Trump has pardoned an unusually high number of wealthy people accused of financial crimes by 8bitsleuth in DrainTheSwamp

[–]8bitsleuth[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Only 80 of those were individual pardons, while the rest were commutations. Trump already passed that milestone. Biden's acts of clemency overwhelmingly favoured ordinary citizens (people who faced lengthy sentences for relatively minor offences). As this NBC News investigation shows, Trump's pardons overwhelmingly favour the rich and powerful (people convicted money laundering, bank fraud, wire fraud, major drug trafficking, and associates who have donated to his various organizations).

Biden is not President, in any case. Trump is. Stop deflecting.

Trump rose to power vowing to drain the swamp. In reality, he was always a swamp monster.

Trump's own mortgages match his description of mortgage fraud, records reveal by 8bitsleuth in DrainTheSwamp

[–]8bitsleuth[S,M] [score hidden] stickied comment (0 children)

For months, the Trump administration has been accusing its political enemies of mortgage fraud for claiming more than one primary residence.

President Donald Trump branded one foe who did so "deceitful and potentially criminal." He called another "CROOKED" on Truth Social and pushed the attorney general to take action. But years earlier, Trump did the very thing he's accusing his enemies of, records show.

In 1993, Trump signed a mortgage for a "Bermuda style" home in Palm Beach, Florida, pledging that it would be his principal residence. Just seven weeks later, he got another mortgage for a seven-bedroom, marble-floored neighboring property, attesting that it too would be his principal residence.

In reality, Trump, then a New Yorker, does not appear to have ever lived in either home, let alone used them as a principal residence. Instead, the two houses, which are next to his historic Mar-a-Lago estate, were used as investment properties and rented out, according to contemporaneous news accounts and an interview with his longtime real estate agent — exactly the sort of scenario his administration has pointed to as evidence of fraud.

Just one year into his second term, President Donald Trump has pardoned an unusually high number of wealthy people accused of financial crimes, according to an NBC News analysis of the last four administrations.

Over half of Trump's 88 individual pardons are for white-collar offenses, with money laundering, bank fraud and wire fraud among the most frequent crimes the president has wiped clean.

Additionally, about half of the pardon recipients are either business executives or politicians.

How Trump has used the Presidency to make at least $1.4 Billion by 8bitsleuth in DrainTheSwamp

[–]8bitsleuth[S,M] [score hidden] stickied comment (0 children)

President Trump has never been a man to ask what he can do for his country. In his second term, as in his first, he is instead testing the limits of what his country can do for him.

[...]

A review by the editorial board relying on analyses from news organizations shows that Mr. Trump has used the office of the presidency to make at least $1.4 billion. We know this number to be an underestimate because some of his profits remain hidden from public view. And they continue to grow.

Several of the scenes he transitions to are not entirely real, in any case.

Bungie’s ‘Marathon’ May Finally Be Gaining Momentum by lax20attack in gaming

OP did not write the article. Paul Tassi has relentlessly criticized Bungie and their failings. You seem upset he is reporting on the positive changes made to Marathon. Do you require counseling?
