So at this point what's stopping people from committing crimes and then just contributing a bit to Trump and telling him he's the greatest guy for a pardon?

There is literally no oversight over who the President of the US pardons, it's insane.

It's almost like people have been calling it a failed system for years but were hushed by those reaping it's benefits.

Comically, this didn't work for the Tiger King

In a social media post, Trump said Santos, who he called "somewhat of a 'rogue,'" had the "Courage, Conviction, and Intelligence to ALWAYS VOTE REPUBLICAN!"

Which means you're allowed to commit crimes!

Damn, the Criminal in Chief convicted of fraud (by a jury of his peers) pardoned another criminal republican convicted of fraud (also by a jury of his peers).

I'm glad that these guys are the party of law and order.

Santos pled guilty. One of his co-conspirators gave testimony and reached a plea deal and they had him dead to rights so he pled guilty in his own plea deal. Probably to get less time.

Trump is a criminal's best friend.

So bold of Trump to commute the first female Olympian to walk on Mars.

[-] webdox@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

Fucking piece of shit scum. ALL Trump voters are anal cancer.

Fucking piece of shit scum.

I'm gonna need you to be more specific here...

There are two sets of laws in this country. It's a disgusting shame.

[-] floofloof@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Seems like you're well on the way to zero sets of laws. Just corruption and thuggery.

I did not have a sentence commutation for Kitara Ravache. She gorgeous but criminal af.

Game recognize game.

He is my favorite republican. An unrepentant scoundrel, shilling for a party that is in opposition to everything he is, riding a wave of transparent lies, and somehow coming out on top - for a while. And now back on top again!

[-] WanderWisley@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

Oh good I’m sure this will help fix the economy, lower the price of gas, groceries and housing, stop the war in Ukraine, help rebuild and improve life for the people of Palestine, and reopen the government and fully release the Epstein files. So much winning everywhere America!
