Hi.
Not a thread hijack...
Donald Trump had never been a politician until June 16, 2015. But, in building a successful developer/real estate business and entertainment empire he had to deal with politicians.
Over forty five years gets you tons of experience in politics if you pay attention.
The President will pardon more people as he gets closer to the election. (Reelection).
5.56mm
Of the three not pardoned (Manafort, Flynn & Stone), two of them still have active cases, and while it’s not unheard of to step in to an active case, it’s unusual. As for Manafort, he probably is kind of angry that Manafort was such a sleaze, as it did hurt the campaign.
How’s Assange doing these days?
They’re both ongoing...He knows he should zip it.
Neither is Charles Kushner’s.
I would think he might save that one for the last day of his second term. I can just imagine the shit storm that one would cause.
You mean unlike the sh*t storm he's going to generate when he pardons Stone, Manafort, and Flynn? Come on. Trump lives for creating sh*t storms. He doesn't care what the Democrats, the media, or the Republicans in the House and Senate think. And his base would just love him all the more for it.
You could say that about most of his pardons. Why wait?
Depending on the election results a December pardon leaves the RATs with the least and most ineffective ammunition.
Since when does Trump care about what the Democrats think? Or Republicans either? He cares about his base, and they won't care at all.
If Jared's ME peace plan works out I think he has earned a pardon for his father.
You mean Jared's dead on arrival peace plan? If his father's pardon depends on that being successful then Chuckie Kushner's in a world of hurt.
Well he’s got me hook line and sinker! I won’t be bitchin!
The plan is DOA only if you are willing to believe the objectives are as stated in the plan.
Think about the plan as a lever to pry the rest of the Arab world away from the Palestinians and you will see that it is already having significant success.
Most of the Arabs are a lot more worried about Iran than Israel. In fact they can see that Israel can help them with the Iran issue a lot more than the Palestinians can.
If the plan does nothing more than cut off a significant amount of the oil funding going to the Palestinians it has worked.
I believe that the objective wasn't to bring peace to the Middle East but to remove the U.S. from any part in the peace process altogether. And through this plan and his policies Trump has placed us inextricably on the side of Israel forever ended any possibility of the U. S. offering themselves as an 'honest broker'. So from here on out it's up to the Israelis and Palestinians to work it out between them. Peace, no peace, no longer our concern.

I see some talk but no action.

It won't do that.
