Saw Ross Ulbricht got the pardon yesterday, fulfilling a promise Trump made to Libertarians on the campaign trail. Reading a bit about his case, life in prison seems a bit extreme.

I think you’ll find most of the Right don’t support the blanket pardon. Those who attacked officers should not have been given a pardon. A commutation of the sentences would have been a better option. FWIW, most convictions in this area for assaulting a police officer result in a jail term of 3-5 years.

Murkowski and Collins get their political cover, and Hegseth is looking like he will be confirmed 51-49.
Trump is now worried about McConnell and Tillis. Will be high drama.Last edited by GoMuskies; 01-24-2025 at 06:09 PM.

I'd be willing to bet he's the most unqualified person every to get that job.
Was counting on the R senators to be better. Ugh....he went up late, and I was already up there.
