Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --
freeing 19 sharks
Trump pardoning divers for killing 19 sharks I would understand due to Trump's hatred of sharks. But why this???

Ninja edit
I just realized that I was using logic and not Gold-plated Quality Trump Logic. By that logic - freeing the two divers makes perfect sense because the sharks will cause untold suffering, misery, and death. Trump probably thinks every shark in the ocean can grow to be a 25 foot long "killing machine" like the one he saw in Jaws.
He had a change of shark
I also figure that as an exclusively land-dwelling Floridian, he resents those who get in and enjoy the water.
If pics surfaced of Trump in a swimsuit - even some of his hogs would laugh.
Not everyone can pull it off like Mao.
Even the otter in the background is ‘mirin.
Federal prosecutors later charged the men with theft. Officials said the line actually belonged to a fisherman licensed by the National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration to catch sharks for research.
Everyone out here giving Trump the benies of the doubties maybe just for once he cared about animal welfare or supporting our sea comrades in their protracted undersea struggles against the hords of human wave attacks by FloriKKKa against the fishery citizens but no he only did this because something something Biden.
Honestly though even given that, I don’t feel like they should be charged with theft. Give them a slap on the wrist and say “Ask if people have permits first next time”
It’s a minor annoyance, not theft.
This is pure PR so that its harder to find when he did his batshit rant about death by batteries or sharks. This story already fills the search even when I included specifics about his rant.
Good to hear something is finally being done about the biggest issue of our time
