This was the big surprise pardon?

I can't believe the size of the yawn I just had.

This is the "big pardon" the White House teased ... unbelievable.

He’s pardoning somebody who is long dead?
Talk about your Nothing Burger.

I sure hope this is a joke. I am not dismissing the importance of Susan B. Anthony but these pardons of long, long dead people is pure pandering and meaningless. She doesn’t need a pardon, her place in history is well set. How about pardoning someone alive, that can benefit from the pardon?

When this announcement gets the media talking, you know there is only one thing that's a bigger yawner, the Dem Convention.

[Pikachu_Dad]

Awesome ! I love it.

Great idea President Trump !!!

[rxsid]

A bit of a yawner, agreed.

However, on the Anniversary of the 19th Amendment...looks like Trump is giving a nod to women and the Constitution.

[bankwalker]

The 19th amendment was the biggest blunder in the history of the U.S.A.

This is a pic of a young Milton Berle.

[glennaro]

Yeah ... I guess so.

[Alberta's Child]

Makes me wonder why this wasn’t done before by a Democrat.

CNN headline: "Trump Encourages Uneligible, Dead Voters in Election Fraud Gambit"

[deweyfrank]

Brilliant!!!

[Calvin Cooledge]

As one standup comic put it, when women won the right to vote, only men were allowed to vote on the amendment. How the hell did we lose that one!?

[Mr. K]

LOL - its a purely political act... but it will trigger lefties

Why would that make you *yawn*? It’s fun to watch him troll the left.

[Pravious]

Pointless and waste of everyone’s time.

Troll the Democrats, President Trump. Don’t troll US. We were expecting something that actually meant something.

[Vermont Lt]

Now Trump is a Pander-bear?

I guess this would be a nice tie in to the anniversary of the Suffrage movement.

Makes you wonder why this was not done before...I mean, she is on the damn coin.
