I’m 100% cynical about all of this, he saw that pardoning the woman played well so now he just gunna pardon everyone! Then oops, did I pardon my friends? I hate Trump and everything about him, I still wake up every morning hoping to read that he chocked to death on his big mac and diet coke. The pardons are a nice gesture on the micro level. I can't be angry about someone like Alice Johnson being let out of jail, the problem is without actually looking into policy changes that eliminate people like her in those kinds of situations from even being in jail in the first place, then there will remain hundreds if not thousands of folks who are nameless and faceless, that don't have a celebrity advocating for them, that will still be rotting away in jail. If Trump was truly moved by Kim Kardashian and Alice Johnson's story, he would be demanding something to be done about policy. What Trump knows is that "smiling African American lady thanking Trump on TV" will be aesthetically pleasing and might win over some voters. How much does actual policy factor into a Trump supporter or someone who *might* vote for him 2020? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Evil Genius Posted June 9, 2018 Share Posted June 9, 2018 Sigh. http://www.orlandosentinel.com/features/education/school-zone/os-voucher-school-curriculum-20180503-story.html Quote Some private schools in Florida that rely on public funding teach students that dinosaurs and humans lived together, that God’s intervention prevented Catholics from dominating North America and that slaves who “knew Christ” were better off than free men who did not. The lessons taught at these schools come from three Christian publishing companies whose textbooks are popular on many of about 2,000 campuses that accept, and often depend on, nearly $1 billion in state scholarships, or vouchers. At the Orlando Sentinel’s request, educators from Florida colleges and school districts reviewed textbooks and workbooks from these publishers, looking at elementary reading and math, middle school social studies and high school biology materials. They found numerous instances of distorted history and science lessons that are outside mainstream academics. The books denounce evolution as untrue, for example, and one shows a cartoon of men and dinosaurs together, telling students the Biblical Noah likely brought baby dinosaurs onto his ark. The science books, they added, seem to discourage students from doing experiments or even asking questions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedskinsFan44 Posted June 9, 2018 Share Posted June 9, 2018 re Trump pardons, he seems to think the pardon is some magical cure to all ills. Does he seriously believe he can solve the issues NFL players,are protesting through pardons? You can't bring someone back to life with a pardon.

Sure he does, he thinks any clever little ploy will get the flocking for a photo op with him. Every single thing he does is self serving, even the stuff that looks magnanimous is done only to serve him. To imagine that he'd do any of these pardons if he couldn't immediately congratulate himself takes a strong and vivid imagination. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More and more I keep hearing Trump’s base is frightened about the loss of position of white people in America. I’d add Evangelical to that as well. And let me start right here as a white man, if you support Trump because you fear losing your precious white privilege then you are a terrible person. And if you support Trump because you fear Evangelicals are losing their privilege, then you can shove your false religion up your arse. That god ypu serve was crafted in your image, you might as well rename him Ba’al. Oh, but I know, no good white Christian American would ever say their support for Trump is from their fear of being treated equally with the rest of humanity, and yet that’s what we hear all the time in your fake culture wars and your hypocritical sermons on the sanctity of human life that you treat without love or compassion.
