This guy just got a full and unconditional pardon from Donald Trump.

And to finish the job, he’s gonna need an army … and now he has an army of violent extremists who owe him a favor.

I was so hoping that today the entire capital police force would have called in sick.

TRUMP: “BLUE LIVES DON’T MATTER” 👮🏼‍♀️

J6 resulted in the deaths of 5 law enforcement officers and the injury of about 140 others. Yesterday, those attackers, including some extreme militia group leaders, were pardoned by Trump. He continues to portray J6 rioters as his “patriots”! Has he no shame? 😕

richkieffer.bsky.social•91 days ago

TRUMP: NO RULES, NORMS, OR ACCOUNTABILITY!

Trump’s pardoning of J6 rioters is a direct attack on our rule of law and an attempt to rewrite J6 history. Thanks to his pardon power and Supreme Court immunity, there’s no limit to what he and his administration can do. Sadly, they are above the law.

Sad day for people who value & love democracy, here in the USA & around the globe!!

I hope that no community in this country will accept these criminals. Treat them worse that serial sexual offenders of minor children.

Despicable. Unfortunately this is just the tip of the iceberg.

This is only the beginning. The next will come when these are deputised and allowed to be law enforcement officers and deport coloured American citizens.

blinddj1005.bsky.social•91 days ago

He has pardoned the proud boys once. They will become his personal army and allowed to do what they want. Then he will pardon them again. Remember SCOTUS has already made The Donald immune.

kaykaymathers.bsky.social•91 days ago

Apparently, this is what Americans wanted. Those who voted for this are ultimately responsible.

Department of Norms won’t mind. DON🏌🏻🐍

larrywebman.bsky.social•90 days ago

Can the Capitol police walk out or go on strike over these pardons?

coffeedude82.bsky.social•91 days ago

Hopefully they won’t get hired anywhere. Accepting a pardon confirms your guilt. That’s why I think it was a bad idea for Biden to pardon the J6 committee and the capitol officers.

hairwaytostephen.bsky.social•91 days ago

And an animating goal of liberals is to funnel any sort of anti-Trump energy into promoting more money for the police and more money for foreign interventions

ratherreadabook.bsky.social•91 days ago

And most American voters voted for that to happen. Disgraceful.

spiderlegsmusic.bsky.social•91 days ago

Free and fair elections are a thing of the past. I’d bet even money the midterms are “up in the air” or will be disrupted by some event keeping us from the polls. “The Idiocracy” is not many years in the future. These people will be watering crops with energy drinks this year !

purplepolitics1.bsky.social•90 days ago

The rest of the coup will be Trump handing one of the largest most influential social media platforms (TicTok) to Elon. He basically owns all major platforms outside of Bluesky and can route fake news directly to the sheeple with no consequence. What could go wrong?

corona-limes.bsky.social•91 days ago

He already pardoned all of them?

kawika1959.bsky.social•91 days ago

Sickening.

timkudo.com•91 days ago

Trump has just pardoned a regiment-sized element. Combined with the ancillary right wing groups, he now has a substantial paramilitary force loyal to him operating with impunity to federal laws.

lwiz.bsky.social•91 days ago

😤

kjfenlason.bsky.social•91 days ago

Maybe. He also just likes causing chaos cause people focus on him (narcissism), showing people “who’s boss” (dominance - more narcissism), and revenge (psychopathy). I think he gets all three fed w the J6er pardon injustice.

. . . And where are the Democrats, publicly taking notes and promising an equal and opposite response to tyranny? Putting future insurrectionists on notice that a new day *will* eventually arrive and those notes will be receipts.

So far … crickets.

chiffonelle29.bsky.social•90 days ago

I believe it

lacentrist.bsky.social•91 days ago

I guess he accomplished his goal. 🤬 What’s next? Staying in office indefinitely? Or getting rid of everything that Americans have worked for. I’m so disgusted.

mbierman.bsky.social•91 days ago

I wouldn’t be surprised if those were his goals.

lacentrist.bsky.social•91 days ago

They are his goals.

diana4democrats.bsky.social•91 days ago

He’s told us as much. We should believe him.

lacentrist.bsky.social•91 days ago

Yep!

Saw a post that said at a rally trump said musk rigged the election for him if this is true, then you failed, and you have no right to post about things that are happening. You all attributed to this situation

Chris, the undoing of most of the DOJ’s work to get those convictions makes it so much worse that AG Garland waited too long to investigate & prosecute Trump himself. His legacy is toast.

nicksturzo.bsky.social•91 days ago

And he just set up the next one

realimgroot.bsky.social•91 days ago

This AM I watched a retrospective documentary about the Inauguration Day transition over the years.
They did a segment on the two “footballs” and made the point that “the president can’t launch a n*ke attack on his own. That’s why the Secretary of Defense has the second football.”
Now I’m scared.

freestoic.bsky.social•91 days ago

Aside from avoiding jail time himself, pardoning the J6 criminals was obviously the number one priority for Trump because he is motivated almost entirely by narcissistic grievances, and the J6 insurrectionists were putting their life on the line to erase his greatest embarrassment.

red-eye-views.bsky.social•91 days ago

Thanks for reporting. Feels so good.

introvertedcatlady.bsky.social•91 days ago

After 1/6 so many said that now he knows where he made mistakes, & if he ever made it back into office that he would try a coup again with the new knowledge of past their mistakes. That's why they had so many executive orders ready to go. They know what they're doing this time. We're so screwed

wanda27.bsky.social•91 days ago

I don’t buy the premise that this was a completed coup. He campaigned. He debated. All while being dragged in and out of court. All while he was convicted of felonies. There was an election and he won. This is on the slow justice system, the media, weak political opposition, and the American people.

glen922.bsky.social•91 days ago

This is where perhaps we need more Luigi's to do what would have been done with people like that in early human societies/tribes, where the existence of those dangerous to the group was not tolerated. George Washington had a good sense of that too, and acted on it regularly.

katierich.bsky.social•91 days ago

And now that they know there is no consequences there is nothing holding them back.

markedwards2.bsky.social•91 days ago

Fight back using the same tactics as them !! Stop being clueless !! They hit us so we hit them !! They said we are at a civil war but many of ya'll are still clueless !!!

Well, stars for your crown, Christopher. A lot of us have been saying things that are and will be coming true. You're a favorite, so I don't like kvetching, but: We need a strategy, and we need material resources to carry it out.
Forgive the sarcasm. I'm 68YO, in a down mood most of the time. 🫤

comen-tator.bsky.social•91 days ago

It is time to stop using the euphemisms for what SOS Trump says and does...

When he LIES say he LIES...
When he does something to cause damage to the USA, say it...
When he causes pricing to go up on food and drugs and everything else, say it, plain and simple...

Don't whitewash him in any way!
