Let’s be real. 1500 inbred gangsters is not an army.

It’s desperation.

hahnyock.bsky.social•34 days ago

Like other terrorist orgs it will lead to recruitment. There are tens of thousands in the US right now. It’s how you put down protests without using the military. Then pardon them. Just like J6.

oeishik.bsky.social•34 days ago

Exactly right. This is Donald's 'stand back & stand by' battalion. https://youtu.be/7h-RFIm8JSY

Some of whom brought weapons into the building. 😑

Says felon ineligible to even join the military.

The SA reborn.

Holy crap 🤯

lydiasdarkroom.bsky.social•34 days ago

Well that's something scary that I hadn't thought of yet.

toototabon1.bsky.social•34 days ago

There’s truly a nightmare approaching, but at least people are resisting with their social media posts.

hackett-hound.bsky.social•34 days ago

It's going to be worse next time

kmfjc.bsky.social•34 days ago

Take cover?

oldbrownshoe.bsky.social•34 days ago

He’s not leaving in 4 years, and he just gave his personal army permission to do anything.

johnthedoctor.bsky.social•33 days ago

Oh come on. He wouldn’t cancel an election. Not unless there was some kind of grave threat to the nation that made such action necessary.

madbitch.bsky.social•34 days ago

Nothing like having 1500 angry, trigger happy, horny men released out in the streets. What could go wrong?

dlowther.bsky.social•34 days ago

As an aside, @jfallows.bsky.social delivers a piece on today's "terrible speech." Highly recommended.

lainiebird.bsky.social•34 days ago

Exactly.

okaydumbass.bsky.social•34 days ago

Riot. Rinse. Repeat.

chronicb17ch.bsky.social•34 days ago

This is exactly why he followed through with the pardons. In the past 4 years, when he made a call to arms (court appearances, when the doj came knocking) he realized he needed them because they answered his last call to arms the way he wanted, with violence.

circlelady.bsky.social•34 days ago

He'll hire them to carry out violent deportations.

gawdzchild4eva.bsky.social•34 days ago

So we better know ours.

minutello1.bsky.social•34 days ago

That's how I see it!

superfly247.bsky.social•34 days ago

Luckily we have a very serious, independent Attorney General.

pataz1.bsky.social•34 days ago

He wanted his brownshirts back

klearnote.com•31 days ago

Yes, because Trump knows he can’t get unwavering fealty out of the military… at least not yet. He can get it from this militia.

azeke57.bsky.social•34 days ago

Since most will have a hard time getting jobs. I could see him hiring them as an immigration goon squad that rounds up people in sanctuary cities.

thedrewvawter.bsky.social•34 days ago

Yes.

Trump has green-lighted his army of brown shirt foot soldiers across the country.

alanbbayer.bsky.social•33 days ago

Confused. They were still convicted. Does the pardon reinstitute that right?

klearnote.com•31 days ago

I also questioned that. I don’t know for certain.

spacely.bsky.social•34 days ago

I suppose it makes sense that a mob boss would break his mob out of jail...... 🤬

blue-miime.bsky.social•34 days ago

That is the best username

pentsalaria.bsky.social•34 days ago

It doesn’t feel like a shadow. It’s right here in full sunlight.

mattyfc.bsky.social•34 days ago

Frightening. Message sent. Political violence in the name of Trump is okay. With a Trump FBI, and DOJ, we are in for a rough time. We will need to rely on state law where we can to quell political violence.

infraredchris.bsky.social•34 days ago

So much for this authoritarian to take away his followers guns

kurtwhittet.bsky.social•34 days ago

Yep - stand back and stand by

panosfrmgoranos.bsky.social•34 days ago

The question now becomes when and who will be the target that gets shot and killed by one of them!!!

cookievargas.bsky.social•34 days ago

consequence-free, of course

meredith-keith.bsky.social•34 days ago

When does the Trump Organization start its own private security force?

They've got 1500 names to recruit from, no?

jkhowe.bsky.social•34 days ago

They were recruited 5 years ago.

luvmypirates.bsky.social•34 days ago

The will have an unlimited supply of “get out of jail free” cards.

Anyone can be a mark now. 😡

itsjuliet.bsky.social•34 days ago

And has sent a message to them that they were wronged by their country instead of the other way around.

desertflower7p3.bsky.social•33 days ago

A POINT not mentioned much BUT IMPORTANT!

The Minute Men, aka Minnie Mouses, if you will.

bubbawny69.bsky.social•34 days ago

when weill all you legal experts realize this is no longer democracy. america fell. trump won. it is now the era of darkness. we need to fight back. no more letter writing or podcasts.

desertflower7p3.bsky.social•33 days ago

BINGO

allan616x.bsky.social•34 days ago

Yes, yes. We should all just roll over give up. Great take.

bubbawny69.bsky.social•34 days ago

feel free to write all the letters you would want.

ipm.bsky.social•31 days ago

Some states might have laws preventing them from acquiring guns in that state even with a Presidential pardon. But they could just drive to a state that allows them to do so.

rebeccaamccoy.bsky.social•34 days ago

Birth of Trump’s brownshirts. They will commit violence for him no questions asked.

rocinante1.bsky.social•33 days ago

He does have a shadow group of misfits... but they better think twice about organizing into some lame brownshirt militia... do they think that none of the 150 million Americans who didn't vote for Tr*** won't defend themselves and don't own their own guns? Dems do need to focus on this issue tho.

speshel1.bsky.social•31 days ago

Yep!

gbliss.bsky.social•34 days ago

See: Shirts, Brown

prairiecrab.bsky.social•34 days ago

They will have to be gray shirts since he’s color blind….🙄🙄🙄

ashkeladd161.bsky.social•34 days ago

They just traded in their sentences for harsher, more permanent ones. They just don't know it yet.

diogenes-original.bsky.social•34 days ago

ashkeladd161.bsky.social•34 days ago

One way or another justice always catches up to these people.

diogenes-original.bsky.social•34 days ago

Not in the case of Trump.

jetblackbox.bsky.social•34 days ago

like A Clockwork Orange.. criminal psychopaths who will be put into positions of armed authority and zero accountability

CIA = Stasi
J6 Criminals = Brown Shirts

zogmam1.bsky.social•34 days ago

Don't forget ICE

This will lower the price of eggs

tom-terrific.bsky.social•34 days ago

The local police where these assholes live should harass the fuck out of them.

city73.bsky.social•34 days ago

in many cases, they were the local police where they live

impala327.bsky.social•33 days ago

Exactly-its not like there aren;t already Consitutional Sheriffs and 1%ers everyfuckingwhere

mmmvegas.bsky.social•34 days ago

They have already had a dress rehearsal too. They will be his enforcers.

arkandove.bsky.social•34 days ago

When will they come after those who voted democrat?

roberts-rants.bsky.social•34 days ago

Yes. He may have released the J6 convicts not out of gratitude, but because he needs violent people loyal to him for a private army.

vigneron.bsky.social•34 days ago

May?

cls180.bsky.social•34 days ago

I’m betting no level of appeasement will save him from being done in by one of his own followers….heavily armed men with mental health issues, forced to languish in prison for months to years? Donny will ultimately never be pure enough

cls180.bsky.social•34 days ago

He should have pardoned them 1/7/21….now there’s a lot of unhappy campers

johnthedoctor.bsky.social•33 days ago

I never thought of that. Cowardly and selfish of ol Twitler to wait til there was absolutely no harm that could come to him personally.
