Trump Incites Crowd ... Again, Hints at Pardons for Capitol Rioters

Joe Biden has certainly been a disappointment to me as President. His administration has stumbled in its COVID-19 messaging. After promising to bring people together, his words and his agenda are just driving them further apart. I also have serious doubts about his foreign policy. But between him and Trump, I'd still go with Biden. The person who convinced me about that was Donald Trump himself.  At a weekend rally just a year after he incited a mob to storm the capitol, he's doing the same thing again. In addition, he's hinted that he'll issue pardons to the poor people who were so unfairly charged after disrupting the certification of a Presidential election. That's cRaZy talk. A person like him belongs in a padded room, not the oval office.  

I'd suggest you look at his speech for yourself, which appeared on C-SPAN. He complained about politically inspired prosecutors conducting a "with hunt" into some of his financial dealings while real criminals walk the streets. That's a rant I often hear from people charged with crimes.  

He said that if these prosecutors "do anything wrong or illegal," i.e. charge him, "I hope we are going to have in this country the biggest protest we have ever had in Washington, D.C., in New York, in Atlanta and elsewhere because our country and our elections are corrupt." 

This is a nonsequitor. What on earth does a criminal investigation into Trump's financial dealings, his incitement of a mob and his threats to Georgia election officials have to do with our elections?

He repeated his claim that the election was "rigged" and "stolen." He also told the throng that if he is elected again, "we will treat those people from January 6 fairly ... And if it requires pardons, we will give them pardons.

it is true there are numerous political prosecutions being conducted. it been going on now for some time. As for the Jan.6 people many have not been charged and are still being held in detention without charges and a trial, No one questions that the law should be enforced, but fairly and timely, not political punishment. Such abuses will only create more division and hatred of government.

Taking from a prior campaign, I offer a similar question to every household, “Are you better off now than you were one year ago?”

Agree with 12:45 AM, and probably most other Americans, on this one. The Biden Administration was as not only created through election tampering but has been a complete failure having set this nation back a decade, or more.

Our elected officials at every level have failed us beyond belief. They have given this nation away to special interest groups and foreign nations, particularly China. I’d take a Trump-like administration any day over the mess we’re in now. This collection of Democrats are not your friends. If citizen voting means anything going forward, start putting others into place before it’s too late.

How could anyone one compare Biden to President Trump--First of all Trump was not a politician at all as a result the politicians and deep state people hate him because he called it like he saw it. Second Trump was for the American people not at all like Biden who is for his left wing policies that are killing this country.Hopefully Trump will return to power as soon as possible.

America is tired of the Big Lie.

Fastest job growth in decades, lowest unemployment in years, 6.4 million jobs created in one year, the market is up and consumer spending is high. Granted, we are feeling the effects of inflation as a result of pandemic bailout and supply chain disruptions but that too will normalize once we get the pandemic under control. I am concerned "me first" and will continue to hinder our recovery.

Protest is part of our first amendment, and we need a lot more with the disgusting abuses by this present administration. So, protest advocated by Trump is bad, but protest advocated by BLM is righteous. Whether Trump runs again or not, the policies he advocated were in the best interest of the country. Biden's policies will lead to end of this country as we know it.

Its seems some cannot get passed their emotional responses to make and rational judgements.

He's cray cray and I didnt like him personally. I always wanted him to just shut up. But God I miss him. Biden is disastrous. Trump was good at being president and the country was better for more of its citizens. It's a harsher country under Biden. Hard to believe that would be the case.

Biden is a corrupt lifetime politician who does not care about the people--he is like all politicians in this country, look what they did to our country. We need to put Trump back in office and get rid of all the political class people. JANUARY 6 was not attack on our system of government it was a direct attack on people like Pelosi, Schumer, Schif, Nader and many others who are killing our country.

Trump approved having 20,000 national guard troops to surround the capital 2 days before the riots! Why did the dictator speaker and the Incompetent Washington D.C. mayor stop it? it was their last attempt to get Trump before he left office. Bernie wake up and smell the coffee. Your boy is the worst President ever. How can you sit there and not see what this asshole is doing to this country!

Trump is going to single handedly save the Democrats from themselves.

