Many of those ordinary people on the list have no doubt been victims of the sentencing system and I'm glad their names were put forward for release from prison. However, the whole idea of being able to pardon political allies for serious crimes is a disgrace, particularly when it seems that some people can buy their way out of trouble.

All those Capitol rioters are going to feel abandoned today. That estate agent, she'll be upset.
It's very medieval. Which is ironic since the United states was founded in part to escape the fuedal monarchies of Europe.

Well ok, maybe fuedalism was a bit longer ago, but still.

Can Biden invoke this again? Doubt he would, but still.
it's not a very strong rule anyway (which is why trump put it there, the date in jan 28 2017). i think obama had a similar ban, but the lobbyists ended up meeting govt officials in a coffee shop across from the white house or something ridiculous like that.

e- ignore, misread what the ban targeted.

In before the lock. Farewell Trump thread, you have been a fascinating read over the last few years.

140 pardons means Trump is up by 280m USD in a day. I'm guessing this won't be taxable nor the source investigated. Doesn't he have 400m USD debt that needs immediate attention? So he needs to make the most of Wednesday getting the next 60 donors.

But yeah China is a dictatorship. :)

Shout out to Santi who got banned half way through his term and still made the top 10.

“Haha! Trump is like a dictator and bad for the world”

”It’s like Trump thinks he can do as he wants!”

Possession of a loaded gun on a flight. You can see why he buttered up to Trump during the campaign :rolleyes:
Ah, makes sense. I did wonder if there was something more to him coming out in support of Trump, but then people like Ice Cube did as well, so part of me also thought that all the drugs had finally completely rotted Wayne’s brain. Probably some combination of the two.

There was mention of Trump offering pardons at 2m USD each. According to the BBC this morning I quickly saw he had pardoned or was going to pardon 140 people.

As for the point about his debts, this from the Seattle Times today:

"But now he faces loans coming due: $100 million on Trump Tower next year; $125 million on his Doral golf resort in Florida in 2023; and $170 million on the Washington hotel in 2024."

What I am saying is Trump needs to pay roughly 400m dollars off in quick time. Where will be make that quick dough? By pardoning filthy, rich criminals. Hope that was clearer?

Feels like the end of a reality TV series you know is complete trash but you still find entertaining. I just hope there's not another season of it that crops up in 4 years.

It was clear from the start, but still makes no sense. First, do you really believe 140 people paid 2 million dollars each ? Second, even if it was so, how do you think Trump declares this to the tax authorities , so he can make payments on his credits? Finally, the really weird bit was

I’ll be shocked if Trump isn’t a multi billionaire after his term. Whether it’s laundered well enough to be usable for his debts and fend off investigations is the question.

I wouldn't be so sure. His brand will likely be damaged goods the minute he's out the WH for good, more so if the impeachment trial rules against him. The fact he was grifting to the very bitter end tells me he's a desperate man with a precarious financial outlook. You love to see it.
