This was a good troll move: They will be talking about Trump for days instead of that convention of fools going on this week.
I think this is fooking hilarious.
Sure it’s a PR move.
I like it b/c Trump’s throwing a huge monkey wrench into the Dems holier-than-thou steppin’ n’ fetchin’ identity politics.
Let em ponder......why didnt Obama do it? (snx)
I'm sure they were involved in meaningless gestures of their own.
Bingo. With one sheet of paper, Trump derails the Democrat snooze fest with an unavoidable headline. Just brilliant. I’d say trolling, but this is real history making stuff.
Yeah, I'd like to see which box is checked on the original birth certificate.
I think it’s BRILLIANT. During this Dem. Freak Week, this is yet ANOTHER thing that the dems never did that PDJT does. BRAVO!
Makes me wonder why this wasn’t done before by a Democrat.
Bingo. Trump pulls another “ in your face” pointing out the hypocrisy of the Dems and their “ cherish the vote” meme, while getting a two fer with a woman who actually did something for all....
Take that Moochelle and Camel La you fake champions....
Are you kidding me? If THIS is the big pardon...holy crap. This was Javanka’s idea, 100%. “Daddy...daddy... i have the GREATEST idea!!! It will score SO many points with women! Please please please, daddy! You didn’t do my last suggestion— you owe me, daddy! I promise, they will LOVE you for this!”
Yeah, I'd like to see which box is checked on the original birth certificate.
What you said.
Just in time for the election. Trollinator strikes, again.
Yes, and not only that....but recently, Pelosi & Schiff wanted to limit Presidential pardons (not legislatively possible since the power is in the Constitution, but - whatever)
Trump...the guy who hates women...uses that presidential power to pardon a women who helped lead women's suffrage.
He now goes down in history, on the 100th anniversary of the 19th Amendment, as the guy who pardoned Anthony and not someone in the party who allegedly is the party of/for women.
He jabs Pelosi and Schiff on the issue of pardons, he takes some air time away from the socialists convention, he shows fence sitters (especially women) that he actually really doesn't hate women and that he actually really loves our country and Constitution.
The guy never stops amazing me with his political acumen.
It also amazes me how many on "our side" don't see this, any of this. Blinders I guess.
This is a very symbolic move , the meaning of which is not lost on the Pro-Life Movement. Susan B. Anthony was a champion of Women’s Rights, and she was also ANTI-Abortion. This causes cognitive dissonance in the current (alleged) Women’s Rights organizations.
Also, Susan B. Anthony was not afraid of being arrested in order to vote. This is a slap in the face of the demoncraps, who are trying to say that voting in person is dangerous due to COVID-19. SBA wasn’t afraid of arrest and imprisonment, but you guys are afraid of a virus?
What looks like a “silly” or meaningless pardon is actually quite fraught with meaning.
One of the largest Pro-Life Organizations takes its name from Susan B. Anthony.
Once again, President Trump thinks many moves ahead.
Just my humble opinion, but I think these are valid points that may have steered President Trump’s decision.
Well, I'd put the 17th and 16th as 1st and 2nd ahead of that in terms of catastrophic consequences for our Republic, but the 19th is surely 3rd on the list.
He doesn’t have to get their approval. He only has to get them to abstain, stay home or waste their votes in useless protests - which the type of Dem image voter this would influence very much would do.
Remember, he doesn’t have to get their votes to win. He just has to make sure Biden doesn’t get them.
I guess he thinks he is pandering for the female vote with this pardon of a dead person. Kind of silly and I am not sure it will get him any new votes.
Except the Troll Master sent the media and everyone here and elsewhere on a rabbit trail trying to figure out if it was Flynn or Stockton or whomever.
Once again, Trump sets the narrative for a partial news cycle.
I'm happy he didn't pardon whomever is responsible for the Susan B. Anthony dollar coin.
