The civil case is just there as an example (among many) of what kind of person he is and didn't need to be in the headline. The pardon was for the 3 year prison sentence for $39 Million dollars in tax fraud for he stealing his employees payroll tax withholdings.
Edit: He also had a prison sentence from the state of Arkansas, where he was immediately paroled and the parole board refuses to pass on his location to process servers. An all around amazing guy who's exactly the sort of person you would expect Trump to pardon.
Sounds like a piece of shit.
Trump deserves it more than the French monarchy ever did. God damn.
Let's not go crazy here. Feudalism was an evil that lasted for over a thousand years. Killing it was worth any cost.
The current wealth imbalance is orders of magnitude worse, the twisted and morally bankrupt ruling class shows even more naked contempt for us than any king ever did, and feudalism never threatened to make the entire planet uninhabitable. It's objectively worse now in a lot of ways and only the sheer amount of material wealth and comfort that exists and surrounds us make it seem tolerable.
No war but class war - we were born into a badly weakened, largely pacified labour movement. If we don't start playing hardball, we're going to end up back at feudalism; and this time Louis XIV will have nukes.
They are all such great people!
