In what may be an American first, President Donald Trump pardoned a company sentenced to $100 million in fines for breaking money laundering laws.

This is some serious unprecedented bullshit. Especially when their charge was money laundering. Basically he is making money laundering legal. Go ahead and break the law. Trump will pardon you…

    I’m not sure if you’re being sarcastic or not, but that is what I actually think. Like, that’s just what empires do imo. Sharks can be pretty brutal to smaller fish. Empires are brutal to smaller nations. It’s just how it works. Nothing personal, the way I see it. vOv

      This is an oversimplification that ignores nuance.

      It’s like saying “everyone dies one day, so whatever symptoms you are experiencing automatically mean you are dying now”.

        Technically, you’d be right though.

        But yes, I ignored nuance. Would you like to talk about nuance?

              Nuance is dead on social media.

              It isn’t that bad, yet, on Lemmy but it gets to the point where people just scream past each other and because of things like default ranking comments by vote instead of a timeline whoever can get/bot the most votes wins and the other person is cast into the oblivion of “Click here to see more comments”.
