Because journalists are dog shit at providing the proper context. Part of his sentencing was the fact that he was involved in multiple murder-for-hire plots. His site also facilitated the purchase of child porn, forged documents, and illegal weapons.

And Trump was gonna resurrect "Say No to Drugs."

msdobalina.bsky.social•113 days ago

Oh he'll probably do that, too:

"Say No to Drugs, Unless They're Trump brand Christian-approved RFK Jr.-Sampled Drugs Which You Can Buy Right Here on the FDA Patriots™️ Portal! We take crypto!!"

How does trump monetize this pardon. It’s always about money with the orange moron.

A movie but reality.

“And others” covers worse than drug dealers. Sickening.

jjdianem.bsky.social•113 days ago

But I thought he wanted the death penalty for drug dealers?

Oh, I wonder what 🍊💩 motivation was on this one!!! 🧐🧐🧐🧐 Can we say bitcoin

Not surprised, but still horrible. Ross Ulbricht’s pardon sends a troubling message about accountability for enabling massive illicit activity.

Omg. There is no bottom to the depravity.

Let's not forget Ross Ulbricht ordered at least five assassinations. This guy did more than create a drug marketplace. https://www.wired.com/2015/02/read-transcript-silk-roads-boss-ordering-5-assassinations/
