Jan 6 was investigated and largely prosecuted as domestic terrorism. The pardons should be reported and spoken of accordingly. An endorsement of terrorism. Trump sprung his terrorist network - including, by extension, himself.

Terrorism is an issue to be addressed by the Department of Homeland Security. But the nominee, Noem, only cares about the border aspect to Homeland Security. But it's not surprising that Trump doesn't want anyone getting in the way of right wing domestic terrorism.
Garland did charge Luigi as a terrorist but couldn't even be bothered charging Trump's co-conspirators or charge any of the politicians with insurrection
The way states are gerrymandered and the electoral college, there are a large number of people who it simply wouldn’t have mattered even if they voted while juggling on a unicycle
And for some reason we STILL have to see @cnn.com et al refer to the worst of them, the adjudicated seditionists, these domestic terrorist organizations, as “militias.” Like it’s ten guys with muskets, and not a heavily armed hate group trying to overthrow the government.
I feel the exact same way. It seems "we" still believe "it can't happen here" and people are going to be shocked. It only took Hitler a couple of months to bring down Germany. Once in power, they just maraud and plunder.
After tomorrow’s school or workplace shooting, it behooves people writing about it to note that it may have been encouraged by the environment of lawlessness promoted by these pardons. He should be hung with that around his neck forever.
should have been reported for over a year donny would do this
he talked about it ALL THE TIME ON CAMPAIGN TRAIL👇🏼
but @newyorker.com reporters like @sbg1.bsky.social were too busy pretending biden’s lifelong stutter was senility TO MAKE SURE VOTERS KNEW THE DANGER👇🏼
Its appalling that some of our “fellow Americans “ support this Fascist and his oligarchs. What ever happened to our pride and patriotism in our country. In all my almost 80 years of living i never thought that our democracy would falter. May God Bless our country.
Your first sentence is incorrect but the rest of this is effective rhetoric. It was not prosecuted as terrorism, but it plainly was terrorism by the fairly common (not legal) definition, of violence with a political motive.
I don't think this is right. Unless you have a source, they were charged with things like trespass and assault, with a minority getting stuff like insurrection.
And never fully presented as a coup attempt. No one flipped and no text messages so most pretend Trump incited a mob. The Proud Boys and fake electors didn't just happen to show up exactly when he was pressuring Pence to undo the transfer of power. Only militias + mob breach the Capitol.
Is it too soon to start impeachment ? Between this and the not actually touching the Bible, I’m convinced we would have enough grounds in any normal administration 🥴
How about not signing the ethics agreement, the emoluments rule, no background checks for his cronies, setting up a meme coin so nations can pay him directly. There is too many to name!
Exactly, those are the kind of things we should be focused on. There's no requirement to even have any book present when swearing the oath of office, much less placing a hand on one.
Remember when there was so much debate about whether “stand back and stand by” was an endorsement or a slip of the tongue? Any chance those “centrists” realize now how gullible they were?
Can members of a terrorist network be prosecuted in any state jurisdiction where any part of the planning was carried out? Like maybe Virginia? Beyond the reach of a presidential pardon?

Not a single terrorism charge filed.
Are you new to J6 reporting?
There were 12 seditious conspiracy convictions
This was never treated as terrorism
Those people will become Trump's Tonton Macoutes, just like in Duvalier's Haiti.
And there is a whole lot of them eager to join. This can get very ugly very fast.
He pardoned his co-conspirators in an act of treason against the United States.
We elected a traitor terrorist.
And the GOP/Nazis infiltrating our government, says it’s all legal and Trump cannot be prosecuted for any crime as President.
Fun.

Language can still be made to matter, people.
I just can't tell if this is another reporter waxing poetic about things they don't understand to fill space or what the purpose is
None of the information is hidden from sight
So let's see:
Unfit to handle classified documents and nuclear secrets
Attempted overthrow of election results
Domestic terrorist
Rapist
Felon tax avoidance
But let's not forget: "both sides are the same"