As bad as Biden has been, we get daily reminders from Trump of what a complete disaster he was and would be again. Drifting aimlessly with Biden again is a better option than constant turmoil, grifting and stupidity that Trump and his family brought.

Between the New York and Georgia investigations as well as the Jan 6th Commission hopefully one of them will have the good to finally and effectively remove him as a potential candidate.

The last thing we need is Trump. He ruined the country with his handling of covid. Now he says if I'm president I'll pardon the Jan 6 criminals. Lest we forget he was president when the thugs rioted. He could have pardoned his ilk but he didn't. He didn't start saying that nonsense til his fat orange ass was headed for trouble.

Trump is just as bad as Biden is with declining mental faculties, but with the added stress of years of cheating, stealing, cutting corners, etc., slowly beginning to box him in without any easy avenues of retreat.

He's screwed six ways to Sunday and his mindless supporters need to come to grips with it and move on to another savior.

He has $700 Million in various debts coming due over next 3 years with limited liquidity and reduced ability to finance.

He's being investigated for tax and insurance fraud for over valuing and undervaluing property.

He's being investigated in Georgia for pressuring/interfering with their elections.

He's being investigated for what he did and didn't do on January 6th, 2021.

He can cry "witch hunt" all he wants and his sympathizers will dismiss it all as political persecution but the facts above still remain. He's cooked, its time to move on.

Trump is talking about the many protesters who entered the Capitol, some after being waved in by the Capital Police, that are being held without bail and haven't gotten a trial more than a year after the incident. The government is abusing its power and trying to sweat guilty pleas out of them, which the government has already done with many others.

That's wrong.

In addition, the sentences sought and decisions to prosecute has not been evenly applied as compared to other riots that happened over the last two years. Just this week, it was revealed that the government sought half the maximum amount of time for someone convicted of murder in a BLM riot because the person was participating in one of the George Floyd protests. Yet the 1/6 rioters are having to book thrown at them and excessive sentences sought.

That's unequal application of the law and is also wrong.

If any politician (Trump included) is willing to correct those wrongs and hold people accountable for what has in effect become political prosecutions, I'm all for it.

I'm all for harshly prosecuting those who do actual violence. But what has happened with the DC protesters is wrong. We've never had political prisoners in America before, until Joe Biden.

Trump would like to be able to get back in the game. He won’t say he’s not running because once he does he will no longer have access to RNC money. Sadly he’ll strangle the party before calling it quits. This keeps the GOP from developing any real leaders, a whole generation of potential qualified leadership will be lost. Come on GOP, scrape Trump and his grifter children off. Or you can let him go on talking crazy and making the whole party look crazy.

Amazing how some can actually watch on TV in real time as the huckster says: "And after this, we're going to walk down and I'll be there with you. We're going to walk down-" to rally the "saps and suckers" to do his dirty work while he drives off in car to laugh about it as he watches it on TV. But hey, don't believe your lyin eyes, as the Putin puppet says:
“What you’re seeing and what you’re reading is not what’s happening,”. My favorite quote for this new decade to explain the "never have time to golf", "of course I'll show my taxes", "Mexico will pay for it", sham man's cult followers: When there is no reality, anything is possible.

Bernie, the truth is just beginning to surface about what lengths the corrupt politicians went to and continue to go to regarding dismantling the freedoms of the American people. Donald J. Trump is not afraid to take them on and he definitely appears to have them rattled. The more they and the main stream media protest him, the more powerful he becomes. Democrat (used to be one 😮), Independent or Republican(present status),
we all are Americans and need to band together to protect our country from socialism and communism. You are fooling yourself, Bernie, if you actually believe Biden is in charge of anything, given his present state of mental health. I at one time thought you were unbiased but I now see that I was incorrect on that call.

Most of you on posting on this blog are not smart enough to get you heads out of your own ass to think for yourself. You make perfect communists or socialist which ever you would prefer to call yourself. The Russian propogandists are working over time pushing trump and his crap.

All sides need to be laid bare and show their ugly underside. The politicians need to be made to become good people again or perish before we the republic perish. It is coming to a point where millions people could perish in the ensuing dystopia we are on the verge of.
I know personally know two people that are screwed up right now the should be committed but they each have their side that they a vehement about and will not budge. What is the funniest part about them is that if you describe what they say and just put the other party in front of it is the absolute worst idea. I actually recorded them spewing their crap then said it back to them a couple of days later and they when berserk when they though the other side said it.

