Why does he write “million” after the number 20,000,000? Is it because the people on Truth Social won’t know what the numbers are without it?

the numbers are also ridiculously high. Like cmon man at least make it a believable souped up number 🫠

Trump pardons former sheriff convicted of bribery

Guy was supposed to report to prison today to start serving a ten year sentence, and instead gets away scott free. Apparently crooked folks all over the country are falling all over themselves to try to get the swamp king's ear so they can try and buy a pardon, going so far as to even hire lobbyists now to help them do it. Sadly, this just goes to show that not only does crime in fact pay, but that paying can make said crime just magically go away.

Lobbying for pardons has been part of the system from its inception, though.  Unfortunately, it's built into the system as a way to leverage powerful people who can ostensibly offer something in exchange for forgiveness.

Why is he on campus if he dropped out?

Probably thought he could brag about what he does to seem extra awesome except he's trying to brag to people who actually know he's full of shit and have the vocabulary to say so. With references.

Just a random thought:  Imagine it's announced that Trump will be attending some sporting event. 

All the players come on the field...take a knee - and refuse to play until he leaves.

Trump has approved the Nippon Steel and US Steel partnership . . . personally, I think Nippon Steel should tell them to fuck off, as many of the steelworkers' fathers were all jap this and jap that back in the day. 

What the fuck ever. I'm certain Nippon Steel has a longer term vision anyway. And of course Trump mistakenly calls Nippon Steel "Nissan."

So Nippon Steel should refuse because current workers' fathers were racist? That's like saying the US should refuse because of Pearl Harbor.

I'm talking about their fathers who worked in the steel mills that got shut down by Japanese steel companies like Nippon Steel. Much of the sentiment against China right now mirrors the US-Japan rivalry in the 1980s. Trump wanted Japan to be tariffed to hell back then.

And lol, mentioning Pearl Harbor like this is in exceptionally poor taste.

Okay? You still haven't explained the point of punishing current workers for their fathers' actions. Your explanation makes it feel like even more of a non-sequitur than it did before.

Is it? I think it's equally as ridiculous to hold a grudge over generations in both cases.

I think he's being sarcastic.  If I recall, he was one of the biggest proponents for the deal here on the boards, so it's unlikely he's suddenly opposed to it.

I was before Trump got re-elected. Knowing the history of the rust belt, the current attitude toward globalism by many MAGA type blue collar workers, and Nippon Steel saving their jobs . . . it just leaves a poor taste in my mouth. As I said, I trust that Nippon Steel has a suitable long term plan. The deal is being made regardless of what I think, and it makes Trump look good. Whatever, really.

Most certainly.  The racism of the previous generation hasn't gone away, and its evident in how Pennsylvania's blue collar workers voted in the last election.
