So defecating in the capital, causing millions of dollars in damage, causing physical harm and trying to prevent the peaceful transfer of power is not illegal. Great job America.
If I was a Capitol police officer, I would quit today. Their service and willingness to put their lives on the line are not respected or appreciated. The Capitol Police deserve better.
Or...Convicted Felon and Adjudicated Rapist President puts hundreds of convicted criminals back on the streets as they chant "Whose Streets, Our Streets"
Unfortunately those who believe him when he says "I only can fix it" will close their minds and eyes and sing their favorite song...Fake News.... to quote the famous line from Forrest Gump... "Stupid is as stupid does"...IMHO
They didn't respect the process; they broke the law. We all know this right? They had their constitutional beliefs used against them to ignore the process. That is what we're see here. Someone who encouraged the disorder against the regime in place preparing them, testing them. They passed.
So let’s see if the media rage machine that finally sprang to life when Biden pardoned Hunter now reaches the same level of 24/7 coverage after Trump pardons 1600 domestic terrorists.
What I am saying is the hypocrisy is on full display. The trampettes were horrified that Hunter was pardoned yet celebrating the pardon of violent extremists. I can’t wrap my head around their hypocrisy or their stupidity.
Knock it off-they are still in a jail cell. Signing executive orders is not legal-they'll still be there for a long time if they ever get out and even rapistTrump knows it. Just a propaganda ploy..
He likes to free criminals. I suppose we can chalk it up to professional courtesy. 5,000 Taliban villains released as part of his Afghanistan "deal" in 2020. Now, 1,500 violent insurrectionists. Looks like Charlie Manson died too soon.
Inciter of insurrection, a constitutionally disqualified insurrectionist (CDI) hire pardons those he incited to engage in insurrection but the premeditated & multi-pronged insurrection didn't begin on Jan 6th nor has it ended today.
#TheInsurrectionContinues & America is in a #ConstitutionalCrisis
Who is going to investigate the election fraud? If a legitimate organization will take it on as some kind of class action, I think most of us would be behind them. We know our government has not power, but maybe private citizens do?
Did Biden pardon Merrick? That's one guy I kind of don't mind if tRump went after. He'd be wrong for doing it, but I don't know if I'd put up much of a fight over it.
Sounds as if it is the beginning of our,Kristallnacht. 1933 Germany Breaking of the Glass. Hitler had his thugs now Trump has his. "It's going to be a very ruff 4 years. Two if the Dems get back in and control the House and the Senate.
Yes, the American public acted stupidly, but they perceive the educated as sneaky enemies. We must somehow get them to see that educated people can be moral and honest.
You'd need a newspaper that was devoted to truth and journalism for that. You won't get it from the New York Times, which has already capitulated. The US version of the Vichy press.
Trump previously told the country many, especially though committing the worst acts of violence and destruction, were Antifa and FBI, to make his Patriotic mob look bad. Trump is now admitting all were his followers.
Why the hell was it NOT the headline? Throughout the campaign? Why did Harris not use her $billion war chest to blanket the airwaves and social media with this? Not like it was a secret he would to it. Instead of those weak/vague, “he’s a billionaire who doesn’t care about you” crap.
We need to contact Patrick Yoes, President-FOP. What’s their stand on pardoning those that assaulted police officers on Jan 6? Does FoP Back the Blue? FOP endorsed Trump.
FOP said “No Comment”.

