Suddenly It Makes Sense Why Trump Commuted Blago's Sentence Now.....

[global1]

he's gonna have Blago campaign for him for re-election.

Blago's outside his house now holding a news conference and he's complemented Trump about 3 or 4 times now.

Blago a Dem says he's now a Trumpocrat. I wonder if this was his quid quo pro for being freed?

[no_hypocrisy]

1. A former felon will seal the deal for Trump

with 12% of Independents?

I don't think so.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

2. If campaigning for Fat Nixon was sleazoid Blago's half of the quid pro quo,

that wouldn't be much of a deal since it would be sort of like having Jeffrey Dahmer recommend your restaurant.

[PRETZEL]

5. +1

3. Nothing from trump is free.

Lies. Lies are free.

[Wellstone ruled]

4. Did anyone notice if he was taking

number slips?

[pwb]

6. For all of us who have had friends or family in the court system

this lawlessness is tough to take.

[snowybirdie]

9. I agree

The man humiliated the State of Illinois at a time we were most proud.

[frazzled]

7. Um, who would care what he has to say?

I don't see this as a rational scenario. A disgraced governor is not going to attract any Democrats, or frankly, Independents.

8. of course..hes gathering his generals for when he divvies up Amerika...

...just like hitler did...Blaggo most likely gets Chicagoland. Im just hoping trump* and Justin can work out a deal where trump* gets Greenland for the entire American West Coast...will save me the time of immigrating to Canada...

10. Not sure how having Blago campaigning for him will help him.

He wasn't well-loved by anyone. Commuting his sentence has pissed off members of both parties. Even Republicans are disgusted by it. Trump didn't do this for Blago's help. He did it because Blago was on his stupid TV show, and he heard Mrs. Blago crying on Fox "News." The only "help" Trump is getting out of this is that it is a distraction from all the other shit that's going on. And, it's an attempt cover his ass for his own quid pro quos.

12. Let's point out he has better hair...

That will piss Trump off

[GoCubsGo]

18. Yep. This is the exact kind of strategy we all need to be using.

He can't take being mocked and belittled in any way.

[redstatebluegirl]

20. And he went to jail trying to sell Obama's Senate seat.

Anything tied to Obama must be repaired according the large orange one.

[lame54]

11. Cut the Crat asshole - we don't want you

[Sanity Claws]

13. Trump is normalizing corruption

Nothing wrong with Blago taking bribes.
Nothing wrong with Blago stealing from charity.
Trump is guilty of the same crimes and is trying to make them seem normal, okay.

[maryellen99]

14. I think the pardons and clemencies were a distraction from this

[Demonaut]

15. it has something to do with Obama, Blago will help Trump undermine Obama's legacy

what it will be, I don't know

[bluestarone]

16. MY thoughts as well

Maybe Blago will LIE LIE LIE for tRUMP! Be ready for ANYTHING i guess!!

[Cracklin Charlie]

17. Mobster says what?

Trump trying to normalize his own criminal exploits using actual criminals.

[malaise]

19. I turned it off - one more low life

piece of shit criminal posing a a victim. Fuck him!

[redstatebluegirl]

21. I would love to see Blago's bank balance right now. Did it go up in the past few days?

Trump would like nothing more than to win Obama's state in 2020. Now Blago is hated by both parties in my home state, he is a slime bag and so is his wife.

[struggle4progress]

22. "I shall surround myself on all sides with corrupt folk beholden to me"

[Totally Tunsie]

23. But, but Blago says Chump "has a kind heart".

Need we know anymore than that?
