Summary

Trump vowed to pardon individuals jailed for their role in the January 6 Capitol attack on his first day in office, reiterating his campaign promise.

Trump criticized the justice system and the conditions faced by those detained, many of whom pleaded guilty.

Over 1,500 people have been charged in connection with January 6.

Trump also discussed empowering his incoming Attorney General Pam Bondi and FBI Director Kash Patel to investigate political rivals.

President Biden is reportedly considering preemptive pardons for key figures targeted by Trump.

    If I were independently wealthy I would no shit move to another country as soon as I could possibly get my family out. This is going to be a rough four years, at an absolute, very optimistic, minimum.

      Eh it’ll be two years before he loses control of congress, and he’s also very, very stupid to the point where he will have a hard time accomplishing his worst ideas. Of course there will be lots of bad decisions and people dying of those bad decisions, but that’s just what we call America.

    I hope it’s either written so broadly that it covers everyone in the US on that day or it’s so narrow that it only applies to like 6 people. Because that would really fit the theme of the shit show that is combining

      Pardoning your son because he had a cross hair on him because he is your son is an abuse of power, no doubt. But corrupt? Nah. Just nepotism.

      Pardoning people who attacked the capitol on behalf of your attempts to overturn an election you lost is blatant corruption.

      While both are wrong, it’s equally wrong to try and equate them.

      No they’re not equally bad. That’s one of the dumbest fucking things I’ve read in a long time.

      How is throwing an apple any different to throwing a grenade?

      The potential for damage.

      I had a similar thought. I assume there was a /s missing from the end here, but the contrast with the recent pearl grabbing about Biden is kind of hilarious (and sad).

    He’s a terrorist. A literal terrorist. He wants absolute control through fear, intimidation, and violence.

    He wants to deport “illegal” immigrants because they’re allegedly “violent criminals,” but is about to pardon the white men & women who violently tried to overthrow the US government.

    I hate it here.

    The more justice is denied, the more people will turn to vigilantism. The two attempts against Trump (so far) and the United Health CEO assassination are merely examples.

    Trump is absolutely inciting violence with this act.
