Should Trump pardon Manafort?

@NoFuxGiven Hmmm. Might it be that it's not the cover up that matters as much as the fact that illegal and unethical behavior are the kind of values that Trump is pushing to make America Great Again?

Don't we need to resist the Deep State who want to prevent great men like Trump and Manafort from doing what they want?

@MistyCee Yes we should speak out against such behavior. Trump considers Manafort a good man and believes that it’s such a tragedy that he was convicted. This is the new standards Trump wants us to live by?

@SimplyTracie Trump just wants loyalty from most of us, I'm sure. Most people aren't cut out to be soldiers, but as long as they vote for him, pay protection be and buy his stuff and don't get uppity, or start questioning him, he might even tolerate different skin colors or heritages.

@MistyCee Right, but should we be puppets? He’s the only leader I know of that wants these kinds of followers. I’ve read and listened to VP Pence and I cannot understand how he can sit still while Trump lies and wallows in slimy bullshit.

@SimplyTracie We haven't had leaders like Trump in the US before, tis true.

Guys like Pence, whether you agree with them or not, at least have a sense of duty to a higher power than themselves. In Pence's case, he probably thinks there's a decent chance he'll get the VP nomination again and have a shot at the Presidency as well, but mostly, I'm guessing he's just overjoyed at the anti-LBGT stuff and how radical far right policies can get implemented so well with so many people focusing on Trump's narcissism, criminality, etc.

McConnell and Graham seem to be doing the same thing, along with Ryan to some extent. They know Trump is unfit and dangerous but the money and votes are still rolling in right now and none of them has Trump's following.
