    A clear message to Trump brand Nazis that they are free to kill his political opponents. Sure they’ll have to suffer thru some jailtime, but he’ll pardon them.

    Hell, Hitler wrote about his struggle there.

    ‘Disappointed’ is certainly not the language I’d use in her position. I’d remind Trump that future presidents may follow his lead and pardon his attempted assassins. TACO in no time.

    What the hell does it take for US centrist/centre-left politicians to be outraged?

    If I were her, I would start preparing the National Guard and networking with other like-minded governors. If Trump is willing to pardon people who wanted to claim her life, then he wanted her dead. That is grounds for war.

    IMO, the dissolution of the union has become nearly inevitable. The questions lie in the when, how, and whether good people come out on top. The good guys should set up mutual aid in advance, be it weather reports, treaties with Europe, Rainbow Panther militia, lawyers, or taxation that cuts out the federal government.

        As in, you’re baffled that people agree with the comment, and are upvoting it? Because it expresses a desire for an opposition politician to make real, meaningful, pragmatic preparations for the descent into fascism that we’re currently experiencing?

        Never did recreational drugs nor beer in my life. Lots of history books, though. In them, many governments turned to dust, and the US government has been deliberately creating the conditions to kill itself:

        Manufactured famine and disaster by dissolving the NOAA weather service alongside FEMA, unchecked greed by the wealthy that is causing workers to give up on their careers, the abandonment of our science, medicine, and food standards, betrayal of our minority soldiers and civilians, de-legitimizing the rule of law, the loss of our foreign relations and trade, and more.

        It is very likely that famine, plague, poverty, war, chaos, and death are the horsemen of our future.

    Anyone see the movie Devils Advocate with Keanu. It resonates with this administration. Watch it.

        I know. And how all the evil bastards of the world hang around each other. You can see it in their faces. While I don’t see this in real life to me people who support Trump and Putin and those types all have a very certain look on their face.

      I guess you mean he’ll pardon them. It does seem to be pure vindictiveness, with no attempt to even dress it up. He just wants anyone he dislikes to fear for their life, and all his supporters and lackeys are on board with this.
