These are not political prisoners

As Obama says elections have consequences. Trump isn't going to care what anyone thinks he doesn't need to run for election again.

Fact Check: True.“I don't give a damn what Democrats say about Trump's Jan. 6 pardons and commutations,” says Mike Davis, who founded the conservative Article III Project. “We won, they lost. F**k you.”

Not at all.

If my house was locked and boarded up and someone was dumb enough to break a window and try to come through it, they're catching a 40 cal in the head. I'm not waiting to see if they're armed or not and neither are officers behind barricaded doors with members of our government behind them.

Fair. But if you opened the door and waived them inside you would have no legal defense.

It’s not just Democrats who are aghast at that.

He really should’ve followed through on what his own VP said he would do: avoid any kind of clemency for those who engaged in violent acts on 1/6.

There’s no defending the assault of police officers.

Seems like a stable guy who is back on the streets. Great move pardoning him.

Trump freed more criminals with the stroke of a pen than have come through the border in the last year.

Fact check false.

Remember unarmed

That has absolutely nothing to do with it. She deserved it.

by total arrests, no
by arrests for violent crimes, no

by convictions for violent crimes or even advancement to criminal trial charged with violent crimes, you may be right

So we should have blown away all of the BLM rioters. They were dumb too

Every employer who does this is also a criminal

Like Trump? Or are you ignoring that since he's the golden idol you worship?

That's not what happened in the case of the shooting though, so it's not an equivalent.

Depends on what you were protecting the BLM protestors from getting to. Were you blocking them from a large group of people that they were trying to actually kill, a group for whom you were specifically hired and trained to protect?

Think it through. You can do it! I believe in you!

As all good Christians would ...

As I recall, she climbed through a broken window into the Speaker's office and was warned by armed police not to do so. She disobeyed this order, continued the climbing, and was then shot.

Look, when police are in a volatile situation -- especially when they're outnumbered and feeling threatened -- you'd better follow every one of their orders carefully and slowly. If you don't, there's a pretty good chance you'll either get shot or hit with something less lethal.

I'm sure the cop who shot her didn't go looking for somebody to shoot that day. But she and the other marauders created that dangerous situation, not the police.

And all of this would apply to BLM rioters, too. If you're putting cops in a dangerous situation, it's not unlikely that they'll be using their weapons to protect themselves. I don't think they're considering the underlying cause of why people are rioting. Do you?

I wonder how many times VPM has said "follow instructions if you don't want to get shot."

It seems to be common for people to view these kinds of incidents through a lens of their political sympathies. And I think they usually aren't cognizant of it.

They aren’t going to find anything are they Dems? 😊
