Headline on nbcnews right now: "Trump says he'll look at pardoning men in Gretchen Whitmer kidnapping plot"

How much farther will this pardoning of rightwing freaks go? And what will happen when someone gets hurt?

[BeerBarrelPolka]

1. He's just getting warmed up

[senseandsensibility]

5. I fear you may be right

but I wish more people would speak out. R's of course, but not even the women like Collins or Murkowski seem brave enough to do so. The Dems should be making ads about this. I remember his pardoning of the Jan.6 convicts was VERY unpopular with the public and we should tie it all together and keep screaming about it!

[BeerBarrelPolka]

6. I can't comment

on the silence. It's stupefying to me. All of this since day one in 2016 (if not before) has me numb. It's illogical.

[Evolve Dammit]

14. Was always about sticking it to the left/libs/libtards/Demorats. They have coalesced around and he is their savior. nt

[BeerBarrelPolka]

17. Indeed

[RockRaven]

2. After he pardons every right wing terrorist, murderer, fraudster. Every single one.

Plus any non-right-wing criminals who bribe him.

And when people get hurt he will disclaim all responsibility with some bumble-fuck babble just like he always does.

There is no bottom of the barrel. Do not expect a boundary.

[Attilatheblond]

44. He & Stephen Miller know they are gonna need an army of really stupid, violent people to defend them at some point

He's recruiting violent people as his personal army cuz he and Miller are not sure the US military will follow illegal orders when the ruckus begins in earnest.

[CTyankee]

3. Gretch is in the midwest where Trump still has some traction but he best not eff around with their leaders. Lotsa good

citizens in the midwest who wouldn't take kindly to that sort of thing.

[Hornedfrog2000]

55. Oh yeah

He is really scared. Nobody has done a thing to stop him, and nobody will. This freak is your new king.

[CTyankee]

56. Do you see any hope somewhere?

[Baitball Blogger]

4. He's cultivating a group of goons

In case he needs to bust heads at the next election.

[DENVERPOPS]

7. Exactly

Or sooner. You can bet the 1600 who were in Jail, have some payback ready at Trump's Command.....along with all the other 5,000 who were there but hadn't been identified yet......

[dixiegrrrrl]

42. I am hoping there IS a next election.

Look what he has done just in the last few months.
We theoretically have 3.5 years to go.

[Quiet Em]

8. I'm sickenened by the message it sends.

No repercussions for plotting violent crimes against women.

[Kid Berwyn]

9. Like Hitler and His Goons

from Harry Litman, Esq.

[Self Esteem]

10. And to think she debased herself just for him to do that.

[senseandsensibility]

11. I have to admit that that occurred to me

Playing nice with this guy never works.

[Self Esteem]

12. It does not. I am not sure why any Democrat thinks they will figure out the secret sauce when it comes to Trump.

[Dock_Yard]

25. Ari Melber had a major segment on bowing down vs standing up. 5/28 The Beat MSNBC

Featured Jonathan Chait of The Atlantic.

Both noted "bowing down" to the demented felon47 never stops his aggression towards the person/organization.
Doing this just confirms "he owns you" indefinitely, and thus he WON'T stop dragging you -- until YOU STAND UP and fight.

[Evolve Dammit]

13. Same reaction. Also George Floyd's murderer Chauvin.

[RJ-MacReady]

28. Actually

I hope he pardons Chauvin, that means he will do his time in a MN max security prison and his time won't be easy at all.

[ejbr]

15. Didn't she

just hug Trump when they met recently? I hope she regrets that now that he is demonstrating his lack of concern for her.

[senseandsensibility]

16. Yup

[Iamscrewed]

18. Brown shirts

When do the new uniforms come out?

[Omnipresent]

54. I wouldn't put it past him to put republican Elephant badges on our services uniforms.

Hitler did that cornball stunt by adding Nazi party swastika’s to German uniforms.

[orleans]

19. if someone gets "hurt" he'll say they probably brought it on themselves

... just like someone who gets molested or raped.

[Mr.Bee]

20. Criminal Felon pardoning Criminal Felons

Big Surprise.

or
Wednesday...

