Fact is, Trump will not hesitate to pardon anyone who is rich and/or influential. He is a master of using his office for his own gain.

Luckily he is pretty much too old to do much damage to our democracy in future years.

Had you heard of the guy in the OP before now?Try and be honest.

Can you remember the ponzi scheme dude's name without looking?

Why is a random person hearing of someone or remembering the name the litmus of whether corruption or anything unsavory occurred?

My point is it seems illogical to rage about a topic when you don't really know much about it.

If you have an opinion about a pardon, I would expect you to be somewhat informed aboutthe person and situation. Otherwise it's just emotional bitching.

A pardon was granted to someone convicted of smuggling 400 tons of coke into the US while at the same time we are gearing up for war because of muh drugs. Is anything even necessary?

What am I deflecting? An opinion on something I have no knowledge on?

If more of you did that you'd look less retarded on here. Maybe you should write that down.

This is how you separate the cultists from normal people.

Anyone who defends this shite needs deprogramming.

That's a lot of words when they could've simply just said, "The check cleared."

Venezuela isnt about drugs. Its about the pissing match between Trump and Maduro.

Trump is flat out lying to these dipshits, they arent bright enough to research it on their own.

this is one of the more obvious fibs perpetuated on the American people.

Would be refreshing to just hear: "We don't want a socialist dictatorship with massive amounts of oil causing a massive humanitarian crisis in the Americas." Like we can argue about the logistics and policy behind a modern day Monroe Doctrine and regime change, but it's pretty appalling that we are being fed this Tren de Aragua and "narco-terrorist" lines. It's no different than the War on Drugs, War on Terror, "Domestic White Supremacy," etc.

But what do I know, just a simpleton who voted to make America great again and stop getting involved in foreign conflicts and was tired of being fed lies by the MIC propaganda machine.

Indeed. Instead we got the standard Deep State lies.

If you hear that a man in Maine was charged with raping multiple moose, would you need more information before you felt comfortable forming an opinion?

Ah, the charge of 'emotion' when someone disagrees.

Played a bit early here, I would think.
