    Does the US really have no instruments in case a newly elected president immediatelly and openly exposes he's a nazi?

  • The mechanism is impeachment. It's broken because of polarization.

  • Trump pardons Ross Ulbricht, founder of Silk Road drug marketplace

  • Yeah, it's insane that he's just openly being like, "I promise to use the powers of my office to solely benefit myself," and the Supreme Court's just like, "Get it, grrrrrl"

    Although, to be fair, it did also benefit a guy who tried to murder five people.

  • Trump said he had called Ulbricht’s mother to tell her he would pardon her son “in honor of her and the Libertarian Movement, which supported me so strongly”.

    Wildy transactional.

    So... does "full and unconditional" mean he's also pardoned for the murders-for-hire? Or just for being a drug lord and America's Next Top Website Boy?

  • Yes. He paid $730 000 to have five people killed. The only reason those people aren't dead is that the people who took the money were scammers and cops.

  • That's a fair point that he wasn't convicted for murder-for-hire, but it still factored into his sentencing. Also, being shitty at murder-for-hire doesn't make you less guilty of the attempt.

  • So what? This isn't a court room.

    The prosecution deciding to not file those charges because corrupt agents complicated their case and they had enough evidence to lock him up for forever plus a day doesn't mean that he didn't try his absolute hardest to murder five people.

  • I'm not a prosecutor but it was presented in court and factored into his sentencing.

  • The guy tried to kill five people. What's the appropriate sentence for murder for hire?

  • They should populate your home feed. Mine do. Could be because the site's been a bit wobbly today...?

    Edit: actually, it might only work for new posts with those tags!

  • TikTok says it's restoring service to US users based on Trump's promised executive order

  • I don't think that it can just be declared satisfied, though. I imagine Google and Apple's obscenely top-shelf representation will be like, "this has about this much legal merit":

    But who knows! :)
