the orange one has started
Pardons ridiculously given out.
FOR EXAMPLE: Also pardoned were Nicholas Slatten, Paul Slough, Evan Liberty and Dustin Heard, former contractors at Blackwater Worldwide who were serving lengthy prison terms in connection with the killings of civilians in a 2007 massacre in Baghdad. Among those killed by the Blackwater contractors were children, including a nine-year-old, and a mother who was clutching an infant.
Are you still a pro-law enforcement President after you pardon killers of a 9-year old & an 11-year old?” asked Joyce Alene, a law professor at the University of Alabama and former US attorney for the northern district of Alabama, about the decision in the contractors’ cases

The four – Paul Slough, Evan Liberty, Dustin Heard and Nicholas Slatten – were part of an armoured convoy that opened fire indiscriminately with machine-guns and grenade launchers on a crowd of unarmed people in the Iraqi capital. Known as the Nisour Square massacre, the slaughter was seen as a low point in the conflict in Iraq.
In 2014, Slough, Liberty and Heard were found guilty of 13 charges of voluntary manslaughter and 17 charges of attempted manslaughter, while Slatten, the team’s sniper who was the first to open fire, was convicted of first-degree murder. Slatten was sentenced to life; Slough, Liberty and Heard got 30 years each.

What good is your pardoning power if you can't pardon the killers of some innocent women and children?

It's funny but I didn't see any outrage from you when these happened.
"SACRAMENTO (AP) — California Gov. Gavin Newsom on Friday pardoned five people who already served their time and commuted the sentences of 21 state prison inmates, including more than a dozen convicted of murder or related crimes. The victims were children in two of the cases and a pregnant woman in a third."
https://sanfrancisco.cbslocal.com/20...ing-murderers/
"Gov. Cuomo granted clemency to 29 convicts Monday — including four serving lengthy sentences for murder.
Twenty-two of the inmates won pardons, including several immigrants convicted of drug crimes who were facing possible deportation.
Nine others had their sentences commuted, four for murder and three for armed robbery."

How many of the almost two thousand that Obama pardoned did you cry about.

You got that right. We never should have gone over there in the first place. Who cares if Saddam was killing his own people, including kids. It isn't our problem to fix.

If you want to be angry at Trump, then this is worth your anger.
"A new regulation rolled out in the final days of the Trump administration will allow restaurants to pull tips from their waitstaff to pay cooks in the back, putting more cash in the pockets of ownership while forcing front-of-the-house staff to do more work for less money."

I worked at Hungry Hunter in the early 70's. The waiters had to split tips with the cocktail waitress, busboy, dishwasher and the cook. Cocktail waitress did not have to split theirs. Use to make the waiters mad, but that is how they did it.
