I've seen it all now. Unless Thiessen and Pletka are just trolling. I don't know if what they are suggesting is more absurd or more obscene. But I'm leaning towards the latter.
After the initial reaction of repulsion by POT leadership to Jan. 6 the party of trump has come a very long way. Not for the better. After years of disinformation and dissembling of the events of the day, and the plot to get there, trumples have come full circle.
Biden should pardon Trump
More than a year ago in this space, we suggested that Biden should pardon Trump before the 2024 election. The threshold for the sitting president’s administration to indict the leading candidate of the opposing party should be extraordinarily high, we argued, and polls then showed that most Americans believed the charges were politically motivated.

Plainly speaking, it's a disgusting idea to pardon a man so clearly guilty of trying to subvert the Constitution to retain power. Moreover, it would make a mockery of the violent attacks Capital police officers suffered at the hands of trump's mob. Not to mention the gobsmacking shock millions of Americans experienced as they watched an assault on the republic live and on TV.
My personal opinion is the Wa Po should not have published such an insult to patriotic Americans and an affront to common decency. One wonders if they did because some members of the editorial board resigned after Bezos's decision not to endorse a presidential candidate after his paper had so frequently chronicled trump's authoritarian impulses in such granular detail. Hopefully, that was not a sign the media will be cowed under threat of retribution for speaking the truth about the trump admin.