[SomedayKindaLove]

21. Soft on crime

Hey Donnie Darko,

At least the Joker had an excuse for releasing all the criminals, being criminally insane and all. You’re just a two bit hack auctioning off pardons like some creep in a darkened alley way trying to sell ticking Rolex’s.

The Whore of Babylon for two bit coins.

[RainCaster]

22. It's all about Law And Order

That's what the GOP tells us. I'm not buying it.

[senseandsensibility]

23. Yeah, our side really needs to turn that around on them and FAST

The ads write themselves at this point.

[SomedayKindaLove]

24. Soft on crime

[DingleBerryNW]

26. Trump is building his personal Army

[Demovictory9]

27. every day a new outrage

[doc03]

29. This after she went to Mara Lardo to make nice with him

[senseandsensibility]

31. I thought she just met him on the tarmac

in Michigan. I didn't like that either.

[Celerity]

40. She met him at the White House, and then in Michigan

Smdh

[sakabatou]

30. If he goes through with the pardons, he's giving the green light to kidnapping... well... anyone

[Cirsium]

49. Any and all crimes

He's giving the green light to his supporters to commit any and all crimes.

[Basso8vb]

32. Nazi scum needs to be eradicated.

[GoCubsGo]

33. Time for the State of Michigan to charge them.

Which they should have done concurrently with the federal charges. Trump can't pardon state convictions.

[BumRushDaShow]

39. They already did and were convicted

Final Sentences Ordered in Whitmer Kidnap Plot

[E. Normus]

34. Remember when Rudy

was soliciting pardons for 5 million during Drumpfs first term? The methods of renumeration may have changed and the cost most certainly has gone up. But this corruption is in full swing!

[NCgayguy]

35. "How much farther....?"

Lucifer! Lucifer comes to mind!

Thank you for sharing!

[pat_k]

36. Promoting terror plots against 47 "enemies" is a feature, not a bug...

...for the radical reactionaries.

We have our work cut out for us:

[MIButterfly]

37. Oh HELL no!

Can this be true? What the actual fuck?

I apologize for my abusive language, but I have reached my absolute limit. Many times I've toned down what I've really wanted to say in response to his latest idiocy but I can't do it anymore. I just can't.

And this waste of oxygen has the audacity to proclaim himself the "law and order" president and the dumbasses that voted for him believed it?

I don’t get it. Why pardon them? What's in it for him? They don't have millions to bribe him with, do they?

God, please smite this bastard once and for all. Nobody else is going to help us; not the press, not our elected officials, not the courts. We're on our own so we desperately need divine intervention.

I'm sorry to anyone I may have offended with this post but I am at my wits end.

[Cirsium]

50. What's in it for him

He is signalling to "militia" vigilantes that he has their back. He is forming a loyal storm trooper corps.

[Hekate]

38. He'll keep going, forming his private army sworn to him personally. Others getting killed is the point.

Those who don’t get killed will be terrorized — paralyzed with terror.

That is the plan.

[Attilatheblond]

45. He & Miller will need those criminals if the Courts every decide to start enforcing their decisions against Trump.

Trump is just spoiling for bloodshed, as long as he doesn't get any on himself.

[Hekate]

46. That's how I see this monster, too

[quakerboy]

41. Thats the whole point

Pardon the fraud cabal, and their thugs. Bring the violence. And if anyone stands up against it, then you send in whichever thugs are most available (sideye at ICE) to provoke additional violence, and then declare an emergency crackdown and suspend any legal restrictions that have been in your way.

[spanone]

43. RIGHT WING CRIMINALS.

[mdbl]

47. Just reproves that Dump is a danger to America

Literally.

[Joinfortmill]

48. Preparing for another coup d'etat in four years?

[Nigrum Cattus]

51. This is his child like response to losing the tariff battle -

He is releasing hard core criminals, because he can.
This is now 100% republican't policy, lets see how they like it !

[Omnipresent]

52. This is all about revenge for his fragile ego.

You can see when it hit trump the hardest, in that photo of his face leaving the courtroom after winning those 34 counts of guilty.

[milestogo]

53. He's all about deporting the evil rapists and murderers that the evil left is protecting.

But when it comes to kidnapping Democrats or taking over the Capitol, he sows pardons.
