Came Across These On The Net

Statue protestors' signs in New York-- "Columbus didn't discover America.. he invaded it."

A article was published on the net for gun control advocates. It said if ya wanna bring around conservatives to call for gun control all we have to do is start running ads encouraging 'Black Lives Matter', MOVE and others to exert their second amendment rights. Then run around with a bunch of firearms. That'll get their attention real quick.

Regarding the hurricane in Texas. Before the storm hit it was said stores ran out of bottled water. In stores several fights broke out over the few remaining cases. OMG I didn't realize homes in Texas don't have running water. I mean after all if they did people could have used sink faucets to fill containers ahead of time. It's still not too late. I heard it's raining water out of the sky. DUH !

Then there is this...
Trump pardons controversial Arizona sheriff Joe Arpaio after he was convicted of contempt.

Seems to me if he wants immigrants to follow the letter of the law he's not setting a good example. Not when laws only apply to some and not others. What kind of signal is this sending?

Some may argue, what about Obama?
Well there is a difference between commuting a sentence for those already sentenced and granting a pardon before someone was even sentenced as was the case with Joe Arpaio. According to Wikipedia-- "By the end of his presidency on January 20, 2017, Barack Obama had exercised his constitutional power to grant executive clemency—that is, "pardon, commutation of sentence, remission of fine or restitution, and reprieve"—to 1,927 individuals convicted of federal crimes." If you will note, not a single one was before their sentencing.

If this is any indication of Trump's willingness to issue pardons we could be headed towards a constitutional crisis. Let's suppose Trump grants pardons to those being investigated within his administration. This means if they are called before congress, by law they could no longer exert their fifth amendments rights against self incrimination. Thus forced to testify (possibly against Trump). If they still refused they then could be held in contempt. But once again it's conceivable at that point Trump could issue another pardon to them. Now what? Where would we go from there?
