What the Rest of the World may've missed is it's pardons for the merely vile & violent but the real threats to civil order & their ringleaders only get commutation afaik.
Who called for that distinction & why?
I suppose the journalist said “does that mean you’re not going to answer the question?“ Ha ha ha. (we can dream for a day of professional journalism, can’t we).
The Capitol police officers should send a message of their own. Every one of them should call in sick for the rest of the week. Let both houses know the cost of having that monster in the White House.
The coup is complete. Four years of calculated planning have brought shadows to the forefront. Victory for them, but at what cost to democracy? When power is seized through division and manipulation, the light dims. The question now: will we rise to reclaim it? 🌗✨
Difficult to trust the commitment of the US to international treaties and laws. And they dared to think that we weren't serious. The damage is irreparable in the short term.
White nationalist terrorists have been freed — by Donald Trump — to resume their pastime of plotting terrorism.
I would like to “thank” all those news agencies — spending months leading up to the election — posting headlines — article after article—about Biden’s age — as if that was a threat.
He couldn’t defend the indefensible so he did what all Republicans are told to do now, they just say “I’m looking forward, I don’t want to re-litigate the past.” Of course it’s a chickensh*t, spineless response
Can you believe it the police union backed trump and most first responders backed trump and he’s pardoned 1500 criminals that beat and killed the police so they can do it again I’ve always heard the police were stupid and now I’ve witnessed it frankly I hope it happens again they sure deserve it
Rubio is a traitor just like trump has zero character and the dems voted 100% for him fuck them not another penny I haven’t had to kill anyone for 60 years or so but if the insurrectionists start carrying out Trump desires to the people on his list they and their family are fair game we are watchin
Of course he did he’s a traitor just like Trump hopefully something horrible will happen to him and Trump because the judiciary system failed us and may have crippled the country forever and do you believe those politicians sold their souls to Trump to keep their little bit of power ZERO Character
It sends the message that this administration will not respect the rule of law. Not respecting the rule of law leads to societal breakdown by creating a cycle of instability that undermines a fair and functional society.
He refused twice on ABC, too. He said that now that he's SoS, he can only have opinions on foreign relations matters. When pressed on whether this is one, he said it's only a domestic issue, so he has no opinion. He is and always has been a weasel.
So what happens when the terrorists whose trial didn't conclude sue for being held for years and trump orders the DOJ to settle and pay them millions? The message will be that you are rewarded for being criminals.
Huh. That's weird because it's such an easy answer. It means that you can crime all you want as long as you're wealthy, white, and support Trump. It ain't rocket science, Little Marco!
Big deal. You expect him to answer?
More to the point, what message *is* the rest of the world getting. Do they see this as just MAGA, or is this me and the rest of America, too?
(I'm sure there are "fine people" in Russia, but these days I'm blaming them all.)
They know the evil answer, but they do not want to offend the DON for releasing his naive members of his Mob. His Foot Soldiers are needed in his Mob, to do his dirty work.
The message is that Trump will reward his 'Brownshirts' who beat up and kill at his direction and has released them back into your neighborhood to reinforce his cruelty.
And that "the 'Beerhall Putch' by a pro Hitler mob was neither insurrection or sedition............." Sorry, wrong script.....
that should read
"the Jan 6th Capitol attack by a pro Rump mob was neither insurrection or sedition"
Exactly. Why vote for him just because he might be the least awful of a bunch of awful choices. HE IS STILL AWFUL! Forget this “choose your battles” BS. It is ALL a battle! Stop giving up ground to the fascists.
Marco Rubio is the political equivalent of a eunuch—an ideal lackey for someone like Trump. A spineless sycophant, he’d sacrifice every shred of integrity just to cling to the illusion of relevance. He'd be laughable if he weren't so pathetic.
that it's perfectly acceptable for Republican affiliated citizens to violently attack the US Capitol when the election results are not what they like, and they will get a pardon
I'll answer it for him ' tinpot dictatorship'...there are NO honorable GOP politicians left...spineless. What good will they be remembered for...? Sweet fck all...not a statesman amongst them
..pathetic
If Marco got away with this method, the rest will follow. Journalists throw questions at MAGA and they only answer softball questions, and journalist think they did their job. Pathetic.
Real journalism is asking the tough questions and remaining persistent until they get an answer.
Looking forward to @nytimes.com, @washingtonpost.com, etc asking law enforcement orgs, police unions, FOPs, etc if pardoning cop beaters is “Backing the Blue”. And if those orgs plan on speaking out for their law enforcement brethren. Shouldn’t hold my breath for that to happen.
Male-elites make glaringly visible: law, norms and suffering are just flotsam in the way of chasing after 'more-than'. Been writing a book-set, 6 years, on the failure of social movements to effectively engage the reality of inequality, ever, that underlies all social problems. Doing final edit.
American press, unlike the British, do not press and hold officials accountable. They just shrug and move on. Why would officials ever answer truthfully? Hedging, lying, and ignoring the questions is the safer, easier way to go when on with the broken and useless MSM networks.
This is what I would expect from Rubio, whose lifelong careerism has just been rewarded.
The condition of his elevation to high government office is pleasing Trump, and being Trump’s ambassador to the rest of the world. In that pursuit, Rubio will subject himself to worse indignities than this.
Marco Rubio took an oath, and not to Donald J. Trump, he gave his word to his boss: he gave his word to the people of the United States. Your word is who you are.
Clearly, his word should not be taken as truthful.
Then the interviewer needs to STOP the interview until he does . And if he continues to not answer the question , they end it completely . Do your job @nbcnews.com
What a statement if, after taking his oath, Rubio had turned to the cameras and said "I cannot serve an administration that does not respect the Constitution and the rule of law. I must therefore resign from my position as Secretary of State." But no - cowardice, fear, and expediency is all.
They learn the rules of #dictatorship fast. Vengeful trump grows more insecure as this hair goes white. He even thinks he can rewrite our constitution. #DumbedDown

But hey, enjoy the massive ratings of the clown show, the clicks, the likes, the follows, the advertising dollars.
dont move on to another question dont move on to another topic just repeat the question until you actually get answered nbc
Who called for that distinction & why?
He is at high risk for being killed.
One that should have been sent a long time ago.
Rubio gonna Rubio
I’m gobsmacked that NBC even asked.
I would like to “thank” all those news agencies — spending months leading up to the election — posting headlines — article after article—about Biden’s age — as if that was a threat.
And if you voted for him, I’m holding YOU accountable and liable.
They do NOT skate on their associations
Now ask about the two Nazi salutes
Imagine being at work and refusing to answer a question from your boss that exposes your fundamental character.
I heard him use "commute" this morning on the news and then explain (poorly) why he had to "commute" them rather than pardon.
Is this true?
Another unqualified do-nothing career grifter.
And also give one to himself.

#DoBetterMSM Do your freakin job or go work for FOX NEWS!
Geezus, this is how we got here!
Your post is a perfect example.
MSM BETTER UNDERSTAND THEIR JOBS ARE IN PERIL.
So much for the party of law and order.
It’s saying that the rule of law doesn’t apply equally to everyone. Trump is really the one weaponizing justice. F*ck him.
