Trump pardons Kwame Kilpatrick

Link.

28 years does seem pretty damn excessive, considering his actions never got anyone killed (as far as we know) unlike some OTHER Michigan politicians who did, and who are likely to get nothing more than a slap on the wrist for it.

Kwame should run for president in 2024. Everyone else will. The only time I ever saw Kwame in person was at the Detroit International Auto Show, surrounded by bodyguards, with sinister looks on their faces, practically encouraging a confrontation.

A few years earlier, when Dennis Archer was mayor, he migrated about Cobo by himself, and even occupied the urinal next to me at one point during the day. I nodded, and he nodded back.

Yeah, Kilpatrick was a bad guy. He deserved to go to jail.

I just wish we enforced the laws consistently, because he is far from being the only elected official during his time in office -or since - who deserved a lengthy prison sentence.

Kinda wonder what's going through the collective minds of political machines/families when brutes like Kwame Kilpatrick get moved to positions of leadership. they could all keep feeding at the trough if they just show a modicum of restraint and common sense...

He didn't pardon assange that was a mistake.

He didn't pardon here either, his record still stands. Just commuted the sentence.
