Summary

In a Fox News interview with Sean Hannity, Donald Trump defended his sweeping pardons of over 1,500 individuals charged in the January 6 Capitol attack, calling the events “very minor incidents.”

He justified the pardons, citing harsh prison conditions and portraying many participants as patriots.

The move sparked backlash from police unions, some Republican lawmakers, and critics who condemned violence against officers.

Trump also criticized Biden for not pardoning himself and floated controversial ideas, including defunding FEMA and targeting sanctuary cities, in his wide-ranging interview.

      I’d like to see the back the blue folks try to justify both sides of that

        They won’t. Why can’t people seem to grasp that the hypocrisy is a feature, not a bug?

        They. Do. Not. Care.

        No need to worry, they’ll be too preoccupied with arresting minorities

        They just say the stroke he had the next day was totally unrelated.

        Simple: rules are for people who aren’t like them.

        Their whole political philosophy is derived from this axiom.

      In writing passive voice is less emphatic. Instead try active voice. “A bunch of deranged MAGA assholes (redundant) murdered a police officer by beating him to death”

      Edit for active voice.

        ACKSHULLY…

        While you’ve chosen better verbs, that’s still passive voice.

        A bunch of deranged MAGA assholes murdered a police officer by beating him to death.”

        Thank you for coming to my pedantic grammar lesson.
