A New Drinking Game?
A lot of us have been engaging in a drinking game since Cheeto Jesus’ inauguration. Here’s the game: Think of the absolute worst person that he could nominate for an administration position, and when he nominates that person, DRINK! Personally, the game has been tough on my liver these last 7 months. Well, we have a new drinking game that we can start right away…
Think of the absolute LAST criminal that any sane president would pardon, and when he pardons that person, DRINK! That’s right, folks – we have a new game. Think of the LAST person on the planet, especially in light of the events of last weekend, that Trump should pardon. The last person that any president, no matter how tone deaf and ignorant, would let off the hook…
That’s right, folks, Donald Trump, Worst. President. Ever., is “seriously considering” pardoning…wait for it…former Arizona sheriff Joseph Arpaio, recently convicted of criminal contempt for ignoring a judge’s order to stop rounding up and persecuting Latinos. Arpaio is probably one of our country’s most famous loud-mouthed bigots, who came to notoriety for violating the civil and human rights of thousands of people, dressing them in pink underwear, housing them in sweltering tents in the desert, feeding them rotten food, and and unjustly imprisoning them in these conditions with almost complete impunity until recently. When the jig was up, Arpaio shot the justice system the finger, continuing his unlawful activities until charge with contempt.
Naturally, Trump simply can’t abide any kind of reasonable verdict for one of his base’s most favorite racists, so he’s announced to Fox Noise that he’s seriously considering pardoning him.
It’s morning, but I’m drinking.
