    Trump just commuted the sentence of Sholom Rubashkin. Here's the backstory to that case:http://bit.ly/2BqOBVG

        Not surprised, #TrumpsAmericaNow USA today is Officially an Oligarchy. More & more evidence made public daily. Hell they're not even trying to hide it Now. Arpaio was just the beginning. Militarized Police & Prisons Law & Order only for the privileged Classes. #ActUpNow #Resist

        I think more like a Law & Order: Criminal Intent. You know, the official show of the Trump Administration.

        I lived in PA when the judges were sending kids to the private prisons for kickback money. Thousands of families were broken. The effects of that crime reach long into the future with kids, now adults, carrying that burden. This is hell, and we are living in it

        Thus guaranteeing herself and her husband a tidy retirement account despite the rather obvious "appearance of impropriety".

        @realDonaldTrump is the biggest horse’s ass to ever sit in the Oval Office. And by far the most abusive of its power. This semi-sentient turd needs to be flushed before completely tainting the executive branch with his OBVIOUS corruption! #ImpeachTrumpNow #Impeach45 #CorruptGOP
