  1. >“House Republicans are celebrating pardons issued to a bloodthirsty mob that violently assaulted police officers on January 6, 2021. What happened to backing the Blue?” House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) posted Tuesday on Threads.

    >“Far right extremists have become the party of lawlessness and disorder,” he continued. “Don’t ever lecture America again.”

    >“About anything.”

  2. Im curious to see how these pardons lower the consumer price index or the cost of groceries.. approaching 5pm ET and egg prices and gas haven’t moved…

  3. It’s not at all surprising that such a radical extremist like Jeffries would ignore the well-organized and well-funded BLM & ANTIFA protesters trying to burn down American cities for several months following George Floyd’s drug overdose death and then lie here about a mostly peaceful protest.

    The man is a racist and an idiot tool of democrat party oligarchs.

  5. It’s happened in record time…the rule of law has died.

  6. He had to pardon them, because sometime in the next 4 years, he is going to need his personal army again. They already proved they will follow his orders regardless of the law or consequences. And real military will eventually have to say no to him. Maybe more than once. Remember I said this.

  7. Of course he is right about that as per usual. The GOP better not get into any of that nonsense AND they better not just even think about speaking up on any kind of issues either on Capitol Hill OR just somewhere out in public either until they are ready to just FINALLY get their motherfucking heads right in the game and help their fellow Democrats deliver REAL solutions on REAL issues. OK? And uhhh……as a matter of fact, all of what I had just said tonight oughta apply to our absolutely, positively and most definitely moronic president, Donald J. Trump, as well.

  8. Criminal pieces of shit. I fucking hate the gop more than anything!

  9. The gop is now the party of law and disorder with a felon at the top of the ticket.

  10. And the USA should stop lecturing the rest of the world about democracy and freedom.

  11. I really think Hakim Jeffries would have had a good chance to win the presidency since we can’t seem to trust a woman. Maybe in 2028, I think he’s a great speaker and a rare honest politician and well liked.

  12. More on this subject from other reputable sources:

  13. I’m actually shocked he actually pardoned them.

    In the end what does it give him? He could have easily just lied about doing it and then blaming some hang over Biden official when he was called out..

    Even if we see another election again, he doesn’t need their votes or sympathy.

    Unless he’s going to rouse them up to do something far worse than storm the capital building.

  14. We all knew this was going to happen. Chaos and confusion that’s what dictators do.

  15. Beyond disgusting….i believe Trump and his cronies were responsible for the assault on the US Capitol, the attempt to get Mike Pence to kick back the results of the election in order to return Trump to power and now Trump is President again (WTF) and he pardons these scumbags. Beyond belief.. I am so far beyond being sick and tired of Republicans and others who give Trump so much power. He should have been run out of politics the day after he announced he was running for President the first time.
