    "Day One" just means right away. Trump has everything on his plate from CIAISIS to nuclear stand-down with Russia. Let's allow a little time before saying he broke a promise. According to McArdle and Musk (both with verified access to inside-info), the commutation is already in-progress. Ulbricht isn't as high a priority as J6ers, and a lot of MAGA don't care about Ulbricht. So I'm sure Ulbricht is in the stack of "day one" stuff, closer to the bottom, and they're still churning through it all. Just my opinion.

    But I definitely want to see him released immediately...

    Yes! Trump is, so far, being a little better about keeping promises.

    I'm reading he didn't get access to the full case file until some time after the inauguration. After reviewing the full case file, he upgraded it to a full pardon, not just commutation.

    I don't want to spit on it, it is great that 1500 people + Ross get the boot off their necks.

    But yeah, I worry it's "peak liberty" for Trump 2.0. We will see.

    Yes, war in Ukraine, Middle East is a $#@!show, but in terms of Trump victims, what about the multitudes of families whose lives were destroyed by mRNA poison? Were they not also railroaded by a corrupt machine? Plus, this poison has emergency auth for another 5 years.

    People like McCardle want to shame people for not being optimistic. Well, all this $#@! Trump did barely takes us to the beginning of Biden's term. Trump could've pardoned all these people before he left office. Oh, but then where's the leverage for next run? It's 10 steps back and 1 step forward and we're supposed to be grateful?

    It's a silly game of teeter-totter where every new President issues orders countering the last four years while the Uniparty war pigs, big pharma, and big tech march forward unabated.

    "Grassroots" is replaced by how sentimental and hopeful you are about the next populist influencer with the greatest chance to be the one who unlocks the "golden age".

    If true, pretty much confirms that the murder for hire allegations were entirely fabricated and Trump has proof of that

    As I suggested in the thread OP, it was entirely possible that the "Day One" thing was just rhetorical:

    As it turns out, it was close enough that it makes no difference.

    And on top of that, the promise was just to commute Ulbricht's sentence - but instead, Trump went "above and beyond" keeping that promise, and issued a full and unconditional pardon.

    Not bad at all.

    And as I also noted earlier in this thread:

    If Trump doesn't keep a brain-dead-easy-to-accomplish promise like that, then there will be no reason at all to think he'll put much if any effort into following through on any of his other much more difficult promises.
    The Ulbricht promise was one he could keep "unilaterally", without the need for cooperation from anyone else.

    That's not the case with the DOE and Ukraine things, which (for that very reason) won't be nearly as easy to accomplish.

    So I could cut him some slack if he fails on those, as long as it's not for lack of trying - and the Ulbricht commutation pardon can be taken as a positive sign in that regard.

    Is he perfect? No, but then nobody is. So far I'm enjoying the $#@! out of his first day, he fired a stupid DEI Coast Guard Admiral, he took away Bolton's security detail again (woohoo!) and there will be more for the commie MSN and such to wail and gnash their teeth over. He pardoned Ross, which many were in doubt of. Will there be things to be thoroughly trashed here as completely against liberty? Of course. He's no Milei. In my insignificant opinion, he's a step in the right direction and I'm going to enjoy the $#@! out of the meltdown of the Orwellian left. I also find the anti- AIPAC sentiment of the MAGA folks/base encouraging even though at the moment it has no impact.

    Flame away.

    Ditto for me.

    The things you mention (and numerous other similar things) are why I don't buy into the "Trump is controlled opposition" narrative. Trump is just an "open" narcissist who has no principles - which puts him well ahead of most of his political enemies, who are "closeted" narcissists with bad principles.

    And entirely apart from being deeply gratifying to witness just for its own sake, the phenomenon of "'sploding libtard heads" goes a long way to fostering yet more (and yet bolder) anit-Establishment sentiment, which is not at all a bad thing (and that's another reason I don't buy the "controlled opposition" angle).
