Pwned::

God he is a fucking stupid buffoon!!

[manor321]

1. LOL. Most incompetent administration ever. n/t

[exboyfil]

2. Should have added

"We would expect the President of the United States to be aware of this fact, and the family is insulted that you implied that Mr. Ali was guilty of anything."

[Fred Sanders]

11. Essentially another attack against a black athlete to stir up the base...see, Trump loves black

folk. Why, he even pardons the 😇!

[Jim__]

3. Trump alreay has his headline. What does reality have to do with it? - n/t

[Brother Buzz]

4. Word!

[dembotoz]

6. yep...don't wanna think folks are that easily mislead.....but they can be

donald trump the civil rights crusader.....can see it now.....lol

[EffieBlack]

20. It really pissed me off that the media ran with that headline without even bothering to fact check

Hell, *I* knew this was bullshit the minute it came out of his mouth because, even though I was a kid when it happened, I knew that Ali's conviction had been overturned. Why didn't THEY know it?

You're right - they gave Trump the headline he wanted - the followup fact checking is pretty useless.

[Dave Starsky]

5. Even if Ali's conviction wasn't overturned...

Ali himself would have told him to shove his pardon up his fat, pasty ass.

Muhammad Ali never sucked up to anyone, let alone someone like Trump.

[LiberalFighter]

30. I had responded with the below w/o remembering conviction was overturned.

To a Reuters Facebook posting.

Ali would not want a pardon for something he believed in. The only one guilty at the time was the political system.

[MosheFeingold]

31. Hate to break it to you

But Ali supported Ronald Reagan and many other Republicans.

This would have been right up his ally.

[malaise]

7. Bwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah

I remember when the quintessential fucking idiot said there were no Muslim athletes in America.

[bahrbearian]

8. Can he Baptize Ali or have the Mormons already done that.

[magicarpet]

9. Buttering up the Black vote prior to 2018 & 2020.

Use the pardon for people of color now, then when he uses it for his criminal cabal and criminal family they can say(Rudy) that he (trDump)has a soft place in his heart to see that people of all walks of life not have the albatross of criminality hung around their neck into eternity, forgiveness is the Christian way.

Normalize the handing out of pardons now then later it will seem the normal and benevolent thing to do to allow his family to escape the calls of justice.

[EffieBlack]

32. He thinks black people are stupid

If we didn't vote for him in 2016, why would any sane person think we would suddenly decide to vote for him because he fake-pardons Muhammad Ali?

Take that sh*t to somebody who'll fall for it. And that ain't us.

[TheBlackAdder]

10. Next, Trump will try to pardon Vanilla Ice's burglary conviction--only finding it was a state crime

[Doodley]

12. Ali was black and a Muslim. Of course Trump thinks he's guilty of a crime.

[grantcart]

14. "Pardon for being Black"

[MineralMan]

13. Dumbassery abounds in the White House...

[bigbrother05]

15. This is why there is a Pardons Review Board, but a stable genius has no need

Are we swirling the drain yet?

[NotASurfer]

16. Guess he will have to order the AG to convict Ali of something post mortem

Just to do that

More likely he'll just take credit for it, his base will gleefully parrot it as evidence he's not a scary misogynistic racist, on to the next lie

[irisblue]

17. Is this parody/ sarcasm? This is real?

[H2O Man]

18. Trump should be

impeached for even saying Ali's name.

[Javaman]

19. we are now living in the alternative universe of the onion. nt

[lark]

21. Stupid, stupid as well as totally and happily ignorant ass.

How can someone be this totally brain dead and still walking around? Every time he opens his mouth (Or moves his tiny little fingers) all we get are self-serving lies and totally made up crap. He has no truth and no knowledge, only hatred and filth occupy his so-called brain.

[LudwigPastorius]

22. Sorry, Trumpo.

You're going to have to find a celebrity with an actual criminal conviction if you want to pander for votes.

Sooo, who's it going to be. Cosby or O.J.?

[cungar2000]

23. Glad he's getting to the core of the issues

Yeah the real problem with African American incarceration in this country is dead Sports heroes.

[aeromanKC]

24. Was Muhammad Ali behind the Canadians burning down the White House?

Or perhaps he helped the Germans bomb Pearl Harbor??

[bucolic_frolic]

25. He's dredging up the past now, replaying his earlier life

Life's an echo in a subconscious way when we contemplate our remaining years

[unblock]

26. please, let his estate sue donnie for defamation of character.

[riversedge]

27. Once again, #Trump makes himself out to the world that he is a FOOL!

[NCjack]

28. He should pardon Jarad's daddy. nt

[MGKrebs]

29. The daily examples of trumps idiocy is only significant

if it is connected to the Congress' unwillingness to speak out or do something about it. There must be MORE pressure on Congress to acknowledge his craziness and it's impact on our lives and take some action, even if it's only resolutions or censures.
There needs to be more pressure, from donors, from celebrities, from local politicians, from news sources... and from us.
Just pointing out his insanity is just distracting at this point. He is dangerously stupid and incompetent and this needs to be said by many over and over until something is done.

[Cha]

33. Fucking Fraud Idiot.
