Pardoning affluent criminals has become standard operating procedure in the USA.

But for the victims, it really adds insult to injury.

As Walkinshaw says here: not only does the perpetrator go free, but suddenly the victims lose the right to claims that have been awarded to them in court.

The fraudsters give part of the claim to Trump and go free.

Pardoning criminals results in double injustice.

Here's a tip for you #MissKitty. Do your research from a #state #crime level. The #feds can't touch that. No #pardoning the state crime. Where there's a federal crime, there's usually a state crime, so evidence of one should usually lead to the other. Just keeping it in the focus box, right Kitty?

Seems another reason was the same as the previous reason, the #ATC going on sick leave and or β­•stress related errors and airline disruptions

#Trump has said, "I am your retribution" as #Trump1 that meant, he will help the #MAGA voters to improve their situation

In #Trump2 that means, he will go after and or work on his personal projects, #Pardoning #pardon his #Jan6 organizers comes to mind

β­•Seems some MAGA voters stayed home last Tue.

As #Trump accelerates his #authoritarianism, #USPol could lose #democracy status, says global watchdog.

It refers to ongoing events in the U.S. as unprecedented, mentioning Trump #pardoning 1,500 #criminals who supported him; #firing independent agency #watchdogs without process; #purging apolitical #police and #military brass; #ignoring #laws; and his unilaterally deleting federal programs, and even a whole organization, created by U.S. Congress

ANALYSIS | U.S. could lose democracy status, says global watchdog | CBC News

Possibly defying a court order. Urging his Justice Department to prosecute nemeses. Repeatedly calling the media 'illegal.' Declaring a predecessor's pardon null and void. U.S. President Donald Trump has done these things in the past few days.

Trump & The MAGA Movement as Anti-Christ: A Handbook for the 2024 Election β€” Welcome from Matthew Fox

The archetype of the Antichrist has been mostly invoked by fundamentalist Christians.  This book turns the tables by holding it up to help name the current battle of democracy vs. theocracy and of lovers of the Earth vs. deniers of climate change in our time.  This powerful archety

Welcome from Matthew Fox

Investigative Journalist #PaloaRamos was on "The Weekend" talking about #OrangeHitler #pardoning those 1500+ #Jan6 #terrorists.

She asked one of them: "You said during your sentencing that you regretted what you had done and said if you could, you'd take it all back. Do you still feel that way?"

He responds, "No. Not at all. I'd do it all over again, and if asked, I'd go again tomorrow." πŸ€¦β€β™‚οΈ 😞

#MtP showed a #poll where only 21% of people supported #pardoning most of the #Jan6 #terrorist.

"Most"

I wonder what the poll numbers would be for a #BLANKET #pardon of ALL of the #rioters who attacked the #Capitol and assaulted police officers? #LEO #BackTheBlueExcept #GeneralisimoDonald
