Awkward: Sheriff Arpaio Learns on TV that Accepting Trump’s Pardon was Legal Confession (VIDEO)

When Joe Arpaio accepted a pardon from President Donald Trump after his conviction for violating a court order, he apparently didn’t realize that he was admitting wrongdoing.

Enter MSNBC’s Ari Melber (a lawyer) who broke the news to the man who recently announced his candidacy for United States Senate.

What ensued was quite the awkward exchange, where Arpaio insisted he did nothing wrong, only for Melber to inform him that he’s already said otherwise.

Claim: Trump Has None Disclosure Agreement With A Second Porn Star

Something that fell through the cracks on Saturday as the country was momentarily distracted by a false alarm involving a nuclear attack on Hawaii.

I don’t know why I’m calling this a “claim,” really.

“Claim” implies that it’s some publication alleging that the NDA exists based on a shadowy anonymous source.

That’s not what this is. It’s the spokesman for the porn star herself, Jessica Drake, who’s alleging it — or who was alleging it, I should say.

“Jessica’s NDA blankets any and every mention of Trump, so she’s legally unable to comment,” her publicist, Josh Ortiz, informed The Daily Beast. “
Jessica signed a non-disclosure agreement after her allegations of misconduct, and she can’t do as much as peep his name publicly.”

Shortly after the Daily Beast published that, a panicky Ortiz contacted them again.

NDA? Who said anything about a NDA?

“I made an incorrect assumption due to a grave misunderstanding regarding Jessica Drake’s ability to speak or comment about matters relating to President Trump,” Ortiz said in a statement supplied by Drake’s lawyer, Gloria Allred.
“I have never been told directly, or indirectly, Jessica Drake signed a Non Disclosure Agreement or reached any settlement in regards to any interactions with President Trump.
My misunderstanding resulted in incorrect information being provided to The Daily Beast and undue stress to Jessica Drake, for which I am truly sorry.”

He erroneously thought his client, an adult film star, had a nondisclosure agreement with the president of the United States.

Simple mistake, could happen to anyone.

Let me gently offer an alternate possibility: There’s an NDA, the NDA explicitly says that Drake and her spokesmen aren’t allowed to acknowledge the existence of the NDA, and Ortiz accidentally breached the agreement when he confirmed its existence in his first comment to the Daily Beast.

Then he tried to put the genie back in the bottle.

Jessica Drake is one of the women who accused Trump of misconduct before the 2016 election, although the misconduct in this case involved neither harassment nor assault.

She claims she met Trump in 2006, the same year he allegedly met Stephanie “Stormy Daniels” Clifford.

He invited her to his room (she went, but with two friends), they spent some time chatting, and eventually he contacted her by phone to offer her $10,000 for sex, or so she said at a press conference in October 2016.

Today, curiously, she’s completely unwilling to discuss anything having to do with Trump — although it’s certainly not because of any nondisclosure agreement, no sir.

This guy was chasing porn stars and Playboy models in 2006 while his wife of less than a year was either pregnant or nursing his infant son.

In Infamous Meeting, Trump Spoke of Attracting Asian Immigrants
By Rich Lowry — January 16, 2018
Everyone is putting such weight on last Thursday’s White House meeting, it’d be nice to have a transcript to know exactly what was said. As it is, we are working off differing, fuzzy accounts that, while broadly consistent, are inevitably influenced by the viewpoints of the various participants (my favorite Russian adage: No one lies like an eyewitness). Plus, the meeting, as the Washington Post describes it this morning, “was short, tense and often dominated by loud cross-talk and swearing.”


I thought this passage in the Post account was notable: “[Trump] also objected that Democratic proposals to adjust the visa lottery and federal policy for immigrants with temporary protected status were going to drive more people from countries he deemed undesirable into the United States instead of attracting immigrants from places like Norway and Asia, people familiar with the meeting said.”


Now, I don’t think a president should talk the way Trump does, and if he thinks it’s impossible to get good immigrants from ramshackle, dysfunctional countries, he’s obviously wrong. But much of the argument that his comments exposed a hideous racism is that, while dumping on “sh**house” countries, he said he wanted immigrants from Norway, an overwhelmingly white country.


I believe he said this for two reasons: 1) He’d just met with the prime minster of Norway, who had spun him up about all the wonders of Norway; 2) Norway was a way to contrast immigrants with education and skills to those without.


This interpretation is buttressed by the Post’s sentence. What do immigrants from Norway and Asia have in common? It’s not that they are white. It’s that they are skilled, or at least associated with skills.

The absence of volunteer plans by Trump is especially glaring as he faces accusations of racism following reports that he made derogatory comments about Haiti and African nations.

Too old for DACA, man who spent 30 years of his life in U.S. is deported.



His arms wrapped around his wife and two teenage children, Jorge Garcia's eyes welled up Monday as he looked into their eyes one last time near the entrance to the airport security gate.

His wife, Cindy Garcia, cried out while his daughter, Soleil, 15, sobbed into Garcia's shoulder as they hugged, with two U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents keeping a close eye on them.

After 30 years of living in the United States, Jorge Garcia, a 39-year-old landscaper from Lincoln Park, Mich., was deported on the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday to Mexico, a move his supporters say is another example of immigrants being unfairly targeted under the Trump administration.

An undocumented family member brought Jorge Garcia to the U.S. when he was 10 years old. Today he has a wife and two children, all of whom are U.S. citizens.

Jorge Garcia had been facing an order of removal from immigration courts since 2009, but under the previous administration, he had been given stays of removal. Because of the Trump administration's crackdown on immigration, in November Jorge Garcia was ordered to return to Mexico.

His supporters say he has no criminal record — not even a traffic ticket — and pays taxes every year.

Garcia is not a 'bad hombre.'
He has no criminal record.
He was supporting his family and paying his taxes.
Now his family has lost their breadwinner.
His deportation destroys a family, and benefits no one.

Part of what they found is the Laffer Curve peaks at 33%. Going above that reduces the revenue and decreases the GDP by 3% for every 1% above 33%. I guess you and Obama think it is just being fair when the government loses money!!! But then he had the worst GDP of any president.

Misty is an Obama lover.
