Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

The problem with trump’s next attempt at an armed rebellion is that he left the J6 traitors rotting in jail even when he was still president. He could have pardoned them all, but didn’t.
Are people really going to risk death or years in the federal pen a second time?
He seems to keep on getting people to sacrifice themselves for him. It's kind of a lifelong habit
For nothing, too. It's absolutely bizarre. He has an expansive history of just dumping people the moment they become less than useful, and people still go out of their way to lay under the next bus.
Probably yes. These people aren't the cream of the crop.
I think with all the chaos at the end of his term that he was talked out of pardoning them all (he wanted to originally). He has made it a promise to pardon most/all on day one when he is "being dictator for a day" as a campaign promise. And the fun of the cult is he 110% doesn't have to follow through on any of what he says/promises because he despises his followers and they love him for it.
Its like how you deal with killbots. You send wave after wave of troop at them until they hit the limit of their kill count and deactivate.
He wven said publicly he was going to pardon them, but not many have spoken up about it.
