"If the roles were reversed and a Democratic president spent their first day releasing violent prisoners with links to white supremacist groups—people found guilty by a jury of their peers—there’d be outrage. It’s hard to call this anything but deeply hypocritical."
Please stop. You hate Trump, I get it. You complain about him not addressing the needs of the country on Day One and when I point out two things, you totally ignore it. "Jan 6th" was four years ago; you need to let it go. Over 1,200 people have been convicted and served some type of punishment for their actions that day. Once again, I will say POTUS of both parties have made horrible decisions on pardons. People make think this is one of them, I understand that. As several posters have said on this thread, the power of the POTUS to make pardons is not going to change in our lifetime.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts, but I’d like to clarify a few things. It’s not about “hating Trump”—it’s about holding any leader accountable to the promises they make and the standards they should uphold. If Trump is going to be president again, he’ll face the same scrutiny as any other president, and I believe it’s important to ensure he follows through on his commitments to the country. That’s not “complaining”—that’s expecting accountability.
As for January 6th, it was a significant event in our nation’s history, and discussing its aftermath or implications doesn’t mean people are “not letting it go.” It means we are acknowledging its impact and making sure lessons are learned to prevent similar events in the future.
If you find it difficult to engage with differing viewpoints or criticisms of public figures, perhaps reconsider starting political threads. Conversations about politics will naturally bring a mix of perspectives—both positive and negative—and that’s part of healthy dialogue.

Trump is dangerous.
Pardons for rabid insurrectionists would be unforgivable. Not just because of the nature of the individuals involved, but because of what it symbolizes.
It tells people that it’s okay to not respect democracy. A much much worse thing to do than the Hunter Biden pardon. MUCH worse.

I know I'm the resident loony libertarian, but the main mistake presidents have made regarding pardons is not issuing tens or hundreds of thousands of them to put a dent in our country's addiction to mass incarceration.

Starting with disadvantaged minorities being held in private jails!

Why doesn’t Biden pardon the 40 people currently on death row?

Pretty sure I read he just did/is about to do so. Their sentences would then become life in prison.

On January 20, 2025, President Donald Trump issued pardons to approximately 1,500 individuals convicted for their involvement in the January 6, 2021, U.S. Capitol attack. This action resulted in the release of individuals previously convicted of serious offenses, including assaulting law enforcement officers and seditious conspiracy.
Notably, leaders of extremist groups such as the Proud Boys and Oath Keepers, who had received substantial prison sentences, were among those granted clemency. The release of these individuals has significant implications for public safety and the justice system.
It is essential to acknowledge the return of these individuals into society and to consider the potential impacts on community security and the enforcement of legal accountability. This development underscores the importance of evaluating the balance between executive clemency powers and the upholding of judicial decisions in cases involving violent criminal conduct.

On January 6, 2021, Metropolitan Police Officer Mike Fanone faces brutal violence while defending the U.S. Capitol. He is dragged into a mob of rioters, beaten, and repeatedly tased in the back of his neck. Among his attackers is Daniel Rodriguez, who is later identified through Fanone’s body camera footage as the one who shocks him with a stun gun. Fanone suffers a heart attack and a traumatic brain injury from the assault and ultimately resigns from the Metropolitan Police Department.
In 2023, Rodriguez pleads guilty to multiple federal charges, including injuring an officer with a violent weapon, and receives a 12-and-a-half-year prison sentence. But now, he is fully pardoned and released after a political ally of Donald Trump advocates for his clemency, citing his loyalty to the former president. This controversial decision has sparked outrage, especially from those who believe accountability for January 6 should not be negotiable.
What do you think? Does this pardon set a dangerous precedent?
