Of all the things Trump has done so far, I think this may very well be the worst. Well, & Transgender Ban. Anything that hurts US citizens.

This makes me sick.
-
Yes. This and the transgender ban today. Do you think staff had to bribe him with awfulness to get through hurricane briefing?
-
My transgender student was worried that Trump's ban labels him as mentally ill. Wtf world awaits him when he graduates in the spring?
-
Oh I am so sorry - these characters refuse to convey my horror as a parent and citizen. I promise we will keep pushing back and reaching out
-
I'm with you. Also, I told my student the ban is not a reflection of him, but further evidence of Trump's mental illness.
-
"I'm not even a little surprised; he is morally bankrupt" said my wise friend.

I went to law school because I wanted to prevent the exploitation of people's
#civilliberties. Arpaio was just pardoned for those violations -
Is it possible for a pres pardon to be overturned or even stayed since the sentencing hasn't occurred yet?
-
Almost definitely not. Pardons can happen before conviction even. See:https://www.buzzfeed.com/chrisgeidner/the-president-actually-has-enormous-power-to-pardon?utm_term=.clLa3nmoq#.owVp5zy62 …

So there's no check on that portion of his power? I'm finding this tough to accept... gimme some hope here Chris.

I did. None of them abused an elected office to deprive dozens of people of their rights or tortured the mentally ill.

Incredible. Trump pardons Arpaio with a Category 4 hurricane bearing down on the United States.https://twitter.com/chrisgeidner/status/901233201796055040 …

Kinda tells you it wasn't for publicity (using hurricane as cover), but instead something he just desperately wanted to do.
