100% He pardoned them all to keep their factions loyal to him as 'foot soldiers'. So when the 'take no action Dems in power benignly begin pearl clutching at any 'legal maneuver' trump tries, he'll install those racist, fascist groups to do his bidding in the shade. ...oh yeah and #fuckdonaldtrump
There is a reason that he told the Proud Boys to “stand back and stand by”. Adolph had his brown shirts, so it is fitting that Donald has the Proud Boys.
He pardoned them because he could and because Democrats were appalled by it. He will do anything to get his opponents seething, because he is an overgrown mentally ill child
He also is forgetting how many Veterans and Patriotic Americans don’t like him, don’t back down from a fight, especially from a thug and most importantly, highly armed and trained!
This is your reminder that, once he took power, Mustache Man pardoned and released his 2000 co-conspirators in the 1923 Beer Hall Putsch aka Munich Putsch (attempted coup) who were then organized into his Stormtrooper "Brown Shirts".
Oh my gosh! Just an hour ago I was saying exactly the same thing to my husband! If the military and National Guard refuse him, all he has to do is drop a not-so-subtle hint and they’ll be at his beck and call. He a private army of zealots willing to do anything for their cause. It’s F’ing dark!
I can certainly see murder and violence being used to quell any form of defiance against Trump's Regime....indeed, how long before Brown or Black uniforms are " de rigueur " amongst Trump's henchmen ?
I was thinking about that. The officers that were there are likely triggered by this. Seems there will be some internal conflicts amongst the maga crowd
One can hope. It’ll make a nice change from them shooting black males for no good reason.
Although I’d be very surprised if Trump wouldn’t push for those police officers to be held accountable for those deaths in a way that US police have very rarely been subject to.
If nothing comes out of this farce of a government, the police realizing that they are NOT on the side of power and are just regular Union members like everyone else? That would be a silver lining. Until then, ACAB.
Why do you think elitist totalitarians made a worldwide push to "cancel" the death penalty?
Moderates will have a big decision to make sooner than later, because humanity's running out of time, and these predatory sociopaths are going to keep pushing and pushing until we HAVE to fight back...
My biggest regret in life is I'll probably die too young to see the guillotine come back. Americans and Chinese are already making friends on social media.
"Glasnost" toppled the USSR when everyone realized they weren't alone making harsh sacrifices, and the internet is OUR glasnost. So if it's Class War they want, they're gonna get one.
ESPECIALLY once the global economy collapses from THEIR greed...
The internet was designed as the ultimate glasnost.
It's taken decades and a whole bunch of money, but it's turning into the opposite: the world's biggest shopping mall. With a Hot Topic right next to Abercrombie.
Just a bunch of bubbles blowing out our asses in a boiling hot tub.
Yes, remember that those people have been preparing for this moment for the last thirty years at least. Those aren’t summer camps in the mountains of Idaho and Montana, people.
It also serves another purpose. All those that turned in and testified against these insurrectionists will now live in fear of retribution. Anyone considering standing up and doing the right thing in the future has now been warned.
The thing I don’t understand - if they act, such as committing assault, that would be prosecutable under state law where his pardon power DOESN’T apply. Most crimes aren’t federal crimes.
And here I was thinking that nobody else would see the parallel. What's sad is that even if people knew how this compares to Germany, they still would continue doing the same and supporting Trump. American Christofacism.
Nothing needs to die as badly as the Abrahamic faiths do. Capitalism will fall with them. It’s inevitable really, but I wish they’d hurry up and do it already so we don’t have to keep suffering for it.
It’s time we start showing the government that. Protests needs to be escorted by ARMED protestors with open carry weapons. Maybe then the pigs will start minding themselves better too.
I agree FULLY. What we need is a modern version of them but absolutely NO identity as a core one. Not white, black, Hispanic, American, none of those labels matter & none can be centralized. There must be ZERO labels beyond humanity & morals/ethics and freedom be oppression. All labels are dividers.
I pray it doesn't come to violence but Trump and the mob he released from prison are threatening innocent citizens. We know that the justice system won't protect us. We are on our own. Be safe.
If I’m not mistaken, even if you get pardoned it doesn’t remove your conviction from your record and if it’s a felony wouldn’t that prohibit you from owning a firearm?
I was gonna say, but one minor niggle: more like the Schutzstaffel (SS).
Gestapo was built from existing police organizations. The SS was built from thuggish hangers-on following Hitler. Both were deadly but in different ways, different MOs.
And the highest court in the land, the Supreme Court, gave Trump immunity so he can do whatever he wants as president (if it is a presidential act) and get away with it. But at some point, those carrying out these actions for Trump will be held accountable hopefully. Scary unsafe times.
Wait for the first big peaceful protest . Trump will send in these goons and the police won’t do a thing while they beat the protesters.
The goons will also embed in the protesters and cause the harm that triggers their violent response.
This isn’t America anymore. Trump and his enablers are making it into a place many of us don’t want to live in. CANNOT believe this is actually happening but it is.
RapistTrumo's loyal Hamas terrorits should have face a firing squad upon convictions to prevent this and once stupidly released they should be instantly deported else where!
Trump deployed unidentified
armed thugs to Portland, OR, & other cities to foment violence & violate civil rights of citizens, snatching them off streets into vans, transporting to locations without due process; now available, his personal domestic terrorist groups Proud Boys, 3 Percenters, etc.
Where are all the republicans with stories of the insurrectionists being old ladies caught up in the moment. Some are clearly leaders of far right parties that were fomenting the violent overthrow of the government. All pardoned
That begs the question. If he has immunity from prosecution for criminal acts that begin with an official act, is he also immune from criminal acts that begin with an unofficial act involving an organization that is outside the government? After all, what official act begins outside of government?
These felons cannot be protected from state charges. Time to see if some of these criminals can be prosecuted in different states. The worst of the worst are a menace to America. Donald Dump is leader of the pack.
He doesn’t need to do things unofficially, he will use the US military as he is the commander. I have no faith that they will hesitate when he asks them commit unlawful acts, or to kill US citizens. I don’t understand what is going on but I KNOW that the USA is over unless someone stands up to him.
With the injustice of pardoning nearly all the Jan 6th rioters it seems Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. said it best, “Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.”
Sure, but here's the thing. We have the entire list of their names. We know where they live. We know what they did. We know exactly what they are. We should ensure they fear us, far more than we fear them.
Don’t forget they’ve got jobs, businesses, properties, family, friends, and neighbors. Those people are all avenues to apply pressure to them even if the government won’t. Ostracize them, reject them, ban them, insult them, in all ways offend them and make them feel hated outwardly. They deserve it.
We can only hope they continue turning them in, even if it just spreading the truth of their evil to the community to turn it against them. The only thing that hurts these bigots worse than forceful opposition is being outright ignored but know they’re hated.
It's 1500 numbskull "Brownshirt" fascists who don't have enough sense not to wear MAGA uniform or mark themselves w/ tattoos identifying themselves as White Nationalists threatening Civil War w/ trained guerilla warriors ready to blend in w/ the 255,000,000 Americans who DID NOT vote for T-Rump.
All rules and social norms are gone. You must unapologetically protect yourself, even if it means blood will be shed. This is where we are now and y'all better accept it quick. Murderers of cops just got pardoned by your president. This is a banana republic now.
Well now would be a good time for the Police Unions to back their people and explain that tRump and Maga are NOT their buddies. Please wake up. You are targets, and it will get worse. Now tRump will be hosting an event for the J6 rioters...Wake up!!!
Alt text: "just in case people don't fully grasp it. The pardoning of insurrectionists is Trump's way of building loyalty from militias and domestic terrorists to carry out *unofficial acts for him" *meaning he can pretend to be shocked.
This is no different than countries like Iran allowing members of Hamas or Hezbollah to live freely and openly within their society.
Of more immediate importance, Trump Terrorists will feel increasingly emboldened and shielded. Be prepared to defend yourself or strike preemptively if necessary.
Yep, don’t forget to add this bonus. Pardoning others for the crimes I cited eliminate the rule of law. Today, January 22, 2025. The rule of law ended in the United States.
Isaiah 10 Woe to those who make unjust laws, to those who issue oppressive decrees, to deprive the poor of their rights and withhold justice from the oppressed , making widows their prey and robbing the fatherless. What will you do on the day of reckoning-Where will you leave your riches?

