When do I get total relief from IRS slavery Income Tax?
And don’t forget...Obama commuted the sentences of 1,715 druggies....some a lot worse then her.
I thought he said death penalty for drug dealers. I must have misheard him. He must have said amnesty.
Is this woman black?

Good. She deserves it, and there will be political benefits to Trump for being open to those who the left will claim hate his guts.
I don't know how the mess is fixed up. One thing I do know. I despise hypocrisy. President Trump is at his best when he makes decisions such as this on his own. It's about an even playing field. Maybe we can come together and acknowledge that all mind-altering drugs are bad, whatever the source.
Good. Now do Blago!
I don’t care about Martha Stewart. She’s walking free and not suffering in that way.
The West couple are going to have a debt to pay.
But but but Trump is a RAAaacist!
Hey! Keep your hands off my coffee!
Lets just hope this pardon does not come back to bite Trump in the (Obama) like many pardons do.
was she a dealer?
Here she is.
Yes. Your right, Progressive Socialist DemocRAT heads will explode.
