If you haven't you should. Not avoiding the question just not looking to get in a big talk fest about it. Either you concur or you do not.  OK here's a few.  Notable examples include: January 6th Rioters &amp; Extremists: Trump pardoned approximately 1,500 individuals involved in the January 6, 2021 attack on the U.S. Capitol, including members of the Proud Boys like Enrique Tarrio and Oath Keepers who had been convicted of crimes ranging from seditious conspiracy to assaulting police officers.  Political Subversion &amp; Abuse of Power: Trump pardoned former New York City Police Commissioner Bernard Kerik - tax fraud , former Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich - corruption and trying to sell a Senate seat, and several key allies and aides tied to election interference and the plot to overturn the 2020 election. Fraud &amp; Financial Crimes: Trump has granted clemency to several high-profile white-collar criminals. Examples include reality TV stars Julie and Todd Chrisley - bank fraud and tax evasion, as well as disgraced financier Michael Milken - securities fraud. [1, 2] Campaign &amp; Administration Aides: Trump pardoned former campaign aides and advisors—including George Papadopoulos - lying to the FBI —who were convicted as part of various federal investigations.  Other Controversial Figures: Pardons were also granted to figures like Lev Levandowski - stealing trade secrets - and former Trump supporter Michele Fiore - embezzlement.  A couple more shockers: Julio Herrera Velutini: In January 2026, Donald Trump pardoned Julio Herrera Velutini, an Italian-Venezuelan billionaire banker who had been indicted on federal fraud, bribery, and foreign election interference charges. His daughter, Isabel Herrera, donated $3.5 million to a pro-Trump super PAC (MAGA Inc.) across late 2024 and mid-2025.  Paul Walczak: In April 2025, Trump granted a full pardon to Paul Walczak, a convicted tax criminal who withheld over $10 million in employee paychecks to fund a lavish lifestyle. His pardon was granted shortly after his mother - attended a $1 million-per-person fundraiser at Mar-a-Lago and contributed $1 million to a pro-Trump super PAC. The pardon wiped out the $4.4 million in restitution he owed to his victims.]]></description><pubDate>Sat, 30 May 2026 12:59:35 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Trump Weighs Final Approval on Iran Ceasefire Deal</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1395689-trump-weighs-final-approval-on-iran-ceasefire-deal/?do=findComment&comment=20530430]]></link><description>I've pointed this out to him before with sourced information.

This is a thread about Biden's pardon is it not?  And did I not just say: it's a banana republic when a president - any president - can unilaterally pardon people.  Automatically defending the Trump. Mine was an objective comment about any president having that right. It's banana republic stuff. I didn't even mention the orange one.

Wow, this guy has wild ideas.  Regarding the need for Jews to have their own state ... Palestinians shouldn't be paying for the Holocaust. So regarding a Jewish state, Germany should give the Jews part of their country to make reparations for the Holocaust. Or the US should give part of Florida or California or Alaska to the Jews.  So he is a Rabbi / ultra religious Jew, but does not believe Jews necessarily need to be in that part of the world ???</description><pubDate>Sat, 30 May 2026 12:55:41 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Trump's losses keep mounting</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1395722-trumps-losses-keep-mounting/?do=findComment&comment=20530425]]></link><description>Really?

Iran&#x2019;s jump to 60% enriched uranium had little to do with producing Tc-99m for medical use. Medical isotope production can be done with low-enriched uranium (typically under 20%), and Iran&#x2019;s domestic needs would require only a tiny fraction of the hundreds of kilograms they stockpiled at 60%.  Experts across the board view the 60% enrichment as a clear step toward weapons-grade material (90%), since it represents roughly 90% of the work needed for bomb fuel. The medical isotope argument is widely regarded as a weak cover story.  Contrary to the claim that Iran is &#x201C;years away,&#x201D; it was a nuclear threshold state before the recent strikes.  With its 60% stockpile, Iran could produce enough weapons-grade uranium for one or more bombs in a matter of days to weeks.  Weaponization (designing a functional warhead) and delivery via existing medium-range missiles (which already have sufficient payload capacity) could be achieved in months to a year, not 2+ years. Iran has also conducted research on neutron initiators. This is why the U.S. and Israel viewed the threat as urgent and acted &#x2014; Iran was much closer to a nuclear breakout capability than the multi-year timeline suggests.</description><pubDate>Sat, 30 May 2026 12:55:21 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Somethings Wrong.</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1395036-somethings-wrong/?do=findComment&comment=20530422]]></link><description>Okey dokey. When I respond I usually respond with counter arguments and links, as we are supposed to. You never do the same, you just flounce and go on the attack, telling people they are not welcome or to "f.o.". Classy.  You are welcome to disagree and explain why and - ideally - provide links to support that. But you never do.   If I was actually disrupting the forum - rather than just pointing out why I disagree with a claim - then the mods would take action. Weird they never have. And I seem to have a pretty decent rating judging by the stats as far as I can tell - not that I care about that stuff or emojis.   I'd love to know who these others are because nobody else has ever said anything like that. Are they perhaps called MarraBarra?

Israel shouldn't exist. Zionists are not following the Torah. 95% of Rabbis are non-Zionists. 65% of Rabbis are anti-Zionist.   He talks about how Jews were exiled by God. But the Torah says they need to wait for the return of the Messiah before going back to the Holy land, not the other way around.  So the creation of Israel is a rebellion against God which will never succeed. It will come to an end. They are not following the script in the Torah.  Rabbis are waiting and praying for the dismantlement of Israel.  Wow !! Mind blown.</description><pubDate>Sat, 30 May 2026 12:45:49 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Thailand Visa Cut Sparks Tourism Debate</title><link><![CDATA[https://aseannow.com/topic/1395691-thailand-visa-cut-sparks-tourism-debate/?do=findComment&comment=20530408]]></link><description>This is a really stupid comment from someone who clearly isn't living in Thailand on a long-term visa.
