Me neither. Not expecting anything. But I was delighted that Trump said that last night, even if it was sort of an afterthought.
I was traveling and wasn’t able to watch the live feed of the Trump event, but I followed it through some text sources (including FR). And then I reviewed it this morning.
I know there are a few folks in Congress who have said something, and I think even a Senator or two has made some mild murmurings.
But everybody should be upset about this persecution of demonstrators, most of whom were held for various periods of time without even being charged (violation of habeas corpus) and then charged with weird little things because the prosecutors had to save face.
How would the left feel if suddenly things changed and they all ended up in this situation? The Constitution was meant to protect everybody, even people you don’t like, but they don’t seem to get that.
So even though it wasn’t much, I was happy to see that he said this. I think I’ll send a few bucks his way and mention this in my email.
I know at least some of the people arrested felt they were invited into the capitol by the Capitol Police holding the doors open for them. So, from my way of thinking they are totally innocent. (Some are grandmothers of ladies in their 70s).
The conditions they are being held in are appalling. Because the Biden regime and their media allies have been falsely accusing people of being "White Supremacists" (there is that libelous tag being applied again), several of the detainees have reported that they have been taunted and beaten by the African-American guards. One lost an eye, another teeth. So it goes in Biden's gulag.
So it's a complete outrage in my book, and Trump is *very* late to the table. These are his supporters, who followed his request, and are now being tormented! He should have pardoned them all, instead he was pardoning financial criminals and reformed drug dealers.
Why are you sending him money? He has plenty. Are you hoping he runs again? While I enthusiastically supported and voted for him twice, I personally think he's had his shot and hope someone else gets the GOP nomination in 2020.
Trump turns everything into the Trump show. It was amusing at times, frustrating at other times, but never boring. But for all his tough talk (who didn't love him taking down CNN or Jim Acosta) we need a President who is going to accomplish things for our side, for US. My take is he just wasn't very good at the mechanics of the job, despite good intentions.
In my book that doesn't justify a 3rd nomination. Let DeSantis have a shot. He's actually governing in a way that benefits normal, conservative citizens in his state.
