Trump pardoned Trevor Milton today, who scammed investors out of millions doing things like his now infamous "rolling a truck down a hill to make it looks functional" demo.
Milton donated $1.8M to Trump, and Miltons lawyer's sister is Pam Bondi, the Attorney General.
This is nakedly corrupt and a strong signal that you can get away with all manner of financial fuckery if you are on Trumps "good list".

Comments like these are wildly off the original topic and practically invite the dead replies. As a rule of thumb, if you're about to put "/s" at the bottom of a post on an even remotely political topic, please reconsider. Especially if your sarcasm is already quite obvious, and obviously being used to bash a political outgroup.
For how big of an advantage trans women supposedly have, they don't seem to win very often. People have been discussing this issue for decades but all of a sudden people are freaking out about it without doing any research or having any level of nuance.
"But that guy George Soros surely is up to no good!"
It's probably being spoken by some podcast that helped get Trump elected.
When they have an actual conspiracy, with actual billionaires paying the president and getting full access to the government, while getting public contracts... all of this being live streamed... they're still stuck in George Soros and the Deep State lizard people fantasy.
