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.

Basically the generic nazis with a group of SS. Surprise to no one, loathsome and scary to any with sense.

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.

[–] homes@piefed.world 5 points 1 day ago

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.

Yep, that's the point.
