Sigh.
So you don't have a reputable source then. A little once-a-week small town local paper doesn't cut it unless you have creditable backup for it. _________________ �Let's eat Grandma.� Commas save lives! |

“There appears to be an error with Orlando Health’s number on that report,” said Alayna Curry, a spokeswoman for Orlando Health. “We’re looking into how this happened.” |

Good, we are getting this sweeping claim you made about major inaccuracies narrowed down to a piddly little error in a single district.
In other words, as expected in the first place. Nothing to see here, move along please. _________________ �Let's eat Grandma.� Commas save lives! |

I love the way the the World's Worst Manager (WWM) sends out a minion to throw red meat to the Khmer Rouge Hats rather than actually leading. In this case, he's using Navarro to attack Fauci because he'd look like an even bigger coc@head if he did it himself.
The problem is, while the piece of dog faeces thinks it protects his image while boosting his base, it does nothing to protect the nation against the virus and the uncertainty it's causing.
Two-faced media games don't work when serious, unified direction is required. But, as ever, it's all about that vile piece of dog faeces first, and serious management second. What a creep.

I know you struggle with numbers and stats, so it doesn't surprise me that you don't understand the concept of data errors. |

The faux outrage over Trump's commutation of Stone's sentence is laughable.
Obama commuted 1,715 people as opposed to Trump (11), Bush Jr (11) and Clinton (61). I also read that Clinton issued 140 pardons on his final day in office which created much controversy.
Didn't see any outrage from the usual suspects when Obama was exercising that Presidential power in his 8 years as President. _________________ | 1902 | 1903 | 1910 | 1917 | 1919 | 1927 | 1928 | 1929 | 1930 | 1935 | 1936 | 1953 | 1958 | 1990 | 2010 | 2023 | |

It starts and ends with the message that Trump gave by this decision - "Lie for me and I'll protect you." It's unacceptable. As to the other commutations and pardons, who actually cares? Even if every single one of those was a farce, it would not make this one acceptable. |

To follow up my question, here are the kinds of people who had sentences commuted by Obama:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_people_granted_executive_clemency_by_Barack_Obama
Quote: | Most individuals granted executive clemency by Obama had been convicted on drug charges, and had received lengthy and sometimes mandatory sentences at the height of the war on drugs. |
As I said above, I don’t really believe that presidents should have the ability to override the courts. But Obama clearly used those powers for good. Comparing that list to Trump’s is pretty eye-opening:

The only way that will change is if the US Constitution is amended.
What's always interested me the most is whether a sitting President can pardon themselves. It would be interesting to see it tested in the US Supreme Court. _________________ | 1902 | 1903 | 1910 | 1917 | 1919 | 1927 | 1928 | 1929 | 1930 | 1935 | 1936 | 1953 | 1958 | 1990 | 2010 | 2023 | |

Gee, imagine the effect it would have on the tv/movie industry if someone could not get a presidential pardon just seconds before their death penalty was about to be executed. _________________ How would Siri know when to answer "Hey Siri" unless it is listening in to everything you say? |

Isn’t there a classic 18th/19th century poem about that? The name of it escapes me, but I remember it being about a man on the day of his execution waiting for a letter with a governor’s pardon that may or may not come. _________________ "Every time we witness an injustice and do not act, we train our character to be passive in its presence." – Julian Assange |
