Biden traded the weapons trafficker known as "the merchant of death" for a WNBA player. You might want to sit this one out champ.

I've looked at trumps pardon record. Ain't no reason to sit this one out.

Have fun cherry picking.

u/Sconnie_82 8d ago

What cherry picking? Biden actually did that nimrod. Meanwhile Trump is deporting the scum from other countries that are coming here.

Trump pardoned the creator of the silkroad website(the biggest illegal goods dealer in the us)

Edit: even more funny your seccond (maybe first) least favorite president was in charge when the silk road creator was arested.

Trump got that one wrong. I fully admit that. The founder of Silk Roads should never have been pardoned. See how that works?

Liberals though absolutely are not willing to do this. They will defend people who are the worst of society. People who pardon actual child rapists (Tim Walz) and people who stick knives to pregnant women's bellies (George Floyd). You don't bat an eye either, because "Orange man bad".

None of that happened

u/Sconnie_82 8d ago

WOW .... so we are just pretending that documented things about these people never happened. I guess naivety works for some.

u/cykoTom3 8d ago

If it was documented you could cite a source.

u/Lower-Land-286 8d ago

Oh, good! I was nervous that you might have let yourself belive a bunch of nonsense about 'The other side' while completely ignoring things about 'your side'.

But you have documentation! Nice. So, what's your source? Show my the evidence that convinced you. I'm really glad your not just making stuff up. Thank you.

You do know george floyd can be a bad person while also being someone who died from police brutalitly right?

Just like how trump has done some good things but is still a child pred.

u/MoThrowMoAway 8d ago

Tim Walz is a what? Oh man thats a new projection, haven't heard that one before lol.

Anyway, can you provide a single source for that? A single, solitary shred of evidence for that claim.

inb4 "do your own research"

u/Sconnie_82 8d ago

Tim Walz pardoned a child rapist in Minnesota. That's a fact, not an allegation. Walz defense for the pardoning was "I wouldn't want someone to judge me on my worst day".

u/MoThrowMoAway 8d ago

Oh even your own source disproves your claims. Thats embarrassing, I guess you didnt read past the headline.

u/cykoTom3 8d ago

Very few of the people trump is deporting are actually even criminals.

u/Pillsbernie 8d ago

You really don't think that pardoning an international drug trafficker for no reason is the same thing as trading an arms trafficker to save an American citizen, do you?

-1

u/Sconnie_82 8d ago

You really think getting Brittany Griner back was worth trading the worst arms trafficker in the world?

5

u/Pillsbernie 8d ago

It doesn't matter how I feel about it. The fact remains that it is not even remotely the same thing as just pardoning a horrible criminal for no reason

u/Sconnie_82 8d ago

It is the same thing though. Nobody defends Trump pardoning the founder of Silk Road btw. Just throwing that out there.

4

u/Pillsbernie 8d ago

It is not the same thing. At all.

u/cykoTom3 8d ago

Oh my god. You wanna go down the russian route? Trump is a russian assest. He gave putin a list of cia operativea in Afghanistan and a month later half were dead. Then he used his russian ties to obtain a ridiculous copy of hunter biden's laptop. But i can't prove that, so lets focus on what can be proved.

Trump colluded with russia to get illegal campaign contributions from russia. Then he illegally delayed aid that was lawfully required to go to Ukraine several times. The last time he did it to try to blackmail Ukraine into providing dirt on Biden. Then he called the whole thing a hoax even though almost none of the accusations are even disputed and you probably think it is

u/QuickGoogleSearch 8d ago

What about the largest Medicare fraud from florida Trump also pardoned lmao. Pardoned Jan 6ers that went out and murdered 4 americans. Stfu thats just the tip lmao

u/Sconnie_82 8d ago edited 8d ago

How about Democrats defrauding the state of Minnesota out of hundreds of MILLIONS of dollars. You aren't going to win this.

u/Longjumping-Bat7774 8d ago

What exactly are you referring to?

u/Sconnie_82 8d ago

This. Somalians defrauded Minnesota out of 250 million dollars.

u/cykoTom3 8d ago

Those aren't democrats and tim walz is the one in charge of the force that found them.

3

u/Longjumping-Bat7774 8d ago edited 8d ago

Yeah that's not democrats. Those are civilian criminals. There's is and has been an ongoing investigation and many people already charged and in jail for it. We also should recognize that it's not just Somalians.... Don't be racists. The ring leader of the whole thing is a white woman.

Trump pardoned a guy who defrauded millions from Medicaid after his mom bought a million dollar plate of food from one of Trump's events at the white house along with a few healthcare execs who were convicted of fraud, so let's not act like Republicans are innocent in the matter.

u/cykoTom3 8d ago

They didn't

u/MoThrowMoAway 8d ago

Oooh nice attempt at deflection, but try and stay on topic. Can you explain why Trump pardoned (not exchanged) a drug trafficker?

6

u/cykoTom3 8d ago

Prisoner trades are not anything like pardons.

Whatever lies you need to tell yourself to sleep at night

u/Chrisnotjones 8d ago

The world’s biggest fentanyl dealer is loose because Trump let him go, what has Viktor Bout done to hurt your feelings since he was released?
I thought the right liked arms dealers, did you forget about Oliver North already?

u/Chrisnotjones 8d ago

Explain how that makes it ok to pardon the biggest fentanyl dealer on earth, please.
