My wife’s new favorite thing is watching YouTube Miami influencer restaurant videos of Michelin rated and other high end restaurants and grill me as to why we aren’t going there. 😅
Trump has granted clemency to dozens convicted of fraud/financial crimes since Jan 2025 (nearly 3 dozen fraud cases reported in first year).
Notable examples:
- Trevor Milton (Nikola): securities/wire fraud; investors defrauded hundreds of millions, restitution waived.
- Todd & Julie Chrisley: bank fraud/tax evasion (~$30M loans).
- Lawrence Duran: Medicare/health care fraud (~$200M bilked).
- George Santos: wire fraud/identity theft.
- David Gentile: $1.6B investment fraud scheme.
- Changpeng Zhao (Binance): anti-money laundering violations.
- Others: Devon Archer, Imaad Zuberi, Michele Fiore, Paul Walczak, etc.
Many cases waived $1B+ in victim restitution/fines.
The ~1,500 J6 pardons were mostly non-fraud offenses.
Pardons are a presidential power used by every administration for allies, donors, or politics. Fraud isn't "OK" for Republicans or anyone—it's selective clemency, often criticized regardless of party.
once upon a time we had “pen pals” this allowed us to communicate by snail mail to people around the world because long distance phone calls were expensive af and the internet didn’t exist
we took this opportunity to learn more about someone else’s culture and way of life in the this slow and challenging way
today we have the ability to instantly connect with someone in another country and ask all the questions, share all the stories in real time and no one cares. we just pretend to understand difference culture so we can hate them
@DavidDack Depends how long the race. For a 5K, I would have a full warm-up routine, ready to launch me into a high heart rate, rapid breathing pace comfortably. For marathon? Nothing much but stretching and meditation.

🚨 WOW! President Trump just posted this truth nuke: The 2024 election would be a 538-0 LANDSLIDE if only ancestral Americans voted
🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Require voter ID, proof of citizenship, fix the Census, and America will become MUCH more Republican than it is now!
We are all alone, born alone, die alone, and—in spite of True Romance magazines—we shall all someday look back on our lives and see that, in spite of our company, we were alone the whole way. I do not say lonely—at least, not all the time—but essentially, and finally, alone.
@RpsAgainstTrump@SharinStone Every Republican that so poetically spoke out that night, has resorted to being nothing more than a Trump cocksucker at this point. 🙄
THOMAS MASSIE: “It’s ironic that we control the House, Senate, Supreme Court, & the White House -- and we're yelling 'election fraud'? We won all the damn elections.
What are we doing with that? We’re bankrupting the country. We’re starting new wars. We’re violating the Constitution. We’re not cracking down on the fraud. The problem is not the elections. We won the damn elections. The problem is that we’re wasting the opportunity voters gave us."
