Well, if This Doesn’t Say It All

Former Arizona Sheriff Joe Arpaio, who once boasted of being America’s toughest sheriff, has been convicted of criminally disobeying a court order to stop arresting immigrants solely on the suspicion that they were in the country illegally.

He has NOW been PARDONED.

President Donald Trump on Friday pardoned former sheriff Joe Arpaio, the retired Arizona lawman who was convicted for intentionally disobeying a judge’s order in an immigration case.

The White House said the 85-year-old ex-sheriff of Arizona’s Maricopa County was a “worthy candidate” for a presidential pardon.

The action came several days after Trump, at a rally in downtown Phoenix, strongly hinted that he intended to issue a pardon.

“So was Sheriff Joe was convicted for doing his job?” Trump asked supporters. “I’ll make a prediction. I think he’s going to be just fine, OK.”

Well, President Trump, maybe we can get you convicted for NOT DOING YOURS…

What was it Senator Corker said?

(CNN)Bob Corker is no Donald Trump hater. Which makes what the Tennessee Republican senator said Thursday about the President all the more powerful.

“The President has not yet been able to demonstrate the stability nor some of the competence that he needs to demonstrate in order to be successful,” Corker told reporters following a speech in Chattanooga.

Later, he sounded a similar note: “We should hope that (Trump) aspires that he does some self-reflection, that he does what is necessary to demonstrate stability, to demonstrate competence, to demonstrate that he understands the character of our nation and works daily to bring out the best of the people in our nation.”

Stability. Competence. Stability. Competence.

You have none of those qualities.
