Pat Robertson Urges Trump To Pardon Everyone, Then Stop Mueller Probe

Ed Mazza

HuffPost, October 30, 2017

Televangelist Pat Robertson wants President Donald Trump to issue pardons to everyone involved in the Russia scandal and then “shut down” the investigation being led by former FBI Director Robert Mueller. 

“He has every right to shut Mueller down and say, ‘You’ve gone as far as you need to, and I have instructed my Justice Department to close you down,’” he said Monday on “The 700 Club,” which airs on ABC’s Freeform cable network.

The right-wing TV preacher said: 

“He can grant a blanket pardon for everybody involved in everything and say, ‘All right, I pardon them all, case closed, it’s all over.’ I think that is what he needs to do ... he’s got to shut this thing down, he’s just got to.”

Robertson’s comments, posted online by Right Wing Watch, came after the first indictments in the investigation were announced Monday. 

Trump’s former campaign chairman Paul Manafort and Manafort’s onetime business associate Rick Gates pleaded not guilty to multiple charges in federal court. Separately, former campaign adviser George Papadopoulos pleaded guilty to lying to FBI agents in connection with the investigation.

Pat Robertson was belched from the bowels of hell.

I thought that taxidermied gremlin died years ago! Looks like he’s been dead by at least ten years judging from that video. 

If you look closely, just beyond that receding hairline, you can clearly see the mark of the beast.

Hate him

Well, he was talking about how electric lights can prevent sexual assault. Which actually holds some truth, well lighted homes and streets DO deter all sorts of crime.

But the media had to twist that.

Geezus now the media is obsessing over that Donna (debate question giver:boring: ) Brazile bitch again. The one who they OCD on 10x more than Trump those last few crucial weeks. :wacko:She may just be trying to sell books but ALL this does is give fuel to the Trump trolls, Fox etc...Also, re-ignite the 'rigged' bullshit and prevent the whiny, grating Lena Dunham SJW Bernie 'rebels' who did NOT vote in 2016 won't vote again. This very possibly may affect the VA Governor election on Tuesday. Super shitty timing. If the Dems blow this one (with a super awful Trump like candidate there) forget it. Basically confirms Dems are lazy, garbage and Trump has a solid shot at winning again in 3 years. I have a feeling Dems are gonna lose it on Tuesday. What the fuq is/was the point of Women's marches, Invisible etc...I get the hate/dislike for Hillary but I equally dislike Bernie. They BOTH sliced the party in half. If Dems lose Tuesday, Perez needs to be booted asap!

Following this "logic", a light can never be switched off.

Yeah. Right.

Elizabeth Warren Fires Back After Racist Attack from Trump: ‘Tweets Won’t Keep Your People Out of Jail’

Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) fired back on Friday morning after Trump called her “Pocahontas”  in a tweetstorm that Warren said was intended to distract from the real story.

Tweeted Warren: “I understand your desperation to change the subject, @realDonaldTrump. Your campaign mgr was just indicted for conspiracy against the US…You might think your tweets are cute, @realDonaldTrump, but they won’t stop Mueller’s investigation or keep your people out of jail…The DNC shouldn’t play favorites. But that’s a whole lot different from illegally conspiring with Russia. The FBI knows the difference…Slurs, lies & trash talk won’t stop the FBI from doing its job. This isn’t a dictatorship. It’s our democracy. And it’s stronger than you.”

The media should stop focusing on what that idiot is saying and tweeting, and focus rather on what his administration is pulling in silence when everyone's getting flustered and offended at childish namecalling that affects nothing at all. Trying to make Trump look like a fool is no heroic feat, any idiot could do it. By obsessively focusing on his childish antics instead of the actual deconstruction of the country, the media is making a fool out of itself. I can't truly believe people are more upset at whatever insults that man says than how the government is actually affecting the lives of thousands of people.

Examples of bills passed by the administration:

H.J.Res. 67: "Disapproving the rule submitted by the Department of Labor relating to savings arrangements established by qualified State political subdivisions for non-governmental employees"

H.J.Res. 67 disapproves and nullifies the rule issued by the Department of Labor on August 30, 2016, establishing a “safe harbor” from the Employee Retirement Income Security Act for government-run IRAs managed by states and certain political subdivisions for private sector workers.

Under the final rule, cities and large political subdivisions will not have to comply with the fiduciary oversight and other protections of ERISA that ensure that workers’ savings are available to provide a secure retirement. In addition, the rule will result in overlapping and inconsistent requirements for employers operating in multiple jurisdictions, even within a state, disregarding ERISA’s statutory preemption of state and local laws affecting employee benefit plans.

 

H.J.Res. 42: Disapproving the rule submitted by the Department of Labor relating to drug testing of unemployment compensation applicants.

One of the most controversial bills in this Congress split the two parties so much that the Senate vote produced no Republicans opposed and no Democrats in favor. And it could potentially kick a large number of people around the country off of unemployment insurance or food stamps. (!!!)

The context and what the law does

Existing federal law barred states from drug testing anybody claiming food stamps as a means of screening those people out. A 1960s Democrat-led Department of Labor ruling similarly banned states from drug testing those claiming unemployment insurance until 2012.

