The Trump Pardons of 1/6 participants if re-elected
Just another reason to make sure he never sees the inside of the White House again.
Trump promises pardons if re-elected
The fate of the Jan. 6 investigation hinges on the results of Tuesday’s election.
Trump has repeatedly said he would “absolutely” pardon Jan. 6 rioters and denounced the Justice Department’s investigation. His campaign has said those pardons would be made “on a case-by-case basis,” without getting into specifics of which of the more than 1,500 people charged in connection with Jan. 6 — over 570 of whom faced felony charges of assaulting or impeding law enforcement — could see their cases dropped. (That includes Kelley, who is still awaiting trial on charges of plotting to kill FBI agents; the campaign declined to comment on his case.)

Meanwhile, Trump has referred to the rioters, broadly, as “warriors,” “unbelievable patriots,” political prisoners ….
Jan. 6 defendants were charged after federal authorities identified them on tape brandishing or using firearms, stun guns, flagpoles, fire extinguishers, bike racks, batons, a metal whip, office furniture, pepper spray, bear spray, a tomahawk ax, a hatchet, a hockey stick, knuckle gloves, a baseball bat, a massive “Trump” billboard, “Trump” flags, a pitchfork, pieces of lumber, crutches and even an explosive device during the brutal attack that injured more than 140 police officers and left several individuals dead.

Finally, a red meat convention
No weenie words, no pointy headed bullshit. Red Meat from everyone! They just keep getting better.
Protesters arrested in congressional building ahead of Netanyahu address
Source: The Hill
he U.S. Capitol Police said it arrested a group of pro-Palestinian protestors who occupied the Cannon Rotunda on Tuesday, a day before Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is set to deliver an address to Congress. “We are arresting a group that is illegally demonstrating inside the Cannon Rotunda. Demonstrations are not allowed inside the Congressional Buildings,” the Capitol Police said in a post on the social platform X Tuesday afternoon............
Rep. Dan Kildee’s chief of staff, Mitchell Rivard, said in a statement that the Michigan Democrat’s office called U.S. Capitol Police for assistance due to large demonstrations in the office building.
“Hundreds of protesters outside the office became disruptive, violently beating on the office doors, shouting loudly, and attempting to force entry into the office,” Rivard said in the statement.

This does not help. it has bad idea written all over it. Plays right into the GOP Law and Order play book. The comparisons to 1/6 will start in 5,4,3,2,1..........
We are better than this
Does anyone remember the name Heather Heyer, she woke up one morning went to counter protest a bunch of Nazis and was killed. There was outrage here.
Yesterday, three people went to a political rally, one of them was shot to death and the other two were shot. There were jokes here, there was bullshit theory based on nothing here.
Political violence is never right, full stop. We are supposed to be an evolved democracy showing others how to grow into their democracies. We are failing.
This group has been very important to me for a long time, over 20 year, it helped me heal after 1/6, gave me a place to vent, to learn, to keep up with current events and fast moving stories.
The last 15 hours, we have failed. We have to get better. In the aftermath of 1/6, I wished I’ll on a lot of people. I still hope they are brought to Justice and sometimes was a little enthusiastic when they were brought to Justice.
Yesterday, someone tried to assassinate a former President of the United States, in the process one bystander was killed and we are making jokes, coming up with nonsense theories based on nothing. People, we must be better than this.
I am not saying people should not be talking about this but they should be factual, they should be compassionate, they should understand the gravity of the situation.
It amazes me, but a mere 248 years almost to the day for the American Experiment to fail
It was a great run, thankfully I was alive for some of it but my children and grandchildren will grow up in a radically different America. I now agree with Marjorie Taylor Greene. Split the country. Let democracy live on in Half the country.
Tim Scott
Just a guess, but, Senator Tim Scott endorsed Trump over the home state girl, Nikki Haley, asked his make pretend girlfriend to marry him, has back pedaled on his views on 1/6, and Trump says his VP will be someone we know. My prediction, Scott will be Trumps VP.