It’s Hitler’s playbook.
The Trump/GOP J6 Brownshirt Sturmabteilung is going to carry it out. In return, Trump/GOP will grant them full immunity.
This is where we are because this is who they are.
No-one seems to have remarked yet that these pardons incentivize police to shoot to kill when confronting pro-Trump protesters in the future.
Although I’d be very surprised if Trump wouldn’t push for those police officers to be held accountable for those deaths in a way that US police have very rarely been subject to.

At some point it's going to be clear it's "Us vs. Them", and I suspect people aren't gonna wanna stay oppressed.
Whether we "storm the Bastille" remains to be seen, but "Their Way" is unsustainably evil.
Either we rise up, or hit the Great Filter.
-We have all been betrayed.
These criminal fucks will be his SA and SS
The only choices that that remain are to be his victim, or to stop him.
Perhaps a brown shirt.
A personal militia
Civil War.
Gestapo was built from existing police organizations. The SS was built from thuggish hangers-on following Hitler. Both were deadly but in different ways, different MOs.
What we need is a collective of people that will resist and will go after them.
Just wait for it
The goons will also embed in the protesters and cause the harm that triggers their violent response.

Oh Amerikkka what have you done?
I mean
LOL
In military terms, that's no more, no less than a target of opportunity.

Humanity has seen it many times... and the death totals are remarkable. They were called THE DARK AGES for a reason.
