed a tear.

He has nothing to talk about that fits your warped narrative. You Anti-Trumpers are so indoctrinated and mentally stunted you can't cope with reality. When Blago dies, people will know who he was, Tears will be shed. When you die, no one will know or care who you were. You're an absolute nobody pouting on a Meme site.

<eyeroll> Yeah. I'm whining for attention. On a tiny meme site that no one pays attention to. </eyeroll>

Since:

1) you're not actually defending the decision to commute Blago's sentence ("Obama did it with other people a bunch more" isn't a defense, it's a pathetic "no u" that doesn't actually support the president's action in any way),
2) Blago hasn't been singing about anything but himself for decades and doesn't know enough to do anything else,
3) no one's mad about Blago anymore except people who hate Blago, regardless of party affiliation (my parents are pretty pissed, and they voted for Trump), and
4) you sound like a blithering idiot who has more loyalty than he does intelligence,

yeah. I'm pretty safe from you. Let me know if you'd like to chat face to face and we'll see how that goes. I'll even buy you a beverage.

There is also speculation that he has political and financial resources that would help trump’s reelection, and that this was a political favor with a price attached.
