Toilet paper of record has spoken.

Trump has gone further than anyone expected he gave him a full pardon. Not in my wildest dreams did I expect this all I expected was time served and a commutation! 🥳🥳🥳

Ross has a 2nd chance in life. He's very fortunate....

creator of the Silk Road drug marketplace

NY Times propaganda. Silk Road was simply a marketplace where participants were anonymous and not tracked. Yes, of course people buying and selling drugs could be used to communicate with each other.

its like saying your Apple iPhone is a criminal accessory because people may use it to call their drug dealer.

The Govt hated it, because they could not use it for espionage.

But Biden pardoned everybody who could testify to his treason and corruption.

[RandFan]

Some good points but good luck getting through to most Freepers on the issue

I gave up long ago.

The bogus allegations still persist that he somehow was selling hitman services or hired one

[Drew68]

Silk Road was simply a marketplace where participants were anonymous and not tracked. Yes, of course people buying and selling drugs could be used to communicate with each other.

The people actually selling drugs on Silk Road got much smaller 4-6 year prison sentences.

Ulbricht didn't sell any drugs himself.

“Influence the outcome of the election” unlike everyone else who makes a political contribution. NYT—they are scum.

[Fai Mao]

Since Sh*tocrats are dopers they should be happy

[kiryandil]

“The scum that worked to convict him were some of the same lunatics who were involved in the modern day weaponization of government against me.”

We must remember that The Scum Adam Schiff was a federal prosecutor.

To the New York Slimes, everything that Trump did, does or will ever do is evil. They are only capable of beating one drum. The public should put them out of business and they should become irrelevant.

Ulbright vs Ulbricht. C’mon man....

It ain’t like their name was Smith.

THIS is the petty SHIT you think important?

You lefties just don’t know when to stop digging!

Was Hunter involved in the drug business ?

So why didn’t he pardon him in his first term?

[roving]

Biden pardoned a man who executed two FBI agents.

Trump started talking to a bunch of libertarians and this is a cause they wanted addressed. It is possible that he was convinced by them and saw what happens when DOJ is out to get you.

[delchiante]

Stopped reading at NYT aka Slimes
Thanks for saving me time

:)

My kids tell me Libertarians (not Trump enthusiasts) are on the Trump bandwagon now

[dfwgator]

Trump calculated the coalition he needed to win a national election. That’s why he reached out to the likes of Elon Musk, etc. Something he never would have thought of doing before.

There just weren’t enough pure MAGA voters to win the election.

[11th_VA]

Totally agree - he built a coalition ‘experts’ said he could never do - remember all that talk about a “ceiling” ?

[Az Joe]

Snowden?
