It’s a good thing he’s not a Democrat, or else that would be bad.

Donald Trump has been selling presidential pardons.
Most corrupt American ever lived.

And he's still in office. He's still committing every crime imaginable and getting richer all the time for it. Is he doing it right or what is the metric for success these days anyway? I can't figure it out.

I still can’t figure out how the Thanksgiving turkey afforded a pardon…

Republicans have demonstrated over and over again that they have a fundamentally different concept of law. For them, law is whatever is convenient for their pursuit of power.
If rioting is convenient for them, it’s legal. If peacefully protesting is inconvenient for them, it’s a crime. If bribery and fraud are convenient for them it’s legal, if a private business promotes someone they don’t like it’s a crime.
Trump’s pardons reflect this, they have nothing to with whether these people are criminals under American law, only that their pardons are convenient for the Republican Party.

Various paragraphs from the article:
"At least 12 of the pardoned rioters have since been charged with other serious crimes, including child molestation, assault, harassment, murder plots and charges related to a vicious dog attack. The outcome was predictable.
On March 5, a court in Florida sentenced [Andrew Paul Johnson](https://archive.is/o/lWcKw/https://www.npr.org/2026/03/05/nx-s1-5725470/trump-jan-6-pardon-sexual-abuse-prison) to life in prison for molesting a 12-year-old boy and a girl of the same age. To keep the children quiet, Mr. Johnson is said to have promised to bequeath to them part of a Jan. 6 restitution payment from the federal government that he claimed he would receive.
On March 25, a judge sentenced [Daniel Tocci](https://archive.is/o/lWcKw/https://www.masslive.com/westernmass/2026/03/amherst-man-pardoned-by-trump-over-jan-6-sentenced-for-child-p***-possession.html) to four years in prison for possession of more than 110,000 child p********** images."

And because the GOP continues to insist that trans people and drag queens are child predators, and that's why they have to outlaw them. This has to be said for both:

Think about the amount of coverage an illegal immigrant accidentally hitting someone with their car got from fox news. They'd have to make a new channel to only talk about this if a Democrat pardoned them.

How much you want to bet these people think being pardoned means they are immune to the rule of law now.

Can you imagine these insurrectionist are suing for "excessive force"
Jan 6 rioters file lawsuit and accuse cops of excessive force for trying to stop unruly mob.

The next regime needs to un-pardon everyone involved and then un-regimify the US.
