Yesterday’s bipartisan pardon-fest was, to use Bill’s word, grotesque. We’ll probably have more to say about Trump’s appalling, but predictable, decision to grant clemency to all January 6, 2021 rioters, including pardons for some who assaulted and injured police officers.
Biden and his bunch are in every way as bad as anything Trump has done or likely will do. It truly is a pathetic race to the bottom and I really hope that somehow when Trump is gone from the scene we can get a president who both opposes the leftist onslaught and is prepared to fight it while also restoring some of the decorum appropriate for the head of state of the most powerful nation on earth.
I get Trump pardoning most of the non-violent offenders from Jan. 6th. It's what he had promised prior to being elected. Many of these people were excessively punished in my judgment. But he certainly should not have pardoned anyone who engaged in violence during that sorry episode. As bad as that is, and it's pretty bad, Biden reveals once again what he has always been. He was, and is, a mediocre, petty, corrupt politician who used his long "public service" to enrich himself and his family to a sickening degree. I realize he's not alone, but it's far from the image he, his party, and his flunkies in the media sought to portray.
You call protestors shock troops? It was a disorganized protest that got very out of hand. It lacked the organization I imagine when I hear the word. Also we know there were provocateurs seeded among the crowd.
Shock troops
/ˈSHäk ˌtro͞ops/
plural
1. a group of soldiers trained specially for carrying out a sudden assault: "elite shock troops were sent in to contain the situation"
I don’t believe Trump preemptively pardoned anyone in his first administration. I think he asked if it was legally feasible. People regularly consult with attorneys to get an opinion as to whether or not a particular course of conduct is legal. In 2020, Biden and the Democrats were aghast that the questioned was even asked.

Amen.
