Trump says he'll treat Jan. 6 rioters 'fairly' if reelected: 'If it requires pardons, we will give them pardons'

Defeated ISIS, lowered taxes, cleaned up our southern border and had illegal aliens deported, got rid of onerous rules and regulations on businesses and citizens, kept us out of wars,

* I don't care about ISIS.

* Any Republican would have trimmed taxes and done some deregulation. Apart from Bush One, it's what pretty much what all Republicans do.

* Trump tried to clean up the border. He helped. Not many deportations, though. Plenty of illegals entered while Trump was president. Granted, numbers have increased several fold under Biden.

* Trump kept us out of an Iran war. That's good. Obama and Bush did as well. All three were under pressure to intervene.

But Trump made a lot of mistakes, too.

* Filled his administration with the Kushners and Republican Deep State political hacks, rather than outsiders with an "outside the swamp" populist vision. (Which is what he promised; to drain the swamp.)

* Didn't do anything to reel in Big Tech deplatforming.

* Didn't do anything about election fraud.

* Didn't get very far on the wall. Or on anchor babies. Or Dreamers. Or on immigration in general. He slowed the flood, rather than reversed it. Which is what all Republicans do -- slow down, rather than halt or reverse, Democratic policies.

I would love to see how Ann Coulter could have possibly done better when surrounded by traitors throughout the entire DC apparatus.

Ann Coulter would have surrounded herself with better people.

Plus, she's not as thin-skinned as Trump. Not as eager to be liked. That's a plus.

[Deplorable American1776]

Another great speech and yes, the Jan 6 protesters should be pardoned!!

[protoconservative]

Legal entropy is in full effect, Get these folks to trial, the legal system will get tired of reviewing video of capitol police opening the door and letting people by.

The average protestor thought they were operating under BLM rules, that seems not to be the case.

Force federal prosecutors hands, they must present evidence and have the capitol police force prodvide the entire set of video evidence and all communications that day. That force does not want to release it camaera locations and communications methods, the lingering cases will be dropped quickly under “time served” is the best result that can be accomplished by the prosecutors.

If they subsequently vandalized the capitol, it is 30-60 days and one year probation so really “time served” for everyone without a federal record.

We all know how this works, by the organizations published history. Once all this is worked out, the FBI and Capitol police will sheepishly announce they had 300 people in the crowd that day working anti domestic terrorism by whipping the fervor, and that is not longer a good idea.

Do not let the CULT win (City Urban Liberal Types).

[BrandtMichaels]

You don’t know nearly as much as you think you do.

[Striperman]

In addition to pardons, reparations are in order, this has probably broke those financially in legal costs with some losing their jobs.

[Eleutheria5]

Hopefully, some leftard heads will explode. Maybe they’ll even try impeaching him again.

[Luircin]

Which I’m SURE she could have gotten past the swamp controlled Senate, right?

What a dumb comment.

[Luircin]

Good job, you redefine “anything” to exclude everything he accomplished.

Leftist word games. To be expected from such an obvious shill.

And assuming you are sincere, you wanted the President to be a dictator, get himself impeached, and let Judas Pence take office, right?

And you lay no blame on the GOP who stonewalled him every step of the way.

What a dumb comment, again.

[mass55th]

Can I have some of what you’re smoking?

[mass55th]

"* Didn't do anything about election fraud."

Congressional Republicans had 20 years to do something about voter fraud, and they didn't. I'm talking about the hanging chad fiasco in Florida in 2000, which led to lawsuits. We know how it ended, but nobody on the right, not even George W. Bush who the fraud was aimed at took the initiative to pursue eliminating voter fraud in all 50 states. That f-n party is dead to me.

[GOPJ]

Lots is gonna ‘get done’. Most of the world is sick of their corrupt ‘elites’ - and in our country that’s white liberal ‘elites’ and their violent PAID pets... black democrat thugs.

[Texas Eagle]

Grrrrr. I had to work yesterday. I didn't see the rally.

Did he take it a step further and point out that any violence or destruction that took place was the doing of pantyfa infiltrators aided and abbetted by Capitol Police?

[GOPJ]

Do you think ‘nothing will get done’ when democrats push prosecutors for office who favor criminals over citizens?

Or do you feel democrats will keep pulling that off?

[KTM rider]

LOL !

you would think I said your dog is stupid.

All I said was that a politician is stupid and we should be able to do better

Worship on

I got the same load when I said BUSH was a rat, nowadays almost everyone agrees and its safe to say

Trump is far from perfect

in fact the entire political system is crap

[KTM rider]

and then there's two kinds of Trump fans:

1. those who swoon and follow with blind faith

2. or those like me who face palm and think ; OMG is this the best we can do ! Trumps actions were great, but he wasn't much of a speaker and was surrounded by moles like Pompeo and Fauci and fell into the traps, his entire term was a coup

[StAnDeliver]

Why do people keep saying this?

• Capitol Tourists: Jan6

• First Arrests: Jan14

• Puppet-State Installed: Jan20

• So Trump is supposed to issue a blanket pardon when only a handful of people were even arrested in that final week from Jan14 to Jan20?

• Only one was charged with a felony before Jan20.

• The few others to have even been arraigned before Jan20, were cited for misdemeanors and released on promise-to-appear.

• Why do you think the alphabets slow-pedaled that first arrest until one week before Jan 20.

• Could it have had something to do with the fact that Trump's 2nd Impeachment was Jan13? By the way, that's not a question.

• Nanzi & Schuck. wanted. Trump. to. do. exactly. what. you. people. wanted. Trump. to. do. -- sign a blanket pardon during, or just after his 2nd Impeachment, so that the Senate Trial would disqualify Trump from holding future Federal office and thus bar any further run for the Presidency. They only needed 10 more votes and had Trump signed a blanket pardon you can be goddamn sure the Democrats would have gotten them.

[StAnDeliver]

See that gif?

So how many of those Capitol tourists were actually arrested on the day of Jan6?

Bueller? Buelllllllerrrrrr? Only 14.

Not many more by Jan20, and only one felony charge.

So the breadth of the tourists/offenses/eventual charges, was barely known by the time of the puppet-state White Hospice installation.

Asking Trump to gamble on a "blanket pardon" would have produced the unique sight of many of the DC Federal judiciary fighting each other on the courthouse steps to be the first to suspend/injunct/void Trump's "blanket pardon" the next day. The first Federal Judge to quietly propose a two-headed counter-attack would have gotten the job, a coin-flip between the down-low mustached hoodoo v Stone's-cold biotch:

• The first attack would have been to challenge a "blanket pardon" for lack of a “specificity requirement,” or iow, failing to enumerate the offenses pardoned. This is the exact tack the Left plainly stated that they fully pre-planned to do if Trump "blanket pardoned" his family or anyone in his Administration before Jan20.

• The second attack would have been the #MSM ginning a #Narrative to draw parallels between Ford's pardon of Nixon ruining Ford's chances in 1976 (a political strategy that sure as hell worked), and making certain any "blanket pardon" tar-babied Trump in identical fashion (and it would have).

[dragnet2]

and to top it off, Trump aint the sharpest tool in the shed

It's amazing how stupid people get to be billionaires. Brilliant comment!

[dragnet2]

Plus pardons take time to investigate. Pardon for who, what, where and why? On January 19 the FBI were still seeking to identify people. Nevertrumpers are trying to demoralize us.

You bet...This place is loaded with posers. Fact is many of those people had not even been charged or ID'd yet, and Trump was supposed to pardon all of them?

Total BS.
