    Hahaha, you think a gay dude’s getting one of Trump’s golden tickets for US citizenship? I mean come on, has he even raped any women? Remember, trans ones don’t count!

      i absolutely hate this, and at the same time, you’re entirely on point here. it’s beginning to feel a lot like sex crimes are a rite of passage to the new regime, bonus points if it’s a hate crime directed at a trans person

      Very possibly, if you can get him in the same room as Trump and he does a good enough job of brown nosing.

      The Donald is a notorious queen, loves Broadway, loves gay culture and appropriates it with abandon, and would happily make a pageant of granting clemency to Joe Exotic’s husband if he was in his 2020 celebrity heyday rather than the dustbin of Netflix history.

      I mean come on, has he even raped any women?

      Given the guy’s history… I’m not counting it out.

    Remember how last time Trump won he ordered a chauffeur to pull up to the prison because he was sure Trump would pardon him? This guys loves the leopard buffet.

    tiger eats face too.

    joke aside, I think this plays right into trumps hand, and establishing the narrative quite well: mass deportation is happening across the board, and you may get some mercy only if you beg the king.

        Wait. I’m French so this made my brain fry.

        In the US prisoners have their constitutional rights removed?

          You have to remember that the US is an advanced, enlightened liberal democracy…. By the standards of the late 18th Century. They spent too much time fetishising their founders and never really grew up with the rest of the Western world.

          Yup! In America convicted felons are not allowed to vote in federal elections and depending on the law of the state they are not allowed to vote in state or municipal elections either. As a result of these policies a disproportionate amount of black and Latino communities have had their right to vote stripped away.

            I checked it out and about 4.4 million US citizens cannot vote (excluding the real 51st state: Puerto-Rico) including 1/19 blacks. That’s crazy, it’s as if the country is setup for a one party system from the get go. You don’t need huge prisoner cohorts to make the 3% difference needed for you to remain in power while maintaining an illusion of democracy.

              This was by design and started shortly after the civil war. During reconstruction when the South was effectively occupied there was a decade or so where it looked like black people might actually enjoy some enfranchisement. But then the dirty compromise happened and Jim Crow took over. Suddenly black people were going to jail for the most minor infractions, and if they couldn’t get them to break the law, they just lied and said they did anyway.

    These people never seem to realize that maybe he was the baddie after all and instead try leaning into it even harder in some attempt to appease him. It’s frustrating how frequently this happens.
