“Urge” is another one of those “strongly worded letter” Schumer is so fond of writing? Fascists cannot be urged to do anything… when are these democrats going to understand this?
It is disgusting that DOJ and puppet Bondi is carrying out this for tRump. If she had the capacity to feel shame she should be feeling it for this move
Everything's political now. There is no good or bad, black or white. If you wave a Trump banner while committing crimes, no matter how heinous, expect a pardon. Now, apparently, you will be paid for the inconvenience of being jailed and fined. What a great time for brownshirts to be alive!
Compensating rioters who attacked policemen and the Capitol in an attempted coup, orchestrated by the sitting president, are making a farce of the legal system and undermining law and order.
Reading this along with seeing the photo Trump posted of himself dressed as the pope—I’m at a loss for words to describe the sadness I feel for our once great democracy and the loss of respect and dignity held for the office of the president.
This is the party of bribes and corruption, after all. How do you guarantee loyalty? Full pardons and a bonus check. And people have the audacity to call sex workers, whores.
When has this country ever rewarded insurrectionists, people who stormed the Capital with plans to hang Mike Pence, to kill Nancy Pelosi, who pooped and peed on carpets and floors and destroyed offices. First, Donny Two Dolls pardons them, now wants to reward them with taxpayer monies???? WTF!

REPAY THEM??? Repay them for the damage they chose to create by walking past barriers, attacking the police and breaking into the United States Capitol building? I'm calling bullshit!
Trump embraces a crazed mob-king mentality. Supporters that believed his Big Lie on Jan 6 led to an insurrection on his behalf.
He freed from guilt & prison violent Jan 6ers. DOJ has announced they will settle w/ Babbitt's family. He'll pay them & others bc it supports his lie & cements grievance.
Is everyone crazy in Washington? Are we going to pay a group of people that were found guilty but “forgiven” by someone who doesn’t know or even read the constitution once. Is all the country having “the battered woman syndrome”?

Where's the restitution for the real victims?
What the unholy fuck?!
I wouldn't put it pass him to incite guerrilla warfare on our own soil, to our people.
They have degenerated down to the, "Lord of Flies" and they don't even realize it.
