Both parties still the same? I don't think so

One pardons Fauci, the other pardons Ross

During the days of Bush, we did have 2 wings of 1 bird. Things have changed. I like to think the the Ron Paul R3VOLUTION was an important part of that change.

How about this... He said he'd do it one day one and he waited all the way until day two!! Boo this man!

And there you have it.

Next, Snowden and Assange.

I hope so.

I am guessing that some people that don't come around much anymore will still not admit they were wrong. I wonder if the new spins is that Trump is just doing these things to further sucker us into his globalist plan as the best double agent for the establishment ever!

In all seriousness, Trump is doing his best to blow it with this AI-guided mRNA nonsense, and the concept is rightfully getting ripped to shreds by multitudes of MAGA social media accounts on Twitter.

Someone light up the Kennedy Bat-signal. Need him to get in there and thump Trump in the back of the head.

Maybe it's some 2,345-D chess.

Shove an obvious CIA goon out on stage and let him try to sell 'cancer curing' vaccines to the American public with COVID fresh in our minds, then 'open the animal pen gates at the Coliseum' so the American people can rip them to shreds.

Is Ross actually free as of this moment? When will he actually be let out of Prison? I hope there will be some video of his release.

Here's a pic of him since his release.

Massie reads a letter written by Ross. It sounds like he wants to get involved with some type of liberty activism after being released.

For the first time that I can recall, the Libertarian Party leveraged their position of potential power effectively by striking a deal with Trump to get a commutation/pardon of Russ Ulbricht.

The LP has always had this type of potential but unfortunately they have never put it into play until this cycle. They had power but never understood it or were unwilling to exercise it.

The strategic playbook for the LP, on a national level, should always have been to run a solid Presidential candidate hard in the swing states and force both Republican and Democrat parties to make concessions on policy matters. That is the LP's most direct path to power on the federal level.

Hopefully this lesson is well learned and the LP continues down this strategic political path of gaining more power over the decades to gain more and more pro-liberty actions and policies from the Republicans and Democrats.

I do think they went a little overboard in their execution by hosting Trump and saying favorable things about him prior to the action he took (he does some liberty things, but cannot be confused for a pro-liberty President). But overall I commend them for making the pardon happen.

Also, to add... I think having a Presidential candidate who has been a victim of the deep state and weaponization of the DOJ themselves, made him much more sympathetic to the cause of justice here. Thankfully I think Trump will now be a lot more skeptical of people charged and convicted of "crimes" in the future which should help limit the government's actions in some areas. His skepticism of the federal government should lead to greater restrain I'm hoping.

And there you have it.

Next, Snowden and Assange.

Assange is free but will probably never be pardoned.

Snowden will never be pardoned. He ought to be, but he pissed off all the wrong people on all sides of the aisle. You don't expose the VIP peeping-Toms while they're peeping...

 

[Anti Globalist]

Good on Trump for keeping his promise on this.

Ross Ulbricht posts first video after his pardon

That is a video of a broken man. What an absolute travesty of justice.

I hope we hear from him soon on a podcast, etc. The audience demand is huge, probably bigger than he realizes.
