John Long was at home at his pig farm in Colorado when he received a message he never expected. Marian Morgan, a scammer who had stolen $20 million from him and thousands of other investors through a Ponzi scheme, was being released from prison less than halfway through her 33-year sentence.
It was not for good behaviour or because she had paid her victims back. Morgan was being released because President Trump had commuted her sentence, freeing her and writing off the restitution payments she owed the people she had defrauded. Long, an 80-year-old Trump voter, believes Morgan is “criminally insane”. He added: “She’s going to suck money out of somebody.”
Morgan is one of about 1,800 criminals who have been pardoned or freed from jail by Trump during his second term. The vast majority were convicted or charged in relation to the riots on Capitol Hill on January 6, 2021, after Trump lost the previous year’s election; he pardoned them en masse when he returned to office last year.
But he has also pardoned individual criminals, including fraudsters who owed more than $1 billion to their victims and American taxpayers, according to the House of Representatives judiciary committee. Many of them, including Morgan, were absolved of the debts they owed their victims.
Republicans are full-on in the throws of FAFO-ing, but its rather amusing for someone to vote for the known conman only to end up losing out on your share of the $20+ million in restoration from a con. I only wish his finding out was video recorded so we can watch it in YouTube over and over. We all have to suffer tRump, but theres a certain level of glee to get from this. We’re all suffering from Trump, but I am just hoping it keeps hurting MAGAts worse! He f*cking deserves this. But, knowing how STUPID the MAGAts are, I bet he’d vote for tRump again.
They’ll vote for another Republican president just as corrupt and shitty as this one. Makes no difference. All they have to do is get on stage and say something about muslims, trans, slavery reparations (as in we’re not paying them), mexican immigrants, and finally, replacement theory. That’s all. Simpletons.
I have no fucking sympathy for these people what’s so fucking ever. I’m exhausted. We yelled and yelled and yelled that this shit would happen from the fucking highest mountain in America and they just shrugged their shoulders and pointed it some trans kid just trying to be fucking left alone or some fucking Mexican working on the side of the road thinking that that mother fucker is going to take your job. I’m done with these people fuck them fuck them fuck them fuck them there isn’t there is nothing I mean nothing redeemable about these people. They have shown time and time and time again that they are fucking idiots. I am exhausted.
oh, no! how horrible! at least you’ll learn something important from this, right? right‽
Lawyers working on pardon cases say a “cottage industry” has sprung up under Trump where attorneys and lobbyists who are close to the White House claim they can use their access to the president to secure pardons — for a price.
Just more open corruption, everybody! Nothing to see here! Go about your business! Maybe somebody with a spine will magically show up to hold these criminals accountable for their actions, you’ll just have to wait and see!
Good! Fuck him.
This is exactly why these fucking people need to lose their right to vote. If you are too fucking stupid to understand simple cause and effect you should not be allowed to participate in democracy. If you cannot discern reality from your own stupid fucking ignorance you should not have a say in how things are run.
Don’t believe in climate change? NO VOTING FOR YOU!
don’t believe in dinosaurs? GET THE FUCK OUT OF THE BOOTH!
7/10 americans believe in “angels” …are you fucking kidding me? And you wonder why trash like trump and tommy fucking tatertown keeps getting elected? Spoiler: it’s because the voters are literally the stupidest and most ignorant fucking people on earth
There is a refrain of “the biggest problem with democracy is the people” historically. From Plato to Carlin.
My favorite snide insult is when someone does something remarkably idiotic “thank god they vote.”
And you deserve every bad thing that happens to you.
Probably the price for the bribe was way lower of what she would have to repay back, so it was a no-brainer
Im not being hyperbolic when I saw watching the leopards feast is one of the few things keeping me going. That there is some kind of larger, indifferent, “cause and effect” type of cosmic justice.
If you punch yourself in the balls, they’re going to hurt. And then if you complain that your balls hurt, I’m going to laugh at you :D
“yeah, you can definitely write an article about how deeply stupid and gullible i am, sounds great. make sure to name me, too, so everyone knows.”
A fellow connoisseur of 100% truthful political news.
So the author was conned once by a Ponzi scumbag, then conned again by Trump. It’s probably time to declare themself mentally incompetent, find a trusted family member, and give them power of attorney.
The Times was like, “this is our guy,” and published him.
Who I am worried about are the other folks who were defrauded, and how I feel that the restitution the fraudster no longer has to pay will find its way into Trump family pockets in return for the pardon.
Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me 35379 times, but what about Obama’s email to Hillary about Hunter’s birth certificate!?!
M’laptop hunter bidems!
You’ve got to remember that these are just simple farmers. These are people of the land. The common clay of the new West. You know… morons."
