Corruption is one of the most important authoritarian tools. Putin uses it extensively. As long as local officials deliver the election results Putin wants, they can steal with impunity. With time the demands grow. It’s an extra tax that keeps authoritarian countries poor. Welcome to the new USA – North America’s Russia, Western Hemisphere’s Nigeria.

That is just another future Yes Man but he wants to have something he can hold over their head too to keep him in check if he disagrees with him over something and remind him he got him pardoned.
I wonder what position he will give him…

Trump is using his pardoning power like its a toy. It’s infuriating

Trump has pardoned so many sex criminals I expect him to give a posthumous medal to Jimmy Savile.

It’s bananas how many times I’ve seen this chump rail about BIDEN about something that started back when he was the top dog. I loathe everyone so much right now. Shit like this is why I much prefer animals.

ICE is after the wrong “Worst of the worst” criminals among immigrants. The REAL“Worst of the worst” criminals are free to the roam the streets.with no thanks to a felon president.

They call it overreach. Overreach? This from a bunch that wanted a potential 30 year sentence for throwing a sandwich. This regime models their DOJ and law enforcement on Gestapo tactics

Many of these pardons come with no longer having to pay restitution to the victims.
George Santos no longer has to pay back the $370,000 he stole including aggravated identity theft in one case for $11,000.
>SCOOP: The FBI informant convicted of lying to the Bureau about a fake bribery scheme involving the Bidens has been quietly released from prison just months into a six-year sentence—raising concern he could be pardoned by Donald Trump any moment.
>Alexander Smirnov, who has multiple business ties to Trumpworld, was sentenced days before Trump became president. He had pleaded guilty to fabricating a story that former President Joe Biden and his son, Hunter, had received millions in bribes from Burisma, a Ukrainian energy company, as well as to a $2 million-plus tax evasion offense.
>Yet despite Smirnov being judged a flight risk, with ties to Russian intelligence and foreign assets, the U.S.-Israeli citizen has been mysteriously missing from prison for at least the past four months.
I wonder how party of law and order are going to reconcile prosecuting Comey for lying to the FBI and pardoning this guy for lying to the FBI.

As someone whose job includes working to prevent and detect fraud, this whole ‘pardon everyone who commits fraud’ thing makes me fucking sick.

We are taking those pardons back and sending ALL these criminals back to where they belong. These criminals better enjoy their time as free people while it lasts.

[Most, if not all of these now pardoned multimillion dollar tax cheats get to keep all the money they stole.](https://www.forbes.com/sites/howardgleckman/2025/05/30/trumps-pardons-of-tax-cheats-erode-confidence-in-the-tax-system/)
They no longer have to pay back their victims or the IRS.
Waiting for Cheeto to say he has no idea who this is.
Purge the pedophile President

Speaking of pardons, there’s this bit of information–
