President Donald Trump has pardoned Austin native Ross William Ulbricht, the founder of the online drug marketplace Silk Road.

Trump announced the pardon Tuesday evening on his social media platform Truth Social, calling Ulbricht's sentence "ridiculous."

Trump said he granted the full pardon in honor of Ulbricht's mother "and the Libertarian Movement, which supported me so strongly." Trump pledged during a speech at the Libertarian National Convention in May 2024 to commute Ulbricht's sentence on the first day of his administration.

Ulbricht was arrested in 2013 and found guilty two years later on a variety of charges including drug trafficking, computer hacking and money laundering related to Silk Road. He quickly became a Libertarian hero following his initial arrest. The Libertarian Party — which has generally opposed to criminal drug policies and supported drug legalization — pushed for his release. Ulbricht has been held at the U.S. Penitentiary in Tucson, Arizona.

    ...he also pardoned cop killers. But two people on the board are okay with all these pardons. Kind of sickening if you really think about it - and now the Homeless Hairdo is admitting straight up he's repaying his supporters with these pardons.

    At his sentencing Ulbricht expressed remorse for his part in the deaths and addiction he caused. He carried to his cell the photos of six people who overdosed as a result of his illicit drug marketplace.

    Trying to trim down his sentence from the get go with "good behavior" 🙄.

    Generally when people overdose it's because of 4 main reasons...

    1) They don't understand what they're taking (fentanyl for instance) or how much is safe

    2) The drug hasn't been "cut" enough or cut with something dangerous

    3) They're too far gone to be saved by conventional means - iow, it was inevitable eventually

    4) They're playing a Vietnam vet tortured by his memories of war in an episode of The Mod Squad. 😌

    So, guys. When Bishop Budde exhorted Mr Tangerine Man "to have mercy upon" others, you applauded. Take note, ole pb didn't.

    So, Trump had mercy upon.

    So, splain. As po'd might say, I guess I'm just too plain stoopid to practice deranged TrumpHate.

    Help me out here.

    Almost amusing when more drugs cross the border from America into Canada. It is estimated that .8% of the fentanyl that enters the US from outside is from Canada while no figures of the reverse are available, (the US would not like to reveal them).

    Just a few days ago the biggest drug bust in Canadian history took place. Cocaine from a Mexican Cartel that crossed the Southern border and the border into Canada. Free passage through the USA that suggests the greatest need is to fix its own border security.

    Am I right? It's "that feckless dementia-ridden piece of crap's" open southern border that allowed the fentanyl to make its way into Canada? You should be praising MAGA!

    Your cognitive deficiency is showing, HtS

    If anyone here knows first-hand about cognitive deficiency, it is you, meagain.

    If MAGAts are okay with killing cops - they're okay with smuggling fentanyl.