Then, the Middle Class Tax Relief and Job Creation Act of 2012  — passed by a Republican House compromising with President Obama — allowed states to drug test unemployment claimants under specific narrow circumstances. At least 15 states subsequently did so. Drug testing for food stamps remained illegal, but a number of Republican-led states passed laws to do so anyway, though they’d all been blocked by courts.

A new federal law would remove those specific narrow circumstances already in existence, effectively allowing states to drug test anybody claiming unemployment insurance or food stamps.

It passed the House on February 15 by a 236–189 vote.

New ABC/WaPo poll: 37% approve of Pres. Trump, the lowest approval of any postwar president at this point in office.

JUST IN: 55% say Pres. Trump is not delivering on major campaign promises, up sharply from 41% at his 100-day mark.

Polls, polls, polls. All these polls screamed of a Hillary landslide a year ago and we see what happened with that. 

He's not popular, he never has been. No one I talk to, even those who voted for him, LIKE him. But the tragedy is that they're will to hold their nose just so he can enact his horrible tax policies. I work with a lot of VERY wealthy people, individuals who see tax cuts as more important that, oh I don't know, basic decency, respect, decorum, honesty. 

Trump has TWO types of voters:

  1. Rich, white, educated, white collar people who don't have to WORRY about any kind of social justice because their money will always protect them. And in turn, they want their money protected. They hate the way he acts, hates the way he talks, but by golly, he's gonna save them billions so, fuck it. 
  2. Idiots. Bumbling, racist, misogynistic, homophobic, low income, uneducated morons who actually believe everything he says. People who benefit from Obamacare, yet want it repealed because Obama's name is attached to it. They believe him, because he TALKS like them. BEHAVES like them. And they eat it up.  

He very well could be reelected in 3 years. He's figured out that if he can hold at LEAST 40% of this country, he can win. IF the dems nominate a Hillary like candidate again, I have no doubt an independent will run. Probably a Green and a Libertarian. If this happens, it'll split the vote, and our national nightmare will continue.

Fox News Pulls Donald Trump Impeachment Ad After Audience Outrage

Jon Levine

November 6, 2017

Fox News will no longer run an ad from billionaire Tom Steyer calling for President Donald Trump’s impeachment.

“Due to the strong negative reaction to their ad by our viewers, we could not in good conscience take their money,” said Fox News co-president Jack Abernethy in a statement obtained by TheWrap on Monday.

According to Steyer, a prominent Democratic donor and Trump critic, the network abruptly and unfairly pulled the ad on October 31.

The TV spot is part of Steyet’s campaign to pressure Congress to file articles of impeachment against Trump.

“I’m funding this effort to raise our voices together and demand that elected officials take a stand on impeachment,” said a grave Steyer looking directly into the camera.”A Republican Congress once impeached a president for far less, yet today people in Congress and his own administration know that this president is a clear and present danger who’s mentally unstable and armed with nuclear weapons.”

The ad included a link to Steyer’s website, NeedToImpeach.com — just in case anybody was still unsure.

In a trollish flourish, Steyer not only bought airtime on Fox News but specifically on “Fox & Friends” to ensure that Donald Trump — a regular viewer of the program — would see it.

The strategy worked, with Trump issuing a denunciation less than an hour after watching the commercial on Oct. 27.

In a lawyer’s letter to Abernethy, team Steyer accused Fox News of bowing to Trump’s criticism.

“It is no coincidence that the Cancellation of the Advertisement, in the second week of its run came on the heels of a tweet from President Trump, criticizing the spot and Mr. Steyer personally,” said Steyer counsel Brad Deutsch. “The only possible explanation seems to be that Fox News capitulated to political pressure from the Trump administration itself. President Trump has threatened retaliation against broadcasters who provide him with negative coverage and Fox News appears to have answered these threats with servility.”

Representatives for Steyer did not immediately return request for comment from TheWrap.

Instead of wasting time and money on such nonsense both Democrats and Republicans should regroup and prepare themselves for the next election with new interesting and YOUNGER candidates with fresh IDEAS for a change.

Finally some loong overdue needed f'king victories after a year of 24/7 culture of white trash, hateful, nazi-esque sewage and loss after loss (even if they were special elections in super red states). The irony is it's almost exactly a year after the worst day basically since 9/11 (11/9/16). Don't care what most of these pundits say this was *positively an F U to Trump. Nuttin more/less.

Northam seems nice but nothing special at all. Bland/meh but still 10x and better than the other dude or ANY GOP so of course it's great he won. Suppose his demeanor is perfect for VA though. Yes, it's bright purple,'basically' blue but not 100% yet outside of the Northern VA. It's one of those states very similar to PA and a few others. Outside of Philly and Pittsburgh, basically Alabama-esque toothless white trash.

Like others are saying unless Trump is smoked, removed, or collapses/dies naturally etc..if the Dems nominate someone like McCaulife (now former VA gov.) who is DEF gonna run and buds with the Clintons (along with many, many others linked to the toxic Clinton name) very likely Trump wins. 2016 all over again. You'll get 2 or 3 independents who will split the vote. The Dem. nominee has to be a fresh, younger-ish ROCK star w/ NO Clinton connections who can KO Trump during the primaries and debates etc...

Trump is NOT losing around 30-35% of the country. His loons are a demented, insane cult. He could destroy all their lives economically, health care etc...they DON'T care. Trump ain't a Bush, Nixon etc. All primitive and personality deep connection w/ his racist far white wing sheep.
