This wasn’t some fringe internet talk, this was a real, organized domestic terrorism plot. It involved 14 men, including members of a militia group called the Wolverine Watchmen, who were motivated by opposition to Whitmer’s COVID-19 restrictions.
They held weapons training, built explosives, and conducted armed surveillance on Whitmer’s vacation home. They even discussed blowing up a bridge to slow down police response.
The FBI infiltrated the group with informants and arrested the suspects before they could act. Two of the ringleaders, Adam Fox and Barry Croft Jr., were convicted of conspiracy to kidnap and conspiracy to use weapons of mass destruction.
This is just one more example of how little trump believes in the authority of the government ! His disrespect for the office of the presidency is shown almost daily! Selling Teslas on the White House’s lawn or his bit coins deals! Taking a USED JET, that had been for sale but no wanted it!
The party of Law & Order pardoning those who attack (or plan to attack) political opponents for political reasons is tantamount to terrorism. The POTUS swore to defend America against both foreign and domestic terrorists.
Imagine being such a petty little bitch that you decide you are going to do some psychotic terrorist bs because we are in a pandemic and everyone needs to wear masks to protect themselves and others, and we all need to stay home for a bit.
Giving aid and comfort to traitors yet again, for the umpteenth time. That alone is enough to remove him and bar him from ever holding any political office. Enough is enough already
Smart state 😊
Here is the list of charges, convictions & state sentences. Sentences for some of the multiple charge convictions will be served consecutively.
“The President of the United States does not have the authority to pardon crimes committed under state law. Federal pardons only apply to federal offenses, not state or local ones.”
This motherfucker sends innocent people who are here legally away to be tortured and keeps pardoning the biggest pieces of shit on the planet! When are people going to say enough!
Just another way to manipulate idiots into committing crimes for him. They'll be convinced they won't be punished. Too short-sighted to realize if their target puts a bullet in them, a presidential pardon won't mean anything.
So Trump protects our own criminals from foreign criminals. Cheaters, kidnappers, insurrectionists, tax evaders, rapists…as long as they are US citizens and pay homage to him…Trump wants them free and here in the UsA
This is the Christofascist/Project 2025 administration saying it’s okay to attack Democrats. I wonder if they’re hoping people fight back and they get to declare a national emergency and roll out the tanks.
Trump, a crook, likes the company of criminals and second rate celebrities like himself. And forces them to be grateful by pardoning them. Wonder what future price they will pay!
He is reinforcing his stochastic terrorism by announcing that anyone doing crime - including kidnapping or murder - in support of his illegal regime will face no consequences.
So what are they NOT drawing attention to? Senate voting on the BiG B Bill? Or something else? Is the SAVE Act getting another look/vote? For him to talk about this, something big is being ignored. Anyone know?
My guess would be the myriad of constitutional rights the GOP wants to take away! Like-no more voting. No more Congress. No more Senate. No Supreme Court of the United States. Buried in that Big Bad Bill are these things and more all designed to destroy our nation even more. To control the masses.
Or outright eliminated. Giving the executive unlimited authority to override the courts on a whim is something Kings do, it should never have been a power of Presidents.
States need to start stepping up and convicting these criminals on a state level. Trump can be easily bought. He would have pardoned Epstein for a ham sandwich.
Pre-trump, communities often relied on the feds. Fed penalties are greater, feds have more $$ for complex cases & diff laws to use.
States can bring separate charges. MI did.
Some rec’d consecutive sentences. Instead of serving them at the same time, those sentences are served one after the other.
That's hilarious! Serves her right for pandering to Trump. Is she this clueless? Trump always uses people to his advantage. She should have known better.
That's going to be hard to explain how these guys are patriots. Then again, MAGA won't question Trump until these guys commit more crimes once they are out.
Trump said he watched the trial! That’s a lie because it was not televised! Trump let the traitors from Jan.6 off! It would not surprise me if he pardons them! I am sure MAGAHATS would approve!
He needs every criminal he can get if he wants to protect himself. Like Putin releasing criminals to fight his war, the orange anus faced turd is going to use these criminals to come to his defense when the time comes for him to be prosecuting for his crimes against this country.
Agreed - big time. A private army loyal only to him. But would guess many are blowhard wimps who love hurting people and defying the Constitution they hate so much. They would cower and whine in the face of a real American - man or woman.
😜 Sorry. Yes they are. Delusional losers with no grasp of reality may cause some trouble but they're a bunch of hate-filled, drunken, fat, out of shape morons who like to cos-play at being some kind of bad ass. A few might actually be but they are few.
Remember the Game, The Straw The Broke the Camel's Back? This is one Huge Straw! We all need to Stand be Brave! How long shall that Felon make a Mockery of Justice and our Legal System?
Someone needs to point out, very loudly & repeatedly, that if he is going to say things like this, it means that anyone is free to take lethal potshots @ him b/c there is nothing to deter that sort of behavior anymore. There is no 'oops' w/regards to this level of prep. Prison or potshots, POS.
But hey:
“In a surprising twist, the Trump administration has officially added its first animal to the endangered species list: a Nevada fish on the brink of extinction called the Fish Lake Valley tui chub.”
Minds well release a bunch of people found guilty of threatening to kill Whitmer. Tell everybody where and when they will be released so we can defend ourselves from killers please.
And she just went through hell for visiting on behalf of her state- hmmmmm…doesn’t seem to have helped - that’s truly disgusting and dangerous with these pardons
Merrick Garland was Trump’s protector. Look what Garland has wrought. Anyone else as AG would have prosecuted Trump to the full extent of the law for the Jan 6 insurrection right away. Not wait years. Biden really messed up choosing Garland. Because of Merrick Garland we now live under fascism.
He should have already been on the Supreme Court. He is a judge at heart, not an aggressive prosecutor (unfortunate for America). But Moscow Mitch had his own racist agenda.
He's setting it up so all the extreme right militia groups will be at his beck and call to do whatever he suggests. As usual, he only has to hint and they'll act on it. If they know he'll pardon them, they'll do anything he wants, 'cuz this is what they love to do ~ bully, threaten, terrorize. Kill.
well of course, magaland is a criminal enterprise run by and for criminals, America is gone, this is magaland where glorious orange god king has always been our leader, and we have always been at war with Eurasia
Just wondering if she got literally anything out of this yet? Elected Dems, do not follow down this path. You will gain absolutely nothing other than the loss of respect and likely the end of your political career. I'd rather kiss King Midas himself than kiss that man's ring.
tRump is a literal CRIMINAL! He is an absolute disgrace. Pardoning terrorists! Convicted terrorists! Yet calling college students terrorists for protesting? #CongressIsInept
What more do you need? Donald Trump, being a criminal himself joins with others to promote why they were adjudicated in the first place. It's like his gangs, the Proud Boys, and or the Oath Keepers, he and they almost succeeded in the first successful insurrection that we have been betrayed with.
He is reinforcing his stochastic terrorism by announcing that anyone doing crime - including kidnapping or murder - in support of his illegal regime will face no consequences.

