We knew it was going to be bad, but sweet Jesus he pardoned all of the insurrectionists from the insurrection that he inspired…
Trump ends all January 6 cases with pardons, commutations and dismissals
In one fell swoop, President Donald Trump ended all of the nearly 1,600 cases stemming from the January 6 US Capitol attack.
He signed a proclamation Monday pardoning nearly all 1,270 people convicted in the January 6 attack, directing the Justice Department to drop about 300 pending cases, and ordering the release of a small group of 14 other defendants who were charged in the most serious sedition cases. (Trump misspoke earlier tonight when he said the pardon would cover about 1,500 people.)
These actions go farther than many — including Trump’s own advisers and GOP allies — were expecting. Vice President JD Vance and House Speaker Mike Johnson said in recent days that Trump should only pardon nonviolent offenders.
But the proclamation he signed, granting a “full, complete and unconditional pardon,” covers roughly 600 people with felony convictions for assaulting police officers or impeding police during a riot.
That group includes convicted rioters like Julian Khater, who assaulted US Capitol Police Officer Brian Sicknick and later pled guilty to assaulting officers with a dangerous weapon; Devlyn Thompson, who hit a police officer with a metal baton; and Robert Palmer, a Florida man who attacked police with a fire extinguisher, a wooden plank and a pole.
Trump commuted the sentences for 14 of far-right extremists from the Oath Keepers and Proud Boys who were convicted or charged with seditious conspiracy. The commutation will pave the way for their imminent release from prison, though the clemency isn’t as far-reaching as a pardon.
The order also directs the US attorney general to dismiss all pending cases, which would cover about 300 cases that are still pending in court.
…even the white supremacists and far right extremists who used violence have all been pardoned.
For an insurrection he himself started.
FFS.
If you are still being an apologist to this kind of abuse of power, you are the threat to democracy, not us.
Attempting to compare this to Biden’s last minute Pardons is as credible as comparing the violence of Hamas to the violence of the IDF and pretending that is comparable.
Trump pardoning Insurrectionists from his own insurrection is a dark day for Democracy and you MAGA apologists know it, and in a terribly sick way, celebrate it.
Increasingly having independent opinion in a mainstream media environment which mostly echo one another has become more important than ever, so if you value having an independent voice – please donate here.
Well, I must admit, that Trump supporters can be really, bloody inept at times. Why? Because none of them, none of em brought a bloody firearm to the so-called insurrection! Still, we believe the insurrection narrative that our morally proficient politicians and their MSM echo chambers have spun, nonetheless.
And some of the sentencing would have made Judge Jeffreys proud.
Completely incorrect, there were 6 firearm offenses brought against insurrectionists.
As a matter of interest AO where did you get your information from the was no guns, not one of them? We’re you actually there or did you get yours from a proud boys website.I know Trump told his Muppet followers like yourself there were no guns and you clearly swallowed his crap.
So no Nathan it wasn’t a good point.
Fact check these things for yourself.

AO speaks from his own eco chamber without providing any evidence to support his ” theory”.
You are correct. Two people did in fact carry a firearm, three if we include an off duty DEA agent. Where did I get my information from, I can’t say, could have been a leftie source, could have been a rightie source, could be the many more in between.
Nonetheless, you’ll find that the others charged were charged either for acts committed the day after or acts committed outside of this so-called insurrection, but within the district itself, on Jan 6. The links I’ll provide here, ‘drill down links’ from your Reuters link, will point all this out, if you care to bother. Meaning, not only is this whole thing murky, but this firearm point alone is far from settled given what I have uncovered from your one link alone.
Most importantly, as far as my critique of the MSM is concerned. You’ll find that two out of three of your MSM links do not substantiate anything, whatsoever, in regards to possession of firearms on the Jan 6th, so-called insurrection, while the one link that does substantiate this point, still can’t even get their story 100% accurate, despite this. So, again, I’m wrong on the firearm point, but right about the MSM as your links patently show.
The (firearm) links that matter –

“Because none of them, none of em brought a bloody firearm to the so-called insurrection! ”
That’s an outright lie, I’ve viewed video of Jan 6 insurrectionists with automatic weapons surveilling the Capitol from a position up a tree.
Several convictions resulted for gun offenses during the attempted coup.
AO, you are POS.
Fair enough, got that wrong, shyt happens – you’re right on that count too. Geez. Still, I can’t see any evidence of your second sentence in these justice links, so…never mind.

This is very bad shit, Trump’s action however may not be popular with some Police Dept.s, I say some because various US Police precincts are virtually proud boys in uniform.
Hope enough people hang on to vote in the mid terms, though those non MAGAs wealthy enough to leave may well do so. The USA is now officially an authoritarian country.
The rule of law is so politicized in the USA. While Trump pardons these “insurgents” Biden preemptively pardons his whole regime and family from prosecution.
The smell of corruption lingers.
We don’t agree on a number of things, but on this we do 100%.
“The issuance of these pardons should not be mistaken as an acknowledgment that they engaged in any wrongdoing, nor should acceptance be misconstrued as an admission of guilt for any offense,” Biden said in a statement on the pardons.”
What an unmitigated load of horse shit.
So we are ignoring that the outgoing President pardoned his family and a number of political ‘friends’ who apparently ‘committed no crime’?
Correct and you would too when the incoming president stated the retribution he will inflict will destroy the Biden family and his support. Meanwhile Trump frees rapists, white supremacists and murderers.
And your only go to is to attack someone who has pardoned some who have not been sent to prison?
Are you married to Zelda because she’s bat shit crazy?
Which rapists and murderers?
The ones responsible for the 6 deaths observer, were you asleep at the time?
What they raped and then murdered people? I did miss that. That’s ok though because you’ll be able to show us.
Lazy, does your mother still make your bed. I tire of those that can’t do their own research. You remind me of Bob the thick.
Not sure I’ll ask my wife if her username is Zelda – maybe…… Back to the topic at hand therefore the old mantra applies ‘it’s ok when the left do it’
Look on the bright side only 1,458 days of a Trump presidency left.
It’s a pardonfest, Joe was super busy pardoning all manner of people before he left, from the incarcerated to the innocent apparently (i.e. family, those who aren’t guilty of anything but need protection just in case). Why didn’t Joe free these people at the start of his presidency? It just looks like a grotesque publicity stunt.
Lets face it the USA is the corrupt Roman empire on steroids.
Now let’s sit back and watch the dumb supremacists run riot after all most of them are only have an educated age of a 10 to 13 year old according to recent published research.
Hell even our 10 to 13 year olds are better educated than an average USA adult.
The Usa is a corrupt failed state.
Zelda will you stop telling people I have anything to do with this!
I gave you bastards freewill. If you use it to fuck yourselves that is your problem!
God who doesn’t exist – neither does free will.
Trump is the most corrupt and incompetent President of the US ever – this includes a litany of morons since Carter (Reagan, Bush 1 & 2, Clinton). The average American voter has doomed the USA to rapid decline. Not long now before Trump announces that Russia, Iran, and North Korea are now USA’s allies and all else are enemies … this has started by his constant undermining of current allies (especially Canada and UK). But he does know how to sack people on TV shows!
Open season in the US – just wear your American flag and MAGA hat and go full send. Wait for the blowback from Antifa. The place is going to riot and burn – again.
