It means whatever you want it to mean.



I think it was on Tucker tonight, heard while driving home from work, that there's plenty of selective punishment in leaks. People who leaked throughout the Trump administration have been seen as conscious driven heroes while anyone who leaks information damaging to the establishment powers is heavily punished.

The media will publish any "leak" that damages Trump. People still think he said WWI troops were "losers" based off one nonsensical article reliant on one anonymous source, heavily contested by over 20 people who actually would name themselves. The inherent disloyalty of any leaker makes me naturally dislike them.

Snowden actually leaked information that revealed wrongdoing committed by the government. The kind of leaks that benefit the nation. The bulk of Trump "leaks" have just been unveiled swipes to tarnish his image. And since the media is hand in hand with the DNC, shit gets tons of play. Every segment on CNN should have a disclaimer like the rest of the trash that plays during election season. CNN, CBS and NBC are just Super PACs playing political ads 24/7. Truly, there is no enemy as sinister as the lying press and with God's help one day a brave man or group will shut their lying mouths for good.


No u. What does it mean to you?

71-year-old supporter of President Donald Trump was reportedly shocked when Trump recently commuted the 40-year sentence of a man who stole his life savings in a Ponzi scheme.

Kimball Pugmire, who supported the outgoing president and voted for him in 2016 and 2020, told the Tampa Bay Times that he was forced to question Trump's honesty after learning that the president had granted clemency Wednesday to "lifetime crook" Fred Davis Clark Jr., who was sentenced to decades behind bars in 2016 after defrauding nearly 1,400 investors out of a combined $300 million.

"I had been trying to forget all this, but it makes you wonder, even being a Trump supporter, about his honesty," Pugmire told the paper.

I guess he will pardon few showbiz or "popular" people to hide all others.

is this shitty, corrupt, self-dealing, an abuse of the powers of the office, and all the other things that republicans will pretend to care about once biden is president? of course.

that said though, it pales in comparison to his pardoning of disgusting war criminals, literal murderers of innocent women and children. never forget that one.

So apart from all these pardons endorsing corruption, including his former campaign manager who swindled Trump supporters out of money to build the wall, he also lifted the 5-year ban on lobbying rule for his White House employees.

The overwhelming feeling I have in reaction to this isn't anger, but amusement. Not at the actions, but at all the retards(including those on this forum) who supported this con man.

I will give him credit for the number of non-violent drug offenders to whom he granted pardons or commutations. The First Step Act is one of the success stories of his tenure, and putting pen to paper in an effort to start matching sentences to new guidelines is notable.

all that fearmongering #fakenews about “pardoning himself” and his family and he pardons a bunch of minor drug offenders who were locked up by policies pushed by the people heading up the incoming administration
