The rogue actions of this regime should not be thought of as being limited to its actions in international affairs. Like with the war crimes it has committed. It has gone rogue domestically as well in more ways that one can count. From the illegal deportations denying due process to deportees, the daily violation of the Epstein File Transparency Act, the hideously corrupt, unwarranted pardons, the appointments of unqualified US Attorneys to facilitate the prosecution of political enemies, ICE's violations of court orders, it's been overwhelming.
There is a wall of denial trump fans have erected to deal with threads like this. It's designed to be impenetrable. In psychiatry it's called a defense mechanism. They've been effective to a frightening degree.
Lists like the one I wrote may be the easiest thing of all to turn away from because they don't include granular detail. They are dismissed holistically, reflexively, before the ramifications of any one item can be given the consideration it is due. So.......consider this.
The People Trump Pardoned Are on a Crime Spree
Two 12 year olds were sexually molested by a "patriot" trump pardoned.
Just months after President Trump's mass pardons for Jan. 6 rioters freed him from prison, a Florida man repeatedly sexually abused two middle-school aged children.
On Thursday, the man, Andrew Paul Johnson, was sentenced to life in prison, after a Florida jury found him guilty of five criminal charges, including molestation, lewd and lascivious exhibition and transmission of material harmful to a minor.
Has it sunk in at all? Will you allow it to?
trump's followers aren't the only ones who employ defense mechanisms. My guess is trump does too. How else could he avoid apologizing to those kids and their parents for pardoning the man who went on to commit a sexually violent crime against them? The kind of terrible experience some people are damaged by for life.
If not apologize, at least show some contrition for the consequences of the decision to pardon members of his mob. Nope.
On the fifth anniversary of the pro-Trump mob attack on the Capitol, the Trump administration created a new page on the official White House website that represented the president’s most brazen bid yet to rewrite the history of the Jan. 6 riot with false claims aimed at absolving him of responsibility.
The site blames Capitol Police officers, who defended lawmakers that day, for starting the assault; Democrats, who were the rioters’ main targets, for failing to prevent it; and former Vice President Mike Pence, who rejected falsehoods about the 2020 election, for allowing the results to be certified.
This kind of behavior is so far outside the norm that it challenges anyone's ability to process it. Consequently, trump devotees choose not to process it at all. Accusing me and others of having TDS is a means to making that choice. It's a mental escape hatch. A way of shirking personal responsibility for enabling trump to do the horrible things he has done. To individuals, to the country, and to the world.

The People Trump Pardoned Are on a Crime Spree
- On March 5, a court in Florida sentenced Andrew Paul Johnson to life in prison for molesting a 12-year-old boy and a girl of the same age. To keep the children quiet, Mr. Johnson is said to have promised to bequeath to them part of a Jan. 6 restitution payment from the federal government that he claimed he would receive. He used the online gaming platforms Discord and Roblox to reach out to the children after Mr. Trump freed him from prison. On Jan. 6, Mr. Johnson entered the Capitol through a broken window and accosted police officers.
