Today marks the end of an error, the Joe Biden error. 🙂
Second,
It’s MLK Day, and how Democrats have completely bastardized this part of his message.
“I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character. – Martin Luther King, Jr.“
And yet now due to DEI policies, character means nothing, it’s all about skin color, sexual orientation, and checking the right grievance boxes, and not being a straight white male. They made his dream a nightmare.
I laughed when I read this. I don’t know what’s more humorous, the sweeping pardon’s themselves or the idea that Biden has a ‘conscience’. At least now these people can’t use the 5th amendment to cover up the truth of what happened.
”
President Joe Biden preemptively pardoned former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Retired Gen. Mark Milley, Anthony Fauci, and members of the January 6 Committee — with just hours left in his administration.
In a statement released Monday morning at 7 a.m. — just several hours before President-Elect Donald Trump’s inauguration, the White House issued a statement from Biden touting them “dedicated, selfless public servants.”
He claimed he believed in the rule of law, but said, “But these are exceptional circumstances, and I cannot in good conscience do nothing.”……
On a lighter and purely ‘girly’ note, I was looking forward to seeing Melania’s outfit. I still remember her beautiful periwinkle suit at the first inauguration. The somber black reflects a less hopeful and cheerful mood to me. I don’t blame her. She and Barron were not treated well the first time she lived in the WH. It would not hurt my feelings if the Trumps lived more in Mar-a-lago and even received state guests there if they choose. Stilll, I do hope Melania leaves her personal imprint on the WH as most First Ladies do. I wish them well as a family—and the Biden’s too. Joe should have retired 4 years ago to relax on Rehoboth beach with his family and an ice cream cone.
Sadly yes, they appear to be valid. Lincoln used them after the Civil War to absolve traitorous southerners for their crimes. Other presidents have used them as well.
But some of these characters have other crimes to target, not Jan6 committee related, which is what the pardons are for specifically. Like Mr. Russia, Russia, Russia, Shifty Schiff, the clown the idiot voters of Cali keep foisting on the rest of us.
This is just the ultimate scumbag move by a scumbag senile president and the puppet masters pulling his strings.
These pardons should clearly be challenged as Biden is senile and incapable of governance.
A real R party with real leaders would have forced him out at least after the IG report that said he was incapacitated and unable to be tried. But we have a #USELESSGOP led by weak men. This is just one more example of that.
The Biden DoJ just sent a letter to the courts pointing out that accepting a pardon by soon to be released Jan6 political prisoners is an admission of guilt.
So the same must be true for Milley, Cheney, and Fauci, right….?
Biden has probably done the country a favor by pardoning these people. Realistically they were never going to see jail time anyway, and the pardons do indicate guilt. Now they have no legal reason or ability to hide behind the 5th amendment. You can’t be given a pardon for something you may do in the future and if they continue to lie to Congress they can be prosecuted for that. Don’t despair. These people are very arrogant, so if you are insistent on seeing them behind bars you may still get the opportunity.
“Dr. Anthony Fauci funded gain-of-function research at the Wuhan lab, lied to Congress about it, and both the FBI and the Department of Energy have concluded that the coronavirus likely originated there.
Now that he has been pardoned, Congress should again force Dr. Fauci to testify under oath.
Evidence strongly suggests that Fauci’s funding supported research leading to the creation of SARS-CoV-2, the virus responsible for the COVID-19 pandemic. SARS-CoV-2 is unique among betacoronaviruses for having a furin cleavage site, a feature that enhances its ability to infect humans and spread rapidly.
In 2018, Fauci-funded scientists proposed adding a furin cleavage site to a betacoronavirus at the Wuhan lab, which reportedly had inadequate biosafety standards. One year later, SARS-CoV-2 emerged in Wuhan with this exact feature.
Unlike prior outbreaks such as SARS and MERS, where links between infected humans and animals were quickly established, no such evidence has surfaced for SARS-CoV-2 more than five years after it first appeared.
Dr. Fauci has been a consistent advocate for gain-of-function research, funding high-risk experiments and facilitating technology transfers to questionable labs worldwide. After a 2014 U.S. pause on such research due to safety concerns, Fauci continued these experiments abroad, including at the Wuhan lab.
The evidence overwhelmingly suggests that Fauci’s funding and actions played a critical role in the creation of SARS-CoV-2.”
I would say the J6 pardons indicate relief from actually damages being inflicted by the court or FBI investigators. But for officials who already have significant legal leeway because of their positions to be preemptively pardoned is indicative of either guilt or intense fear of damages to be inflicted by a future investigation. And it probably depends on where you stand politically whether you believe it’s fear or guilt. For my part, when I hear all these public figures babble on about the fear of being falsely prosecuted I think of the scripture that says (paraphrased) ‘the wicked flee when no one is chasing’. These guys sound like they have guilty consciences.
“BREAKING:Adam Kinzinger is linked to the pro-Ukraine organization Ripley’s Heroes, which is said to have defrauded millions of dollars and is currently under federal investigation.”
