  1. So Trump pardons his brownshirts.

  2.  @TarasBohdan  It does amount to a tacit admission that the rule of law doesn't apply when politics are involved.

  3.  @TarasBohdan  Don't expect a Pulitzer Prize for that observation. Pardons by heads of state are standard practice. Unlike Trump, however, most exercise their preogative very selectively. I don't know which is more embarrassing: supposedly holding political prisoners, or freeing rioters who were found guilty in a court of law of seditious conspiracy, trespassing, disrupting Congress, theft, weapons offenses, etc., etc. No matter how which stance you take, it marks a colossal failure of the US judicial system, either in prosecuting them or releasing them.

  4.  @guff9567  I'm afraid the sadness is all yours. You just don't realise it yet.

  5.  @TarasBohdan  You may want to recheck that. Several Oath Keepers and Proud Boys, including their leaders, were convicted of seditious conspiracy. That's conspiring against the authority or legitimacy of the state. And you brush it off as misbehaviour, like unruly behaviour in a classroom.
