Ross Ulbricht, Founder of Silk Road

[JWBooth]

It's great that Trump kept his promise don't get me wrong, but I thought that he believed that drug dealers deserved the death penalty?

Ross didn’t deal anything.

Oh well I thought that the website was sort of the same thing because aren't people still purchasing drugs?

Trump made a promise to the Libertarians to pardon Ross Ulbricht when he spoke at the Libertarian Convention.

Video from Reason from before the inauguration...




Promise made, promise kept.

Nice to see Trump showing his contempt and intolerance for drug crime.

I really hate to say it but you're right. It's a whole lot better than Biden pardoning murders and pedophiles though.

 

[Road Runner]

Although it was still a ridiculously long sentence though nonetheless.

The whole pardon and commutation powers is ridiculous, we are supposed to have independent legislature and judiciary here. It should be repealed, a president should have no power over sentencing.

Trump has now given the green light for extremist groups who support him, to use violence and intimidation, he's encouraged thuggery - again this is exactly the kind of machinations Hitler and the Nazis were doing in the 1920s but dumb trumpanzees can't read actual books and so they can't see what staring them in the face.

Ross created a website, essentially a dark web EBAY without the government being able to involve themselves. He didn’t deal anything. Lots of things were exchanged besides drugs.
Now, if some retard want’s to ingest, inhale, or inject some substance that the government doesn’t approve of. That is on them, as are the consequences.

Comparing Fauci to Ulbricht is idiotic. You know you don’t have to be such a hack, right?

Nobody should be above the law. Fauci committed perjury. Its irrelevant that you don't find it as bad as what this guy did.

Now to the subject. It's highly hypocrital to consider south of the border drug dealers as terrorists but then pardon this guy.

the man had nothing to do with selling drugs he ran a website that it happened on. Shall we arrest and imprison every website owner for illegal activity discovered on their site?

Eh, probably not. A quibble over the definition of gain of function is unlikely to get very far before a court.

Spoken like a well trained and obedient little trumpanzee, here's what the fucker did as determined by a jury of his peers not some uneducated dunce posting on USMB pretending to "discuss" politics.

On 4 February 2015, the jury convicted Ulbricht of seven charges,[12] including charges of engaging in a continuing criminal enterprise, narcotics trafficking, money laundering, and computer hacking.[1][2] The continuing criminal enterprise charge has a minimum sentence of 20 years. The amount of narcotics distributed also triggered an additional 10-year minimum.

If people are selling drugs in your property, do you think you’re culpable? What id you take a cut?

The jury that convicted Ross disagree.

He lied.

 

[Marener]

He lied.

Proving it before a court would be next to impossible. The definition of gain of function is nebulous at best.

Off topic but you'll defend your liars while condemning MAGA for defending theirs.

You're another uneducated trumpanzee, the kind of goon that makes the United States the laughing stock of the world.

The record of the man's trial and conviction can be easily found if you really think Wiki is lying, you'd prove it too if you could but you can't because you're an idiot, like most trumpanzees here you're a radical minority of extremists, most Trump voters I've met in person would want nothing to do with you freaks, you apologists for criminals.

Like your post.

In the Truth Social post announcing Ulbricht's pardon, Trump wrote that his pardon is making good on his pledge to Libertarian voters.

"I just called the mother of Ross William Ulbricht to let her know that in honor of her and the Libertarian Movement, which supported me so strongly, it was my pleasure to have just signed a full and unconditional pardon of her son, Ross," Trump wrote. "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. He was given two life sentences, plus 40 years. Ridiculous!"

What’s more, Ulbricht is supported by crypto bros, who have been arguing for Ulbricht’s release for years.

Trump pardons notorious drug trafficker—wait, what?
