    Insane that a misdemeanor possession charge I got nearly twenty years ago for a bit of weed in my pocket, despite having been expunged, can still be found on a county records search, and yet we can have these violent insurrectionist treasonous fucks walking free, now with records wiped clean.

    To me, this is a signal that any future insurrection that keeps trump family in power will not be prosecuted. So feel free to be a traitor to your country against your fellow countrymen.

      The mass pardons were the signal for that. The massive slush fund is a signal they’re gonna get paid for it. This is the signal that now all the criminal records of it are gone.

      That’s all of the signals.

        ALL THE SIGNALS ICE hired the J6 proud boys.

        While most of ICE is incompetent losers there is almost certainly units within ICE being equipped and trained to be Trumps personal militia.

            Almost as if less than 2 years ago MAGAs were tripping over themselves on tik tok to see who could do the best Nazi salute.

        And the worst part: to accept a pardon is to accept guilt. That means that all the people who pardoned are on the record admitting that they did the thing they were convicted of.

          But to all of them, getting a pardon means that they’re not guilty. Not just that, but that they were right to do what they did, and that they should do it again!

          Just try to explain that to them, I dare you.

    But the Internet never forgets. Tons of video evidence of their crimes is already preserved
