Its about time. They put their lives on the line for democracy

helbell.bsky.social•38 days ago

How about the Vindmans?

palmvegas.bsky.social•37 days ago

Good to see President Biden brought the gun to the knife fight!

lockinnow.bsky.social•38 days ago

Thank you, President Biden.

hersheysquirtz.bsky.social•37 days ago

If Trump did this Olbermann would have an aneurism… what a hypocrite. Sad.

seattlesanta.bsky.social•35 days ago

Some backwoods Senator is comparing Biden's pardons to tRumps pardons of the Insurrectionists.

How twisted the GQP has become.

catladyamy.bsky.social•37 days ago

FINALLY!! At least the "good guys" like Dr. Fauci can retire in peace.

angeleyes4914.bsky.social•37 days ago

Nice! But very sad that this even had to be done!

setio.bsky.social•38 days ago

Today, a convicted felon will become president.

viking4life.bsky.social•37 days ago

Shameful, isn't it? What's worse are the voters who put him there. Never forget, Never forgive.

swansonk20.bsky.social•38 days ago

But what happens now with "preemptive pardons" when this asshole (hopefully) leaves office with all his con men and criminals who FOR SURE should be subject to prosecution after they leave office???? I just want to hibernate 😒

tanzanite68.bsky.social•38 days ago

Like Trump isn't already planning to do just that.....

swansonk20.bsky.social•38 days ago

EXCELLENT. Nothing like waiting until the last possible second.

cavalrysword.bsky.social•37 days ago

All the people tRump had working on the show trials have now had their time wasted. They would have been doing other things contrary to the public interest. The last minute was the right choice.

all-good-here.bsky.social•37 days ago

I really hope that’s true.

7285.bsky.social•37 days ago

I think their lives are worth more than Trumps Shameful proudboys. They should rot in hell!

kalindas5810.bsky.social•38 days ago

Please have a show ready for tomorrow. Lets hear about Grandpa Sharty and how no one watched. I want to hear about how broadcasters like Joe and Mika fawn over his “unity” speech before he gives it. I plan on doing anything besides turning on my tv.

glennobx.bsky.social•38 days ago

No Jack Smith pardon?

Shame.

Just a shame.

tooncescat.bsky.social•37 days ago

He might need to also pardon everyone that didn’t vote for him.

diggle2015.bsky.social•38 days ago

Phuck Trump and his old wrinkled dickskin face

javamav.bsky.social•37 days ago

That was a wasted move by Biden. MAGA doesn’t care a single bit about pardons. It’s not judicial justice they really want. Think bigger. How would Putin handle a situation like this. THIS is what happens when we elect a criminal who wants to be a dictator.

antonvangramberen.bsky.social•38 days ago

I have been bringing up this subject for weeks now. Almost gave up hope. Finally these fine people are safe and won’t have to go through the hassle of spending tons of money to defend themselves from unjust accusations!

panman72.bsky.social•37 days ago

Old sleepy Joe just keeps hitting the orange one

stuadel.bsky.social•38 days ago

Now release the stolen documents information from Jack Smith.................

comtechdiagnostics.bsky.social•37 days ago

Anything to thwart the vindictiveness of Trump!

elliebee5849.bsky.social•38 days ago

Way to go, Joe!

mdrolltide12.bsky.social•38 days ago

I called it. He did it right before he left office, while 45’s minions were salivating over bringing charges. Oops, he took that away! 🤷🏻‍♀️ Presidential acts have immunity. Nothing 45 can do😂😂😂

realmtrombley.bsky.social•38 days ago

I agree. The MAGA pigs were looking forward to ruining these people's lives, just for giggles.

cavalrysword.bsky.social•37 days ago

By doing it at the last minute he made them waste time. Time they would have spent plotting other damage to our country.

