    The Paul Walczak pardon is even worst. He was pardoned literally right after the 1 million dollar donation.

    Nd your MAGA cultists @HTM @raining threes will argue that Trump is fighting the "elites." Mental disease

    Wait for it gonna to beat neutral non-partisan @Space Ghost to the punch

    “Think of the bribery and corruption!

    Seriously nobody cares about this TDS people have going. Don’t you remember that one thing Biden did? People have nothing better to do than criticize Trump for selling favors ”

    Its a sad state of affairs when presidential pardons only cost $1 million. Hell, Killary was charging one assassination for every presidential pardon.

    Joe Biden pardoned multiple family members for 10+ years of corrupt behavior. Literally selling access to the US government in quid pro quo deals. Liberals are in no position to accuse anyone of corruption ever again. And the evidence free accusations against Trump is just their latest attack in a long line of dishonest attacks.


    GOOD DAY

    LOL here comes the cult. None of joe bidens family members ever worked for the us government nor did joe biden ever do anything in favor of his family members. Joe biden never sold pardons to the highest bidder. Joe biden didnt run around peddling crypto scams to foreign governments. None of Joe Bidens kids ever got a security clearance or receive classified intel. These are the facts regardless if you live in a alternative reality.

    Its just funny that you dumbasses think your propoganda works on anyone with half a brain. Your cult hero is selling pardons to the highest bidder. No other president ever did anything remotely similar.

    So why did Joe Biden pardon several family members and for so many years?

    Do you believe Hunter Biden was an expert on Ukrainian natural gas?

    Your lies don’t even make sense! In fact they don’t even pass the red face test.


    GOOD DAY

    the answer to this question is just obvious . . . clearly you don't pay someone that much without them having some level of expertise in the field. c'mon man!

    You'll find more details outside the White House site at the bottom. Some of these old articles are disgusting.

    President Donald Trump’s pardons and commutations have cost more than $100 million in fines owed to the federal government and another $1.5 billion in restitution to victims.

    https://www.forbes.com/sites/sarado...dons-cost-at-least-15-billion-in-restitution/

    Trump Flouts Pardon Rules — and Costs Victims and Taxpayers More Than $1 Billion

    Many of the president’s recent pardons violate Justice Department policies designed to ensure fairness and public safety.

    There is a huge difference between the conflicts of interest and corruption between the Biden family and the Trump family, and it isn't even remotely close. Besides Trump's family Crypto business, his media companies, his Trump merchandise, hotels, golf courses, and many other businesses, his Trump family business foreign interests are huge, and growing. Talk about conflicts of interest, Trump is the grifting King of them all. Then there's so much difference nor money to Trump for pardons, policies, and entitlements.

    Just like Donald Trump Jr. launching that exclusive membership club called "Executive Branch" in Washington, D.C. with an annual membership fee of $500,000 and is invite-only. Using Daddy's influence to make a millions and do favors for the wealthy in return is all so gross and corrupt. Just as gross is Kushner and Ivanka with their eyes on Gaza Strip development like dear Daddy. They are all snakes.

    Twenty-one Trump-branded real estate projects will be developed in foreign countries during Trump’s presidency

    Instead of a ban on foreign deals, the Trump Organization’s ethics plan restricts business with foreign governments themselves. It fails to restrict them enough to mitigate potential conflicts, however. Many Trump developments have unnervingly close relationships to foreign governments where they’re being developed. Trump and his kids parade around the world seeking business deals and tit for tat policy promises at taxpayer expense.

    Bcz joe biden is a naive dad who loves his son too much and lets his love get in the middle of decision making. Being a naive and dumb dad does not make you corrupt. There is zero evidence Joe biden ever got paid on behalf of his son dealings nor did Hunter biden ever work for the government in any way shape or form. Hunter is a shitty human and should be away from public office. These are the facts

    Trumps kids have security cleareances and peddling crypto deals on behalf of the us government and profitting to the tune of billions. If you cant seperate the two then you're a braindead human @StupidMoniker


    Nobody on these forums has been exposed as a bigger loser than this man right here. Spent the past 4 years spamming the forum every day of every low iq conspiracy only to suddenly disappear when real corruption happens.

    Its just a dumb electorate

    Banks flag transactions over 10k literally all the time. You obviously have never owned a business or have real money or else you know this is a common thing.

    You are one dumb human sorry to say

    Joe was so corrupt that Comer and Gymmy could never even produce anything that they could even flaunt, then they had a Russian liar at one point...............they had such a hard on for him if they even had the smallest inkling of wrongdoing they would have pounced.......................but as typical maga sheep, they just keep shouting it without any evidence. I am 100% convinced that even if you had trump in the epstein files maga would be mad for a minute then they would find a way to rationalize it..................ya know, 15 is ok in some countries and hell if you go back to 1910 woman were getting married at 14-15 so what's the big deal. Its just like some folks on the far-right media who are already saying maxwell could have been a victim.................have they not heard from the victims who say otherwise? maga will bend their morals to whatever way their wanna be king tells them.........if you support that, then there's not much else to say, your evil

    You don't seem to get it. I don't like Trump. I said he should be impeached based on the Crypto Coin thing. I think he should be impeached for selling pardons. The fact is that Joe Biden pardoned 11 years of everything Hunter Biden did, and they happen to be the 11 years when Hunter was out "selling the Biden brand" or whatever euphemism people wanted to use for selling access to Joe. It's fine that you are some superfan, but it is just embarrassing that you can't admit that Biden was also corrupt.

    Joe Biden didn't pardon Joe Biden. The pardon could potentially be used to prevent Hunter from pleading the 5th. I hated the pardon, but I didn't think it says anything about Joe doing bad things, but we always know Hunter has skeletons that are easy to find.

    But the difference being that @StupidMoniker cant grasp is Hunter was given no special privileges in the WH. He had no security clearance. He wasn't peddling access to biden on behalf of the WH. Hunter was a shitty human but he wasn't getting paid by taxpayers.

    The WH is peddling access and regulatory help through his kids on behalf of Trump. Trump is directly benefiting from these schemes



    If you cant tell the difference between the two then you are sincerely braindead
