Mmm, let's consider this. Trump and Melania launch Crypto Currency. Trump needs a "Manager with a particular Talent" . Trump pardons Crypto Criminal Ross Ulbricht. Join the dots.
I wouldn’t be so absolute, it gives too much credit to Trump’s intellect ^^ It’s generally preferable to not immediately attribute to malevolence what can reasonably be attributed to incompetence or neglect. Now, maybe those things are linked, I don’t know. It’s just a healthy rule of thumb.
businessmen tend to have a team to further their own profitability, growth, and power. it's not a ludicrous idea if he uses his power as president to further his own goals. it's naive as best to not think it's self-serving.
Can’t disagree to that, but as side notes: i wouldn’t call everyone around him “geniuses”, and i m pretty sure he listens only when he feels like it, for instance if he doesn’t grasp an idea being presented to him as politically relevant I can easily imagine him just ignoring it.
The saddest thing is that America's rulers have convinced so many that what they do to us here is normal. People don't even see that it could be so much better so easily.
Clearly, America is not civilised! Or though I would correct myself and say the American government is not, many Americans clearly are, not least Bishop Budde it seems.
Pardoning January 6 rioters and now a drug dealer. What next with Al Trumpone? Rapists and pedophiles so that they can enter his administration? #Abhorent and #vile from day one.
What a coincident! Drugs keep shipping into the country and the POTUS makes sure the business remains! The poorest has to pay for the adventure, like always. Nothing has changed.
This guy destroyded thousand of lives/families..killed a lot of people...
But i guess he will have a job with Leon now..good at computers an a great drugdealer
One of the funny points of these is that some Trump supporters indicated that Trump would fight stronger against drugs as fentanyl. He has just indulted to the founder of a great system of drug selling and distribution. Good luck in believing new promises
Don't ever accuse Canada and Mexico of letting fentanyl in. If you had passed the border bill you would have more fentanyl detectors. Your border guards are supposed to catch that. Pardoned dark web drug traffickers is the problem.
I believe that 1. Trump is taking money for pardons. And 2. This was more than a random pardon. They need him for something. Let’s see if he works for the govt or Musk in any capacity.
Yup. He was the market maker for cartels to move their product. Trump said that since the libertarians were good to him he's going to let Ross go free.
Difference is he didn’t produce nor sold the drugs himself.. but offered an online space where individuals could do that… and collected a small fee for it in digital currency (made up money, especially back then).. Important details.
How many Trump and melania meme coins did he buy for his freedom?
As a grifter, Trump has leveled up substantially from giving favors to foreign nationals who stay at his hotels to now those who dump millions into his crypto.
Is this the same Trump who wants to punish Canada & Mexico for “flooding the USA with fentanyl”? So, he may be a criminal drug dealer but he’s ours so that’s all good? 🤔
Gave him libertarian votes and didn't cost him anything to pardon Ross, and was the right thing to do. He served a inhumane sentence, based on accusations of crimes he was probably completely innocent of, cooked up by 2 corrupt FBI guys who stole bitcoins from him, in order to smear his credibility
Did Ulbricht supply drugs for Trump’s family or friends? We need some investigative journalism. Don’t be gullible to think he was pardoned because of his Mom.
He's served more than a decade. It's the one and only thing Trump has done that I agree with. Let's not push Ross into MAGA's arms. Also, I hear he grows really good mushrooms! 👍
Wait, wait… he want to put tariffs in place because of drugs entering the country, but pardons this guy. I’m starting to think he may be a lying, hypocritical fascist.
By ‘starting to think’ I of course mean verifiably correct in previous summations.
If Trump pardons Ross Ulbricht because it was entrapment, is he going to release all the other people in prison after being entrapped by Homeland security? 🤔
The group of Silicon Valley oligarchs now in power in the US. I gather they call themselves 'bros'. @gilduran.com has done a lot of work on them, and @carolecadwalla.bsky.social
He’s clearly not receiving, or not grasping, pros and cons on these actions. This means whoever talks to him last – more to the point, whoever types the document he signs – is the real president. This is big trouble.
FYI Donald Trump owns the USA's entire government. Both houses of congress
, the Supreme Court majority, DOD, Doj, Dot, Doe. FBI,CIA,NSA,HMS, and every other part of the fed. He is the only person responsible for all of it. Win or lose. He is the ruler of the world....also, he is an 80 year old.
So… the murder for hire marketplace will be back soon. Groovy. Maybe it’ll get bought by Amazon so we can all get 5% cash back for using our Prime credit cards. 💳🧐🤔😳🤣😳😳😳
It’s probably just another thing that they didn’t think through, like undermining the international order which made them all super wealthy. They think chaos is their friend, until Putin finds one of them inconvenient and spikes their Brawndo with polonium.
You should probably emphasize more the 'allowed people to sell child sexual abuse material on his website' part more than the drugs part. Removes any possibility for sympathy.
With Trump it is all keeping himself in the limelight by creating distractions that the media follows. He won the election by using formula. You must allow this type of rhetoric to become laughable and non affective.
You would think the democrats would be able to make a damning argument against it. Though they don’t seem to be very good at anything these days. What of the cops. Silent I guess.
So he and the republicans scream about the border and all the dangerous immigrants and yet they are fine with a drug kingpin going back to kill our children and others.
A full pardon from Trump for one of the biggest drug kingpins on the planet in history just to get the votes of crypto-loving libertarians?! & Trump has been complaining about the fentanyl deaths & wants to go after drug lords by invading Mexico?
What do the Republican members of Congress think about this? They should be asked everyday about this and the rest of the disgusting pardons & commutations everyday. And frankly this should be the basis for introducing an impeachment resolution ... monthly.
A reminder of how transactional Trump is .... how many remaining actions are going to come at the expense of the justice system or the good of the country. Trump's overarching mission is self preservation a result of being compromised ...
“The scum that worked to convict him were some of the same lunatics who were involved in the modern day weaponization of government against me.” Police and courts criticised for convicting a major criminal (!).
The FBI Agents Association was clutching all their pearls when Biden commuted the double life sentence of Leonard Peltier, to indefinite house arrest. I wonder what they will say about this pardon.

MAGA Logic.
It wasn't America's economy he wanted to fix, it was the drug and trafficking economy. At least crypto has a currency purpose again now.
That's why we gotta deport babies born on our soil.
Totally transactional abuse of power.
2. having a record doesn't matter when you don't face any consequences for the crimes on that record.

It’s not a rug pull if it’s really a bribe.
Who benefits from this guy being free? Does it help Trump’s popularity with the crypto bros? Is SBF next?
That’s worrying…
By ‘starting to think’ I of course mean verifiably correct in previous summations.
They are responsible for much of the demand.

I feel like this is the beginning of freeing people he likes and locking up people who disagree with him.
Where have we seen this before?
Last time it was don jr
So Elon, or someone has made a very large crypto or cash transfer to Trump in his personal capacity.
Will there be crickets from the la came order types?

Ulbricht's no.1 rule was people could sell 'anything the purpose of which was not to harm or defraud another person'
caught selling a fifty bag still
doing a twenty!!!!!
This guy killed many!
So much for Trump haring drug dealers!
The Chinese and the Russians will be very proud of their president.
