    Biden said he didn’t pardon himself because “I didn’t do anything wrong”.

    So under that standard….

    President Joe Biden on Monday issued pardons for Gen. Mark Milley, Dr. Anthony Fauci and members of Congress who served on the committee investigating the January 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol.

    The pardons, coming in the final hours of Biden’s president, amount to an extraordinary flex of presidential power. They serve to protect several outspoken critics of President-elect Donald Trump, including former Republican Rep. Liz Cheney, whom Trump has vowed retribution against.”

    Fourteenth Amendment, Section 1:

    All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.”

    Based on the first sentence of Section 1, the Court has held that a child born in the United States of Chinese parents who were ineligible to be naturalized themselves is nevertheless a citizen of the United States entitled to all the rights and privileges of citizenship.1 The requirement that a person be subject to the jurisdiction thereof, however, excludes its application to children born of diplomatic representatives of a foreign state, children born of alien enemies in hostile occupation,2 or children of members of Indian tribes subject to tribal laws.3 In addition, the citizenship of children born on vessels in United States territorial waters or on the high seas has generally been held by the lower courts to be determined by the citizenship of the parents.4 Citizens of the United States within the meaning of this Amendment must be natural and not artificial persons; a corporate body is not a citizen of the United States.5

That’s why Trump won. He was adding insult to injury to the previous administration. The campaign is over. The election was over. It wasn’t, in my opinion, the place for it. Very little unifying words. It looked too much like a State of the Union speech.

    An interesting side note to all these Biden pardon’s, in legal terms (and Bitter is better fit to validate this, if what I read is correct) by pardoning these people, and their acceptance, they are viewed as guilty of a crime, because you can only be pardoned if guilty. It is why some are considering not taking/accepting his pardon

  108. “Apparently included in Biden’s final pardons were pardons for even the staff of the J6 Select Committee. Consequently, I think Trump should pardon, in mass, all the J6 prisoners. Since so much evidence was either destroyed or manipulated by the J6 Committee, I think all persecutions should be treated like “fruit from a poisonous tree” and nullified.”

    -Because of that pardon, I’m leaning more to this way of thinking now, although I would like those who committed violence to be pardoned at a later date from those who were just “trespassing”.

    -Again, not sure how making Democrats show support for ILLEGAL activity has a downside.

    Either 38 states pass it, or at the least, you provide a clear picture for all voters.

    There are videos of Hillary, Schumer and many other Democrats speaking out against illegals back in the 2006-2014 years, because voters agreed with that sentiment, and still do. Make it so the Democrats have to take a stand IN FAVOR OF ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION.

  116. I was disappointed by Trump’s speech. Way too harsh and blunt. 

    Some probably heard Trump’s speech in that way, while others have said they considered it one of the “best inaugural speech’s” ever given. I personally liked his tone, and it detailed the bulk of EOs he was ready to sign. Sure, there were fragments of campaign speeches filtered throughout this speech, along with a refined notification of how government was changing under his leadership. Trump’s rhetoric, however, has not been known for soaring, fluffy commentary. Rather, he has always portrayed himself as a pragmatist utilizing common sense over empty promises or congeniality.

    CNN — pardons for all non-violent offenders. Communtations (time served??) for all in prison. All pending cases not yet having gone to trial will be dismissed. “According to sources knowledgable about the plan.” This is the rumor I heard 15 minutes ago.

The fact the environment was changed where many were encouraged to enter the ”People’s House,” and then charged with trespassing would not be legitimized in any other criminal trial. And, even journalists or those walking around the outside were arrested…..and yet those who destroyed evidence, perjured themselves were given Biden pardons!!!

    -I have asked this before, don’t recall getting a satisfactory answer.

    The Capitol is not off-limits at all times. They do tours of the building. If you were way back in the crowd that walked to the Capitol that day, you most likely were not aware there had been fighting between protesters and cops. Then, you come upon an authority figure who is waving you thru the Capitol doors, and you proceed in and follow thru the building without committing any crimes, and then depart, I would not call that “trespassing”.

    At other times, if you don’t follow the directives of law enforcement, that would get you locked up. But in this case, when they wave people in, that is “trespassing”.

    First they said Boyland died of an overdose. Then they changed their story saying she was “trampled to death.” Bitter of course believed that version, as it fits his own take on it. This version also is planted on the first pages of internet searches, like Google is known to do to suppress more truthful stories. Then more video emerged dealing with the beating, and a man trying to revive her, and was later arrested for “attacking” the female officer beating her. Julie Kelly backs up those who witnessed an unconscious Boyland being beaten.
