So one of Trump's first actions was to pardon everyone who tried to violently overthrow the United States government four years ago.
Think about that, journalists, as you continue to normalize a regime that plans to wipe out what you do (if you do it with integrity, that is).

@lin11c @dangillmor why do you use slurs for the dumb nick name. It's not needed

Will anyone do anything to stop this? The "Supreme" Court is good with this? It's the start on the Dotard Traitor's private SS army.

@tyil @dangillmor Look, fuck Genocide Joe any day of the week, yes, but there’s a bloody galaxy and a half of difference between pardoning innocent people you think a fascist is about to persecute and pardoning people who attempted to overthrow a democratically-elected government.

@dangillmor@mastodon.social So pardoning your family and allies at the last second is okay, but doing it upfront is evil?

@aral@mastodon.ar.al @dangillmor@mastodon.social Both seem to boil down to "pardoning for personal reasons" to me. You can't be in favour of it when it suits you then be upset when it doesn't suit you, unless you want to look like some sort of hypocrite. Be real, be honest, and reject bad faith actions regardless of whether the actor is in your camp or not.

@Tenor2JT@mastodon.social @aral@mastodon.ar.al If you cannot see a comment you disagree with as anything but bad faith, you really need to reconsider your life choices. Reasonable, good hearted people don't just assume bad faith because they don't like the message.

@tyil @aral very hard not to see this comment as one made in bad faith.
