Over the last year, President Trump pardoned dozens of criminals.
Combined, they were ordered to pay hundreds of millions of dollars in fines and restitution.
Trump let them off the hook.
Nothing says cracking down on crime like letting criminals run free.

I've recovered a cache of documents and videos from the pre-production phase of Project Apollo, a canceled Batman game Monolith worked on for Warner Bros.
The materials, from 4/2009 to 1/2010, were in deleted sectors of a HDD used at a game company.

It's so weird how they cut Caleb's hair when literally everyone else has various hairstyles of various lengths! Also, so far I've noticed that all men outside the Klingon officer have short hair... This is so weird for a Star Trek show that is supposed to celebrate diversity
I just watched the first episode of #StarfleetAcademy, and I don't care for it so far. Notably, why has it taken until the 32nd century for the first photonic student, and why did they get Caleb's hair against his will‽‽

OK, I just finally watched #Marvel #Thunderbolts, and WTF? That was really good!! I heard so little about it when it came out, and I assumed it was just another in that streak of not-incredibly-great Marvel movies, and now I am disappointed I went to see those and not this one!
