  1. ***From Rolling Stone’s Peter Wade:***

    Donald Trump, in addition to saying he wants to pardon those who attacked the Capitol on Jan. 6, said that members of the Jan. 6 committee “should go to jail” for investigating him.

    “Everybody on that committee … for what they did, yeah, honestly, they should go to jail,” Trump said on Sunday’s Meet the Press.

    He also claimed that former Rep. Liz Cheney and Rep. Bennie Thompson, who co-chaired the committee, were “behind” his federal prosecutions.

    “Honestly, they should go to jail for what they did,” Trump said.

  2. Sure, why not?

    Ask Assad (and his gassing of his own people) how well trying to legislate history in your favor works in the long run…

  3. Can we start making the fascism comparisons yet? Or is it still ‘offensive’?

  7. Nope, nothing fascist about this from the Mr 34 felonies.

  9. Welp, that makes it easy for Biden to know who to write out a “pardon” for, though they don’t really need one.

  11. And the stupid mainstream media are upset at Biden for considering a blanket pardon for these people. Watch them all be very upset if that happens, but not at all if Trump tries to prosecute the J6 leaders.

  14. Trump belongs in a cell for the plethora of crimes he’s committed. Trump voters and non-voters gave him a get out jail free card per case and now that he conned them, sadly again, his leopards are already feasting.

  15. [The cool thing about imprisoning sitting members of Congress is that if someone wanted to stop the president then it would probably have to be sitting members of Congress, so if you just arrest them then the people you just arrested can’t say you’re not allowed to arrest them. Checkmate, democracy.](https://www.reddit.com/r/politics/s/CKOSnVul4r)

    At least if it comes down to it the officials sent to do the detaining can realize that what they’re being ordered to do is illegal and – oh the DOJ and DOD belong to the executive and he can totally order them to do that and the only recourse is one of the other branches actually being willing to step in? Nevermind.

    This is only literally how dictatorships happen, every time, dozens of times, throughout all of human history. You send the men with weapons to get rid of the people who have the authority to say you aren’t allowed to send the men with weapons.

  16. Trump wants to imprison innocent lawmakers.

    I want Trump sentenced for his felony conviction.

    Who has a better case here under the law?

  18. So, the felon POTUS wants his fellow felons from January 6th, 2021 to be free but those whose job it is to investigate illegal acts, especially against the Capitol, imprisoned?

    Hmmm seems like a circus of a country.

  20. He said this during his campaign, and even before. I don’t know why this act is like a surprise to anyone.

  21. totally normal thing to say in a functioning democracy…uhhh.

    thanks Merrick Garland.

  22. That’s the dumbest shit ever. Unbelievable that people are ok with this clown and actually want to listen to this blow hard for the next indefinite amount of years. Fuck all you dumb idiots for voting this criminal piece of shit into office.

  23. The shame of re-electing this man will never go away

  24. Republican voters that traded democracy for the price of eggs to go down (which it won’t). You’re complicit, idiotic, pieces of shit.
