Keep seeing unsettling videos of the DC police saying that no more J6 prisoners are being released tonight.

Why?

I truly pray it isn't because a lot of these prisoners have been abused so much to the point where it's trying to be hidden ... But my gut is telling me that is exactly the reason why.
I bet you, that this will make Trump's presidency short-lived.
 
Trump Says He’ll Fill US Strategic Oil Reserve ‘Right to the Top’

President Donald Trump said he plans to fill the US’s strategic oil reserve “right to the top” after it reached lows not seen since the 1980s under President Joe Biden.

Trump vowed to “bring prices down, fill our strategic reserves up again right to the top and export American energy all over the world” during his inaugural address at the Capitol Monday.

The Strategic Petroleum Reserve, which has a maximum capacity of about 700 million barrels, currently stands at at 394.4 million barrels following a record selloff during Biden’s administration. The drawdowns under Biden included selling 180 million barrels into the global market in an attempt to bring down gasoline prices following Russia’s 2022 invasion of Ukraine.

Biden had begun slowly refilling the emergency cache, which was created in the aftermath of Arab oil embargo in the 1970s, but ran out of funding to buy more crude after purchasing about 60 million barrels. It would take an act of Congress to appropriate more money for the Energy Department’s petroleum account.

That the SPR gets used for civilian purposes at all is horrendously retarded. 700 million barrels is barely a long month's supply for the US.
 
I must be honest, I really thought Trump was gonna pussyfoot around pardoning Jan 6ers but he just plows through and gets them out on the first day. Nigga is on a warpath, and I'm quite eager to see what RFK Jr. is gonna bring to the table.

It's all looking very promising for you guys, happy for you all
I want Beef Tallow fries in every restaurant and for prices to be like the 90s and 00s again.
 
Is it true he's pardoning Ulbricht?
Yep, he directly promised to pardon him, it'll either be later tonight or early tomorrow


No but sort of yes.
Trump said he's COMMUTE the sentence not pardon.

A pardon (more explicitly a full pardon, you can give partials) means your record is expunged and its like your offense never happened kind of. Its still on record, etc. That means voting rights and firearm rights are back, you cannot be denied access to employment options that denied to ex-cons, your background check (should) come back clean. Its overturning the conviction without overturning it.

Commuting means driving to work, he's condemning Ross to being a wagie he is reducing the punishment for someone convicted of a crime but is not touching the conviction. Ross is still guilty of all the shit he did, but the sentence will no longer be double life + 40. Ross may not get out of jail; Trump could reduce the sentances to all 40 years running concurrent. Regardless, when he gets out he will still have his convictions on his record.

I don't get the bugaboo about Weedlord Bitcoin Hitler. Dude is fucking guilty, he ran trading site for illegal shit for profit.


We'll see what Trump does.

Probably because it’s 3 AM.
 
How long do you think Biden will last now that they don't have to keep him alive anymore?
Joe and Dr. Biden are killed in a suicide attack by a crazed ‘AOC progressive libtard’ to destroy any chance of someone under the age of 65 takes control of the party.

Birthright was an intentional misreading of a law that was used to solidify something the left really really wanted.
That's about as retarded as saying that 2A doesn't actually say people have a right to bear arms
This is the point of contention.
I really don't see the argument that US has no jurisdiction over people in the country illegally working out very well
 
Immigration lawyers are some of the most dangerous fucking people around; only a rung below divorce/family court services.

Liberals / Progressives, of all types, even "educated" types, are all fucking retarded, insane, and talk out of both sides of their mouths and want the law to flip-flop depending on how their feelings demand. They want illegals to have access to education, welfare, and a whole host of shit our own citizens have a hard time accessing, to include putting the illegals at the front of the line and going the extra mile to ensure they can drain our resources. But when it comes to law being what the law is, well they're illegal, and so, because of their feelings, they shouldn't be subject to the fucking law, despite receiving special considerations due to their status. Don't wonder too much about these people, they're all fucking venomous liars who can't hold a steady position.

Tell me, what's the deal with that AF post account on X? Trump just signed an EO that makes it harder for "skilled" jeets to come here and now they just posted a quote from months back. I used to think they were a legit news source until I noticed a pattern of them trying to validate /pol/tard doomerisms?

Here is the full text of the J6 Protester Pardon document:
So in that alternate timeline where Harris won -- or more likely "won" -- all those people would most likely still be rotting in hellish conditions, as political prisoners?

I imagine that inauguration speech in that alternate timeline would be something about "reuniting America" under "social justice" and "Our Democracy" as well. Some TDS too?
 
Trump should freeze his assets so he can't afford a lawyer, so he gets a public defender

.....and then shits his pants as his public defender walks into the room and its russell greer
It could be Nick Rekieta.
The american coastline along The Gulf of Mexico extends for ~2700 km, the mexican coastline for ~2800 km so that's not true.
Convert that shit to Freedom Units.