Or “Trump pardons 1,600 MAGA Terrorists who tried to kill police & Congress members”. The people he pardoned are MAGA Republican Terrorists. They are the troops in Trump’s Jan 6th MAGA Terrorist Attack on our Capitol. Chris Wray called it a Domestic Terrorist attack, let’s use the proper terminology
Ya i just don't think we can break through to people on how insane this is. Media has some blame for stuff like this, but there's just so much more going on making it so this doesn't register the way it should
Unfukingbelieveable!!! It’s astonishing how democrats are throwing their hands up, capitulating and not trying to figure a way to fight back!! Pisses me off with their quietness!!! 😡🤬
Anyone who claimed that Trump would mean law and order is either a fool or a fraud. The Fraternal order of Police proved themselves supporters of crime by this.
But Trump paying taxpayers $$ for releasing 5,000 TALIBAN TERRORISTS out of Pakistan's prisons, must have been fine, 'cause I hadn't seen any uproar about that - what a slap to the families of all the soldiers who sacrificed their lives in Afghanistan while trying to catch them in the first place!
What message does his pardons send?
That violence wins, that laws can bend?
To free the ones who broke the peace,
Ensures this violence will not cease.
All the remaining Capitol police must be so happy to be protecting the treasonous members of Congress. They're spitting in their faces again. Oh, if only they would walk out w/ Blue Flu.
Using the word defendants would signify that they haven't been found guilty & are still presumed to be innocent. These aren't innocent people! They're traitors to this country, & the highest ranking official of this land (also a criminal) just absolved them of their sins, just like the Confederates!
Because that's what he did. For those 1,600 people, may there be no quarter, no peace, no moment of rest for them, may they be met with extreme prejudice.
I’m so worried about this poor kid. He did the right thing, reported his “Three Percenter” dad for violently attacking the Capitol and lost his whole family over it. Now the father who threatened him has been pardoned by Mango Mussolini and he’s rightly terrified. 😞
“There were people who assaulted police officers,” he said. “There were people who vandalized the Capitol. I don’t care what side of the aisle you are on, if you assault a police officer you should be charged.”
If the News Organizations cower and appease now the end result is the loss of democracy. That is exactly what the headlines should read! 🎶Where have all the Edward R Murrow s gone / Long time passing🎶
TOSS (The Orange Shit Stain) always complains about how he's treated by the media which is odd considering the fact that they consistently treat him with kid gloves and word things in such a way as to normalize even his most egregious acts.
Trump released felons who beat the crap out of police!! Not what we voted for!! All blue in 2!! I love our law enforcement #cops #BackTheBlue #Trump2025 #TrumpInauguration2025 #Trump #Republican #maga
Since Trump pardoned people who openly, defiantly and proudly attacked, maimed and killed police officers, it sure would be a shame if police officers failed to protect Trump. A real shame.
It's not "Hundreds" who are back on the street. It's 172
Out of the 1000s of arrests they were almost entirely charged w/misdemeanors
Luckly Empty here is a HUGE Garland apologist so I'm sure she'll have a great explanation for the kid gloves treatment of rioters she's mad Trump has...ended now? 🤔
Might be semantics but you don’t pardon a defendant. A defendant is still “defending themself”—not yet convicted. Trump pardoned convicts! He’s not sending his best back out there…
Trump commutes sentences of Proud Boys and Oath Keepers leaders as he pardons over 1,000 January 6 US Capitol rioters.
This is a Dark Day in America’s history, the President of the USA pardons his supporters who beat the Crap out of Police Officers defending the Capital.
This the Republican Party.
Why do you think he’s going to play by any fucking rules? What makes you think that? Whatever rules the POS doesn’t like, it will destroy. Wonder how long it’s going to take before everyone catches on that America has died. 😑
Wonder if he would have pardoned even one if they had been black or another minority. This may backfire as these thugs don't stop being violent. I wait.
It proves to me that the US is no longer a country with laws and justice. This proves you only need to make the right choice (whatever that's worth) ..... no law nor justice system needed.
Unfortunately that's exactly what happened in the last 4 years, I personally have been robbed and assaulted by people here illegally and there are millions of violent people that have come to our country, not just a few thousands.
You mean the convicted felon released his loyal convicted felon from prison? They gave up 4 years away from family and broke without any help from the conman for their defense years ago. How stupid will they be this time to trust him again? 😅🤣😂
I fear for the wives/husbands and other family members who did the right thing and turned in these criminals. Many of those convicted for 1/6 have prior records for domestic violence and other violence.

I'd be pissed.
Didn't they donate enough?
Lies are truth,
War - peace,
Terrorist - defendant,
Fascist - patriot,
Criminal - president,
Explosion - bang.
Rascism kills.
They are "CONVICTS."
Trump gives Americans permission to beat up and kill law enforcement officers . . . ❓❓❓
If memory serves, presidents don’t pardon defendants!!!
Presidents pardon convicts, don’t they?
Defendants?
Can somebody please help a brother out here?
#TheInsurrectionContinues & America is in a #ConstitutionalCrisis
Nothing surprises me anymore from this treasonous pos.
‘no one is above the law’ is bs.
1600 insurrectionists.
He has to keep consistent, you know.
How about actually imagining something better than what currently exists.
Before you can: "SPEAK TRUTH TO POWER" you must learn to recognize it and state it as clearly as possible!
Headline:
"Trump pardons nearly all of the 1,600 Jan. 6 defendants".

All were violent? Any not associated with Jan-6th.?
If we envision a fast approaching future of Autocratic Oppression, then "THE TRUTH" will become our greatest weapon!