Now if he'd resign, make Kamala #47, and ruin all their merch.

clutch131313.bsky.social•37 days ago

What crimes did they commit?

cjmcg1966.bsky.social•38 days ago

Good. I say we all try to stay one step ahead of the buffoon, knock him off his footing and put him on the defensive for a change.

superman55.bsky.social•38 days ago

And not just today, but all throughout the 4 years that piece of vile garbage has.

cjmcg1966.bsky.social•38 days ago

Yes! I would love to see civil suits filed against him by contractors and venues he's ripped off and people he's defamed, congressional bills proposed to prohibit felons from running for office, just to catch him off guard and keep him annoyed and inconvenienced.

loraqs.bsky.social•37 days ago

Fuck--pardon my French--pardons! He should have had the felon arrested 21 January 2021.

juliebardos.bsky.social•38 days ago

That is awesome!

gatormom.bsky.social•38 days ago

@olbermann.bsky.social but not the Vindman’s @natsechobbyist.bsky.social

direwolf54.bsky.social•37 days ago

Why not Vindman?

You KNOW he’s gonna go after him

d-fenddemocracy.bsky.social•38 days ago

Pardons comes with the presumption of guilt.

spikeddoormat.bsky.social•38 days ago

You actually believe MAGA *wants* to find them innocent in the first place? Plus, what actual crimes did they commit?

d-fenddemocracy.bsky.social•38 days ago

Me? Personally?
I don't think any crime was committed by any of those pardoned by Biden.

But...."the Supreme Court's opinion stated that a pardon carries "an imputation of guilt and acceptance of a confession of it,"

spikeddoormat.bsky.social•38 days ago

Same Supreme Council that declared Don Cornholeone immune to prosecution.

It didn't seem to bother the clowns Trump pardoned, like Bannon and Flynn. Being nice and polite is a liability against these clowns, time to get vicious.

jainabledsoe.bsky.social•38 days ago

The rest of America gets "GOOD LUCK" and "Thoughts and Prayers"

aje.bsky.social•37 days ago

Yet Biden said the country would be okay even though these pardons suggest that the incoming president will weaponize the federal government against his opponents. That isn't healthy.

twinkletoesdeluxe.bsky.social•37 days ago

he should've pardoned all trans people too. what a miss. #transrightsarehumanrights

onemisanthrope.bsky.social•38 days ago

But "they did nothing wrong". You stupid people.

frencharoo.bsky.social•38 days ago

Thank you Joe!

jr250.bsky.social•37 days ago

That we have to "pardon" someone like Fauci, that has tirelessly worked for decades for our country, says all we need to know about the next 4 years. Democracy and the rule of law - to say nothing of mental sanity - will break at noon today.

westie2mom.bsky.social•37 days ago

It had to be done. We know these ppl are heros, but Trump would exhaust their money in legal fees just for sport

prisuniversal.bsky.social•38 days ago

This is the way

jonnyskiwaxr.bsky.social•38 days ago

I hope he spends his last few hours handing out pardons like Halloween candy.

piratecafe.bsky.social•38 days ago

Leonard Peltier needs to be pardoned.

bluejayyoung.bsky.social•37 days ago

I hear you. But I think that was very smart of Biden. The point was to get Peltier out of prison and back home. The FBI can't say anything. The universe has changed a small amount for the better. 🪶

baminmacanal.bsky.social•38 days ago

It good he pardon Fauci. Was it for the aids or the covid?

hpgd.bsky.social•38 days ago

Dr Fauci has dedicated his life in the service to others. He's a national hero, and the fact that he needs legal protection is shameful. The idea that this will protect him from those vultures is naive. Laws no longer apply.

justme03055.bsky.social•37 days ago

lmh82.bsky.social•38 days ago

Miller doesn't deserve one, and Biden didn't pardon who he needed to protect the most. Typical cowardly, Biden. Doing just a little, but not enough.

woke-mind.bsky.social•37 days ago

and it really is an American tragedy that President Biden had to pardon innocent people who committed no crime from the incoming fotus.

coaltarbookclub.bsky.social•37 days ago

https://youtu.be/XJU2uwxNRKA?si=6HeLRb9lTYBXOJTN

Bad idea. Only feeds into the idiocy of MAGA. Let a good lawyer defend them and have a Scopes Monkey Trial.

tatum16.bsky.social•38 days ago

Awesome! Should he just blanket pardon all registered democrats in the US? That’d really show Drumph!!!

