What do you think about Trump comments saying he'd pardon J6 insurrectionists?

Despite a burst of pardons and commutations in his last hours in office, Donald Trump used his executive clemency power less frequently than nearly every other president since the turn of the 20th century, according to a Pew Research Center analysis of U.S. Justice Department data.

Trump granted 237 acts of clemency during his four years in the White House, including 143 pardons and 94 commutations. Only two other presidents since 1900 – George W. and George H.W. Bush – granted fewer acts of clemency than Trump.

His predecessor, Barack Obama, granted clemency 1,927 times over the course of eight years in office, the highest total of any president going back to Harry Truman. Obama’s total was skewed heavily toward commutations (1,715) instead of pardons (212).

Means nothing.
He is just desperately, pandering to his MAGA flock.

He also said he would pull out of Syria...twice.
Pay off the national debt in 8 years.
Grow the economy at a minimum of 4%.
Pull out of Afghanistan.
And on and on.

His word means nothing...just like all politicians.

Former President Trump’s promise to grant pardons to the rioters who stormed the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, is running into strong opposition from Senate Republicans.
Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), one of Trump’s closest allies, told The Hill that granting pardons to Jan. 6 protesters is “a bad idea.”
“Pardons are given to people who admit misconduct, rehabilitate themselves. They’re not supposed to be used for other purposes,” he said.
Other Republican senators are joining Graham in criticizing Trump’s promise to pardon the Jan. 6 protesters as inappropriate.
“I don’t think potential candidates should hold pardons out as a promise,” said Sen. Kevin Cramer (R-N.D.), who is usually a reliable Trump ally. “It’s somewhat problematic for me on a moral level and an ethical level — sort of like promising other giveaways to particular individuals.
“I prefer avoiding those kinds of things,” he said.
Sen. Mike Rounds (R-S.D.) said he wouldn’t support granting pardons to people convicted of crimes because of their actions on Jan. 6.
“If he were elected, he would have a constitutional ability to do it,” he said of Trump’s promise of pardons. “I would disagree with it. I think there was insurrection and I think these folks need to be punished.
“I was there. This was truly violent. People were injured, people were killed. I have very little mercy for the individuals that were involved in that activity that day,” Rounds added.
Senate Republican Whip John Thune (S.D.) said people who committed crimes on Jan. 6 must face the consequences of their actions.
“The only people that get pardoned are people who are charged with crimes. If they were charged with crimes, they ought to be prosecuted like everybody else,” he said. “The rule of law applies. If people broke laws, they need to be held accountable.”
Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Utah), who voted last year to impeach Trump on the charge of inciting an insurrection on Jan. 6, said pardoning people who invaded the Capitol to stop Biden’s election would be wrong.
“The Jan. 6 riot was an attack on the temple of democracy, and the people who violated the law, attacked our law enforcement and besmirched our nation’s Capitol should be prosecuted according to the law, and certainly should not be pardoned,” he said. “It’s a grossly inappropriate comment to make.”

You say insurrectionists we say political prisoners. Free the political prisoners and arrest the state terrorists who murdered Ashli Babbitt and Rosanne Boyland!

Lindsay Graham is not an ally of the America First movement, he gets on Hannity and says one thing and did nothing when in power to bring the coup plotters behind Spygate to justice.

You can't love America if you don't support democracy.
You can't love America if you support the overthrow of a legitimately-elected government.
And you can't love America if you hate more than half of the Americans who live here.

Sorry, Shitsy. You hate America if you hate all Americans who disagree with your version of America as an authoritarian bastion of hate, fascism, racism and xenophobia.

Sorry Shitsy. Once again, you lose.

We don't support the unelected authoritarian Biden junta brought to power by an overtly illegitimate and unconstitutional election in which the Governors and State Secretaries of several key swing states unilaterally usurped the plenary power of the state Legislatures to set voting laws and regulations in order to eliminate all voter chains of custody through unsolicited universal vote by mail, elimination of signature verification requirements, legalized ballot harvesting, and widespread use of unsecured drop boxes.

Your fascist dictator Biden declared more than 70 million Americans enemies of the state for voting the wrong way you laughable faggot.

Oh, what a cute, little manifesto, Shitsy. What radical far right website did you copy it from? Qanutjob? Proud Pussies? 3 PerShitters? Oath Shitters?
Which one do you belong to, Shitsy?
And why don't you just admit you hate most Americans because they don't swallow the same bullshit conspiracy theories you do.
You don't want a democracy. You want an authoritarian dictatorship with Trump at the helm.
