It totally boggles the mind

To think that 45 considers Blagojevich's sentence was too lengthy....

He's imprisoned thousands of people who didn't even break the law. They came to the border seeking asylum, which is EXACTLY what they're supposed to do when they're seeking asylum, and they've been put in cages for years. They've been separated from their families. They're guilty of nothing.

Kind of tough to wrap your head around that one.

I just want him gone, the sooner the better. He's done way too much damage, and he's doing more by the day. That he loses the next election would not be satisfying or relieving because he won't be gone sooner.

To Trump, mercy and clemency apply mainly to the wealthy and well-connected, especially if they are cronies. The rest of humanity are at best inconsequential, and at worst sub-human. The milk of human kindness has run pretty thin in conservative circles for many years, anyways...

The only reason trump intervened is because his wife went on Fox and talked about the witch-hunt.
