    POTUS makes first openly corrupt act by releasing roger stone

    Yesterday Roger Stone was released from custody after being convicted for 40 months in jail for obstruction of justice In the investigation russia/trump campaign.

    However, Trump didnt have it and used his mandate to overrule the court sentence and set his old friend free.

    America is now openly and oficially corrupt. Democracy is gone. How do yall feel?

    The President has that authority. Look at all the drug dealers Obama pardoned before he left office. Drug dealers who contributed to the destruction of maybe thousands of lives.

    But yeah, this belongs in the "Lets bash Trump " mega thread.

    I can't find a source on Obama pardoning dealers, only people with possession charges. Though I only did a quick google, so could be wrong. Got a source?

    Are you suggesting Obama is a drug lord who pardoned members of his organization? Because that would be the analogy to what Trump has done here. Your brain does not work well.

    Read the list....https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_o...y_Barack_Obama

    Many of them where not just in possession of drugs, but distributors, or in other words....dealers.

    Was Obama demanding children go back to school during a pandemic, the same day he releases his friend because covid is too dangerous? Why is covid a big life threatening issue for Trump’s friends, but American workers must return to work?

    Yes, all Stone did is betray a country, during the Russian “hoax” investigation and is now free because of covid “hoax”. These “hoax” when it comes to American people, but issues when it comes to Trump friends, is corruption.

    None of the Obama pardoned, were directly involved in conspiracy with the president, to defraud the US.

    If you needed proof that every time Trump states anything is a hoax, he is guilty as sin, this release of Stone due to covid, incapsulates it in a nice tidy single event.

    Does that make the fact that he pardoned literal drug dealers (and quite a bit of them, cocaine even, not marijuana), fraud, money laundering, hell even armed bank robbery and possession of firearms without serial numbers any less damning?

    For those saying every president pardons people... couple of things... Neither Stone or Manafort were pardoned. Both are in different states of being out of jail, because covid is a dangerous pandemic sweeping the country. Name a single president, that commuted the sentence of his friend, over a crisis that same president claims doesn’t exist for the rest of us? Has been saying it doesn’t exist or is just the flue, for over 6 months as over 135000 Americans are dead?

    Trump forced meat workers to return to work and get infected, while prison is being too dangerous for Trump friends and the self proclaimed modern “Rosa Parks” Blogoyavich...

    No, I don’t see how actions of Obama, make Trump actions less damning. I think bringing up Obama is just what aboutism, combining Trump supporter inability to defend Trump’s actions, with a need to defend him. I think you are focusing on drugs, because you think it’s inflammatory, even though this is my current drug dealer:

    I’m guessing this is the equivalent for defrauding the US:

    Where is the “he was in jail because of a hoax” and “covid is under control”? How is Obama a better defense of Trump, then the excuses Trump him self used? Screaming Russian hoax is your favorite, with the second favorite being how covid is just the flu. Why are those arguments inapt here?

    The underlined part is something I never claimed, this habit of putting words in my mouth is very tiresome - and a hallmark of those who ascribe to certain political ideologies. I didn't bring up Obama, another user did; I focused on drugs because he mostly pardoned drug dealers. And speaking of whataboutery, that's ironically what you also did with this reply - aside from drawing a remarkable number of incorrect assumptions (I'm not a Trump supporter and I'm pro legalization of marijuana).

    You didn’t bring up Obama, which would mean, you did say this:

    WTF?

    Edit: The reply needed to begin with... “What I really meant”....

    At this point though I think most people can agree looking in from outside of the USA can see how shity of a president he is compared to all the rest. Though he just might be more open about it and not care, we all know most of the presidents did shity stuff.

    Trump releases someone who lied to Congress, covered things up.
    Everyone: Yeah but what about ............

    Whataboutism is not a excuse for anything. Seriously Americans, you need to get your House in order.
