Fucker tried to murder other people, including the roommates of his employees.

Then he should have been tried and convicted on that charge. Instead, he was given a sentence that was disproportionate to his charges.

Does trump know that it's HIS border agency that catches stuff going in?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago

To be clear, he doesn't care about illegals either, except as a talking point to get Murcans fired up.

Trump: *word-farts some demented rapist bullshit as per usual*

Corporate News: Well actually it turns out his actions point to this being a false claim . . .

People for whom this is somehow still news: We told you so!

Ross Ulbricht's release was a deal with the Libertarians for their endorsement. Silk Road did not offer weapons and he did not hire a criminal to murder anyone. The FBI staged the whole thing. They forced his old roommate to pose as a murder victim. He later appoligized. A pretty messy affair and Ulbricht's release is justified. Even though Trump only did it to gain Libertarian votes.

Fentanyl is so bad it is prohibied even on deep web illegal marketplaces. Do some research before spreading lies. A lot of stuff was not allowed on the silk road.

Where are the lies in the OP that I spread?

Fentanyl was prohibited on Ulbricht's website.

Can you source this? I can't find any links that talk about fentanyl sales being banned. The site sold thousands of drugs/gold/bitcoin/cash/ids/hacking tools, on and on:

Banning a popular drug seems unlikely. Testing to make sure people weren't selling it anyway certainly never happened.

Anything to "harm or defraud". It was not a popular drug - it was fraudulently added to other drugs, making a greater profit at the expense of customer lives. Middlemen and even some end users were expected to purchase testing kits from third parties.

For what it's worth, banning fentanyl is still common.
