Pardon follows months of efforts by Changpeng Zhao to boost the Trump crypto company

Trump has pardoned billionaire crypto mogul and Binance founder Changpeng Zhao -- who pled guilty to money laundering charges. This comes after Zhao helped boost the Trump family's crypto business. It's just the latest example of Trump's Pay-to-Pardon Scheme.

My wife and I are dining at a Chinese restaurant this weekend. I'll ask for an order of "Changpeng Zhao" and see what I get.

"Nice to see about (fill in the blank) now".

Is your standard giving the middle finger to any issue of law or morality which contradicts whatever Trump is doing that moment.

Just like BELLRINGER, no one knows what your values are; and everyone doubts that you have any.

Is there anything, anything at all, that you've failed to excuse for Trump?

Maybe you'll be loyal to him to the bitter end. But in other parts of MAGA world deep cracks are showing.

We can start with Texas cattlemen, for reasons I should not have to explain to you.

We have a lot of cattle raisers in my part of the world, that's why my local MAGA Congressman, who stands over six feet tall, in currently cowering uncomfortably under his desk.

We know their values:
1. Owning the Libs
2. Promoting Nazis
3. Pedophilia

We've known this since their hero Rush Limbaugh was caught sneaking off to Cuba to rape underage boys.

None of you cared about how many or who Biden pardoned. How's that trolling? If you weren't such hypocrites I wouldn't even be saying anything.

This particular Trump pardon is utterly corrupt.

It would also have been corrupt if Biden did it, if that makes you feel any better.

Honestly, I wonder why it should.

The point being: Donald Trump is Stand Alone Scum.

He is Scum in his own right and by his own constant and serious effort.

That's a problem for me and the country.

But you do you.

You don't care who or how many people Trump pardoned in 2020.

You don't care Trump pardoned violent criminals who partook in the J6th insurrection.

You don't care Trump pardoned George Santos.

You don't care about Trump bulldozing the White House and sending billions to Argentina while keeping the government shut down.

You have zero ground to stand on.

You're a fkkking hypocrite.

I was just going to ask if anyone has made this about Biden yet.

Then I see lfthndcuck's post and ... well ...

- made this about Biden yet.

That particular obfuscating logical fallacy Whataboutism should sue Trumpers here for Abuse!

It's really all they have, as Trump's actions and inactions are Indefensible, even for his most fawning sycophant Fascist Cult Members.
