A lightweight news hub to help decentralize the fediverse load: mirror and discuss headlines here so the giant instance communities aren’t a single choke-point.

It was probably cheaper to donate to trump and getting a pardon. Rather than going through litigation.
I thought pardons were for criminal charges, not civil fines?
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.
They are all such great people!
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.
Is only crime was making a bunch of money. We must remember that the ends always justify the means as long as the means don't inconvenience me or mine. amen.
He certainly wouldn't pardon a person who isn't morally evil.
Ah, but a prison sentence would have been detrimental to him, so that's ok.