This wasn’t a protest. It was a violent plot to overthrow government authority and now Trump is openly talking about letting them go free.
That’s unbelievable
We are under attack.

A pardon would send a single that Trump will "rescue" those who attack his opponents and violence towards the left is ok.
Mind blowing stupidity.
Here is the list of charges, convictions & state sentences. Sentences for some of the multiple charge convictions will be served consecutively.
Hope they like Oaks correctional facility.

Timothy Snyder, “The Next Terrorist Attack”
So long as it's violence directed at Dems or the left you get a free pass.
Trump has always been obsessed with knocking her down. He is utterly ridiculous
I have faith that this time she will rise above as she always does
The Presidential Pardon needs to be heavily restricted, as it stands it's a blank check for the President to sanction any and all crimes he likes.
States can bring separate charges. MI did.
Some rec’d consecutive sentences. Instead of serving them at the same time, those sentences are served one after the other.
he will pardon all those who commit crimes on his behalf
Which he is & deserves.
“In a surprising twist, the Trump administration has officially added its first animal to the endangered species list: a Nevada fish on the brink of extinction called the Fish Lake Valley tui chub.”
Of course it would have a name like that.

Those fools should stay in jail where they belong
Your vote mattered. they are not respecting us... they are afraid that their citizens will be sent to concentration camps.
Even Germany thinks it is 1939 Germany. Congratulations.

pardon all white men in prison? Leaving “real criminals” aka women, and non-white people in jail.
Then he could golf more.
How much for Luigi?
