A real "great guy."
I'm sure he'll go right back to it.

Please America, don't just shake your head, take action.
Call out the Republican politicians in your orbit: What are they going to do to keep your community safe now that these criminals have been released and know there is no consequence for political violence?

I think we should send the Nazi GOPs a call or send them a memo to let them know how we feel about the release of criminals who beat cops who protected them from the mob. Keep it going. Don’t stop talking about it. Mike Moses Johnson wants us to stop. He’s using religion to justify it. Nope!

He pardoned the leaders to keep them quiet on his complicity. He pardoned the rest for cover... 36 count felon Donald Trump should have had a slew of other counts added on for sedition and conspiracy to overturn an election.. Corrupt Republicans Gave him cover.. They are Guilty as sin.....

I’m sorry what did I miss? Isn’t he supposed to be anti drug but he released a drug trafficker? Can’t wait to hear maga spin this crap

All employers ,would you want any of these people working for you , definitely not , do strict background checks, they are still violent felons, a pardon doesn't erase that human behavior

Since he’s getting rid of Equal Opportunity hiring, it won’t be illegal to ask for political affiliation of candidates… or if they participated in J6…

I strongly disagree with the characterization of Trump's pardons as "upside down and aberrant". The pardons were lawful and within his authority as President. It's unfair to label them as "dangerous" without evidence.
