Trump pardons drug kingpins even as he escalates U.S. drug war rhetoric

Crime bosses stick together!

Already during the early months of his second term, Trump has granted clemency to at least eight individuals convicted on federal drug charges. Some, including [Chicago gang founder Larry] Hoover, have extensive criminal records involving violence and gun charges.

"There's a lot of mixed messages and mixed signals [from the White House] which creates sort of chaos and uncertainty," said Jeffrey Singer, a drug policy analyst at the Cato Institute, a libertarian think-tank. "On the one hand you're threatening even tougher penalties on people who deal in drugs, while on the other hand you're releasing drug dealers from prisons."

    Cue OD and Brown Shorts making excuses for the Homeless Hairdo releasing even more murderous criminals onto the streets of America. Hey - they support violent crime with their votes - what else could you expect from them?


  2. by Indy! on May 31, 2025 10:13 am

    PS: Please note correct use of BOLD text (as always.)


  3. by oldedude on May 31, 2025 12:07 pm
    What I find interesting is that both of you have fully supported gang members in the past, calling them "mostly good people" and completely disavowing any ties to criminal activity and giving them a free pass over the border. princess was actually a play toy for them! So I don't understand why it's a big thing now. Other than your TPS.


  4. by Curt_Anderson on May 31, 2025 12:32 pm
    I never have and I don't believe Indy has ever called gang members "mostly good people". I believe most immigrants, including undocumented immigrants are mostly good people. Many of them have made arduous journeys in hopes of making a better lives for themselves and their family.


  5. by HatetheSwamp on May 31, 2025 12:54 pm

    This pardon stuff is a hoot. So, Curt, as our Fox News correspondent, can you fill us in on the claims that the Flatulent Fool was incapable of signing the Biden Crime Family pardons? Sumpthin to do with Parkinson's?


  6. by Curt_Anderson on May 31, 2025 1:12 pm
    HtS,
    I have no idea what you are talking about. Although if it's something reported on FOX I suspect it's bs.


  7. by Indy! on May 31, 2025 2:27 pm

    Curt - right. OD being a member of the Fox "dithering and diminished, feckless dementia-ridden" audience is mistakenly recalling the time I said Haitians were mostly good people. That was around the time the Fox Fiction Factory was trying to claim Haitian immigrants in Detroit were eating their neighbors cat and dog pets and the Homeless Hairdo actually repeated it during the debate with Biden. Then he unbelievably doubled down on it after the moderator corrected him and said the story had been debunked. No surprise that OD would fall for that one like he falls for everything else that happens outside his barracks.


  8. by Navy2711 on May 31, 2025 2:41 pm
    Why do OD and Hate instantly get defensive any time Trump is criticized? I thought they werent Trump supporters?


  9. by Indy! on May 31, 2025 6:49 pm

    Brown Shorts swears he voted for... (wait for it)... JD Vance. 😂


  10. by oldedude on May 31, 2025 8:59 pm
    navy. I'm no more "defensive" than anyone else on this planet. I bring my view of things. Just like you, curt and princess do. curt refuses to believe that pedojoe is guilty of anything, even though it's been proven wrong. You're just as bad. The issue you have to look at; neither one of us "defend trumpster" blindly, like the libtards do to pedojoe. I've said that, and expressed my differences numerous times regarding trumpster. I dare you to show me instances of any of you libtards, "not defending pedojoe."


  11. by oldedude on May 31, 2025 9:34 pm
    I never have and I don't believe Indy has ever called gang members "mostly good people".
    No, that's you. indy was pimped out from his "mommy" for sexual acts...

    Curt,

    How close are you and regretting lockstepping with the smoke-filled room on the Day Drinker?


  13. by HatetheSwamp on June 1, 2025 5:41 am

    From AI. (This must drive you progressive Swampcultists bonkers):

    "In May 2025, U.S. consumer confidence showed a significant rebound, with the Conference Board's Consumer Confidence Index rising by 12.3 points to 98.0. This marked the largest monthly increase in over four years and reversed a five-month [Biden generated] decline. The jump was attributed to improved consumer expectations, particularly regarding business conditions and future income prospects, following a temporary trade deal between the U.S. and China."

    As usual, when MAGA Hat Hate is cornered into dealing with a particularly inexcusable and heinous act committed by his Lord and Master Donald Trump, he can't say a single word about it in any of his responses. Just obfuscation and subject changing and utter irrelevancies is all we get as he calls us names for daring to criticize his Mendacious Messiah. MAGA Hat Hate is a flailing moron. It's times like this where it is glaringly apparent.

    He can't argue that the criminals that Trump is releasing are actually good guys wrongly accused, like he asserts that his Golden God is. There was nothing wrong with any of the convictions. To all appearances, Trump is just flagrantly releasing criminals who have done things that he wants to do, and thinks should be perfectly A-OK.

    MAGA Hat Hate can't think of a single thing to use to defend Trump with on this, so he tries to poo-poo the whole subject offhand. Like laughing at it makes it go away. Like Trump releasing violent drug dealing criminals and crime financiers back into the public should be no big whoop. Like we should just get over it. As Trump continues to blather on mendaciously about how tough on crime he is.

    One of these guys was serving two consecutive life sentences plus 40 years. So he's what you might call "Trump People". And they get special treatment, by god.


    Moments like this are when MAGA Hat Hate really shows us his true colors and the vast extent to which his despicably obsequious and slavish support of Trump extends.


  15. by Ponderer on June 1, 2025 6:23 am

    Even now, he will only respond by attacking me and others who don't like having a felon for a president and not address the actual subject of this thread...

