President Trump uses his power to free some friends in a move that might signal future moves. President Obama touts all his “successes” while he was President and gets lit up. We could be seeing the beginning of the end for the Boy Scouts of America. And I saw all four XFL games this weekend. Eh….
Not Sure This Was a Good Move
Donald Trump has decided to pardon or commute the sentences of several convicted felons. Those people might sound familiar. Here’s the list:
- Michael Milken – Sentenced to 10 years for racketeering, securities fraud and other charges. Fined $600 million but is worth $3.8 billion.
- Rod Blagojevich – Served in the Illinois House of Representatives. Conspiracy to commit mail and wire fraud. Set to serve 14 years. If you don’t remember him, he tried selling a seat in the Senate opened from the newly elected President Barrack Obama. Not sure of this one.
Were these good releases. Yeah, if you look at the crime versus the judgement.
Let’s look at each.
- There’s a reason why Presidents wait until the end of their terms to release people. But I think this is a prelude to Trump letting Roger Stone go. I don’t think it’s a good look.

Face Moded
So Barrack Obama made a Trump-style claim on Twitter this week saying:
James Woods, one of my favorite Tweeters and back from some time off of Twitter, blasted Obama’s Tweet. The former actor said:
Of course, Trump reacted immediately. He posted this on Twitter:
Then, I think Trump had a little time to think about it and he released a far more detailed statement:
He’s absolutely correct.
