Man, it sure is a great time to be a sex offender. You're practically guaranteed to get a pass, with this guy in office.

The question is how much TrumpCoin does it cost to get one?

I love Lemmy. Big enough to have enough content, not big enough for things to get lost. Earlier today I saw the message where Released pedo files No Release the pedophiles

As much as Trump sucks, I would be shocked if he pardons Combs. It's not like child rapists have some sort of brotherhood pact, and despite what many people want to believe, MAGA does indeed hate pedophiles too, they just have a blind spot for Trump. That blind spot is largely helped by the fact Trump is white. MAGA is pretty united on Combs being a child molester, because it doesn't threaten their worldview for a rich black man to be evil. Trump pardoning Combs would just make it too easy to connect the dots. And again, Trump doesn't give a shit about anyone but himself. The only way Combs gets a pardon is if he has some sort of incriminating Trump videos, which isn't entirely impossible, but doesn't strike me as likely either.

Pardons are openly for sale

Spot on. Pardoning Combs does not profit Trump a bit, can only hurt him. No chance.
