Worse; you could buy people from the silk road. Wives, children, ~~nanny's~~ slaves... Along with military equipment, drugs ofc, stolen goods, and pretty much anything illegal that has a buyer.
Had a friend that liked buying drugs there, and would send me screenshots of some of the insane ads he found. He was pissed when it got shut down, and moved to a market called 'Agora'.
Broke off that friendship quite a while ago and haven't heard about it since. Not really my scene...
Trump: *word-farts some demented rapist bullshit as per usual*
Corporate News: Well actually it turns out his actions point to this being a false claim . . .
People for whom this is somehow still news: We told you so!
Me:
Does trump know that it's HIS border agency that catches stuff going in?
As much as I hate Trump, I don't think this is the "gotcha" it is being portraied as by this tweet. Silk Road was one of the best things to happen for the "safer use" movement of all time. The ability to not have to deal with shady street dealers and order from darknet suppliers on a platform that had legitimate reviews and an escrow system was a huge improvement to the safety of drugs users. It meant a much lower risk of contaminated drugs or getting scammed out of your money.
Of course Ross allegedly also attempted to hire a hitman, which is how he got caught, cause the hitman was an undercover agent, so he allegedly is not a good guy regardless of how you think about him helping people get access to cleaner drugs, but that's besides the point the author of the tweet is trying to make
People died from overdoses not to mention lots more ruined lives. I get you like the idea of drugs that are safer to order but that does not make it a good thing.
Also lots of child pornography, murder for hire, human trafficking, and all kinds of other shitty things took place. So yeah, not exactly a good thing.
There are about 3000 and three other pardons that were way worse
He does like the word tremendous, also weak border policie with who? USA?!?
This is even more preposterous when you realize trump's boys are presently organizing Florida into the cocaine/meth distribution point for Latin America. They have a mob boss for a dad. Mobsters like the money drugs bring in. Expect trump to make ALL drugs illegal again - even medical marijuana. Mobsters make lots more money off illegal drugs than legal ones (except for the mob owned pharmaceutical companies - I think we've all seen their pricing in action... $400 dollars for a drug that costs $5 to make (looking at YOU, insulin).
