President Trump could have tried his shoes yesterday and it would have caused a freak-out on the left, but instead he issued several pardon and triggered a full-scale liberal meltdown. The general liberal consensus is that Trump is racist, abusing his power, and worse than Hitler. Coincidentally enough, this is the exact same reaction TDS-suffering liberals would have had if he tweeted about tying his shoes.
Fox News brings the latest outrage:
President Trump issued a spree of clemency decisions Tuesday for high-profile figures — most notably commuting the sentence of former Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich, a Democrat who was convicted for attempting to sell Barack Obama’s vacant Senate seat when he was elected president.
Trump also announced he pardoned financier Michael Milken, who pleaded guilty for violating U.S. securities laws.
Further, Trump confirmed he has pardoned former New York City Police Commissioner Bernard Kerik, who was sentenced on tax fraud charges in 2010. It comes on the same day the White House announced Trump granted a full pardon to former San Francisco 49ers owner Edward DeBartolo Jr., who was convicted of failing to report a bribe to the former governor of Louisiana when he pleaded guilty in 1998.
Let’s see how out-of-work alcoholic Chelsea Handler is handling this news:
While our president exonerates criminals and releases them from jail, notice what color they all are.

Well yes, the above mention people are white, but Trump also pardon some other people who were not quite as white:
Trump commuted the sentences of Tynice Nichole Hall, who was sentenced to 18 years in prison for allowing her apartment to be used in drug distribution; Crystal Munoz, who has spent 12 years in prison for a role she played in a marijuana smuggling ring; and Judith Negron, who was convicted for a role in a scheme to defraud the federal government.
And here’s the receipts:

In Handler’s defense, she is drunk all the time and very angry about democracy so she can’t be expected to read an entire article before flying off the handle.
New York Times reporter Eric Lipton was so incensed over Trump’s pardons that it made him forget Barack Obama ever existed, which is probably racist.
A moment that live in history. And deserves to be remembered. President Trump is now both the executive and judicial branch. Rod Blagojevich; Michael Milken, Bernard Kerik and others. https://t.co/AVBZ75h0Nd

There must be a combined decades worth of labor by DOJ prosecutors to build the evidence, file the charges and secure convictions in these cases, entire careers of civil servants defined by these cases that now have been commuted or wiped out.

A lot of surprising moments so far in the Trump era. This one to me is the perhaps the most awesome, in terms of defining how norms have changed in Washington.
— Eric Lipton (@EricLiptonNYT) February 18, 2020
Redefining the norms in Washington? Obama pardoned thousands of criminals including murderers.
Making this an even bigger load of garbage, Lipton actually tweeted out praise for Obama when he pardoned a bunch of scumbags:
Remember kids, it’s only bad when Republicans do it.
It wouldn’t be a proper liberal meltdown without some “worse than Hitler” nonsense and feminist Molly Jong-Fast’s mother was happy to oblige:
Has Trump pardoned Hitler yet?
— Erica Jong (@EricaJong) February 18, 2020
As an added bonus, this lefty loony is comparing the women of color Trump pardoned to the guy who kills 6 million Jews. Liberals are so rational and reasonable, aren’t they?
Of course all of these hysterical liberals melting down over Trump pardoning people seem to have forgotten that this is one of the many powers granted the President by the U.S. Constitution. For a bunch of people who get the vapors because they say Trump doesn’t respect the rule of law, they sure have no idea what the law actually is.