There are some thoughts out there that 20 to 30 million people could be killed and wounded in the first months of when this country trys to rip itself apart in the next couple of years. And another 30 to 4 million go away in the following year. as well as the multiple millions that will lose everything when the rest collapse and we become less then a third world nation. May all of you spewing your extremist crap in these blogs whether you believe it or are just trying to insight something do us a favor an solve our problem now or hopefully be in the first group that are taken out so the rest of us can get back to a better reality.

@7:24 and @12:55 Trump did request troops the day of the horrible event. He wanted them for numerous reasons. 1) to encircle the white house and protect him. 2) to seize voting machines and arrest all the electors who did not vote for him 3) To seize control of congress 4)to protect his proud and perfect rioters that stormed the capital.

the truth will never come out however because it will show so many that our democracy is vulnerable, our society is on the brink of collapse, and that there are so many in DC and in power who don't give a damn about the common people but only want their power and money.

I think this should have been simple. The snipers on top of congress should have just started shooting anyone and everyone who crossed the sidewalk. Then they should have eliminated Giuliani, Lindell, and all those that supported the actions. Seized their assets like they would any other terrorist. And then went after Trump and his family for everything they had.

I am still questioning who stopped the quick reaction force from descending on the Capital January 6th. there is only 1 person that could do that and that was the commander and chief at that time (HMMMMMMM)

Bernie,

I'm sorry, no.
I voted for Trump 4x (2 primary, 2 general).
I accept Biden won the election.
Was there fraud? Yeah, probably. There's fraud in every election. Enough that it would have altered the result? I'm skeptical.

January 6th was the left reaping what they sowed with 4 years of the Russia gate Hoax & Selected-not-elected with W.

Trump just ramped up the game. As is his nature.

I'd prefer he not run again in 2024. He's too old & too thin skinned. He makes horrible hiring decisions that put Neocons in positions that undermine his America First agenda.

DeSantis would be the better choice.

None of that matters. People can't find groceries & if they can, they can't afford them. The cost of gas hasn't been this high since the Obama administration. Thanks for canceling Keystone XL, Brandon.

We look weak as hell from the Afghanistan debacle (don't tell me the same thing would have happened with Trump. He'd have gotten us out before the fighting season started & wouldn't have left billions in equipment behind for our enemies).

We're on the precipice of getting defeated in a major war with Russia & China as our generals are preoccupied with diversity the sources of white rage.

If DJT decides he wants to run again, he'll win. No, the American people don't want him to run. I don't want him to run, but we (literally) can't afford 4 more years of incompetent far-left Government.

If the Democrats nominated someone like Tulsi or Synema, this is a different conversation.

Sorry, but the Democrat-leaning posters here need to do a much better job making a case for Joe Biden and his cabal. All I read are baseless claims and the usual name-calling. So predictable.

I love the people who site the economic numbers that are totally false. 6.4 million jobs created LOL. We are still below pre pandemic levels of employment. Still a full 2 percentage down in workforce participation rate. That's not me saying it, it's ADP's Chief economist, a prominent african american female named Nela Richardson. She said it on CNBC. If the government shuts the economy down, then reopens the economy, those are suspended or recovered jobs, not created jobs.

"Economist Nela Richardson said on CNBC that the U.S. hasn’t produced any new jobs since 2019. In fact, the economy still hasn’t reached its 2019 high-water mark under President Trump. All the jobs that the economy gained are recovered jobs that were lost."

For the record i'm not a Trump guy either. I am just so sick of hearing the baloney about 6.4 million jobs "created" it's disingenuous at best and outright lying at worst.

Hey Geniuses check out how they talk about job creation. It is bullshit and has been bullshit for years. They count job creation as the number of unique social security numbers that will work on a project or site. So you can create jobs but they only have to work for a day on that project then they can go t the next project and go to a third project and work a Day. Then the liars that are politicians can say 3 jobs were created even though the same person worked on each job for just one day. It is unique SSN per project. I know this from the way I was told to calculate job creation on a project I was developing in the valley. Local organizations involved in the labor development market an those that take credit for it never would bluntly say it that way but directed me and asked me enough questions to make it be padded that way.
