I have this fool blocked. Stop showing his BS

Hey Blago: GFY

Why is he given a platform without even a shred of remorse?

👎🐍♟

Unbelievable that these snake oil buddies are allowed to go free. Where is the outrage? Crooked bastards

OK Whitey.

Freakin liar. He is racist and then so are you. Besides you are still a convict and no one will believe. How can the public stand a corrupted has been politician

Democrats when they hear criminal justice reform.

Unbelievable!

Jail hasn’t taught him a damn thing this is a mistake

And this is why he’s out! Mouthpiece for more maga propaganda .

Now he will campaign for Trump, exactly why Trump pardoned the criminals. Everything he is saying we all know it’s not a surprise, so shut the hell up.

I’ll believe that when I see it.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

A new Fox Pundit is made

Kiss ass much....you should still be in jail.

This coming from the mouth of a corrupt convicted criminal. Turn off the mike. He’s got nothing of value to say.

FYI- I just discovered that if you get a corrupt file on your computer, you can just call the White House and Trump will pardon it and you are good to go.

No, they will make sure the corruption stays.

🤮

No one has done more? Are you serious with this shit?

At first, I was thinking the next pardon would be Jeffrey Epstein, but then I remembered...you know.

Oh FFS! This guy has completely lost his mind!! He still broke the law!!

Attack my Internet trolls

Says the white man.

species_x

Don’t give him any more airtime FFS.....

Yes it is a racist criminal justice system but why the F are you complaining about that? You’re as white as snow, make, AND you’re rich. AND without expressing regret that you committed a crime you got PARDONED by POTUS. You’re the poster boy for rich white male privilege.

Like he would not be saying this about El Chapo is he got him out of jail... You can tell how much trump hates corruption, he does not want them to stay in jail. Yet he just said all drug dealers should go to jail for life...

realDonaldTrump Trump must pardon republican political prisoners Flynn, Stone, and Medford (FBI, NSA, CIA both lied to Congress) and stop trying to be PC or lose election votes!!

Commuting YOUR sentence has helped fix a broken, RACIST system how?

The man who extorted a Children’s Hospital by withholding funding unless the CEO contributed to his political campaign. Lifting up the man who filtered money into his own company that was intended for a children’s cancer charity. This is the Upside Down. 😕

Rod has gone full Leland Palmer

Why do you print this bull? 🤮

😲WTH 🤥😡🤬

Revolting.

That's ok. I'm sure every time he drops the soap at home in the shower it'll bring back memories.

Sucking A**!!! Climbing way up there!!!

Is he drooling? And he can go alllllll the way to h3ll with his trump/kushner bs.

Oh here we go... All tRump has to do to get high praise..release a convicted criminal.. then a press conference & walla a campaign commercial paid for by any news network that fell for is con once again. please stop spending my investment $$$$$$$$ in Disney this way.

Oof

Tell me, what you call a President who abuses his Power, by releasing a bunch of criminals? This is like a slap in the face to the American People, It's saying; ' Yea, Bill bar did reduce the so and so sentence, And to show you that I ' The President doesn't care I'm releasing

Obama pardoned more people

What is he trying to distract us from?🤔 What’s going on with Mitch?🤔 Did he send Trump out to do something so stupid that the media is concentrated on this and not him?🤔 Mitch has been sending out bad judges behind our backs while the media is fixated on Trumps stupidity.

Because power corrupts, society's demands for moral authority and character increase as the importance of the position increases. John Adams

I mean come on man! These people just lied to prosecutors and did some corrupt things. Are those even real crimes?

realDonaldTrump if you can do that for them then do it for me. Pardon me so I can go on with my life.

Liberals ,,,Cry me a River.😂😂😂😂😂

There now exists reasons why AG Barr must vacate office immediately. He definitely cannot claim he had no knowledge of these pardons

In his bubble world he think's he is bigger than the big picture , when he falls it's gonna be bigger than a magnitude 45 !

Good for Democrats and all these people are Democrats

LOOKING GOOD AS ALWAYS MR.TRUMP WE LOVE YOU AND SUPPORT ALL THE WAY PUT IT THIS WAY YOU ARE OUR WHITE MARTIN LUTHER KING JR. FOR EXAMPLE THEY WERE WIPE OUT THE MIDDLE AGE WHITE PERSON I HAVE ATON OF EXPERIENCE WENT THROUGH BALTIMORE CITY POLICE DEPT MY BACK GROUND INVESTERGATOR.

Rod held a press conference where he announced that the state of Illinois would suspend doing business with Bank of America....the next morning, the feds kicked in his door. It had nothing to do with Obama's seat.

i mean, if dems actually care about corruption they'll vote for warren. we shall see. i'm voting for warren. but some like the corrupt dem guys.

The corrupt helping the corrupt. They stick with their own species.

Making corruption great again. “Trump's Secret Service hotel scam is corruption hiding in plain sight”

Donald is sending a message to his criminal worshippers. Black men on death row need to don their MAGA hats. First ten who do it get a pardon and the rest die.

Trump has been out of control for months. Now that he know's the Senate will do nothing to stop him he will do as he pleases. He is as Ken Burns said 'the biggest threat to Democracy since WWII'. Republicans that defend him either don't care or aren't paying attention.

And?

If you see that women run for your life

I'm trying to fixing and moving to fast and hard work pays off at my ice cream and sugar daddy or something like that and trying to get worse than we are having apompem in

LAW & ORDER: Harsh sentences for fraudster and extortionist is meant to send message - 'Don't do the crime if you can't do the time.' TRUMP PARDONS: Meant to send the message - 'Do the crime for me and I'll set you free.'
