There’s one thing here we all have to learn - Trump is vengeful, even when he gets his way. When have all of the pardons come? When voters are distracted! We have to keep watching, whether it’s a victory for us or for Teflon! When he said “I am your retribution”, he was talking about his own issues, not anyone else’s.

Can we stop those pardons? I think not. Sad, so very sad.

You are correct that this whole thing was to some degree buried in the constantly overwhelming 'news', but it did not go unnoticed by many of us. The only hopeful part about it is that the pardons are not comprehensive, and most people at this point are fully aware of the racket that it all is. Maybe there is still some justice to come.

Yes. We the people are going to have to get over the divisions (including red and blue) which MAGA has used so effectively to subvert the will of the people and weaken us.

Trump is not a populist. He knows nothing about consequences, financial hardship, or paying bills. He is corporate America’s right hand. Every last elected person not screaming their heads off abt this needs to lose their jobs! We don’t need 1 man to bring the swamp to heel. We need a super majority who can pass strong, well-thought laws and regulations, or even some Amendments, to stop this from happening again. Power corrupts. But, those who seek power were corrupt to begin with. Time to stop electing them. Serving is not emasculating, is not a sign of weakness. Quite the opposite. But, we’ve worshipped individualism as the experience of community, and now are steeped in a loneliness mess. The big tent, and caring for others, while they look out for you, too, is the cure to many of the ills we r facing.

I am sickened by this shameful act not surprising for any Republican President. DJT is a coward never been held accountable in his miserable existence. He will go down in American history as the worst president ever in our History. May he and his sickos, all his pardons rot in hell. All Americans must never forget the past and not forgive one of these losers. Democrats must take note of all trump has stolen, taken, destroyed and a his pardons we must not FORGET also Democrats must change the structure of the President job in detail!

Because the corruption in Republican Party is clear not one Republican in Congress or State from Gov to there Corrupt State Officials care at all for THE AMERICAN 🇺🇸 PEOPLE WHICH HAS BEEN PROVEN IN THIS SHUTDOWN AND THIS REPUBLICAN CORRUPTION.

WE MUST NEVER ALLOW ANY FUCKING PRESIDENT TO TOUCH THE PEOPLE HOUSE WITHOUT ALL MEMBERS OF THE SENATES OK period.

Next ITS TIME WE START OVER IN SCOTUS THE CORRUPTION IS CLEAR 5 MUST BE REMOVED THEN WE THE PEOPLE SHOULD ELECT THE PEOPLE TO SEAT IN HIGHEST COURT IN US. NO LONGER THAN 20yr must have at least 13. The people on the court should be elected on MERIT. All trumps cowards must be removed as untrustworthy.

I sick that we have uneducated people just mark ballots with out knowledge of a liar.

May every REPUBLICAN in Congress never hold another elected office again

This could have been prevented but NEVER ALLOWING BIG MONEY IN CAMPAIGNS AGAIN from likes of MUSK, BESO PLUS. No GIFTS EVER. LIMIT SCOTUS NEVER TAKE GIFTS EVER GO. SICKENING THIS MUST BE DONE

Trump doesn't seem to understand that the strong consensus of history judging J6 will thoroughly fault him, try as he may to rewrite his shame & stupidity.

The never ending saga of Trump and his dastardly administration continues ad nauseum. Every day brings another insult to the American people. It's so matter of fact that the media reports all that is Trump with nary an objection, fearful if they dare speak truth to power he will sue the pants off them. The BBC is next in his legal threat sights. Journalism is gone, poof!, dispensed as with the wand of a wicked witch, banished forever from all of us desperate to be rid of the nightmare known as Donald J Trump, President. He has dirtied and demeaned the highest office in the country and our corporate media has a ho hum attitude. These same greedy corporations will mass produce endless coverage of celebrities whose fifteen minutes of fame are long past the expiration date to a willing audience intent on being entertained, not informed. Just how much longer do any of you believe this pitiful condition can survive? Civilizations have risen and fallen on just such similar circumstances. As hard as I try, I am determined to be optimistic in the face of a man whose entire life has been a fraud and he's been propped up by others with no better sense of values than his. Every day I hope others will see the dangers and not give up defending our freedoms. I have no grandchildren to be concerned for, but those of you who do, please recognize their future is in peril. Thank you.

Being sued is one thing. Winning it is what counts, or in our case hurts. Let him sue!

Trump encourages criminal behavior thru pardons and pay. He signals that any illegal behavior is acceptable if it is in service to him. Make sure to call out every instance.

Comes the revolution, that list of executive pardons will be a good starting point for knowing who is not ever again to be trusted in government.

I think you might want to pay more attention to who is actually in charge. Trump is clearly demented; others, un-elected folk like Miller and Vought are telling him what to do.

This president is so conniving. But I think he has a lot of help from Voght and Miller. Then his minions carry out his instruction. Loyalty should have its bounds.

Pardoning anyone involved in January 6, 2021 is unforgivable. They and Trump should have been charged with treason! They should not be permitted to be in any government job.

America was founded, over years and with much thought on the principle of FREEDOM! No Kings or autocrats!
