It’s absurd to blame someone from using the power they have to protect people from harassment at the highest level that could literally ruin their lives. He literally called many traitors to their country who should be executed. But, please, do go on about dem hypocrisy.
Biden's pardons of the January 6th committee is in no way shape or form preemptive.
These people were specifically threatened multiple times by a man who used language like "the enemy within"
Congratulations to you for empowering the Maga movement by entrusting their misinformation.
The current president has put recent violent criminals on the street.
There is no comparison to any pardon action ever taken by a Democratic president

I'm not comparing the actions of Trump to Biden. Trump is a pile of shit who has freed violent offenders who tried to overthrow the capitol and Biden still doesn't get a pass just because he didn't do anything overtly as terrible. If all of these people truly think Trump is the end of democracy, then why did they just do the whole dog and pony show yesterday? This peaceful transfer of power narrative is all smoke and mirrors BS. Trump didn't show up 4 years ago and pretend he was a decent person because he's not, but yesterday, the peaceful transition of power was not as it seems. This is a power grab by a conman and his minions who are bankrolled by tech billionaires. That's what is disgusting, not me still having the audacity to challenge Biden's excess use of power to preemptively pardon family he claims is innocent. Both things can be wrong and still not be equal in scope and breadth.
If we want democracy to stand, then it should be allowed to play out through the processes set-up, but if we are so disparaged that those processes are corrupted, then none of this will matter anyway and is just stalling the inevitable end result.09/15/1998 & 09/16/1998, Mansfield, MA; 08/29/00 08/30/00, Mansfield, MA; 07/02/03, 07/03/03, Mansfield, MA; 09/28/04, 09/29/04, Boston, MA; 09/22/05, Halifax, NS; 05/24/06, 05/25/06, Boston, MA; 07/22/06, 07/23/06, Gorge, WA; 06/27/2008, Hartford; 06/28/08, 06/30/08, Mansfield; 08/18/2009, O2, London, UK; 10/30/09, 10/31/09, Philadelphia, PA; 05/15/10, Hartford, CT; 05/17/10, Boston, MA; 05/20/10, 05/21/10, NY, NY; 06/22/10, Dublin, IRE; 06/23/10, Northern Ireland; 09/03/11, 09/04/11, Alpine Valley, WI; 09/11/11, 09/12/11, Toronto, Ont; 09/14/11, Ottawa, Ont; 09/15/11, Hamilton, Ont; 07/02/2012, Prague, Czech Republic; 07/04/2012 & 07/05/2012, Berlin, Germany; 07/07/2012, Stockholm, Sweden; 09/30/2012, Missoula, MT; 07/16/2013, London, Ont; 07/19/2013, Chicago, IL; 10/15/2013 & 10/16/2013, Worcester, MA; 10/21/2013 & 10/22/2013, Philadelphia, PA; 10/25/2013, Hartford, CT; 11/29/2013, Portland, OR; 11/30/2013, Spokane, WA; 12/04/2013, Vancouver, BC; 12/06/2013, Seattle, WA; 10/03/2014, St. Louis.

With respect to "crying wolf," Trump actually did try to steal the election. He's on tape asking the Georgia Secretary of State to "find" the exact number of votes he needed to win the state. He signed off on submitting fake slates of electors in multiple states. He actually took those confidential documents and then continually obstructed the government's efforts to retrieve them. Just because a bunch of unethical, amoral fellow travelers in his party decided that the rule of law doesn't apply to him, it doesn't change the fact that he committed multiple crimes. Any objective person should be able to see this.
And any argument about equivalency with respect to pardons specifically is out the window now that Trump has pardoned a bunch of violent people who attacked the Capitol, including those who assaulted police officers.
My brother is former NYPD and there had never been a shooting of an unarmed black person by police where he didn't argue that no one can judge an officer because no one knows exactly what the officer was feeling and seeing in the moment they made the decision to pull the trigger. This same brother complained to me two weeks ago that the problem in this country is that no one is held accountable for their actions anymore, citing his belief that Black Lives Matter protesters were not punished for their acts of disorder and violence after the death of George Floyd. When I mentioned that this was an odd complaint to hear from a Trump voter in light of Trump's promise to pardon the January 6 convicts who assaulted police officers, he went into a rant about how the guy who shot Ashli Babbitt was a bad cop and everybody knows it. I realized he's so far down the rabbit hole that he's a lost cause. I can only imagine what my brother would have felt was justified if a BLM protester was climbing through a smashed window as part of a mob breaching the Capitol. It's a disgrace.
That's fine with me. I've got enough stupid in my life just processing GOP bullshit. I don't need a dumbass magat polluting my brain.
The same BIL that got laid off from his factory job in OH and then semi-retired because he couldn't find decent work and then about four years ago got another decent factory job that he still holds now. But yeah democrats have been real bad for him.
Whats that facility going up off 70 in Brookeville?
