Sorry to break it to you but he just let 1500 violent insurrectionist criminals out. But I'm sure he'll get the brown and black people you hate rounded up. Hail Trump

And one of them was arrested less than 24 hours after release.

Will he be pardoned again?

Your president sent a murderer of FBI agents from jail to his home. Sit down. You have no moral high ground here.

Both have disastrously misused pardon power.

Not a fan of the Jan 6 insurrectionists but they served more time in mail than many criminals. Free up the space for the drug dealers and murderers whose sentences Biden commuted.

Their egregious offenses are worse than most. They tried to undermine the state and deserve a lot worse.

The problem is the vast inconsistency between how the J6 people were treated and the 2020 BLM people. The J6 people protested for one day, in one place, what they believed to be a legitimate grievance about vote counting in two swing states (GA and PA). Some of them went too far and committed crimes, and were rightly arrested and sentenced. But the sentences were vastly disproportionate to the crimes - 10, 20 years for trespassing and property crimes like breaking windows.

The BLM protesters in summer 2020 also were protesting what they believed was a legitimate grievance (police mistreatment of Blacks), and by any objective measure, did far more damage than the J6 protesters, in terms of personal injuries, deaths, assaults on police officers, and massive amounts of property damage, in multiple cities, over a period of months. But not one person was sentenced to a single day in prison.

By June of 2020, 14,000 people had been arrested for their role in the riots. I think that is a bit more than your "not one single person".

go ahead and read the rest of the paragraph that you are citing - it says that the BLM activity killed 19 people and caused 1-2 billion in property damage. lots of BLM people were arrested, but most or all were let go. do you know the longest prison sentence that any BLM rioter received?

Average of 27 months. Plus, instead of mass pardoning them, Biden continued vigorously prosecuting them. And the below article was written while inestigations were ongoing. People continued to be arrested, tried, convicted, jailed AND NOT PARDONED.

In terms of scale:

Jan 6 was one day--a few hours-- and a few thousand people. BLM protests happened over many months and involved MANY millions of people. I'd be willing to bet the ratio of damage and injury to law enforcement for Jan 6 outweighed the BLM protests by a lot. (I think I actually did some searching awhile back and confirmed this).

Peltier was not a pardon. It was a commutation for an elderly (80) year old man who is in very poor health. The federal appeals judge who wrote the opinion upholding his conviction (and saying it was possible he was not guilty, just not probable) cited pervasive misconduct by the government during the protest and in the course of the prosecution (including falsified affidavit used to secure extradition from Canada) when he RECOMMENDED the President take "positive action", such as commutation, decades ago. That judge had to read the entire transcript of the trial and review the entire record to come to that conclusion.

Is Trump going to pardon Carillo?

Well, to add, one was a group of people fighting for justice and the other was a group of hillbillies trying to overthrow the government and hang the VP.

Can’t pardon state charges.

He has had a terrific start. Even his most ardent supporters like me can admit that, at times, his first term was meandering and unfocused, though unquestionably successful. (For example, before Trump, I don’t think anyone seriously thought that Roe could ever get overturned.)

But if the first two days of the second term are any indication, this is going to be a highly effective presidency. The onslaught of executive orders has been truly a sight to behold. I mean, he revoked LBJ’s Executive Order 11246, which was one of the starting points of affirmative action and discriminatory hiring practices in this country—this was an order from 1965! He appears to truly be working to right many of the systemic injustices deep-rooted in society, not simply tinkering on the edges. (And I am happy about Executive Order 11246 despite being a minority because I don’t doubt my ability to succeed, even on a level playing field.)

This has been truly inspirational—I’ve been glued to my TV and X trying to keep up with it all. What have been your favorite early accomplishments?

Yes, we know "minority" people who are not black are happy. This is what you voted for.

How do you explain his black supporters, as there are quite a few? And who exactly is a “minority”, in your eyes? So not really a minority?

OP does not even understand what Executive Order 11246 did and did not allow or require (it prohibited discrimination, just like the replacement order; it did not require or allow diversity hiring preferences as OP seems to suggest). It is one of the most lied about and misunderstood EOs ever. Repealing it simply removes a few reporting requirements and enforcement mechanisms for contractors (which they no doubt are happy about). Everything prohibited and required by it still exists in other laws passed by Congress that an EO cannot change. So, it won't change much IRL -- employers still need to keep the records to defend against discrimination lawsuits, they just won't need to submit them to the government annually.

Many MAGA cult followers don't look healthy. Too bad this administration doesn't believe in science and research to cure terminal diseases. MAGA people are so short-sighted and clearly have very, very small brains that don't function properly.

No cops were killed on Jan 6. 1 died of unrelated natural causes and 3 committed suicide.

Hard to make the case that those police officers were "murdered".

Okay, putting that aside for a minute, pardoning the thugs that beat up 140 police officers.

And threatened to kill Mike Pence and Nancy Pelosi, which they would have done if they had found them that day.

I love it! He just casually signed EOs while taking questions from the media!

Which means, of course, that he didn't read them first. He was just signing things that others put in front of him.
