    I agree that Trump doesn’t care about the fentanyl issue. If he did, he’d be ending the war on drugs.

    I would like to point out, Ross Ulbricht was sentenced for running a website, to double life plus 40 years in prison without possibility of parole. It was a bullshit sentence that came at the end of a trial of questionable integrity. The fact that neither Obama or Biden pardoned him is one more embarrassment for the Democrats.

      He was not sentenced for running a website, holy shit man. He paid to have people killed and in at least one case believed it happened (it didn’t, the hitmen were all scammers or law enforcement)

      Let’s not paint a rosy picture of Ross Ulbrecht here.

      “Sir I did not bring in tons of cocaine across the border, I only drove a boat”. Is essentially your argument.

      Now I’m not against what the silk road was initially supposed to be, but this guy took it to a whole new level of fucked.