    Trump pardons former sheriff convicted on bribery charges in ‘cash for badges’ scheme

    It might seem like an odd move, considering Trump’s previous claims of strong support for police integrity and the seriousness of the case against the former sheriff.

    Last December, a jury found Jenkins guilty of conspiracy, fraud and bribery in what federal prosecutors called a “cash for badges” scheme.

    At trial, prosecutors said people gave Jenkins thousands of dollars, and he made them auxiliary deputies with no training.

    The jobs didn’t pay, but prosecutors said those people received badges, expanded gun rights and the hopes of dodging traffic tickets and other legal entanglements.

    The disgraced sheriff mentioned in my post above, a guy named Scott Jenkins, is just blatantly corrupt. You know, Trump's sort of people.

  18. by Indy! on June 1, 2025 9:44 am

    OD and Brown Shorts have - once again - refused to admonish Trump's actions posted above. That means - according to OD's own... ahem.... "standard" - that BOTH of them support hardened, dangerous, drug dealing and murderous criminal being let free on the streets of America. I guess the old adage is true...

    Once a cop killer - always a cop killer. 😌


  19. by meagain on June 1, 2025 9:50 am
    One outstanding difference between the American version of free speech and that of more enlightened countries (all developed nations) is OD's daily slur of "pedojoe." In many countries, that probably meets the bar for criminal libel and could carry a prison sentence.


  20. by Indy! on June 1, 2025 10:00 am

    OD is merely trying to normalize his pedophilia on the board here by continually, perpetually and unabashedly inserting it into...

    EVERY

    FREAKIN'

    POST

    HE

    MAKES

    ...on the board.


  21. by oldedude on June 1, 2025 11:55 am
    wrongagain- The difference is that there is video of him copping feels of tweenage and teenage girls. I don't use the term lightly. Seven women have now accused Joe Biden of touching them in an overly familiar way that made them feel uncomfortable or embarrassed. And then there was the boob graze of Eva Longoria. I didn't have enough room to put all the times that were not even borderline wrong.

    I've cited these before. So fuck you if you two can't read and are too into your TPS to be rational. I've also not included ANY that snopes said were made up or not true.

    In the face of the entire board telling him that he's dodging the topic and engaging in whataboutisms, OD's only response is about Biden.


  23. by oldedude on June 1, 2025 12:15 pm
    Unfortunately, you didn't bother to actually read the posts (as usual). the pedojoe response was directed at wrongagin and princess who brought up the subject in the two posts directly above my response to them. Please read the fucking posts before you sling your "ASSumptions."


  24. by Navy2711 on June 1, 2025 12:18 pm
    Yes, I know you're responding to them. You're not responding to the topic.


  25. by oldedude on June 1, 2025 12:30 pm
    So I'm getting blamed for responding to trolls that changed the subject🙄. Got it. You don't have anything better than that?


  26. by Navy2711 on June 1, 2025 12:32 pm
    You're still doing it. You absolutely REFUSE to address the topic, lol


  27. by oldedude on June 1, 2025 12:47 pm
    See #3.

    And I know you just hate me as much as princess does, and you argue just as much as wrongagain. Do I agree with the pardons? not really. Do I actually give a flying fuck? not really. Pardons have gotten so cheap since pedojoe pardoned his entire family, they don't really matter. First, they're out of my control, so really, I don't care. And yes, it's a comparative value. pedojoe pardoned racists and his entire family. trumpster pardoned a 75 year old guy. I still don't like either one of them, and feel like this is just another TPS thread by curt.

    I find curt's approval and support of murderers, rapists, wife beaters in the past years overturns any whining about Hoover. And hoover wasn't "pardoned," his sentence on one trial was "commuted" only. He's still serving his sentence on other charges. So I see a lot of lying in the thread and "ASSumptions" that aren't factual.

    Well, "Other people did it so I dont care that it's being done now and it doesnt matter" is a crap answer, but it IS an answer. Why was it so difficult to get you to address the topic? Why should we, the other board members, have to put up with ten posts of dodging and name-calling just to get a straight answer out of you?


  29. by oldedude on June 1, 2025 1:31 pm
    "Other people did it so I dont care that it's being done now and it doesnt matter" isn't what I said. I said that it's out of my control, and the lead thread is extremely inaccurate. Two entirely different things. And since you brought it up, I'm wasting my time on shredding the issue with you. Since you changed the subject, I should just not respond to you. Right?

    If you want me to stay on subject, tell your girlfriend and wrongagain to stop being trolls. Of course, that would be the pot calling the kettle beige.


  30. by Navy2711 on June 1, 2025 1:57 pm
    "Other people did it so I dont care that it's being done now and it doesnt matter" isn't what I said"

    Yes, it is. You literally said you dont give a fuck. You literally said pardons dont matter. And you cited Biden as your reason.


  31. by oldedude on June 1, 2025 2:02 pm
    If you just want to be a troll and just argue. find someone else.


  32. by Navy2711 on June 1, 2025 2:04 pm
    Your exact words:

    "Do I actually give a flying fuck? not really. Pardons have gotten so cheap since pedojoe pardoned his entire family, they don't really matter."

    *shrug*


  33. by oldedude on June 1, 2025 2:06 pm
    And of course, you didn't bother with the main reason. I don't give a fuck because the lead post is inaccurate and nothing more than a typical TPS piece curt spams the site with. You obviously don't care about accuracy, you're just supporting you own narcissism, along with princess and wrongagain.


  34. by oldedude on June 1, 2025 2:08 pm
    *shrug*
    🙄


  35. by Indy! on June 1, 2025 2:18 pm

    Correction, OD - I do not hate you.
