Then again, BLOTUS is a belligerent child.

UPDATE: Sheriff Joe has hope!

PHOENIX — When the White House announced Tuesday that, despite the rumors, President Trump wouldn’t pardon former Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio, the embattled law enforcement official interpreted the comments in his own way.

“He didn’t say he’s not going to do it,” Arpaio told VICE News in a phone interview. “He said, ‘tonight,’” Arpaio added, referring to Trump’s campaign rally Tuesday night in Phoenix...

1. He'll probably "issue" one on Twitter

[Flaleftist]

6. Maybe his audience will start a chant 'pardon Apraio'

and he will cave.

[LonePirate]

2. If he gives an off the prompter speech, all bets are off. He could say anything.

He will likely go after Flake, though, which is odd because Flake voted to repeal the ACA while McCain did not. I don't think he will go after McCain, though.

3. He may not have done the paperwork or gone through

proper channels but that doesn't stop him from verbally pardoning him at the rally. That IS the kind of thing the maggot lives for. Riling up his Klansmen with childish defiance.

4. Good, that would start a riot if he did.

That would absolutely be the wrong move right now given the toxic racist climate we live in.

[Salviati]

5. Who announced it?

If it came directly from the hair fuhrer himself, I'd give it a 50/50 shot on being credible...

Sanders: Trump Will Not Pardon Joe Arpaio at Rally (Daily Beast)

That does not prevent him from going off script and stating his intentions.

7. Yet...

[Skittles]

8. my guess is the generals advised it would not be a good idea

especially after Charlottesville

[asiliveandbreathe]

10. This is good news - although, we never know, considering what a liar he is..

Sounds like, if true, saner heads prevailed...

For those who will attend in the protest - be safe - peaceful..lots of info at link....

Donald Trump will be in Arizona and we want to send a very clear message that we will not pardon white supremacy the way he has done with #Charlottesville. This week we saw how he quickly defended his partner in racism, Joe Arpaio, as Trump told Fox News he is “seriously considering” issuing a pardon for former Arizona sheriff Joe Arpaio.  Arpaio was convicted last month of criminal contempt for ignoring a judge’s order to stop racially profiling detainees. 

Bring your signs and your common sense.  Remain peaceful and listen to police officers.  And have fun!  This is what we've been practicing for! (Please note: we are Puente's guests at this event and need to follow their lead, be respectful and let them be in charge)


Trump estará en Arizona y queremos enviar un mensaje muy claro que no vamos a perdonar la supremacía blanca de la manera que lo ha hecho con #Charlottesville y ahora con Joe #Arpaio.

Esta semana vimos cómo rápidamente defendió a su socio de la supremacía blanca, Joe Arpaio, y como Trump le dijo a Fox News que está “considerando seriamente” perdonar a el ex odioso sheriff de Arizona Joe Arpaio, quién fue condenado el mes pasado de desprecio criminal por ignorar la orden de un juez de dejar de detener a la gente por racial perfilaron de la gente, asaltaron lugares de trabajados y humilaron a la gente durante su regin de terror como sheriff.
Vengan y diganle que no es bienvenido y que nunca perdonaremos a la supremacía blanca!

12. said there would be no pardon today... that doesn't mean never... n/t

[kwassa]

13. Arpaio will never serve time. He is 85.

Home arrest would be a good thing, though.

[longship]

14. You're in Mooney's jail now.

Sorry. Couldn't resist.

[Iggo]

15. I believe him. He's trustworthy.
