#1 What on earth has happened to the moral and political sensibilities of Paul Ryan, John McCain, Jeff Flake, Jeb Bush, etc.?

Bringing to bear what one does not possess is very difficult.

#2 Only two types of non-leftards in America: these who melt down when called "racist", and these who reply "su madre cabron".

#3 Sort of like flashing a cross or sprinkling holy water on a vampire isn't it? Trump the Exorcist.

#4 Aside from giving Arpaio a break that he deserved, the pardon is a message to his people, that not cooperating with the inquision doesn't mean jail.
Mueller, game on!

#5 It was the judge who broke the law as so many of our activist judges have over the last decade.

There's no evidence of prosecutorial or judicial misconduct in the Arpaio case.

Such judges are traitors to the nation as well.

The judge is not a "traitor to the nation". This entire piece is hyperbolic rubbish not worthy of the 'burg.

#6 One of countless examples of judges making the laws and not interpreting them. Sickening. And remember T.J.'s warning about the judiciary....

#8 newc, Obama's pardons were based on compassion, All the people he pardoned had done was things like murder, robbery, rape, and, in Bradley Manning's case, betray the United States. On the other hand, what Sheriff Arpaio had done was RACIST, and thus unforgivable. Of course the people had to melt down. /sarcasm

#9 What on earth has happened to the moral and political sensibilities of Paul Ryan, John McCain, Jeff Flake, Jeb Bush, etc.?

"American Thinker" hasn't done much thinking about this, has he?

Or is this one of those "Appeal to the better angels of their nature by professing shock at behavior that's been going on for decades" bits that the conservative commentariat like to engage in?

Has that stuff ever worked?

#10 These are the people who are supposed to approve the border wall.

Judges are people. Some adhere to those who signed the Constitution, others adhere to those who sign their paychecks.
