  1. Also, let’s not try and sanewash what Trump did as some sort of stand against drug sentencing abuse. If so, the list is long but we don’t need to speculate. We know this was purely transactional as he states.
  2. I’m not representing it as anything other than evidence of his actions and character. I suspect they were concerned about their ability to convince a jury that there was no reasonable doubt that it wasn’t someone else controlling the handle at the time or that it was just locker room cosplaying talk (which I believe his appeal and an amicus brief actually claimed if I’m remembering correctly). regardless, it shows me who he was at the time and I just posted it for people to read since there seems to be a lot of worshipping going on in here.
  3. that's what i was talking about. it is pretty unlikely that the pardon would nullify the civil asset forfeiture process.
  4. by the way, if you have never read it before, you should read the transcript that is the basis for the more illicit shit. https://www.wired.com/2015/02/read-transcript-silk-roads-boss-ordering-5-assassinations/
  5. you know the real answer to this. and for all the people that believe he is going to be rolling in all the btc, pardons do not impact civil asset forfeiture. his conviction was final and appeals exhausted. the pardon does not erase the fact of conviction or exempt from civil liability. i am actually curious to see if there are any civil suits brought against him now that he's out by the parents of kid in florida or the parents of the kid in perth or any of the other ones that died. not sure about limitations there.
  6. i love that he apparently curried favor with the masses because of frustration with post-pandemic inflation and in his third day as president, he tells the world economic forum in davos that he is going to "demand that interest rates drop immediately." now i am no economist (wait, yes i am) but... oh well, at least the mortage/real estate thread guys will throw a fun party.
  7. I need some advice on how to get from John O' Groats to Glasgow by way of sprinter van.
  8. you guys bringing up sneakers just gave me a realization. mother was written to be half pimphand, half hagbard celine.
  9. human brains are weird. these kind of stories require me to recall the below photo to stay remotely sane.

    other than hanalei, you probably won't be spending much time in the north shore water then (unless you are a surfer way out). it will be extremely rough regardless of if it is tunnels, ke'e, hideaways, secrets, etc... that shit is going to be coming in like a freight train. hanalei will be fine though. much better prospects on the south side even though the north side is better. and polihale on the west side will likely be a beating as well. there is a 0.0% chance you will be letting elementary school aged kids swimming anywhere north or west besides hanalei...i can pretty much guarantee it unless your kids are secretly from krypton. i was there in november and it was already no bueno to swim in the surf up north. tomorrow the surf on the north side will be 10-15 while south side will be 0-2. https://kauainownews.com/surf/
  11. i am not tilting. i am overly familiar with the facts and circumstances here. you should be too. if you don't want to read the book, that's fine...just like it is fine that you want to to project your misconstruing what i said on to me...but i guess you are under some misimpression that "beyond a shadow of a doubt" is some sort of sort of legal or court term. just so you know, it is not. i suspect you are conflating "reasonable doubt" and that is why you are confused. regardless, if you are not willing to read the book and become familiar enough with the facts and circumstances regarding his actions and that the book proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that he was absolutely engaged in murder for hire, then that's your decision. you have been having vapors on the other pardon threads for months...overreacting to a bunch of obviously preemptive political persecution actions to guard against the one person you know would actually pursue such action. you accusing anyone of reactionary wilding to the full pardoning of an actual criminal just to buy credit with the libertarian crypto bros is slightly amusing in light of that.
  12. you're talking about pimphand?
  13. read the book. there is zero doubt whatsoever. googling "freeross" gets you a bunch of innuendo bullshit. his murder for hire efforts were anything but "nonsense." i never said anything about it being proven in court. you miscontrued that and that is on you. but it was very clear what happened if you read the book. so you believe that running an illegal global marketplace for drugs is worth a few years in prison. el chapo was convicted in court for narcotics trafficking, money laundering, and use of a firearm in furtherance of his of his drug crimes. are you ready to pardon him?
  14. what about pardoning the mastermind of an international illegal drug trade who was convicted by a jury, upheld by the 2nd circuit, and denied cert by the supreme court? why not go ahead and throw el chapo a pardon as well? wait, he's not white and from westlake. my bad.
  15. Here you go: https://www.amazon.com/American-Kingpin-Criminal-Mastermind-Behind/dp/1591848148?dplnkId=b0f8ac02-fdac-45f5-a09b-fe16763caddb&nodl=1
  16. Bullshit, you know everything about this case. I simply do not believe your evasive answer. If you haven’t, you need to read the book. That’s what I’m talking about regarding proving beyond a shadow of a doubt that he engaged in murder for hire. As for his convictions in court, murder for hire was not part of the case the prosecutors chose to take but if you read the book, there is no doubt. Regardless, given the numerous crimes he was convicted of and that were upheld by the US Supreme Court, tell me why you have any hesitancy in expressing support or disagreement with this pardon that was only issued in a transactional arrangement. You have been calling people total clowns on the other thread in talking about the need to try and protect Fauci from an obviously vindictive piece of shit who is not constrained in any sense by justice or a sense of what is right and wrong but you’re unwilling to express an opinion about this pardon? So unpack it. Do you think that this was a worthwhile pardon? You know what he was convicted of. If you were remotely conscious from 2012-2014 in Austin, you know the full story of the case.
  17. So give us the libertarian perspective on this. Are we for pardoning all people who have been proven beyond a shadow of a doubt to have hired people to commit murder or just the white ones from Westlake given their efforts to circumvent illegal drug laws? Do you agree with this pardoning?
  18. Twin Peaks and Mullholland Dr are all timers. Twin Peaks in particular did quite a number on 10-12 year old me.
  19. cook should probably get the liz truss-head of lettuce treatment at each of his subsequent stops. such a disappointment. i thought he was going to play a devonta smith role when we signed him. not necessarily heisman winning career but playing the role smith played in the sark offense in 2020 of speedy playmaker in space. oh well. get your shit and your life together, cook.
  20. listening and watching chuck grassley attempt to "read" his fellating intro for bondi's confirmation hearing this morning made me want to fly to the sun.
  21. wait, what are the queers doing to our soil?
  22. i think you are likely to see hutson or robertson as of now but it is a long time until august 30th.
