 Everyone is so sure trump is gonna pardon Ross. 

I'll bet up to 5 people, 1M sats each that it doesn't happen during his term, if he is elected. 

He is no different then any other politician just telling you what you want to hear.

I'll gladly take them off your hands.  
 that’s my base case as well so I’ll keep my sats ty 
 I'll bet 100,000 because I'm only 60/40 confident he will. Deal? 
 Sure. 🤝 
 Hold up.
Do it legit. Don’t make promises cuz I’ve seen too many fuckers dodge and run 
 You ain't gotta worry about me. I ain't going anywhere. 
I'm here people know me.

Save the note ID that's what I'm doing. 

I can taste the sats already.  
 👀 
 It’s your fault if he doesn’t own up in case of loss  
 I will gladly do whatever anyone wants to do regarding this. We can do DLC. Do mofos even know how to do DLCs?
Who wants to be oracle? 
 Okay. I've read all this. I trust False. He's not going to rug. 
 utxo on the other hand 🧐 
 What you want me to make a DLC and run an oracle. Fuck that.

Be a man and stand by your deals. 

 
 Relax I was just suggesting. I guess yall agree that’s cool of course 
 Sorry about that I was feeling a type of way yesterday, didn't mean for  you to catch that.

My bad  
 This is an easy cleanup for you.

 Day one?
Oh easy peasy good looking out.  
 2% finders fee sir? 
 Well the winner should pay it no? 
 Maybe thooo 
 Nvm I'm an idiot. Here's a zap tho 
 Zapped  
 Wait you mean he's just luring in votes with fake promises??! THAT DOESNT SOUND LIKE YRUMP AT ALL 
 It actually doesnt sound like him. 
Cite examples. 
 I agree.  
I want to believe that hes in on btc and believes what hes been told but had work to do. 
I think Ross is too much political fallout and he’ll retract. 
 I don’t see the  we political cost. I think he stands to gain more by doing it than not doing it. 
 The political cost is being painted as weak and soft on crime for freeing someone whose enabled millions of dollars in drug trafficking.
plenty of risk.

its the political gain that's lacking.
theres what, maybe 30k libertarians who care? 
 Yes but we care a LOT and we’re loud. The demographic who categorically demonizes drugs without nuance in their argument is shrinking. 
 thats true.
but theres no good way to spin #freeross for political gain. we are enough of a demographic for him to show up and ramble, do his schtick for two hours and make some promises.

not enough to actually take on political risk.

DJT is busy making inroads with Israel, Elon and other big players. *that's* the priority and he's not going to do anything to endanger those relationships. 
 I'll take that bet.  
 BEAU tiful

Keep this note ID. Cause I will be.   
 Digital proverbial handshake? 🤝 
 🤝 
 Just bookmarked... I'll be back from that. 😉😎 
 He helped Kodak… 
 Not so convicted as that, personally. I think you have a point. Rhetoric is just that. But what an ugly business it would be to toy with the man and his family in that way. I hope he wins so we can find out for sure. 
 Stack those cheap sats bud! 
 this is correct.

plenty of political downside to freeing Ross.
very little upside. 
 I heard he’s gonna bring Peanut back to life and give him a lifetime supply of free-range nuts 
 I disagree with you.   @Mandrik, here's some easy money for you.  :) 
 Let's get it

 he built the wall tho 
 I don't want your money, but I'll add another 1M to nostr:nprofile1qqs8suecw4luyht9ekff89x4uacneapk8r5dyk0gmn6uwwurf6u9ruspzpmhxue69uhkumewwd68ytnrwghszxthwden5te0wfjkccte9eekummjwsh8xmmrd9skctcpz4mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduhs2juazd on top of the 25M I already pledged if Trump doesn't Free Ross.

 WILL YOU ADMIT IT IF YOU ARE PROVEN WRONG? 
 I'll have to pay up, absolutely. 
 I take this bet. 1M. 🤝 
 Will repost and confirm with bettors  
 I hope I am wrong. But I'm putting my sats where my mouth is.
