So, feasibly, Trump could encourage his militia followers to harm American citizens in lieu of the military doing the deed and then pardon them. Never, ever, patronize a business that supports trump and his goons. Live simply. Don’t consume.
Pappy O'Daniel pardoned the Soggy Bottom Boys on their word they wouldn't commit no more crimes (said in old timey talk), although he had no idea how bad they might be.
First it was the dance, now this. What's next, having his rival run out on a rail.
Pardoned domestic terrorists are no longer just individuals—they risk becoming mercenaries controlled by the most powerful office on Earth. Without oversight or accountability, their loyalty feeds control, not democracy. Shadows deepen as justice fades. 🌗✨
Don't ever let Republicans be the "law and order" party again. Trump pardoned people who beat police officers with American flags and fire extinguishers.
How are your reporters going to address this with Trump, his press secretary and his billionaire buddies?
Do any of you have the backbone to ask them if they agree with Trump pardoning those who tried to overturn a free & free election? Will you guys ask the tough questions?
White nationalist terrorists have been freed — by Donald Trump — to resume their pastime of plotting terrorism.
I would like to blame NBC & others — who for months leading up to the election — posted headlines & article after article—about Biden’s age — as if that was a threat. 🖕
Almost every news outlet attacked Biden saying he had cognitive issues
Never once did they ask Trump about his lunacy
Now he will destroy them all
I hope they like what they wanted
And people were fussing over Biden’s pardons. Let’s just pardon domestic terrorists…… logic is strong with this one. #trump #pardon
Ultimately, pardon power has gotten out of hand and with presidential immunity……. Could lead to extreme corruption and mismanagement of power.#Congress needs to act
Making us safe again by releasing violent vindictive criminals back into our communities and signaling that violence is ok if it’s in his name feelsgoodman
The only way we are going to stop him and his supporters from destroying the country is to cause them economic pain until they turn on the Republicans.

When goodness is lost, there is kindness
When kindness is lost, there is justice
When justice is lost, there is ritual
Now ritual is the husk of faith and loyalty, the beginning of confusion

Trump released 1500 criminals, convicted by juries of their peers, back into Society today. What did he do to help the working Americans who voted for him? What did he do about the price of groceries or the cost of gas?
Be specific. He (also) pardoned the violent organizers who were convicted of seditious conspiracy. Anyone who normalizes this (yes you @nbcnews.com) is complicit.
Just saw an FBI agent on Democracy now saying there are a lot, a LOT of cops behind Trump and in the far right. That makes me sick, it's like cannibalism.
Convicted Felon 47s posse pardoned, no shock there. I'm surprised that they weren't released early to decorate with feces and urine before the Balls. They did such fine work their last invite, to the Be there, be wild event.
Well, as soon as this madman was allowed to back to our highest office (which means very little now), my wife and I applied for our our pistol permit. Almost there.
Now this is serious. A government comes to undo whatever the previous government has done? Is that a way forward? Are these not the same people he set up? Why does the POTUS has so much power? This is insane really
Is NBC kidding with this headline and photo. They aren't all "defendants". Many are violent felons. And why use that happy colorful photo, as if they were all just sitting around. There was insane violence against cops that day, and an intent to harm members of congress. Get real.
Dana White already did that and now he's on the board at Facebook.
A rapist is president and a man who punched his wife in the face, on video, are elevated to the highest echelons, somebody tell me again how accusations of rape and violence against women hinder men's careers?
Look forward to all those law enforcement orgs speaking out against this. Not going to happen. Also shout out to those companies/orgs that stopped contributing to politicians who supported J6 & then started back up when it got far enough in the rearview. You helped enable this.

Also, we do not have to sit and watch. No one is coming.

It's a sad say for this country.

They can't even call a nazi salute for what it is. People think they're going to make a case out of a Proud Boy beating up his wife?
You handled the January 6th attack on the Constitution in a way that worked to Trump's advantage.
Remember when laws mattered?
And by the way, have you reported Musk's Nazi salutes yet?
If anyone else did them, they'd be front page news.

Back the blue, my ass.
The convicts should have to acknowledge they fell for disinformation and that 2020 election wasn’t stolen.
This is gaslighting and rewriting history at its finest.
But since Republicans put party over country, nothing will be done.
(Yes, I think it's an abuse of power to pardon co-conspirators.)
Trump pardoning Jan 6 insurrectionists is about building a dangerous, violent army that is forever indebted to him.
💀
I can probably guess the answer.
This country is no longer the country I proudly served for 11 years.
This is conduct unbecoming of a POTUS and the enablers that have allowed it.
May Karma do what Karma will. :(

This may be a very interesting precedent over then next few months/years.......
