He ain't nothing but a mob boss... getting out his hitmen

[existentialhangover]

The MSM spin on everything is NAUSEATING. 3 mins of news is enough for one day.

[dreb]

Most of the comments on here are so absurdly unhinged, we’re all dumber for having to see them.

[New_Hope_Farms]

Its a BIZARRE and, i believe, extremely dangerous precedent indeed

[Aceshooting]

It’s one thing to give blanket pardons on your way out, it’s completely another thing to do it on your way in. Especially when one person you’re pardoning is the creator of a dark web exchange site that facilitates international drug & human trafficking.

A felon pardoning felons! We no longer have to obey the law?

[Tux-YT]

The people were literally backed into corner while being pepper sprayed, how would anyone react in that situation?

[skooter]

We went through a whole year of this BS for a whole summer! No one was convicted.

[DragonLord]

How about the fact that prosecutors only have 72 hours to file charges after an arrest and many of these people were being held in jail for almost 3 years with NO charges filed, not to mention the fact that not one person has been charged with "insurrection"... Well?

Federal judges have proved that they don’t have a leg to stand on when it comes to being trustworthy…

[just_breathe]

If I was one of the pardoned J6, I would be angry that I had to sit in jail waiting for this pardon when trump had no problem doling out pardons to his rich pals before he left in 2020.

[AttackOnTitanlover]

If you’re parting these people from in January 6, then I don’t know you let violent people get away with it

[TheWorstChristian]

"Federal judges slammed into prison" would be a better headline

[remisacooper]

If the judge can't condemn Biden for pardoning his family members and others before them being brought before the court, I wondered why he is condemning Trump for his own

[Emanuel]

I hope they slammed Biden for his pardons as well. Bunch of clowns. 🤡

[rayjimenez]

Why didn't they do this to Biden's pardons of his family, Fauci, Miley, Cheney, Schaffer and others. Damn it's still going on? When will this stop? Always Trump, Trump, Trump!

[peggymurphy]

There is no use in arguing with Trump worshippers about this situation. Everyone will reap what they sow. Be still and let God fight your battles. God knows the truth about each and every one of us.

[hectormarillan]

Everything is so stupid the people with the mic 🎤 have the power to make the decision 😢😢

[kathystewart]

Too bad this is happening. Truth any way.

[joshpressley]

Everyone mad trump showing his privilege and all those like him they can do anything. Without any repercussions
