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.

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.

A hunger stone (German: Hungerstein) is a type of hydrological landmark common in Central Europe.

These stones were carved during droughts to mark the water level as a warning to future generations that they will have to endure famine-related hardships if the water sinks to this level again. One famous example in the Elbe river in Děčín, Czech Republic, has "Wenn du mich siehst, dann weine" ("If you see me, then weep") carved into it as a warning.[1]

The pantry cleanup continues with baked potatoes as the whole meal. This started with pierced potatoes slathered in bacon grease and salt and moving the air fryer outside so I wasn't heating up the house.

Butter, sour cream, bacon I canned a few years ago, cheddar, jalapeno stuffed olives, green onion chives from the garden.

Cost per person, $1.60

Safer for pedestrians, in the nihilistic sense that they at least won't survive the hit I guess?

Boomers who'd rather pay $120 for a tank of gas and drive 30 minutes from the suburbs to go yell at some wage slave at Costco are a death cult.

Presumably I'd at least end up on a list from this post, or if I already am on there, they'd add an underline.
