Trump just issued the most ludicrous pardon in American history. He released Ross Ulbricht, the godfather of the Dark Web, where trafficked children, machine guns, illegal drugs, and hitmen are sold daily. The scariest part, however, is why he did it. I break it down fast:

Ross Ulbricht, the guy Trump just pardoned, was serving two life sentences plus forty years for making $180 million dollars off the Dark Web, selling murder for hire, steroids, fake IDs, and all manner of suffering and mayhem. He isn't a "libertarian," he's a piece of sh*t.

Ross William Ulbricht stole hundreds of millions of dollars & ran a massive dark web narcotics scheme as the drug epidemic destroyed lives. He was convicted. Trump just gave him a full & unconditional pardon. Remember this when Trump blames immigrants for drugs & economic harm.

Nothing special, just the top Russian propagandists on state TV rubbing their hands and smiling as they proclaim "THEIR BOY KASH PATEL and THEIR GIRL TULSI GABBARD" to be appointed to FBI and INTELLIGENCE of US... Rep. Don Bacon 🇺🇸✈️🏍️⭐️🎖️ , Joe Wilson please show this to all GOP

Looks like this is the tactic now: selectively remove security protection from domestic “enemies”, while simultaneously whipping up anger over their supposed disloyalty or treason, increasing the risk to their life.

Please stop whatever you are doing and watch this. The charlatan snake oil merchant RFK on the ropes as his very own words become knockout blows.

Meanwhile in Russia: state TV host Olga Skabeeva and pundit Spiridon Kilinkarov surmised that Donald Trump owes his presidency to Russia and should in return let them have all of Ukraine. youtu.be/tfF8VqKDs4I

Rory Stewart Reminded of the classic The West Wing scene, about selectively quoting from the Bible when it suits ones politics x.com/pastorkmcgill/…

JD Vance I’m so impressed by your IQ + Latin. And your ability to measure other’s IQ so instantly and confidently. But I hope your big genius is not making you patronising towards people with an IQ of 110 - since that is 75 % of the US population. And perhaps even 1 or 2 of your voters 😎

For almost 80 years the concept of a stable predictable US global order led US allies to integrate the most fundamental aspects of their security, and finances into a US-dominated system. They felt this was relatively risk free. Until now. 🧵

What tech watchers understand is Musk is doing what Musk does. He's broken the law time & again. He acts with impunity. It's the underlying model of Silicon Valley. Musk is simply applying this to the federal government. He expects to get away with it. Because he always has. 4/

The only war that Putin is winning is inside Trump’s head. Putin only wins the war on the ground by setting American policy, through Trump. theatlantic.com/international/…

Trump and Vance act as if the problem is that Ukraine is resisting an ongoing Russian invasion. The problem is the ongoing Russian invasion. If they want to use American power to stop the war, apply it to the aggressor. Abusing the victim is not going to end a war of aggression.

Imagine having the resources of 18 different intelligence agencies at your disposal, and instead getting your news from - and actively amplifying - a far-right grifter who is also an RT columnist. The best case scenario is that the DNI is kept well away from any actual decisions.