“The seeking of pardons is powerful demonstration of the consciousness of guilt, or at least the consciousness that you may be in trouble. And that’s what’s so shocking…”
Yes, Melania’s outfit is very severe looking compared to her outfit last year. I think it may be a nod to suggest gravitas. Hopefully, she will be treated better than the last time. I hope hats come back in for women myself.
From commentary on Fox, it seems she is back in favor with the designers who snubbed previously. I think they feel the tide of the people and want to sell their designs and make money and not be snubbed themselves.
Maybe this is a good day/time for the nation to find some common ground in our traditions, form of government, peaceful transfers of power, and the nation’s irrepressible spirit of hope in good times and bad.
There will be time to bicker again, but today (I’d think?) would be a day to unite (and, as every day is no matter who is seemingly “in charge,” to pray for God’s favor on our nation.
Kathaleena, I’m with you regarding hats. I wear them regularly anyway but they would be easier to find and the selection better if they were in style again.
I saw the Capitol flag was supposed to be raised full staff for the inauguration, but the ropes were frozen ( Jimmy’s final statement). One of the first executive orders written was that the flag would be raised full staff for presidential inaugurations.
Funny reel showed Trump trying to give Melania a quick kiss on the cheek. He missed due to her hat being in the way.
Peltier has had his sentence commuted and will be released. Finally. I never understood why Clinton or Obama didn’t do it already.
But preemptive pardons are weird. Several of the 37 federal death row prisoners want to turn down the commutation of their death sentence. As they are appealing their conviction, they are afraid accepting the commuting of the death sentence to life will be an admission of their guilt. A new definition of Catch – 22 I suppose. I guess that means anyone accepting a preemptive pardon is admitting guilt. And then things get weird if they can or can’t claim the Fifth.
Those on the right like to characterise the social left as motivated by grievance. However, the scorn and desire for revenge I see on social media exhibited by some Trump supporters makes me wonder who is more motivated by grievance. I suppose the argument will probably debase into whose grievances are “legitimate”. Nobody really wins here.
On the other hand, perhaps if Trump is motivated by grievance and the past perhaps he will forget about Panama, Greenland, and Canada. Chasing policies of grievances may lead to gridlock similar to the Republican controlled House which accomplished little. I for one favor gridlock but that’s just me.
Eight years ago, I thought Melania was uncomfortable with the “first lady” role. A role utterly foreign to a European. It’s your spouse’s job not yours. My attempt to read her mind may be completely off but I see her thought process in marrying Trump was about alimony, inheritance, a better career or something but definitely not the President’s wife. She initially seemed uncomfortable then with American customs — Christmas decor, Thanksgiving, Easter egg hunt etc. I think she adjusted well by the end of the four years or at least made her peace with it.
She also seems to be more comfortable with Trump’s business. The Trump meme coin already “dumped” and now the Melania coin has been issued and the “pump” is on. Critics say Trump made billions on his coin but that’s a misunderstanding on how it works — the Trump coin was “valued” at 25$ billion but the minute the dump started the value drops. How much they grabbed is a mystery. Not much different if Musk sold his Tesla stock — the value will collapse before he could sell it all.
The “tell” of the inauguration for me was the prominent seating for the tech oligarchs. Seated in front of the cabinet and more prominent than other political leaders, it seems symbolic of oligarch rule — the mask is off.
Others on the left are highlighting Trump’s left hand on his side not on the Bible when he was swore in. Weird but I don’t think it matters. Some suggest it is symbolic of his use and now discarding of his evangelical supporters.
A few posts have suggested “dry January” should end early this year. I did think yesterday that it offered a perfect excuse for me but I’ve avoided the liquor store. I can wait till February.
Weird or not, the preemptive pardons may be a saving grace for Trump who otherwise might be tempted to overstep.
Melania has indicated she’ll be staying (at least) an arm’s length away from the White House this time around.
I didn’t hear the speech so can’t actually comment. Have heard different “takes” on it.
One legitimate question I heard was what, exactly, he may have meant about “taking back” the Panama Canal — and what would that look like? (Assuming he wants to keep it all peaceful … ?)
I know, the day’s only half over, but there are (and will be) legitimate and valid questions and criticism. All fair game. (I have found that it’s easier to be part of the loyal opposition, which has the easier role — and an important one in our nation.)
And he looked serious about Panama . You know how I feel about wars, so we’ll have to wait and see how that goes. I gathered that he thinks China is practically running things there. He may be right. That sort of thing tends to happen when you’re minding everyone else’s business and neglecting your own back yard .
Kathaleena, technically true, of course, but … the stark black with the straight-brimmed hat worn low (OK, that’s more an Amish male look) kind of gave off that vibe. 🙂
Curious about Vance’s wife, seems she’s accomplished in her won rite – but not very political; she strikes me also as shy (in a good way), not liking the limelight (also good), and so this environment could prove challenging.
“This proclamation ends a grave national injustice that has been perpetrated upon the American people over the last four years and begins a process of national reconciliation.Acting pursuant to the grant of authority in Article II, Section 2, of the Constitution of the United States, I do hereby:(a) commute the sentences of the following individuals convicted of offenses related to events that occurred at or near the United States Capitol on January 6, 2021, to time served as of January 20, 2025:•
