What do you think of Trump's vow to full pardon, and apologize to Jan,6th rioters?

No. But they are fools.

He is inciting his followers AGAIN !

Deflecting his warrant and obstructu=ion of justice.

@Tropical_Willie I agree, but I also think he is pandering for votes as well.
Sad thing is it will work for his brain dead base.

It would be mighty hard for them to forgive him, so NO.
I can just just imagine him saying “Opps sorry for your incarceration but will you vote for me?”
And donate to my TRUMP Fund?

lol. lmao.

I think QAnon brainwashed people will keep giving Trump money.

@JLeslie I think you’re right, Trump is very good a convincing his base he is hard done by and needs their donations to keep up the good fight against the evil left.

He is dangling that carrot in front of his lobotomised followers to drum up support, and more importantly, give him money, but he will not follow through with it, because these people are of no use to him. They already failed him by not succeeding with their attempted insurrection.
That is why he did not hand out a single pardon to any of the fools in his last days in office.

He’s hoping to control the voters by using the 2% to 5% ultra right wingers, intimidation at polls ? ?

Giving a pardon to a white collar crime or a low level drug charge like having a small amount of pot is one thing. Pardoning violent offenders is a whole other thing and should not be allowed whether it’s the president or a governor.

He opens his mouth and loses more voters.

Remember @chyna our fright wing friends said that crowd wasn’t violent,and the only one killed that day was that poor innocent woman that was climbing through a broken window on a door that was barricaded ,shot by a drunk poorly trained officer, after being warned about the gun and told to get back, she was the only victim, the rest died outside the Capital grounds.
Even that officer he died of natural causes the next day, being hit in the head with a fire ext, had nothing to do with it.
Basically that peaceful crowd was just one big snuggle fest. How could you even think they were violent don’t let what you saw on TV say other wise, the fright wing said they were not violent so they were not violent, The Hang Mike Pence chant was just a sign they wanted to give him a big group hug.

I don’t know @filmfann The Don Fathers base is extremely loyal, they could see him shoot somebody and they would blame the victim for getting in the way.

Why would anyone believe his promises? The stupidometer doesn’t even go as low as that.

@SQUEEKY2 They also said the crowd was an Antifa conspiracy . . .

@Jeruba With Trumpists they had to make a new meter,because you’re right the old ones didn’t go low enough.

Yeah @Zaku and don’t forget BLM people were there as well.

Aiding and abetting criminal activity. Just what I’d expect from Trump.

Who was surprised? Let’s see how the field of crackpot knucklehead candidates he’s endorsed do in the upcoming elections. McConnel says he fears Trump’s zombie candidates along with Biden’s upticking economy will cost the elephants seats in both the House and Senate.

“Moscow” Mitch may have it . . . Dems control House and Senate !

@SQUEEKY2 SO much BLM there . . .

Apologise to lawbreakers and rioters? That is the topsy turvy world of Trump. I would put them through the courts and punish them accordingly and that goes for Trump himself, the most guilty of them all.

He’s so desperate for votes, and to win, he’ll use this as a way to buy votes.

He already lied to them about that once…..

I doubt that would happen. It’s campaign rhetoric.

If it did happen, I think we would see a change in the ability of presidents to grant pardons.

You know, we wouldn’t have to tie the hands of all future presidents if only we administered intelligence and Civics tests to everyone who applies for the job.

Trump’s unprecedented abuse of the office on nearly every front raises some alarming questions we’ve previously been spared the necessity of settling. Such business as whether a President is ACTUALLY immune to prosecution for crimes committed while in office.

@Dutchess III The people who set this place up made some assumptions on the judgement of the voters, and assumed that a marginally literate megalomaniac psychopath impossible to pass muster. It’s implicit in Franklin’s quote of “a republic if you can keep it”

I haven’t read all of the posts, but isn’t this a nutso question anyway? He has no power to pardon anyone.

@smudges. If you looked at the link he said he would pardon them if he is elected.

^^ Sorry, I shouldn’t have commented because I didn’t check out the link or read many of the posts. I rarely read anything about trump, and he won’t get elected, so it’s a moot point.

That’s what your country said the first time they elected him.^^

True. 8^(

“He won’t get elected.” We bet the farm he wouldn’t get elected the first time. Now nobody has a farm.

^yeah I went to bed that night confident that Hillary had won. Imagine my shock the next morning.

Yeah, you would hope that we learned a lesson, but perhaps the real lesson was the one Mencken left us: “no one ever went broke underestimating the taste of the American voter”.

@chyna Me too, and I actually cried in the morning. Aside from the fact that he was president, I kept thinking how foolish America would look to the rest of the whole freakin’ world. I was so embarrassed.

@smudges
If it makes you feel any better, the UK is a close competitor.

@ragingloli Yeah, a lil’ better, but I still wanna puke.
