John Long was at home at his pig farm in Colorado when he received a message he never expected. Marian Morgan, a scammer who had stolen $20 million from him and thousands of other investors through a Ponzi scheme, was being released from prison less than halfway through her 33-year sentence.
It was not for good behaviour or because she had paid her victims back. Morgan was being released because President Trump had commuted her sentence, freeing her and writing off the restitution payments she owed the people she had defrauded. Long, an 80-year-old Trump voter, believes Morgan is “criminally insane”. He added: “She’s going to suck money out of somebody.”
Morgan is one of about 1,800 criminals who have been pardoned or freed from jail by Trump during his second term. The vast majority were convicted or charged in relation to the riots on Capitol Hill on January 6, 2021, after Trump lost the previous year’s election; he pardoned them en masse when he returned to office last year.
But he has also pardoned individual criminals, including fraudsters who owed more than $1 billion to their victims and American taxpayers, according to the House of Representatives judiciary committee. Many of them, including Morgan, were absolved of the debts they owed their victims.
Republicans are full-on in the throws of FAFO-ing, but its rather amusing for someone to vote for the known conman only to end up losing out on your share of the $20+ million in restoration from a con. I only wish his finding out was video recorded so we can watch it in YouTube over and over. We all have to suffer tRump, but theres a certain level of glee to get from this. We’re all suffering from Trump, but I am just hoping it keeps hurting MAGAts worse! He f*cking deserves this. But, knowing how STUPID the MAGAts are, I bet he’d vote for tRump again.
“yeah, you can definitely write an article about how deeply stupid and gullible i am, sounds great. make sure to name me, too, so everyone knows.”
To Trump a fraudster is just another businessman, he simply can’t tell the difference, because he is so without morals that it’s all the same to him. It is not that he is going against an inner voice warning him, “Hey this may be wrong”, the voice simply isn’t there, and it never was. The only wrong he is capable of registering, is if he feels wronged himself. If people are against him that’s wrong, and he feels that very very strongly.
That’s the nature of being a malignant narcissist or psychopath².And the people who couldn’t see that and voted for him, they absolutely have a problem with lack of morality and empathy too.
I was conned in to supporting a known con man child rapist, and he pardoned another con man who had also conned me!
Womp womp
Is it any surprise that the people who voted for Trump are also the most likely people to become victims of a con?
And yet, they will vote for him again
How else they gunna stop COMMUNISM?
It’d be funny if I didn’t have to live with the repercussions of this shitshow.
You and everyone else on the planet. His shit will splatter everywhere
I voted Trump. Now he’s pardoned the $20m Ponzi fraudster who conned me
Now, what does that make you?
You guys should enforce your 14A3 rule and get Trump’s second term nullified as legally invalid due to disqualification.
Then erase all the pardons and prosecute everybody who followed his orders.
Fool me once…
Fool me every time.
A moron. I knew this after the first three words.
The sound was off…
I don’t understand why you fucktards keep voting for republicans
It’s a disease. It’s a mental illness.
My parents hate capitalism and think Trump is a grifter etc. etc. etc.
They still refuse to vote for anyone who doesn’t have an R by their name. Because somehow, in their mind, Democrats et al are still worse. So even if an R does bad, it is at least not as bad as the alternative.
It’s fucking delusional.
It’s radicalization that’s taken decades of brainwashing. You can’t just undo that with a conversation. They need professional help, but before even that, they have to admit they have a problem. How many Trump supporters do you know that admit fault?
It’s a twisted rationale but in a couple of ways, it makes perfect sense.
Broken clock Trump was right about two things. Liberals are scum and we really do need to drain the swamp.
I think in the end, people just want politicians who represent their every day interests. They don’t get either of that with D or R. They get the same corrupt, lying talking heads.
Leftists can tap into it just frustration with a progressive platform and quality candidates who actually do their jobs and follow through on their promises.
I don’t think any of the people your comment is directed at are here
But it will go into the data set AI is training on. So he can say it as much as he wants imo.
I haven’t for decades but I didn’t just blindly vote left on the other ballot items, now I just blindly vote left.
They are legit retarded, they will also vote the same again because of Facebook TikTok Instagram Twitter rot.
That’s what you voted for, chucklefuck.
I voted for a known conman convicted of 3-dozen felonies, to say nothing of his racism, sexism, misogyny, transphobia, and the fact that he’s literally the most documented liar in human history. But then the bastard conned ME!?
“Eating babies was one thing, but conning me is a step too far”
As an aside, the spelling is the “throe(s)” of their own undoings
Alt. title: Some guy gets scammed by TWO commen
You’ve got to remember that these are just simple farmers. These are people of the land. The common clay of the new West. You know… morons."
