I can’t believe Chauvin wants this. He worked out a deal with the feds that allows him to serve his state sentence concurrently with his federal sentence in a federal prison. Trump can only pardon him for the federal offenses. As a result, a federal pardon …

Reposted from Wajahat Ali

The right now wants to pardon Officer Chauvin who was convicted of killing George Floyd. Chauvin had his knee on his neck for 9 minutes and 29 seconds. This led to the biggest protests this country has ever seen.

Trump wants this so he can violently crack down & declare Martial Law.

It's not about what Chauvin wants. The 2025 agenda demands a pretext to declare Martial Law. That's why they've been so aggressively, and publicly, breaking stuff. They NEED that pretense to keep moving forward.

It really is and hardly being discussed at all, by anyone. I think it fits together based on convenience -- if a group will help push it forward, then they are useful and used. And discarded when no longer needed.

I believe there are some sub-agendas at play, but ultimately, there is only one driving vision and plan. It originates with Yarvin, supported by Thiel, with Musk acting as a cheerleader, Vance as a promoter, and Trump bringing it all together into a single, cohesive package.

Even though he got severely attacked in Federal prison, wouldn't you want to still be in "Club Fed" than a State prison?!?

swdrp4life.bsky.social•2 days ago

He would likely end up in administrative segregation for housing (restrictive housing, solitary, the hole) for his safety. He should have to endure in general population but prison officials will probably nix that option.

realhesterprynne.bsky.social•1 day ago

He'd end up at Oak Park Heights in MN, home to the worst of the worst in the entire upper Midwest. Probably b/c he'd have a better chance of surviving there than Stillwater State Prison: OPH is designed to control dangerous felons, Stillwater is much more of a free-for-all.

Wow. This eases so much anxiety.

thebiggietall.bsky.social•2 days ago

…and if we follow form, Trump will threaten to withhold federal funds from MN unless Chauvin also gets a state pardon from Trump’s former opponents VP candidate, Gov Tim Walz. Perfect play for Trump

larryhicok.bsky.social•2 days ago

Do you think Trump understands this? Do you think a guy who slowly killed someone by applying his leg to his neck until he was dead understands this? Trump probably supplied his lawyer.
Chaotic incompetence now!

jotg83.bsky.social•2 days ago

Even more lame that the racists are asking for a pardon.

whoszoomingwho.bsky.social•2 days ago

Just like trump releasing the water in California, if this catches his attention he might do it.

smokecityfc.bsky.social•2 days ago

Do you think Trump and his legion of buffoons really cares what Chauvin wants?

debbmatt.bsky.social•2 days ago

People wouldn’t look at it that way. They would only see it as he was pardoned. It would cause huge protests that would allow Trump to declare marshall law to shut the protests down. Exactly what he wants. That’s the reason and the plan

maliwaka.bsky.social•2 days ago

oops. thats too bad.

ryanmichael80.bsky.social•2 days ago

He deserves to rot in there.

aronjmarks.bsky.social•2 days ago

They’re not really even talking about that here in MN (the deal worked out to spend his time in federal prison) on the news.

silkstillspeaking.bsky.social•2 days ago

George, George, George. We’re dealing w/ a felon president who has put a spell on the GOP & placed 2 thugs as head of the FBI. If Trump wants to release Chauvin, he will find a way & his muppets in Congress will help him. This is not a Reagan White House. This is a House of Cards White House.

It's okay with me if it's okay with him. Is it okay with you if it's okay with me if it's okay with him?

How 'bout we send the Warden a nice pie?

jjsims.bsky.social•2 days ago

What on earth is wrong with Trump, is it that he spends his entire time funding the most horrific people and letting them loose and making our world fearful

mmorgenschoen.bsky.social•2 days ago

it's who he is

jbpwfawtvo.bsky.social•2 days ago

Add to that the likelihood of that type of inmate surviving the entirety of their sentence in a state prison... seems lower...

gchernack.bsky.social•2 days ago

Much rather be in federal prison.

andyrogers.bsky.social•2 days ago

Yeah, the same logic that allows DOGE to fire nuclear scientists.

Are we WINNING yet? /s

cabbageridge.bsky.social•1 day ago

Are you suggesting the MN prisons are bad places ?

harlemedic.bsky.social•2 days ago

1/2: I'm not so sure. Bear w/me: We're all familiar with the deal where people can be hit with almost identical federal and local charges, and periodically... will be cleared at one but convicted on the other. And we also know SCOTUS has decided this is NOT "Double Jeopardy" (cont)

harlemedic.bsky.social•2 days ago

2/2 (cont). While this is "settled law" there are numerous high profile cases in the pipeline (including potential Jan 6th.. where State prosecutors are getting ready) and I wouldn't be surprised if SCOTUS uses them, or Chauvin, to forbid this bypassing of Double Jeopardy.

parisdog.bsky.social•2 days ago

The charges aren’t similar

harlemedic.bsky.social•2 days ago

close enough to get a hearing.

parisdog.bsky.social•2 days ago

civil rights vs murder? I guess?

hismajesty68.bsky.social•2 days ago

The ultimate empty gesture

scottstrouts.bsky.social•2 days ago

In Minnesota, an inmate serves 2/3's of his sentence and is then placed on supervised release for the remaining 1/3 l. He will be out in 2035.

fight4usademocracy.bsky.social•13 hours ago

Hey - that works for me! Either way, he stays in prison, correct? Trump can't pardon state crimes.

never-trumpism.bsky.social•2 days ago

Asshole trumpE - KNOWS NOTHING

mrm2811.bsky.social•2 days ago

He’d also likely be treated worse in state prison.

get-offme.bsky.social•2 days ago

Do it. That twat deserves to be miserable and the fucking idiot in the White House needs to be humiliated.

he does not have to let Chauvin out, the masses will be protesting soon enough.

Wow.
An opportunity to disinformation the country into race war: Trump Federally pardons, State maintains custody:
MAGA can't connect the dots.
Fake Woke Jail Martyr Mayhem.

langwoodj.bsky.social•2 days ago

It seems reallly important to MAGA to make it okay for police to kill black people on the street.

lizardrocket.bsky.social•2 days ago

Derek Chauvin might want to remind himself that this is what happened while he was in federal custody and supervised before he agrees to be set free to roam the streets alone. I'm sure he's not Mr. Popular in a lot of places. But maybe Ben Shapiro wants Chauvin dead for some reason.

oldliberalfart.bsky.social•1 day ago

Street justice knows no bounds.

true-me.bsky.social•1 day ago

There’s no chance that Chauvin’s state sentence will be commuted, so I highly doubt he wants a pardon. I suspect the last thing he wants is to spend time in a MN state prison.
