Next, I hear Trump is going to prospectively pardon Hillary Clinton for killing Jeffrey Epstein.

They got him but let Mark Karpels get away basically scott free.

I don’t care that he got pardoned because I agree with the notion that if one is going to buy drugs, his way was safer. But what about all the simple large dealers who got 30 and 40 years? He made more than all of them. Major marijuana dealers got far more time than he did. All kinds of peripheral people got far more time than he ended up getting.

If you fashion yourself tough on crime and law and order, think drug offenders should get long sentences, then this is a problem going forward if you care at all about hypocrisy .

Not saying you. I have no idea where you fall on drug sentencing.

I agree, "his way" was far more dangerous out of the raw convenience. Let's face it, if he had facial tattoos and last name Ramirez this guy is in prison forever. But he was a college graduate, nice looking white guy, his wholesome Mom stating her case for release. To analogize this it's the exact same thing as when a female suddenly goes missing. If she is 20 years old from a upper class neighborhood and a hot blonde its national news. 200 lbs black lady from east Chicago it does not even make it to a missing poster to a telephone pole.

it's a textbook definition of white privilege

I guess what worries me a bit about this is the fact that Trump is showing signs of haphazardly doing things in his second term, which wasn't the case during his first one.

Haphazard actions can be a problem because some Presidential decisions require careful consideration, analysis, and strategizing before making them. Trump seems to just get something in his head is a good idea, and does it.

In some areas, it's refreshing. We don't need long, drawn out studies to figure out if we should end DEI in federal hiring, or to keep men out of women's sports and prisons. Those are no-brainers, and it's nice that Trump unapologetically ends this stuff without any kind of waiting period.

In foreign policy, this can also work in some areas. His killing of Soleimani in 2020 was a good example. Democrats were horrified that he didn't carefully study the implications of the action. Trump thought to himself, "Fuck that guy, he's a longtime terrorist who has killed lots of Americans, we have the chance to kill him, and Iran is going to be too pussified to start a war with us." And he turned out to be 100% correct. Additionally, these type of actions resonate with other enemies, who realize that Trump doesn't fuck around, and is capable of anything at any time, which is a big edge.

However, other ideas of Trump's DO require careful study and consideration. DOGE, for example, is a good idea in theory, but it needs to execute its actions very carefully, and not just cut jobs for the sake of cutting jobs.

This Ulbricht thing, while minor in the grand scheme, is an example of an action taken without properly considering all the reasons it was a mistake. But I guess Trump owes the rich cryptobros who supported him, so this is one of the bones he threw.

out of rep comments, but cutting Government jobs is never a bad thing, it's just a another toll on us taxpayers, Gov. jobs do not create income... just the opposite...

It's a bad thing if you cut essential jobs. You can fuck up departments which are badly needed by the public.

I agree a lot of cuts are necessary, but it needs to be done carefully.
