Even more about the group:

That's perfect. That's going to piss off Dump double.
He took out an ad for NY to adopt the death penalty, and while it didn't explicitly stated "for them", everyone knew what he meant. He's never apologized or even acknowledged their innocence, from his remarks on the subject he still seems convinced if their guilt (hey, DNA is science, and he knows more than the scientists, right? ).
He's probably not there to look out the window and see it, but he'll be seeing the coverage with smoke coming out of his ears.

The plain and ugly truth is that it's all about the oil, baby. Saudi Arabia has been a loyal vasall state of the USA since decades. For sure gazillon of US car drivers would just love drastic gas price increases if there would be no Saudi oil imports any longer due to upholding to the moral standards of that video.

And the Saudis nowadays could not care less, if the USA don't want the oil China would be more than delighted to take it.

I maintain 'prove it' when it comes to statements about that family's wealth, especially the orange one. How do we know him or his dad do not have something on someone and they have been extorting them for decades?
Fred Trump (Donald's father) built a lot of solid post-war apartment buildings in New York City. The Trump Organization still owns them. Before that he built military barracks for the government. That's the basis for the family wealth. Being a landlord is stupidly easy, you can hire people to do the day-to-day rent collection and maintenance. When it came time to pass the fortune to his kids, Fred arranged to have his children own a "maintenance company" that vastly overcharged for their work, to the point of filing fake invoices. The now "money losing" buildings were then sold to the kids at a low price, avoiding capital gains and inheritance taxes.

Fred's net worth was estimated at $300 million. When you account for the rise in NYC real estate values, that would be several billions now, plus profits over the last several decades. All of Donnie's other failed business projects were sustained because they had the base of profitable rental property, plus some reasonable office buildings added later (Trump Tower, 40 Wall Street, etc.)

Of course that assumes bellend did not go bust on those buildings. So Fred's contribution to the family worth may or may not be anything now.

Don't want to let this pass without acknowledging it. Even though it is just another brick in the dumb fucking wall.

President Trump on Friday commuted the prison sentence of his longtime friend Roger Stone, a veteran Republican operative who was convicted of lying to Congress about his efforts to contact WikiLeaks during Russia's interference in the 2016 election.

"Roger Stone is a victim of the Russia Hoax that the Left and its allies in the media perpetuated for years in an attempt to undermine the Trump Presidency," White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany said in a statement. "There was never any collusion between the Trump Campaign, or the Trump Administration, with Russia."

"Roger Stone has already suffered greatly," she continued. "He was treated very unfairly, as were many others in this case. Roger Stone is now a free man!"

I actually used the airline a couple of times as I was looking at a college in va in 1990 starting out from new england. It never made sense. It was clearly trying to target business flyers with some luxury (free newspapers and stuff). But at the same time was cheep enough that a college student found it a reasonable price to go from Boston to DC. Who ever designed that business model was an idiot for making money, I wonder who that was?

Every president's had it, but I don't think anyone has abused it like the Orange.
Perhaps pardons should have to be authorized by Congress.
Yes, that is probably why most pardons for 1 to 44 came on the last day of their administrations, to avoid any controversies. I doubt the founding fathers thought anyone would abuse it like the bellend is doing.

He probably commuted Stone's sentence so that his current conspirators for the fall election won't fear prison for whatever illegal activities they are now committing.
If I were them I would not assume they will get the same treatment. The orange one rarely does what people would expect unless it is something with a direct benefit to itself.

Does anyone think Mitt Romney (or someone else) could be chosen to run for 2020? Is this possible or too late?

(Forgive my lack of US election knowledge)
