Trump voters heartbroken as he pardons crook who scammed them of millions
4 days ago by spaghettiwestern to c/leopardsatemyface
The Times UK reports Colorado pig farmer John Long was at home when he got the message that Marian Morgan, a scammer who robbed $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 behavior or because she had paid her victims back,” reports the Times. “Morgan was being released because President Trump had commuted her sentence.”
This, reports the Ties, also released the convicted scammer from the restitution payments she owed her victims.
Long, an 80-year-old Trump voter, called the newly freed Morgan “criminally insane,” and warned she’s only “going to suck money out of somebody” else.
They've moved from, "I've got mine. Fuck you!" to "I had mine and Trump screwed me over so feel sorry for me. Fuck you anyway!"
they do have one, its just all black hearted.

what a coincidence the pedophile in charge is also 80.
Every article about him should use this image:
With the caption "Known pedophile and POTUS, Donnie trump".
Can we also use this one for Wikipedia please

Poor leopards must be suffering from obesity at this point.

The victims should sue in court. There is a line in the constitution about no civil trial being re-examined or retried by any court. Idk how that works with judges cancelling or reducing judgements from juries but the president doesn't have the authority to cancel a civil verdict, no one does, other than the judges upstream.
I'll have to find the source but I read that Trump has pardoned a number of fraud convicts whose criminal incomes, stolen from the American public, collectively total over one billion dollars... so only 50 times what this bitch did, already pardoned.
They'll still vote for him.
You get what you voted for so cry me a fucking river!
He's got that dementia grin.
"he's not hurting the right people"
The victim, like others, was contacted by Morgan and her co-conspirators in 2006, who purported to be an exclusive group of financial advisers with an opportunity to invest money in Europe with huge returns within months at low risk.
Greedy and dumb, just like his Beloved Leader.
It's obviously not as many as it should be, but let him keep chipping away at his support. Some of them are brainwashed, some of them are just slow, so it will take time but eventually they'll come to the conclusion on their own where it all leads.
Yeah these people all "hate" him, but they'll vote for him 1000x times before they vote for the Communist Democrats with their crazy healthcare for all and whatever else.
I wish the Democrats were even 1% as based as Republicans think they are.
I didn’t know that they had hearts to break. lol oh well, fuck ‘em. 😊
Crazy he can pardon them not only from jail but also from having to payback the victims? Wild lol
Every time I see a new Trump pardon I wonder what it would be like if a dem ran for president promising to pardon Luigi
Well, not gonna happen. Because capitalism.
A man can dream
"but but but! he said he'd work for me!"
Long, an 80-year-old Trump voter, called the newly freed Morgan “criminally insane,” and warned she’s only “going to suck money out of somebody” else.
See, that's why we need gendered pronouns. If Long hadn't said, "she," I would have totally thought he was talking about Trump.

I call bullshit. One has to have a heart before it can be broken. Their angry stupid is just vaguely focused on themselves, like a particularly stupid dog angry at its own tail.
