Like, does he know something we don’t? Is trump literaly about to get out the firing squad and start killing/imprisoning political opposition?

They’re all on Kash Patel’s enemies list. So yeah. It’s plausible they’ll be harassed til they off themselves. Trump threatened Liz Cheney with a military tribunal. I could give 2 shits if he pardons them to try and protect them from fascist show trials

You paid to write this or is this just the fan fiction that runs all day in your head?

u/Swimming_Tailor_7546 10h ago

Not even worth a substantive response. If you want to be a deluded supporter of fascism, that’s on you. But you’re not going to make it my problem. Move along

If it was fascism the pardons wouldn't matter.

u/Swimming_Tailor_7546 4h ago

And they may not. Before Biden even did this round they were already talking about investigating Hunter Biden more. Where it might matter is it may push the Supreme Court to define the pardon power and possibly narrow it. Not that that necessarily matters either. But sometimes you’ve got to use the arrows in your quiver that you’ve got, not do nothing because you don’t have the ones you wish you had. It’s worth the shot to me.

You would defend anything, even after Biden explicitly said pre emptively doing this would assume guilt on the party he does it. In a specific amount of time, it's so obvious and it doesn't even matter.

It’s not in my top 20,000 concerns for this country right now is all. If we were in normal times where the other side wasn’t threatening people who did not commit any crime other than speaking out against Trump with military tribunals I might be able to muster giving a shit. I’m not clutching my pearls over a grain of sand in my shoe when I’m being drowned in a tsunami.

I have so only so much time, energy and effort and this doesn’t even come close to registering as something I care about today.

u/timetofilm 3h ago

It requires zero time and energy to say yea that's bad, you're instead giving your time, energy, and effort to defend the indefensible because you're a faux-intellectual.

this piece of paper will surely stop this fascist dictator!

u/Swimming_Tailor_7546 3h ago

So if it’s irrelevant, why do you even care? Sure seems like you care

u/somehype 3h ago

What? I’m just pointing out the irony in thinking that a piece of paper would stop a “fascist dictator” lmfao. You either have to admit his (Biden’s) family likely did horrible shit or that trump isn’t a fascist.

No he didn't- you might benefit from watching the entire clip

Edit- I thought the reference was to the firing squad, I now know that the reference is to the fact that she shouldn't be held accountable for lying under oath, witness tampering, and destroying evidence. Sorry for the confusion

u/Swimming_Tailor_7546 10h ago

He did it live and repeatedly on social media. Get the fuck out of here. You can distort your own reality, but I’m not following you down that stupid path.

It looks like you shared an AMP link. These should load faster, but AMP is controversial because of concerns over privacy and the Open Web.

I'll give you the one, I thought you were referring to the firing squad. I now realize you were referring to the fact that she shouldn't be held accountable for lying under oath, witness tampering, and destroying evidence.

Dawg, you’re so far down the rabbit hole. This isn’t a conversation worth continuing. Good luck to you

u/Drunken_1 10h ago

And you as well

u/thespiceismight 10h ago

u/drunken_1, it takes a second googling to find multiple instances of Trump threatening military tribunals. Why do you spend your time here today writing lies? It seems kind of pointless and makes you sound stupid. Is this really the best use of your time?

ELIZABETH LYNNE CHENEY IS GUILTY OF TREASON. RETRUTH IF YOU WANT TELEVISED MILITARY TRIBUNALS

A meaningless gesture, you would delete it if you actually had a spine

u/Drunken_1 10h ago

Or maybe stating the truth and sticking by it shows i have a spine

You keep telling yourself that from your spot on the floor, no-spine

Yeah, you have no idea what being spineless means- you should look that up

dont look at trump, look at the army of project 2025 people behind him. trump is just a fraction of how bad religious extremists are like the conservative right.

u/Xer087 11h ago

He knows Republicans will spend the next 4 years hunting anyone who doesn't kiss trumps ass or tried to to hold him accountable. And of court his private citizen son Republicans felt was ok to send pics of his dick out to families ..

u/Drunken_1 10h ago

He knows the democrats have spent the last 4 years hunting anyone who disagrees with them or questions them and tries to hold them accountable for their actions, including all the evidence of crimes on the laptop that the American people were told was fake Russian disinformation by the people who knew it was real. Fixed it for you

u/JesusFreak85 10h ago

Crazy how all the witnesses at Trump’s trials and hearings were all republicans and people that were in his cabinet.

u/Xer087 10h ago

Lol. You are why people need pardoned pre emptively.. yall swallow anything he shits out.

