I'm not gonna lie, I think all the maudlin hand-wringing about political violence, injured murderpigs, and "eroding democracy" in a rigged oligarchy owned and operated by rich fascists regardless of which party they claim to support, is a bit much. Despite their borderline fanatical adherence to polite fictions however, the media *is* correct in pointing out that Trump's January 6th pardons are a very ominous sign; they just lack either the language, or the courage to properly explain why.

'Rewarding Political Violence,' Felon Trump Pardons Jan. 6 Insurrectionists
"This move not only erases accountability for one of the darkest days in our nation's history but also emboldens far-right extremists and grants them free license to continue their ideological reign of terror."
"These are not patriots, these are traitors who will now be free to recruit others into what Trump views as his own personal militia," he asserted. "By granting clemency to these individuals, who sought to overturn the peaceful transfer of power, Trump is signaling that political violence and the rejection of democratic norms are acceptable tactics in service to his authoritarian agenda. This is a direct threat to the foundations of our democracy and the safety of our communities."
Although it's not properly taught in Pig Empire history class, the reality is that every single "successful" fascist movement in history has relied on the violence of "irregulars" or "Brownshirts" to maintain control and further a fascist political and social agenda that is invariably unpopular and would be resisted by the populace at large, without the threat of force to keep them in line. It's literally "how to install a fascist dictatorship 101." What Trump is doing here is making it 100% clear to fascists that the ruling party is totally fine with whatever violent crimes they commit as long as they serve the purposes of the larger American fascist movement. And he's not the only one; racialized fascist violence has already received strong support and similar pardons in places like Texas, New York, and even at one point California (although that was ultimately unsuccessful and cost a judge his position on the bench.)
If you want Brownshirts, this is how you create them; and for all the whining about a democracy that isn't real and murderpigs who side with the nazis the vast majority of the time, that's the real danger here. Letting 1,500 fascist rioters go for their part in a coup attempt isn't about the rule of law - it's an open signal that Trump WANTS these freaks to commit violence on his behalf, and will prevent the American police state from doing anything about that if necessary. This doesn't end here.

#abortion #Trump #pardons
I just got word that Trump has pardoned clinic-attacking forced-birth extremist Lauren Handy. She appears to be the de facto leader of PAAU, so called "progressive anti-abortion uprising."
NO pardons for the FL 4 of course, the heroes prosecuted under the same FACE act for spraypaint graffiti at a fake clinic in FL.
At this point there is the menacing possiblithy that any of our folks taken prisoner especially by Trump's Federal regime could be in for the duration.

One of the cops beaten by Trump's J6 insurgents (its not a riot when it's planned) has gone on record saying he fears the pardoned insurgents may target him personally. He testified against the J6ers at trial and now fears violent retribution from them.

It's almost funny to see this going on while Trump just gushes over all that "back the blue" stuff and is working overtime to recruit local cops to round up migrants. This after his SA style, beer hall brawling thugs used flagpoles with thin blue line flags still on them to beat up other cops on Jan 6, 2021.
Like the corrupt salesman he was and is, Trump talks out of both sides of his mouth.

#trumps #Jan6 #Pardons Come As a “Betrayal” to Former #Capitol #Police
Aquilino Gonell, a former Capitol Police sergeant who earlier this month recounted in a New York Times essay being “beaten and struck by raging rioters all over my body with multiple weapons until I was covered in my own blood,” posted on X on Sunday:
“The law and order dude is about to pardon those who assaulted the police. Collectively more than 40 rioters attacked me that day.”

If only this were true! … We can now speak #truth, right here, there, and everywhere! Without fear of #TrumpVirus retribution?
Nah… just kidding. This (link to article below) is what Trump actually did, his “focus”, and priorities being in celebrating Sir #TrumpVIrus & his #cult of #disinformation #media following of #Jan6 #felons & #truth deniers.

J20 alert: Trump has stated on a "Meet the Press" interview this morning that he plans to pardon J6 defendents including those that pled guilty on his first day in office.
abcnews(dot)go(dot)com/Politics/trump-promises-pardon-jan-6-rioters-day/story?id=116577153
This means the Proud Boys, Oath Keepers, and 3%ers will be getting back their most violent leadership elements as soon as they can recover from prison.
On top of that, Trump is threatening those who investigated J6 and other political enemies with going to prison themselves. He has also made prior statements about plans to "root out the communists, Marxists, fascists and the radical left thugs" whom he called "vermin." Note that he has has one prior for siccing the National Guard on protester (June 2020 during the Uprising) and one for siccing Federal cops on protesters (Portland July 2020).
Under those conditions we cannot bet on getting any arrestees at J20 protests back AT ALL.
43 days to go, this is getting real...

Jan 6 rioters to be pardoned?
I ams are they are hoping but whether Trump’s useful fools can expect any loyalty from a man who clearly has little to anyone I wonder. After all someone might do the same to him.
