Removing the prescription drug protections for Medicare seems to be at odds with this promise. Potential to open the door for big increases

13. No changes to SS or Medicare plans

In May 2022, the Libertarian Republican Congressman Thomas Massie called for a commutation of Ulbricht's conviction.[69] The libertarian-oriented Reason Foundation attempted to raise funds, citing Ulbricht's case,[70] without taking any legal action, and 2020 Libertarian Party presidential candidate Jo Jorgensen made a campaign pledge to pardon Ulbricht.[71]

In May 2024, candidate Donald Trump said that if re-elected President, he would commute Ulbricht's sentence on his first day in office.[72][73] In June 2024, presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. made a similar promise to pardon Ulbricht, if elected.[74] Wired magazine, reporting from a 2024 Bitcoin conference in Nashville, said that clemency for Ulbricht had become a single-issue voting concern among many cryptocurrency supporters.[75] In the November 2024 issue of Reason magazine, the 2024 Libertarian nominee for president, Chase Oliver, said, "I would like to see [Trump], if he were elected, commute Ross Ulbricht's sentence. Frankly, if I were president, I would give him a full pardon."[76]

In October 2013, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) arrested Ulbricht and took Silk Road offline. In 2015, he was convicted of engaging in a continuing criminal enterprise, distributing narcotics, distributing narcotics by means of the internet, conspiracy to distribute narcotics, conspiracy to commit money laundering, conspiracy to traffic fraudulent identity documents, and conspiracy to commit computer hacking.[7][8] He was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole. Ulbricht's appeals to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit in 2017 and the U.S. Supreme Court in 2018 were unsuccessful.[9][10][11]


He was selling drugs on line through an anonymous internet trick to defeat any tracking and was found by a district court to have committed various murders of people who might have disclosed it.

Sounds like a stand up guy.

You don't think it matters ? What he did ? Seems to me most law and order conservatives would be appalled by Trump keeping this promise.

You want us to be appalled that he kept a promise he made?

If it were that big of a deal to us, we would have voted for Kamala, left our party, declared we were now “Independent” and foolishly changed our Avi.

I don’t like everything he does. But I’m not gonna hammer the guy for keeping a campaign promise he made.

That almost seems unbelievable. Also, His mom must be really something if she can get to presidential candidates to commit to giving him a pardon.

We can be appalled that he made a promise like that. If we are SO appalled, we can choose to vote for another candidate. Or don’t vote in protest.

But it’s silly to be pissed at him because he did something he said he was gonna do.

In fairness it wasn't until he issued the pardons that he made it clear people who committed violence would get a pardon. Vance even said they would not. So it is a step further then what he campaigned on. Actually he heavily implied he would separate the two:

"If somebody was evil and bad, I would look at that differently," Trump added in his interview with Time.

I was specifically referring to the pardon of Ross Ulbricht in my post. Otherwise I agree.