whereitsat68.bsky.social•37 days ago

Incredibly sad that this was necessary, yet very glad that President Biden did this. These people deserve peace of mind for their loyalty to the country.

peterglass.bsky.social•37 days ago

Apparently, Alexander Vindman didn't get a pardon. Does he flee to Canada now?

whereitsat68.bsky.social•37 days ago

I know 😔

jeniferkayhood.bsky.social•37 days ago

I prefer to think of this as not a pardon but a time and cost saving measure so we can spend our time rebuilding our party and preparing to whup their butts in the midterms.

sabu1919.bsky.social•37 days ago

Maga are freezing their butts off outside today because their leader preferred to keep his diapered ass inside and don’t want them there except for his oligarchs. Felonfk is still banned from doing business in the state of New York.

lkbailey23.bsky.social•38 days ago

Not near enough. He needed to address prosecutors, some Justice Dept staff, Kamala, the list goes on and on.

skrappi.bsky.social•38 days ago

“The issuance of these pardons should not be mistaken as an acknowledgment that any individual engaged in any wrongdoing, nor should acceptance be misconstrued as an admission of guilt for any offense,” Biden said in a statement. “

skrappi.bsky.social•38 days ago

“Our nation owes these public servants a debt of gratitude for their tireless commitment to our country.”

aoc-bluesky.bsky.social•37 days ago

What crimes?

senorgreygoose.bsky.social•38 days ago

Good news indeed, I was hoping he would do this.

sheonabelle.bsky.social•37 days ago

Do all your heros lie to Congress?

Do all your heroes decieve the public?

Do all your heroes have giant portraits of themselves on their office walls?

parodyrose.bsky.social•37 days ago

and yet trans people are left to suffer. he's a cronyist to the last

oldjoe26.bsky.social•37 days ago

Fair

g-man5.bsky.social•37 days ago

What about Col Vindman?? You know he is on the hit list

bkolins.bsky.social•38 days ago

Had to check.
As long as he doesn't give one to fuckwad garland...
I sort of hope Trump does go after garland.
He deserves punishment for screwing us as he did!!

superman55.bsky.social•38 days ago

Me too! I would love to see that myself.

maya-18.bsky.social•37 days ago

Biden's statement: “The issuance of these pardons should not be mistaken as an acknowledgment that any individual engaged in any wrongdoing, nor should acceptance be misconstrued as an admission of guilt for any offense.”

My statement:
I love the smell of pissing off fascists in the morning 😏

spikeddoormat.bsky.social•38 days ago

Nice!

celestemarx.bsky.social•37 days ago

No one can be prepared for Donald's childish need for retribution

celestemarx.bsky.social•37 days ago

We know DonOLD will still try to go after them. How best to protect ?

tcooperlaw.bsky.social•37 days ago

He should have released Volume 2 to the public

allyhartwell.bsky.social•37 days ago

peterglass.bsky.social•37 days ago

I've heard that Alexander Vindman didn't get a pardon. That leaves him very vulnerable.

knollie.bsky.social•38 days ago

This is horrific.

Preemptive pardons- which are on shaky legal ground in the first place- throw the door wide open for corruption at the federal level.

Tr*mp's minions will perform any illegal act he wants without fear of prosecution.

tanzanite68.bsky.social•38 days ago

Get your head out of the sand. JFC

realmtrombley.bsky.social•38 days ago

They were going to do that anyway.
Time to grow up Adam.

knollie.bsky.social•37 days ago

Tell me you don't understand a wider perspective without telling me.

realmtrombley.bsky.social•37 days ago

Sorry, I don't speak idiot.

vicjim.bsky.social•37 days ago

President Biden is so much smarter than🍊

timeinvariancex.bsky.social•37 days ago

If they didn't do anything wrong, they would have nothing to fear as they would not be convicted in the court of law.

They will be investigated, they will be exposed for their crimes, they don't need to go to trial for Trump and his administration to achieve this.

They are guilty, no other reason

fickdich.bsky.social•38 days ago

Unfortunate that this has to happen, but good!

marshmaddness.bsky.social•38 days ago

thank you Mr. President.

kalinfl.bsky.social•37 days ago

Sounds like an admission there is at least some guilt on each of these people.
