Cheney calls pardoning Snowden 'unconscionable' after Trump says he's considering it
No. Almost every President has done it including Ford for Nixon.

Do you ever research a sled with no pre conceived notions on whether or not you will buy one? You simply are looking into what they are like. Ever do that with anything? I did it with that new Dodge truck today. You're inability to grasp such a simple concept is telling.

How can you consider pardoning someone you haven't looked into yet. First you look at the details then form an opinion on whether or not they are deserving. At that point you are considering it. Jesus you guys crack me up.

He never says he's "considering" pardoning him. He just says exactly what I posted above. "Looking into" does not mean "considering." Damn and I though your ability to comprehend what you read was bad.

Absolutely not. I've said on here over and over again the idea there will be a perfect candidate that matches with all your political ideals is ridiculous. Ron and Rand were as close as it comes for me but they didn't win. Is Trump perfect? Fuck no but he's far better than the alternatives.

Define great? If greatness is taking on the whole system like Ron Paul would have there are not that many who would do just that. In fact very, very few. Honestly I don't think they would have let RP live if elected and really went after what he appeared he wanted to do. That has to be in the minds of anyone who would take on the likes of the central banking system and the MIC.

He never said he's considering it in the press conference I listened to. He said he would look into it. Completely different. I absolutely hope he does pardon him for the releasing of unconstitutional spying programs. What Trump said. "I’m going to look at it," Trump said at the news conference. "I’m not that aware of the Snowden situation, but I’m going to start looking at it."

That they are intentionally gutting the USPS. Do you know what is suppose to fund the USPS? Not covering its losses and wanting it to operate at minimum break even is not "gutting" the post office. https://www.gao.gov/key_issues/us_postal_service_financial_viability/issue_summary Poor financial situation: USPS’s overall financial condition is deteriorating and unsustainable. USPS has lost $69 billion over the past 11 fiscal years—including $3.9 billion in fiscal year 2018. USPS’s total unfunded liabilities and debt ($143 billion at the end of fiscal year 2018) have grown to double its annual revenue. Insufficient cost savings: The savings from USPS cost-reduction efforts have dwindled in recent years. Although USPS has stated that it will aggressively reduce costs within its control, its plans will not achieve the kind of savings necessary to significantly reduce current operating costs. Unfavorable trends: USPS’s expenses are now growing faster than its revenues—partly due to rising compensation and benefits costs and continuing declines in the volume of First-Class Mail. https://facts.usps.com/top-facts/ 1Zero tax dollars used. The Postal Service receives NO tax dollars for operating expenses and relies on the sale of postage, products and services to fund its operations.

One of those shows that's like a car wreck that you just can't not look at. Poverty that leads to drug abuse or drug abuse that leads to poverty. Both cases led to some pretty significant violent crime. Likely some of both neither is an excuse.- Evening newscasts 150 times more negative toward Trump than Biden
Nope....no bias at all and why the Citizens United v. FCC decision was so correctly ruled. https://www.foxnews.com/media/evening-newscasts-150-times-more-negative-trump “I’ve been studying the news media and elections for more than 35 years. Trust me — there’s never been anything like it,” Noyes wrote. “Do the math, and viewers heard 150 TIMES more negative comments about Trump than Biden. That’s not news reporting — that’s a negative advertising campaign in action.”- Voters in North Carolina have received absentee ballot request forms in the mail with Trump's face on them
Sorry but you are misinformed. https://www.foxnews.com/opinion/trump-vs-dems-on-mail-in-voting-jason-chaffetz Ironically, it is House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s H.R. 1 that seeks to federalize elections and give the president power he doesn’t currently have now. Her solution would create the problem she inaccurately blames Trump for today. The president of the United States does not control the operations of the Postal Service nor does he select or appoint the Postmaster General. The Board of Governors does both of these things. The Postal Regulatory Commission sets rates, service levels and decides on postal closings, not the president. The governors are appointed by a president and confirmed by the United States Senate. No more than five of the nine governors may be from the same political party. When President Trump came into office the USPS Board of Governors was in shambles and inoperable as President Obama neglected the board. There were not enough members to even form a quorum. In fact, by December 2016 there were zero of a possible nine appointed Governors. Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., was blocking multiple nominations. Robert Duncan now serves as the Chairman of the Board of Governors. From 2007 to 2009 he was the Chairman of the Republican National Committee, which will undoubtedly be repeated extensively by Democrats. Also notable was Duncan’s reappointment to the Board of Governors in 2019 when the U.S. Senate unanimously confirmed him again 89-0. It will be difficult for the Democrats, with a straight face, to complain about Duncan’s leadership when the Senate confirmed him a second time and did so unanimously. Ron Bloom, for instance, was nominated by President Trump and confirmed by the United States Senate to serve on the Board of Governors, but in 2011 President Obama had appointed Bloom to serve as Assistant to the President (Obama) on Manufacturing Policy. The governors are accomplished members of the business community and largely not overtly political. The Inspector General (I.G.) is also appointed by the Board of Governors and not by the president of the United States. The current I.G. is Tammy Whitcomb. Further, the Chairman of the Postal Regulatory Commission (PRC), Robert Taub, was appointed by President Obama and confirmed unanimously by voice vote in the United States Senate in December 2016. They help set pricing and service levels. According to their website, the PRC’s Office of Accountability and Compliance, “It provides the analytic support for Commission review of rate changes, negotiated service agreements, classifications of new products, post office closings,…” In other words, it is an independent body, lead by an Obama appointee confirmed by the Senate who makes the postal changes in question. The PRC also has its own independent Inspector General.- The man that was kicked in the head in Portland is still unconscious

Tough keyboard Ben is just the guy to do it. Just what or how do you describe your political beliefs? You cry about govt all the fucking time yet want them to run your healthcare.- Meme thread
All my son's friends from his class and the class above him found good paying jobs before even graduating. 1 kid went to operate equipment instead of using his degree because he was having a hard time finding a school administration job locally and the pay/bennies were excellent. His fiance's family has a successful business near here so there is zero chance of them moving to find work for him and he didn't want to work at her families business. Get a degree worth something, stay out of trouble and don't be a douche when you go to interviews and you'll find work.- Meme thread

Damn I hope you get yours some day. It will be awesome.- Voters in North Carolina have received absentee ballot request forms in the mail with Trump's face on them
SMH....no its the request of a ballot to a specific address vs. the random mailing to everyone based off "last known address." Is this really that difficult of concept? Yes even with absentee ballots upwards of 20% of ballots go uncounted. 3% USPS loses and 17% people fuck up filling them out which I can't help but think its their own fault.- “Don’t underestimate Joe’s ability to fuck things up,” Obama was quoted as saying.
Maybe but if you've paid any attention to Pence you can see how he can handle the Presidency if needed. Pence was likely picked for 2 reasons, capable and to sure up some of the Evangelical vote.- Hard Times In West Virginia
