In what may be an American first, President Donald Trump pardoned a company sentenced to $100 million in fines for breaking money laundering laws.

This is some serious unprecedented bullshit. Especially when their charge was money laundering. Basically he is making money laundering legal. Go ahead and break the law. Trump will pardon you…

      Well, except criminal court where sentencing is a joke because no human is held accountable.

      Kill a bunch of people? That’ll be a fine you pass on to your customers.

      I refuse to parrot the phrase “corporations are people” unless I’m being clearly sarcastic, or add, “the shitty US supreme court has incorrectly ruled that” beforehand.
