What a tool! One of the worst of them. I really hope he loses his seat.
First of all, the guy who wrote the Tweet (Jason Miller) has been avoiding for months if not more than a year appearing in court to take financial responsibility for a child he fathered with one of his staff while married to another woman who was also pregnant. He's also been accused of foisting an abortion drug on a different woman he impregnated via a "smoothie" he gave her to drink. Not to mention the fact he's acknowledged he's visited prostitutes on numerous occasions over several years.
He's a piece of crap.
Secondly, the governor of Delaware issued a pardon at the recommendation of the state Bureau of Pardons in conjunction with the Department of Justice. Miller is engaged in distraction tactics. Don't be fooled.
Half of me wants to tell him to do his own research, but that research seems to 95% include an echo chamber that will reinforce what he thinks are trustworthy sources.
Imagine quoting that utter scumbag Miller and not hesitating to hit post reply based on the source.
I wonder if they will suggest others who are more needy? What a great position to be in. I hope I'm wrong but I only see Kelly winning out of those three.
I hope you are wrong, too. But you are most likely correct.
If Graham wins, he is going to be even more insufferable.

That does sound really bad about this Miller, although I'm not really interested in the man just what he's saying in this tweet and whether its correct.
So the democrat governor did pardon this anarchist ... Bit of a recurring theme, isn't it? Harris gets dangerous people out of prison and back on the streets and now Democrat governors are doing the same.
I'm a little surprised you've offered that defence for the governor in question. Since it is ultimately his decision and not some bureau of whatever. He didn't do his homework obviously. This man should never have been released.
I answered your question and added context which should have been instructive.
Meantime your position that pardons or early-release of prisoners should be predicated on knowledge of future acts is noted.
I always appreciate anyone that answers a question. Thank you.
There's a nice quote from Marcus Aurelius that I tend to agree with:
“That to expect bad people not to injure others is crazy. It's to ask the impossible. And to let them behave like that to other people but expect them to exempt you is arrogant--the act of a tyrant.”
Hmm. I wonder if you might have applied the Marcus Aurelius quote to Mr. Trump.
Specifically in this case, since you bring up Marcus Aurelius, you might refer to Meditations 11.18 which provides some balance to the single quote you pulled from him. He was a Stoic so, naturally, balance (context?) is important.
