Summary
Trump vowed to pardon individuals jailed for their role in the January 6 Capitol attack on his first day in office, reiterating his campaign promise.
Trump criticized the justice system and the conditions faced by those detained, many of whom pleaded guilty.
Over 1,500 people have been charged in connection with January 6.
Trump also discussed empowering his incoming Attorney General Pam Bondi and FBI Director Kash Patel to investigate political rivals.
President Biden is reportedly considering preemptive pardons for key figures targeted by Trump.
Hows this any different than pardoning ur own son? Arnt both equally bad abuses of power.
Pardoning your son because he had a cross hair on him because he is your son is an abuse of power, no doubt. But corrupt? Nah. Just nepotism.
Pardoning people who attacked the capitol on behalf of your attempts to overturn an election you lost is blatant corruption.
While both are wrong, it’s equally wrong to try and equate them.
No they’re not equally bad. That’s one of the dumbest fucking things I’ve read in a long time.
One group being pardoned killed people. The other didn’t.
How is throwing an apple any different to throwing a grenade?
The potential for damage.
I had a similar thought. I assume there was a /s missing from the end here, but the contrast with the recent pearl grabbing about Biden is kind of hilarious (and sad).
They’re both trash.
Blue trash without a spine
Red trash who’s greed never ends
Both deserve the landfill. Both are enemies of freedom and liberty.
Hey, Democrats. You do have one leg up on Republicans. You’re trash AND losers 😂
Amen brother
