Republicans Struggle to Defend Trump Freeing Rioters Who Assaulted Cops
Republican senators are struggling to defend Trump's blanket pardon of Jan. 6 defendants, including those who committed violent crimes.
For all the racket raised by Republicans accusing the Biden administration of allowing violent criminals to run rampant in American cities, there is little outrage over the president’s decision to release hundreds of Jan. 6 rioters.

User 'Olga Lautman' says, "Just in case people don't fully grasp it. The pardoning of insurrectionists is Trump's way of building loyalty from militias and domestic terrorists to carry out unofficial acts for him."
We must understand the signals and the plans. History teaches us these.

I love this so much!
At the inauguration, Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson wore a distinctive collar adorned with cowrie shells, which are believed to offer protection from evil in African traditions.
This choice mirrors the late Justice Ginsburg’s practice of using collars to convey a message.

Big Tech billionaires had a front row seat at Trump's inauguration. They were seated in front of Trump's own cabinet. Tells you everything you need to know.

Donald Trump is wearing a suit. The text reads: "Special Counsel Report Says Trump Would Have Been Convicted in Election Case." Photo by Doug Mills/The New York Times.
The evidence in the case of Donald Trump illegally seeking to cling to power after losing the 2020 election would have been sufficient to convict him, had his 2024 win not made it impossible for the prosecution to continue, Jack Smith, the special counsel, said in a final report. nyti.ms/4aeAn7t

A tweet by Karen Piper (@PiperK) reads: "There it is. Trump would have been convicted of 'conspiracy to defraud the United States' and 'conspiracy to deprive citizens of voting rights' if he had not been elected to be president. The U.S. is in totally uncharted territory." Below the tweet is an excerpt from a document that discusses the Department's view that the Constitution prohibits the indictment and prosecution of a sitting President, regardless of the gravity of the crimes charged, and indicates that sufficient evidence existed to obtain a conviction at trial.
U.S. voters elected a felon and prevented further prosecutions of him for his many crimes. Heaven help us all.

Today, MAGA is losing it over this video of Pete Hegseth SLAMMING Trump.
“All bluster, very low substance… he’s an armchair tough guy. He said that John McCain is not a war hero yet he sought his own five military deferments.”
RT to ruin Trump’s day!

It is reprehensible that the GOP is looking to put conditions on aid to California and play politics by attaching aid to the debt ceiling, just so they can give tax breaks to billionaires. This is extortion and it cannot stand.
