This is correct, it was a full and unconditional pardon for everything he did or may have done over a ten year span of addiction, corruption and back room dealing with foreign adversaries. Pretty impressive when you think about it, I'll have to do some research, but I am seeing this pop up all over: that this was the most comprehensive pardon ever granted by a president.

C'mon, embrace the schadenfreude...

You know, if there's one thing we can be 100% certain of, it's that Trump is going to do what he's going to do regardless how you feel about it. And if there's a second thing we can be 100% certain of, it's that you're going to show up no later than post #4 in the thread pointing out the betrayal to school us all on how him doing the exact opposite of what he said is in fact actually what he said he was going to do.

Making drugs illegal was cover for much larger problems. Nobody I knew who was doing drugs 30 years ago had a great relationship with their parents. And none of them fit into the social hierarchies in school. The fundamental message going out to young people was 'we do not respect you as an individual and if you don't conform you're going to live a life of hardship'. And tack on 'oh yeah you're also going to spend half your waking hours in a literal prison that you're not allowed to leave and your movements will be super regulated and you will exercise when you're told and you will cheer when we tell you to cheer'. The only thing surprising about how this turned out is that people are still surprised at it. I was out of school less than 10 years when Columbine happened, and all the potheads I was hanging out with all went "well, DUH". And now we all have homeschooled kids and our message to them is 'we respect you as people and are trying to help you make decisions that will set you up to be happy first, and to find success where you can'. And all of these homeschooled kids have heard about Warren V DC, Deshaney V Winnebago County, and Castle Rock V Gonzales. They may not have them memorized but unlike our generation, they do tend to place importance on the things their parents think are important. So they know the authorities are operating under false pretenses by even suggesting that the point of analyzing your waste has anything to do with anything apart from subjugation.

My brother recently compelled me to watch this retrospective of Firefly because the presenter makes a damned good point. Of course we didn't get the conclusion that the show deserved (after about 10 seasons) but the primary reason it doesn't work today is because 20 years ago the writers were operating from a headspace where governments still had some sense of shame. They wrote stories with the understanding that the state had to keep up appearances and would go to pretty great lengths to cover up the fact that it had done horrible things. "Collateral Murder" was released 14 years ago. Nobody cared. The only response was to try to identify who leaked it and punish him. Before that, our tax dollars were literally paying for boy rape parties in Afghanistan. Still nobody cares. Trump already had every reason anyone ever needed to declare that he was going to be dismantling the FBI and returning all of its constitutional responsibilities to the entities that handled them prior to 1908. But we're not getting that - we're getting replacement, and continuation. Biden signed the pardon now because he doesn't give a shit because nobody else gives a shit. We're in Frank Zappa's late stage illusion of freedom and all people want is for some of the scenery to go back on stage. Nobody wants actual change. They just want the illusion back. Including you. Because who cares, really, if it's now or on January 19th? The only reason to care is because you know the main problem with doing it now is that the illusion of freedom is further shattered, and that's what matters the most to everyone. We all assume it's going to happen. We just don't want to know.

Psalm 111:10 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom: a good understanding have all they that do his commandments: his praise endureth for ever.

Believe it or not this isn't even the first time I've pointed out life imitates art... I think the first time I heard about toilet pipe spying suggested for real was several years ago now.

Clown world is quite humorous :up:

Donald John Trump HAS no grade point average: all courses are incomplete. Get back to me in 12 months.

I'd give her some brine shrimp

I think a lot of that has much more to do with the facts that: 1) Back then women actually put forth an effort to BE attractive, and 2) Nowadays a great many women try very hard to be UNattractive. If you add to that the fact that the attitudes and beliefs held by many women today tend to render them unattractive regardless of any pure physical beauty they may possess, and well…

Women were better looking forty years ago.

AWFULs, the whole miserable lot of them.

Same as it ever was with Trump...a few good picks, most mediocre swampers and some awful ones like this guy. This guy is fucking awful, seriously, why Trump? Why? There are thousands of people that would be a better choice than this clown. Posted by: Spence Rogers
