I really want to know more about some of these pardons. “The Jorgensen family knowingly sold misbranded beef and were convicted in 1996.” Uh, sure? -- nm - mafic Jan 20, 05:03 11
- You can read the appellate decision from 1998 -- (link) - ty97 Jan 20, 05:10
- Looks like they started a business selling premium beef, couldn't keep up with the demand and started blending in regular beef. - Reagen Jan 20, 05:06
- Seriously. He seems bad at this even without many of the treason weasels. - Will Hunting Jan 20, 05:06 2
  - They're basically rewards for contributing big bucks to his PAC, aren't they? -- nm - mara Jan 20, 05:10
  - There are a fair few of those. Or at least a lot of “non-violent drug offence” or first offence type things. -- nm* - mafic Jan 20, 05:07
- “Kyle Kimoto has served 12 years of his 29-year sentence for a non-violent telemarketing fraud scheme.” Are there violent telemarketing schemes? -- nm - mafic Jan 20, 05:04 5

  - Ask the mob. -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 20, 05:06
Anhyone else watching Donnie leave the WH? There's a fucking red carpet on the stairs. -- nm - loosilu Jan 20, 05:02 8

  - I’m in the “can we all just stop paying attention to him now?” phase. -- nm - znufrii Jan 20, 05:16
  - I"m definitely not there. I'm getting ready to flip the bird in his direction. -- nm - loosilu Jan 20, 05:14

  - That would be my wallpaper forever. -- nm - loosilu Jan 20, 05:04
