Democrats hold rage session over Trump's Jan. 6 pardons
Axios ^ | 1/22/25 | Andrew Solender

Posted on 01/22/2025 11:35:44 AM PST by DallasBiff

Whatever sufferance President Trump may have enjoyed from congressional Democrats evaporated instantly just hours after his inauguration when he pardoned most Jan. 6 defendants.

Why it matters: Even moderate Democrats who had hoped against hope that they could work with the self-styled dealmaker say the move bodes poorly.

"We do want to work together, and hopefully that's what will happen," said Rep. Greg Landsman (D-Ohio), a leading member of the bipartisan Problem Solvers Caucus.

But "between Trump's very grim [inaugural] speech and ... the fact he ended the day by releasing hundreds of violent criminals back into our communities, I think he has some work to do."

George Orwell predicted this nearly 80 years ago in his book 1984.

The two minutes of hate.

Are they believing their own lies or are they just putting on another show?

Seems like a play to give their nut base convenient talking points. It’s like a drug for them.

I thought they’d reprise ‘dark’ to describe the inaugural address, but it looks like ‘grim’ is their word for this one.

Screw their Marxist hate. I am sick of their crap. We have put up with these 1960’s radical Communist Marxist’s pigs since then. To hell with them. Let them roll in their own puke. We have had to listen to their puke all these decades. Funny how the worm has turned. America has had enough of their crap. It is a new Golden Age of American Independence. Let freedom ring.

“We must hate. Hatred is the basis of communism. Children must be taught to hate their parents if they are not communists.”

— Lenin

“It is impossible to defeat an enemy unless one has learned to hate him heart and soul.”

— Stalin

“Hatred fosters vigilance and an uncompromising attitude toward the enemy, and leads to the destruction of everything that prevents Soviet peoples from building a happy life. The teaching of hatred for the enemies of the toilers enriches the conception of Socialist humanism, by distinguishing it from sugary and hypocritical ‘philanthropy’.”

— Small Soviet Encyclopedia (Moscow, 1947, vol. XI, p. 1045)

“We hate Christianity and Christians. Even the best of them must be considered our worst of enemies. They preach love of one’s neighbor and mercy, which is contrary to our principles. Christian love is an obstacle to the development of the revolution. Down with love of our neighbor. What we want is hatred. We must know how to hate. Only then will we conquer the universe.”

— Anatoly Lunacharsky, first USSR education commissar

“… The old civilizations claimed that they were founded on love or justice. Ours is founded upon hatred. In our world, there will be no emotions except fear, rage, triumph and self-abasement. Everything else we shall destroy—everything. …”

— 1984, O’Brien to Winston, Part 3 Section 3
The USSR gave Orwell his foundation for the book, as did Nazi Germany.

There is no Kum bay ya with Democrats. They are full of hate for conservatives, Republicans and any others that aren't in their fold. They wish us dead or in concentration camps and have said this many times. The only way we can get along with them is to steamroll them and hurt them at every turn and make them irrelevant.

Just stop✋ No Democrat has any intention of working with Donald Trump on anything. Not now, not ever. One exception maybe Fetterman. The rest of them are watching Trump start to dismantle everything they managed to put in place in the past 4 years.

Most of them have already been in jail longer than people guilty of real violence.
