I can’t help but think how much this helps Trump, in a bad way… freeing him from the responsibility to pursue justice against these criminals. But fear not, they will ultimately pay for their crimes, in this life or the next.
Biden spends final hours enshrining his enduring legacy
AND, final minutes: He pardoned the rest of his own family.
Biden Crime Family! it’s a real thing.
I just added that.
Yes. They are the definition of white trash, and a crime family.
Come now, Trump was never going to go after anyone. He’s a coward. Was a coward the last time.
And indeed, as with the deportations on day one, Trump telegraphed this for a year, on purpose, to provoke this and then say he can’t do anything.
Nothing stops. All the misery continues, or gets worse.
I’d be surprised if Trump pardons the Jan 6ers, actually. But one thing is for sure, this is going to be the Musk/Netanyahu/Zelensky presidency.
Mike: He gained office, only minutes ago. Minutes.
Hey, you’re the one that said he is responsible for the Israeli hostage deal over a day ago.
Once you realize everyone is all on the same side, this is going to be a lot easier for you, kid.
Mark, btw – “I can’t help but think how much this helps Trump, in a bad way… freeing him from the responsibility to pursue justice against these criminals”
Not really.
1. Pre-emptive / blanket pardons in general, might be unconstitutional – might be stripped.
2. Biden pardons in particular, due to his incompetence and/or corrupt motives, might be unconstitutional – might be stripped.
3. Even if the pardons are allowed to stick: The subjects lose their 5th Amendment right to refuse testimony. Viewed as a grant of immunity followed later with compelled testimony, the pardons might help Trump-Vance-Bondi go after more crucial fish. (Gates, anyone? Rockefellers?)
The larger point: There is a lot we don’t know, a lot that we peons are not seeing, a lot still in play.
Those pardoned can still be named as unindicted coconspirators and be used as primary witnesses against those left exposed and vulnerable by the Biden team.
Coward? There are many, many terms to toss around about that New Yorker of New Yorkers, Donald J. Trump. But coward is not one of them. Adults should be wary of confusing prudence with cowardice, or backroom trade-offs with cowardice.
Even his most unbalanced and categorical hecklers don’t go there.
(And it should go without saying: Only Mary can make things fully right, anyway.)
And I don’t want to alarm anyone, but since Trump is showing you who he really is, I will point out he didn’t put his hand on the bible when he was sworn in!
“He’S pLayiNg 3D cHeSs” the MAGA cultsists say…yes, with us.
Mr. Covid 19 vaccine is back…
That clown Roberts hardly gave him or his family time to ready themselves for much of anything. Of course Roberts screwed up swearing in Obama as well. So maybe he’s just a consistent foulball instead of a rude, deliberately insulting malcontent. But I think he’s an establishment hack, and thus very much the latter.
The Bible was there. Wife was holding it. He’s done this before. He chose not to use the Bible this time. Because Trump isn’t a Bible man now, he never was.
Wait and see.
Jan 6 pardons being signed tonight apparently…
“Tonight, I’m going to be signing on the J6 hostages – pardons – to get them out – and as soon as I leave, we’re going to be signing pardons for a lot of people,” President Donald Trump said at the Capital One Arena to more than 20,000 supporters.

And it was done.
Indeed!

But blackpillers told me, only The Anti-Christ could ever do something like that. (eyeroll)
“didn’t put his hand on the bible” – In addition, parts of the oath about “freely and without mental reservation” were blatantly omitted.
Grownups understand that, post-JFK, all of the top U.S. leaders have carefully-groomed doubles. And that Trump gets the most assassination attempts & probably uses his doubles more than anyone before.
I’m confused. How can someone be pardoned for something which they haven’t been accused? Ex: Fauci. He (AND Trump) should be charged and found guilty of crimes against humanity. The whole damn thing is kabuki theater.
Oh and the “Trump didn’t put his hand on the Bible” thing could be seen as a positive …like maybe there’s some semblance of decency left in him….ya, I know, I laughed as I typed it too Mike! lol
I may as well spell out what my last comment meant, before the overexcited misinterpretations kick in.
1. There is a lot we peons don’t know and must guess at.
2. Your guess is as good as mine……unless it clearly isn’t 😉
3. You (any reader) and I do not know, but it would be reasonable for Trump to take the real oath, with Justice Roberts, backstage, at exactly 12:00:00pm and NOT ONE SECOND later, and immediately start signing orders, as he sends his & Melania’s doubles to received the poisoned handshakes or poisoned sneezes of Obama & Hillary’s doubles. 🙂 Roman leaders worked that way.
4. You (any reader) and I do not know, but it would be reasonable for Trump’s public double to say, “As I am not doing a real oath, I cannot put my hand on The Holy Bible. As I’m paid to fake it, I cannot promise that I’m doing it freely & without mental reservation”. And for Justice Roberts to say, Of course -I already did the real guy.
Back in 2017, Trump would not have had his doubles fully online yet – as JD Vance probably did not, yet in 2025 – and back in 2017, Trump certainly put his hand on The Holy Bible – as JD Vance did, here in 2025.
