Trump Pledges to Commute Life Sentence of Drug Trafficker Serving Life - GMDino - 05-26-2024 https://meidasnews.com/news/trump-pledges-to-commute-life-sentence-of-drug-trafficker-serving-life Quote:[color=var(--dek_size_c_color,#333)]More from the "law and order" candidate.[/color] I vaguely remember hearing about the "silk road" on a podcast at some point, but am I missing something about why Trump would agree to pardon him? Or why the libertarian party wants him pardoned? I get Trump being Trump and doing anything to get applause or votes but I don't know how this helps outside of the room.

Guess I should have guessed that first part...lol. RE: Trump Pledges to Commute Life Sentence of Drug Trafficker Serving Life - Nately120 - 05-26-2024 Is this the same Trump who talked about speedy trials and executions for drug dealers?

I'd bet that was in front of a police union. ![]() RE: Trump Pledges to Commute Life Sentence of Drug Trafficker Serving Life - pally - 05-26-2024 (05-26-2024, 04:10 PM)Nately120 Wrote: Is this the same Trump who talked about speedy trials and executions for drug dealers? Yep, but he had to pander to the Libertarians, Wanna bet that commutation will always be 2 weeks away RE: Trump Pledges to Commute Life Sentence of Drug Trafficker Serving Life - samhain - 05-26-2024 (05-26-2024, 03:44 PM)GMDino Wrote: https://meidasnews.com/news/trump-pledges-to-commute-life-sentence-of-drug-trafficker-serving-life Libertarians want him pardoned because he was running a site that was using an alternative currency that the gubmint couldn't get it's hands on. That's also the reason the gubmint wants him in jail. As for DJT, no clue why he'd pardon a guy like that other than straight pandering. Unrelated: the Silk Road was some legitimately wild shit if you actually had a chance to see it.

It was actually a condition that was negotiated for him to speak. (although I doubt he'd follow through) I also found out that the Trump campaign contacted the party asking to speak there.

EDIT - Or granting clemency, I think it was. Either way, it's oddly amusing that Trump suddenly is so interested in helping out this particular criminal while also endearing himself to people by promising to crack down hard on others.

Inflation?

Your input is valued and respected. We could talk about pro-palestinian protestors. Inflation. Polls. Inflation. Biden causing gas prices to rise and Trump making them go down...at the same time. Abortion. Butker's speech. And most importantly immigration and how we need to get rid of all foreigners who didn't get in the right way and how we have to stop letting so many in the right way and maybe even change the constitution! Those al have their own threads and some have leaked into multiple threads. But this thread is about Trump at the Libertarian meeting so his name *might* come up a bit in it. ![]() RE: Trump Pledges to Commute Life Sentence of Drug Trafficker Serving Life - Nately120 - 05-27-2024 (05-26-2024, 10:47 PM)Mike M (the other one) Wrote: If it wasn't for Trump, what would you guys have to talk about? Probably Ron DeSantis flopping hard trying to court libertarians with his brand of faux populist theocracy? |
