President Donald Trump certainly hinted that he plans to pardon former Arizona sheriff Joe Arpaio during a rally in Phoenix on Tuesday.

When the president asked rally attendees if they liked “Sheriff Joe,” the crowd erupted in cheers.

“So was Sheriff Joe convicted for doing his job?” Trump said to more cheers. “He should have had a jury, but I’ll make a prediction: I think he’s going to be just fine.”

He added, “But I won’t do it tonight because I don’t want to cause any controversy. Is that OK? But Sheriff Joe can feel good."

Trump’s comments come after reports had already suggested he plans to pardon the controversial figure.

What happened with the court case?
The woman dropped the lawsuit.

She claimed she was raped in 1994 but didn't know who it was. Fast forward a decade later, she says she watched The Apprentice and recognized Trump's face as the man that raped her. Fast forward a decade later, after a couple DUI's, drug arrests, and a home foreclosure, she decided to sue Trump in the middle of the election.

Seems legit.

Rape trauma syndrome (RTS) is the psychological trauma experienced by a rapevictim that includes disruptions to normal physical, emotional, cognitive, and interpersonal behavior. The theory was first described by psychiatrist Ann Wolbert Burgess and sociologist Lynda Lytle Holmstrom in 1974.[1]

RTS is a cluster of psychological and physical signs, symptoms and reactions common to most rape victims immediately following and for months or years after a rape.[2] While most research into RTS has focused on female victims, sexually abused males (whether by male or female perpetrators) also exhibit RTS symptoms.[3][4] RTS paved the way for consideration of complex post-traumatic stress disorder, which can more accurately describe the consequences of serious, protracted trauma than posttraumatic stress disorder alone.[5] The symptoms of RTS and post-traumatic stress syndrome overlap. As might be expected, a person who has been raped will generally experience high levels of distress immediately afterward. These feelings may subside over time for some people; however, individually each syndrome can have long devastating effects on rape victims and some victims will continue to experience some form of psychological distress for months or years. It has also been found that rape survivors are at high risk for developing substance use disorders, major depression, generalized anxiety disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and eating disorders.[6]

President Donald Trump was reluctant to send more troops to Afghanistan after years of saying the war was “wasting our money.” So national security adviser H.R. McMaster used a 1972 photo of Afghan women in miniskirts to show the president that the country had once adopted Western values and to convince him to escalate the war, according to The Washington Post.

McMaster reportedly showed Trump a black-and-white snapshot of bare-legged women in Kabul to illustrate that the region might be able to embrace Western ideals again. Miniskirts were replaced by full-body burqas in the mid-1990s, when the Taliban took over Afghanistan, banned Western clothing and rolled back women’s rights. The Taliban now controls only parts of the country, but many Afghan women still choose to wear traditional burqas because it makes them feel safer from violence and judgment in a society where gender-based violence is rampant.

Justice Department pulls back on search warrant for visitors to Trump-protest website
The federal government backpedaled Tuesday after its request for data about visitors to an anti-Trump website was slammed as a broad violation of free speech protections.

"The government values and respects the First Amendment right of all Americans to participate in peaceful political protests and to read protected political expression online," federal prosecutors said in a supplemental filing in D.C. Superior Court, which asked a judge to let it amend a search warrant it filed last month.

The warrant was filed against DreamHost, the web hosting company for Disrupt20.org, a group of activists who organized protests that led to the arrests of more than 200 people during Donald Trump's inauguration as president in January.

The initial warrant sought information on DreamHost servers about all visitors to DisruptJ20, a request that DreamHost strongly resisted, arguing that it would allow investigators to identify more than 1.3 million people who visited the site — the vast majority of whom had no connection to the Jan. 20 protests.

"In just one example of the staggering overbreadth of the search warrant, it would require DreamHost to turn over the IP logs of all visitors to the site," said the electronic Frontier Foundation, a nonprofit internet privacy group. "Millions of visitors — activists, reporters, or you (if you clicked on the link) — would have records of their visits turned over to the government."

The warrant itself remains shielded from the public, but the Justice Department hasn't contested that it was seeking server log files that would reveal IP addresses, which are internet locators that make it relatively easy to track otherwise anonymous web users.

Monday, the nonprofit activist group Public Citizen, calling the warrant a "witch hunt," sought to intervene in the case on behalf of five anonymous people who it said had no connection to the protests but whose identities would be outed by the warrant.

In a supplemental filing on Tuesday, the Justice Department asked a D.C. Superior Court judge to let it amend its request after Public Citizen and other critics called the warrant a clear abuse of government authority.

"The government has no interest in records relating to the 1.3 million IP addresses that are mentioned in DreamHost's numerous press releases and opposition brief," said the new filing, called a reply brief, which asked the court to order DreamHost likewise not to disclose the contents of affected unpublished materials it might originally have sought.

"The warrant — like the criminal investigation — is singularly focused on criminal activity," prosecutors wrote. "It will not be used for any other purpose."

The filing indicates that investigators began the case with a fundamental misunderstanding of what they were asking for.

Russian Officials Made Additional, Previously Unreported Efforts To Connect Putin With Trump Campaign: CNN reports that Rick Dearborn, a former Trump campaign official and current deputy chief of staff in the White House, sent an email last year referring to a previously unreported effort by someone from "WV" — apparently West Virginia — to arrange a meeting between the Trump campaign and Russian President Vladimir Putin. It's unclear whether the meeting ever took place, although Dearborn's reference to the effort was reportedly skeptical. The newly reported email was among the 20,000 emails that the Trump campaign has handed over to congressional committees.


Paul Ryan Urges Trump Not To Shut Down Government Over Border Wall Funding: In his Phoenix speech, President Trump suggested he might shut down the federal government if Congress wouldn't agree to fund his border wall. On Wednesday, Paul Ryan and other congressional leaders urged the President to reconsider the threat.

The stereotype of leftists and socialists on the right wing is one of spoiled losers, unemployed, listless, with no regard for economics or the law.

But just how true is this stereotype?

According to a public survey on Reddit’s r/socialism board, it’s painfully accurate. The survey was taken via Google Forms and asked the users a series of questions about their station in life and political views.


According to the survey – in which the results were self-admitted by the predominantly leftist users of the board – 48% of the young socialists (nearly half) are unemployed, and a stratospherically high number of 61% still live with their parents
Furthermore, the results found that 69% of the board’s users were uneducated, 46% (nearly half) support violent riots, and just 14% support the constitutional definition of unlimited free speech.

These percentages are both appalling and exactly what we expected at the same time.

After the results of the poll were posted, members of Reddit’s r/Drama quickly found and posted the numbers to mock /r/socialism. As to be expected, the proponents of socialism were shredded in the comments for fulfilling the exact stereotype that we had long since suspected to be true on the far left – they are unemployed, uneducated communist losers.


Sad!

This is not the first time that documentation of leftists being losers has been confirmed, as a study of Antifa activists in Europe confirmed that 9 out of 10 leftist protestors still live with their parents.

Ultimately, this goes to show why communist dimwits like Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren are so heavily supported by young leftists – stupid candidates for stupid people.
