Weak on terror. As long as it makes the libs angry!
Where is Mike Pence? Pathetic.

Remember those nuts back in 2015?
Armed militia facing down the Police?
Trump is siding with the law-breakers and giving them a pardon!
WTF
Based purely on politics - nothing to do with justice. Pathetic.

The Hammonds, however, never asked for the help of the Bundys or the militia members, and amid it all, quietly headed to prison.
Moreover, they served most of their five year sentences and the father is 76 years old:
The pardons will shave some time off the Hammonds’ sentences — Dwight Hammond has served three years and Steven Hammond has served four.

I don't consider these pardons that outrageous unlike say Arpaio's.

He's now running for Flake's spot in the Senate. God save us.

He can pardon only federal crimes. Most truly outrageous acts are state crimes as well.
Originally posted by @philokaliaIF OWS had been armed with firearms, there most likely would have been massacres.
Just curious... Did you approve of the peaceful occupation of various sites during OWS?
Did you approve of the controlled rioting and destruction of cop cars in Baltimore?
What makes you interested in seeing these guys feet held to the fire?
The Bundys and the Wildlife occupiers were treated with kid gloves.
But that's not the Hammonds' fault.