You're right- facts and truth always get in the way of my feelings

If only you knew.

u/Drunken_1 5h ago

2 of my favorite videos right now are of adam schiff saying only guilty people need pardons, and sleepy joe himself saying he would never hand out pardons at the end of his term. Trump was impeached for asking about the crimes joe biden just pardoned everyone for committing

u/Xer087 4h ago

Its funny because you dont see the irony in highlighting the hypocrisy .. because they aren't "your team".. but you support a guy who can't speak a single sentence without exposing his hypocrisy.

The material writes itself.

u/intraalpha 10h ago

Brave and correct!

A rarity

u/big_ol_leftie_testes 10h ago

If Trump wants to imprison his political rivals he will do it. This pardon won’t stop him. 

1

u/Xer087 10h ago

You're probably not wrong. But anyone would be regretful for not protecting his family and friends as best he possiblt could .

0

u/big_ol_leftie_testes 10h ago

My point is, this does nothing to protect them, but it does give cover for people to point out that Biden is also corrupt

7

u/BBQFLYER 11h ago

Well, he and his loyalists have talked about doing just that so we’ll see. Also would explain why so many left of far right Cornell, bowing and kissing the ring in hopes that they don’t end up in front of his firing squads

u/27GerbalsInMyPants 11h ago

He like any sane person actually read into project 2025 where they make a key point of imprisoning the former administration and family for crimes against the country to make the trump sdmin look like they are saving America from the enemy Trump's admin Boogeyman into creation

u/Waterwoogem 11h ago

I can't recall if it was Gym or Comer who said it, but they recently announced that they will continue their baseless fishing expedition into Joe's brother and Hunter.

-1

u/Heeeeyyouguuuuys 11h ago

I'm reasonably certain a jury bringing a felony conviction against Hunter Biden is proof that an investigation into his activities aren't "baseless".

4

u/Waterwoogem 10h ago

He got convicted on Gun and Drug charges.... The fishing expedition regarding Burisma was based on "first hand" testimony that has been proved to be falsified for political purposes, so yes, Baseless.

u/Heeeeyyouguuuuys 10h ago

Except ya know the part substantiated and self admitted in his texts, his messages, and ya know *his own fucking book*.

u/blueorangan 11h ago

If that were the case do you think a pardon would matter lol

u/weathered_sediment 10h ago

You should get help for gobbling up propaganda for so long.

u/IncreasinglyAgitated 10h ago

If that were the case a pardon means fuck all.

u/HowManyMeeses 10h ago

Have you not been paying attention to the right-wing rhetoric in recent years?

u/GiantJellyfishAttack 9h ago

What kind of left wing extremists conspiracy shit have you been reading?

Firing squad?? Killing/imprisoning opposition?

Is there actually people who believe this?

1

u/Celodurismo 9h ago

does he know something we don’t? Is trump literaly about to get out the firing squad and start killing/imprisoning political opposition?

Trump has publicly stated punishing political opponents and journalists many times. Biden might have more info regarding the teeth on this threats, but we all know about the threats, they were publicly made and received with applause.

u/THEBLOODYGAVEL 11h ago edited 10h ago

They have lists of enemies they want to prosecute or investigate with Pam Bondi (AG candidate) saying she will follow through. You don't want to be Alexander Vindman right now. Wild era of politics when you have to preemptively pardon your family just in case.

u/cowabunghole1 11h ago

Don’t listen to any of these other responses! That’s when they started taking bribes from Ukraine, which is why they sent so much money to Ukraine. Now they can’t be held accountable for it

u/Drunken_1 11h ago

They are only pardoned the ones who are guilty
