It has been speculated that Trump handed out "pocket pardons" to many of his co-conspirators. It's a sort of "get out of jail free" card.
We don't yet know if those exist or if they would be considered legal. But we might find out in the coming months.
I've thought about the love for Trump/Trumpism and way excessive hate for Ds before, but never really put them together until now. It really is amazing that one man, greatly aided by so many, not only convinced a big chunk of this supposedly advanced country to think that he's a leader they should want, but ALSO convinced them that the "other side" was way worse than it is.
Maybe that just how it always works? Still, one would hope that maybe a semi-sophisticated society wouldn't fall for the WHOLE thing hook, line, and sinker? Maybe JUST love a guy who beats up the other side, but don't also convince ourselves that the other side is SUPER bad? Or, we think that the other side is SUPER bad, but we pick a leader who isn't ALSO super bad?
Nope, it's America. We go ALL the way, bad all around.
it's bad on America, but we have to acknowledge what a talented salesman trump is. He is one of the best on the planet. No one else could have done this to the country in just four years - he is a singularly talented politician. And exactly, precisely, definitively the leader the framers of the Constitution feared most.
Sally Vixxxxxxxxxxons, you have failed to address the fact that Lauren Boebert's (R. Col.) (5'0")(née Roberts) husband was arrested and pled guilty to dropping his pants in a bowling alley. According to official Colorado reports, Lauren Boebert's husband (Jayson) was in line at the bowling alley bar for purposes of purchasing beverage alcohol, when he felt the need to pull down his pants to substantiate his claim that his genitals were tattooed.
He has been adjudicated as guilty, having received Due Process of law. He has not petitioned to have his guilt expunged from the Colorado record.

I am all for that. If you do the crime, you must do the time.
So they found out that the Republican Party was behind the violent coup???? II hadn’t heard this part. I thought it was just Trump. Are there other coded messages??? Tell me more. 🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿
most of the Republican House delegation voted to overturn the election, yes.
almost all of the Republican senators voted to acquit in the impeachment
virtually the entire R party was working to overturn the election in the courts.
Almost no elected Rs tried to get trump to stop the coup
so yes, the R party was behind the coup
Reminded today that 147 Rs in the House voted against the election results. Almost entirely because they were afraid of an OUTGOING politician.
Some of you Trumpers think that you're hurting my feelings by calling me "angry." You're not. I am. One day I wake up in midlife realizing that I live in (and served for 31 years) a country where roughly half of my fellow citizens are willing to vote for unprincipled cowards who very well may destroy our democracy.
Yep, plenty angry about that. No denial, no apologies.
Because he is a "clear and present danger" to our country, according to a very respected conservative former federal judge Michael Luttig.
He is a nice charismatic old man who has the gift of gab and makes people feel good especially those who do not like liberals or their progressive agendas.

You have zero reason to be angry. You live in the greatest country in the world at a time when you have all of the information in the world at your fingertips even on your phone. Hating a politician who is not in office currently and expending stomach acid over what you think might have happened or will happen, is not good for your health. Chill out and enjoy the fruits of your hard labor.

And, as we've discussed before, apparently didn't sufficiently protect against. E.g., Own either chamber of Congress? Impeachment utterly fang-less. Etc.
Great men, obviously, but it seems to this legal/political layman that Trumpism has shown us, unfortunately, that they weren't quite great enough.

Seriously... what the hell does Lauren Boebert's husband have to do with anything?
You have failed to address the fact that Hillary Clinton's husband is a literal rapist and Jill Biden's husband sexually molested her daughter Ashley Biden.

"Zero chance," eh? For your sake, I hope that you don't give away your money as freely on gambling as you do on Trump solicitations.
Okay there's a slight chance since you're a "conservative" you may have a Joe Biden bumper sticker.
All you deluded "I'm not a Trumper" souls realize that EVERY time you call Liz Cheney or nonequals or any other anti-Trump conservative a "conservative," you're advertising your own Trumpism, right ?

Just in case: You are.
You're a "vegan" who ordered a raw steak because you don't like the chef who made the vegan food...
You cannot be a conservative and vote for Joe Biden. Hence you and cankles are "conservatives".
Unless you're one of those anti-capitalist, anti-police, anti free speech, woke "conservatives"...

I've explained this to you before. You can't keep dodging the Lauren Boebert issues by referring to Clinton and Biden sex scandals, when neither of them has been convicted. It's a dodge. An obvious dodge. Everyone sees your behavior and thinks "There he goes again. Dodge."
The plain fact of the matter is that Lauren Boebert's husband exposed himself at a bowling alley. People were there to bowl, not watch some drunken guy walk around with his pants around his ankles. Is that something you are in the mood for when you go bowling? Jesus Christ. Due Process was served here. Criminality was found and adjudicated. The books have been closed on the deviancy. All that remains is the impact on Colorado and Boebert's representative capabilities.

Are you mentally ill?
What does Lauren Boebert have to do with Joe Biden?
Bill Clinton is a literal rapist. Democrats still nominated her.
By your idiotic logic Nicole Simpson was complicit in her own murder because her husband was a murderer...
