We are declaring drug trafficking cartels as terrorist organizations but Trump pardons the guy who ran the biggest online illegal drug market ever (silk road)? As an explicit political favor?

So let me get this straight. Trump is ushering in the "golden era" of America by pardoning an illegal drug trafficker and commuting/pardoning people who attacked cops, etc. on 1/6/21. Is he trying to return the U.S. to the days of Al Capone? So much for the party of law & order & backing the Blue.
Do you think the drugs you bought online were conflict free, fair trade, ethical and organic?
The violence starts at the source and is present throughout the whole process; its not just at the point of sale.
I am thinking he was convicted tried and sentenced for good reasons? So I googled this guy. Ffs what in the name of the devil does this get him? Since everything is transactional that is.
I see why someone might be a little skeptical of this, but the idea was the take the violence out of the equation. Drugs and drug use will always happen, but the less influence violent cartels have over the market is a win. Buying drugs over the internet eliminated the need for... eliminations.
Stop being surprised! He does not care about rules of conduct. He gives no shit about his own hypocrisy. Trying to trap him in a "gotcha" argument is useless. The only way is to sue, to protest, and to apply passive resistance wherever possible.
And Trump claims he was a libertarian thus a subject of political witchhunt. Geez Louise !
The man set up at least one murder and because he gets payment for drug sales and pays hit jobs via a bitcoin blockchain, he is some techie hero!!! ???
Because drug and human trafficking is the Trump family business. And it’s so big, you have to do it online via CashApp or PayPal. The street guys take a cut of your 💰
I think an under-discussed thing right now is the fact that any and all crime — not just crime committed to advance the agenda — is now legal for prominent Trump supporters. All investigations will be declared political, and half the electorate will agree.
President Sheinbaum was exactly right when she said that the demand for synthetic drugs comes from the US not Mexico, here he just released the guy running the Amazon of drugs.
He has the audacity to call the line prosecutors "scum" when they were just federal employees doing their job, following the law and providing evidence to the judge/jury for outcome. There was no weaponization against him. He was charged because he did the crime. Period. Pardon was bought.
This means that Trump supports selling opiods and other illegal drugs on the dark web - or at least he supports the guy who started this business before he was arrested.
#2000lights The convicted felon pardons a man serving 2 life terms + 40 years. America you are responsible for THIS? What could go wrong will go wrong.
Isn't this the same guy that claims, other countries are dumping their prisoners into our country with no proof?! Meanwhile he's the one literally doing that to our own country
It's just unbelievable.
On the one hand Trump rails about drug dealers and even about EXECUTING drug dealers!
Then he goes and pardons one of the biggest!
It's mind numbingly bizarre.
Just look at the language Trump uses to describe the forces of law and order. Furthermore his motives for the pardon seem to be linked to some kind of revenge for criminal investigations into his own conduct. A bitter and twisted sick man is now President.
His senility makes himself look weak. He only did this because he is a soft touch for flatterers.
It is all about looking tough, but the rapist is too stupid and too ignorant to make decisions for himself so what he does is decided by the people round him.
This has all come about do to the non-payment of reparations. Because the playing field was never equaled it allowed the white supremacist to maintain a voice in our society.
Does Trump say anything that doesn't require having to become dumbed down and self-deluded to agree with him? How did an imbecile, who says the dumbest things get given so much power. Why isn't this more embarrassing?
We don’t need or want violence. We want CHANGE. Just 11 million PEOPLE dedicated to GET IT can make that happen. Were U on the streets lately? 🙏. Today, our protest must be more than a single city. We need a NATIONAL MOVEMENT 2 MAKE A DIFFERENCE. https://generalstrikeus.com
He's likely doing it so he can declare war on Mexico later on. This is just a stunt to be used later to excuse a declaration of war based on his prior behaviors. It also pushes his weird conspiracy theories to his base who lap up his lies like dogs.
Drugs purchased through Silk Road were responsible for at least 6 overdose deaths (that are known, could be many more), including 2 teenagers. Ulbricht has only spent 11 years in prison. This is a horrible miscarriage of justice and a punch in the face to all those fighting the illegal drug trade.
If you search the hashtag #freeross around the web you can observe the thoughts of the people who have specifically asked for this. I think the main point is that writing code is considered free speech. I'm no expert on Ross's case details though.
Strategic move to secure a wide voterbase (libertarians and cryptocurrency users). Any opposition to freeing Ross was already not voting for him. Signals market freedom to voters already in his pocket.
Silly me, I thought pardons were sort of like putting right a miscarriage of justice. Nah it's just get out of jail free cards for your corrupt buddies and nobody can criticize this but they'll 1000% criticize Biden trying to protect people who did way less.
He sprung Roger Stone prior to the 2020 election because he need him to rig the election and organize the militia. He’s going to use this guy for his nefarious schemes. Just watch.
I say that jokingly, but the Republican leader of the NH house, Jason Osborne, has said that the election of his party's candidate means that NH will remain the only NE state without legal cannabis "probably for a decade or more." Osborne is really a Libertarian.
OMG, this is too much. What utter hypocrites the MAGAts are. All this jawboning about keeping illegal drugs out of our country and Trump lets the kingpin out of jail? Unbelievable.
No need for the question mark. He promised the Libertarian Party he would. My guess is there was secretly also $ involved explicitly through either Truth Social or the new Trump shitcoin.
Ulbricht isn't a scammer. He's definitely a criminal, and he definitely did some despicable things, but he didn't scam anyone - his business relied on him and his clients not scamming people.
So the scum-sucking Orange Felon thinks it's A-Okay to be a multi-million dollar dark-web drug dealer. Good to know. He can fuck all the way off claiming to be concerned about fentanyl coming into the US. He isn't. It's just his blatant racism against brown people. Can't wait to read his obit.
It's like Trump wants to launder that bitcoin, turned drug cartels into terrorists and fired the coast guard leader, so he can control the drug racket as a backdoor means to fund Russia as well as line his own pockets.

When he breaks up ClearChannel we can talk about golden eras.
Also, kill the DJs.
Is he working with Musk? Are they planning something?
Getting into that cool zone where assassination is considered acceptable only one allies of the president do it :/
Cause one thing is the manifestation of Violence, and the other completely prevents any possible violence while purchasing
The violence starts at the source and is present throughout the whole process; its not just at the point of sale.
And know this... we will end this fool and his Nazi cult.

Things don’t look good.
Or just another case of wild inconsistency? Some Republicans support the death penalty for drug traffickers IIRC.
Upside world/projection
He just pardoned a notorious drug trafficker.

God, I forgot just how infuriating dumb it always is with this guy.
Lots of reporters leaving this out of their ledes.
He’s a freaking psychopath.
And Trump just freed him? Because quid pro quo?
Can’t even spell his name, tho.
I hate this place.

Trump gives Ulbrich the $6.7 billion in $BTC back, in return, Ulbrich uses a slice to buy the rapist's shit coin.
How much is a pardon from The Rapist worth? $1 billion?
The Corrupt Roberts Court says bribes are an official act.
It's a like roadmap to all of his crimes.

Bribery is an impeachable offense.
Ulbright will be Perdue Pharma' new CEO by Friday

Being wildly rich has its privileges
