Matt Bevins (R) Governor of Kentucky pardoned 400 including rapists and murderers

[cubby]

The point is complaining of one but when the other happened, it was ok because a Democrat did it. I think both are wrong.

Did he also free murders and rapists for money?

Or is this one of those "both sides" bullshit arguments you trumpkins do when it's a GOP member getting caught doing horrible things? Because you're incapable of just saying, "yeah, that's wrong, he shouldn't have done it"?

[GreenJesus]

Sadly, it isn't. That kind of stuff was never covered in the sex ed I received.

And the course I had would be far above what they teach in some US schools.

Yeh I dont think at a catholic school they would have gotten into the minute details of a hymen or that I would be paying attention enough to remember it 11 years later. Sorry I dont have a 200 IQ to remember every single thing a teacher says years later.

I seriously don't know what the fuck you read here, but way more often than not, the left leaning posters do not defend shit like this when a Dem does it. Typically, since I've been lurking and posting, the Dem supporters have been pretty good at policing our own and calling them out. Hell, Obama got tons of flak from Dem supporters on this board over far less than what Trump has done, yet your side here has pedophile supporters, Trump sycophants who claim he has never done anything wrong since taking office in far greater numbers than the Obama sycophants, and GOP supporters who claim the killing Heather Heyer was justified. Yet I have rarely seen that shit here form the left side of things. Yet daily your side fills this board with conspiracy theory after conspiracy theory, and spreads propaganda and lies.

This is hardly one of those double standard both sides BS.

I thought this thread was about this guy pardoning rapists and murderers not some random democrat.

It's the typical little brother inferiority complex these so called conservatives have.

Which is worse? Freeing a half dozen real bad guys or helping a couple hundred thousand felons in a path to restoring gun rights?

Yes, that's the point of my second quote. He's not just wrong, he's multiplely wrong.

I think the term you want is Fractal Wrongness.

Hentai? What the fuck did you do in sex ed in school? This shit is taught there.

Depends. My public school education covered it in the early 90s. Didn't cover alot except "Don't do it. Unless you are married. Only for procreation. Missionary position only. Lights off. Blankets up. And don't you fucking dare enjoy it. or your penis will rot off."

For real life, the only thing it really taught me? Afterwards I could identify a herpetic sore on a penis at about 20 paces.

Honestly, I can't remember thing from sex ed. I know they taught the various diseases, but after that not a damn thing. There was nothing about condoms or birth control, no "do it only married or else" kind of rhetoric, just.....nothing. Of course my parents never went into any of that either, at all, not even any religious "do that and you're in hell" stuff, just more nothing.

As much as I hate to say it I've learned more about sex from a men's sexual health forum and porn than I ever did from school.

It's OK when attacking the left or defending "Reasonable (cough far righ cough) alternate political views." though.

Oh suddenly you're for reasonable gun control.

The FBI is looking into it.

Even his own party is distancing from him. There might be a hope for it to go through.

In Hungary - where I live - all presidential pardons need to be countersigned by the Minister of Justice.

It suddenly makes sense.*


*although considering the way your (R) dudes stick together it probably would not work, just like how Senate isn't even trying to be a check on Trump

Here in the US, our equivalent of the Minister of Justice (William Barr) is complicit in the Presidents actions. However in this case, it's the "states rights" bit allowing the Governor to pardon state (not federal) crimes.

Yeah, I know that part. I just mentioned presidential pardons becasue we don't have any other kind. The point was needing someone else to sign off on it.

I hope to god there are some bogoyevitch level tapes from this idiot yes you have large pardon powers but there are limits to all things.

Same. Some of those are beyond even the most ridiculous version of "reasonable". I'm trying to find out if pardons can be rolled back if they are found to be "illegal".

Makes you wonder what the point of rules are if they are selectively enforced. Why should we obey them if they aren't applied equally?

I mean, the fact that he lost gave them the cover to turn on him.
