Damn right.

U.S. Capitol Police chief opposes pardoning #Jan6 rioters:

"What message does that send to police officers across this nation, if someone doesn't think that a conviction for an assault or worse against a police officer is something that should be upheld?" https://www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/2025/01/06/captitol-police-jan6-trump-pardons/

U.S. Capitol Police chief opposes pardons for assaults against police

Pardons would send a message that police don’t matter, and risk politicizing law enforcement of violent protests, Manger says on eve of the Jan. 6 anniversary.

If your whine about the Hunter pardon does not account for:
1) Trump withholding appropriated $$ to get dirt on Hunter
2) Rudy soliciting dirt from known RU spy for same
3) Barr setting up side channel to ingest that ...
5) After Trump calls Barr to demand more Hunter Biden prosecution, Barr ordering it to be shared w/Hunter team
6) 2 year evidence free impeachment effort built on this.
8) GOP House efforts to kill plea deal for political gain

Not rocket science. America's monopolies propagate oligarchs. Period.

"Stop repeating a common Kremlin narrative —tht the use of US weapons in Ukraine will lead to WWIII.

Putin’s Russia is in trouble, so they want to scare people like you. You're a puppet using the only weapon that Putin really intends to use: propaganda. And this weapon really weakens our democracies. Putin’s Russia wants to destroy Ukraine quietly, they want America to stay quiet. Not great, but quiet.” -Ukrainian boxer Wladimir Klitschko

This Thanksgiving, let’s remember to thank the people who helped make our feasts possible. 🥧🦃🍽️

'Elon is in trouble.

With the SEC. DOJ. NHTSA. OSHA. The FAA. The Delaware Chancery and more.

#ElonMusk knows #Trump is corrupt, and will weaponize or restrain govt agencies to help himself and his well-heeled friends. What he thinks about Trump’s business skills is irrelevant to this purchase.' -David W. Rudlin

Such a special day for both of them. #Trump
