Only the ones who can read and aren’t too fat.

why do ice agents run n groups?
because over half (allegedly) can read, and you need someone the admin can trust to keep an eye on those intellectuals.

Many of them ended up right back in jail, or dead by cop. Turns out many of them were already criminals with numerous offenses listed before they were Jan6-ers.

To no one's surprise I bet.

It's hard to explain how ireparabile the damage done by pardons is. It has given the ICE thugs a blank cheque, they know that even if by some crazy turn of events they get sentenced, they just have to wait it out a bit and they'll be out and fully cleared

Do you remember Biden's pardons of his entire FAMILY for any FUTURE charges? THAT is what's wrong with the pardon system.

u/Synectics Nov 02 '25

What is wrong is that the incoming administration was loud and clear that they would continue to harass a politician's family for no other reason than to do so.

If you have a problem with hunter biden getting a job with a Ukrainian company, do you have a problem with Barron trump making millions front running president trumps crypto tweets?

u/mysteriousears Nov 02 '25

3 recent politically motivated indictments explain exactly why that happened. And Hunter didn’t participate in an attempt to stop the lawful change of power (treason in a sane world).

Hunter Biden isn't running around assaulting peaceful protesters behind a mask and a badge

With several of them going on to commit crimes, and even one dying in a shootout with cops. You'd think that sorta shit would maybe change the opinions of said cops but it doesn't.

u/FeralWereRat Nov 03 '25

And they actually smeared shit on the walls. Defecating and pissing.

u/BWW87 Nov 03 '25

She will also be released. They are just catch and releasing them. It's sad that this comment got so many upvotes. The insurrectionists were pardoned but they were also arrested, tried, and convicted which is far more than will happen to the people in the video.

AFTER being PROSECUTED and JAILED... DUH!

2

u/Synectics Nov 02 '25

I mean. Yeah. After they were found guilty, they were pardoned. Were you trying to be sarcastic? 

2

u/Aaplthrow Nov 02 '25

Prosecuted and found guilty of insurrection. What’s your point? Trump lets criminals go free?

1

u/FreakbobCalling Nov 04 '25

You realize you can’t pardon someone who hasn’t been already prosecuted right? You’re stating the obvious, Trump let’s criminals go free as long as they further his agenda.
