(translation; you'll be pardoned)

It's not the first time he has suggested that he will pardon someone if they violate the law.

As we know, he used the pardon power as a reward to at least one convicted criminal who possessed information that could have been used in a criminal trial against Trump.

To the Proud Boys, the Oath Keepers, to any extremists out there, that's music to their ears. If you commit crimes in the name of Trump you stand a good chance of being given a get out of jail free card.

Trump is celebrating his assault on Democracy

Pardoning those who carried out his plan is part of it

He is sending out an unambiguous message that lawlessness in his name is permitted if he gets re-elected.

It's not the first time he has suggested that he will pardon someone if they violate the law.

Um, I hate to point out the obvious, but that's really the only time someone would get a pardon...

Um, I hate to point out the obvious, but it is abhorrent for a presumed candidate for POTUS to be openly asserting he will pardon violent criminals because they support him.

You are the kind of person Biden was talking about the other day. The threats to democracy.

No, it's really not.

He said he would consider pardons if elected. That's a pretty clear, simple statement.

That said, I don't think he's the presumptive candidate at all...

“War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength.”― George Orwell.

Very true.

Yet you think Joe isn’t an authoritarian Fascist warmongering fool. Much like dumb Don.

No, it's really not.

He said he would consider pardons if elected. That's a pretty clear, simple statement.

That said, I don't think he's the presumptive candidate at all...

It's not abhorrent for a prez to pardon convicted criminals who beat police officers because those criminals were doing what the prez wanted them to do?

Very true.

Your belief that up is down is on the record.

No, it's not.

I don't have to agree with it, but it would be well within his rights...

No, it's not.

I don't have to agree with it, but it would be well within his rights...

I didn't say he doesn't have the authority to do it. But can you see what a horrible, dangerous message it sends to say he would pardon these violent criminals? Not only for that act but what for what it implies about what he might do if more people commit crimes in support of him.

 

[berg80]

Thank you. If only you too knew the truth.

Washington (CNN)Former President Donald Trump said Thursday he will "very, very seriously" consider full pardons for the rioters who breached the US Capitol on January 6, 2021, if he runs for reelection and wins.
"I will tell you, I will look very, very favorably about full pardons. If I decide to run and if I win, I will be looking very, very strongly about pardons. Full pardons," Trump said on Wendy Bell Radio Thursday, adding: "We'll be looking very, very seriously at full pardons because we can't let that happen. ... And I mean full pardons with an apology to many."

He wants violent, convicted criminals to receive apologies.

How many rioters in D controlled cities faced legal consequences during the Summer of George? I seem to recall prosecutors not charging these people. Did Joe support them or criticize them?
