Life with a criminal president.

More preparations in advance of a coup. I wonder if the pardons will cover murder?

Good thing we have a system of checks and balances to protect us from a power-grabbing executive.

Err...

Can Trump pardon war criminals?

One thing is for sure, Democrats aren't going to do anything.

Thanks, SCOTUS and all those folks that stayed home because there's no difference between the two parties.

He knows he will have to. Progressives are bitter, angry people.

They will want retribution for anyone going against their ideological beliefs.

STFU idiot.

As usual, your accusation is nothing more than an admission.

#10 | Posted by jpw at 2026-04-10 05:24 PM

In case anyone forgot, Trump is a convicted felon and the GOP continued to support him. The entire party right down to the voters don't give a shit about law, justice and the Constitution.

Sadly Morris, for Muslims in the Middle East, there is little difference in either American political party.

Ask the Palestinians, Lebanese, or Iranians.

On Tuesday 5 Nov 2024, the Palestinian death count in Gaza was 67,000 to 68,000 human beings.

The total death count as of April 2026 is approximately 75,200 dead Palestinians.

Therefore, the majority of Palestinians butchered by the IDF to make way for luxury resorts in Gaza occurred while the Democrats were in power.

How so many Democrats can live with blood on their hands is anyone's guess.


And callous AIPAC Democrats expect to be rewarded with our vote on Tuesday 3 Nov 2026.

The founders never thought the country would elect a party this criminal so they gave us no defense against it.

I love this heavy handed trolling.

It's so lazy and stupid.

#15 | Posted by ClownShack at 2026-04-10 05:58 PM

Gee, I wonder where he got the idea of pre-emotive pardons.

#16 | Posted by lfthndthrds at 2026-04-10 06:08 PM

He ain't pardoning anyone. He'll die in prison or stroke out.

Fuck off you god-damned ignorant pile of shit. The only person doing that is a fat, orange-faced pedophile you (allegedly) voted for 3 times.
Enough with this MAGAT fairy-tale fucking bullshit.

Alcee Hastings impeached and removed by the Senate.

Elected to the House.

The first President was guilty of high treason,along with many other forefathers.

#20 | Posted by Petrous at 2026-04-10 06:16 PM

"Argh! You'll all be pardoned! Blargh!"

The words of an "innocent" man to protect his kapos.

#21 | Posted by C0RI0LANUS at 2026-04-10 06:18 PM

Um, can I get mine now, please? You know, I always thought you were the best president ever and I mean it. Really ...

#12 Caius Marcius Coriolanus actually says, "And callous AIPAC Democrats expect to be rewarded with our vote on Tuesday 3 Nov 2026."

The message here:

Callous AIPAC Republicans expect to be rewarded with our vote on Tuesday 3 Nov 2026 ...

Because callous AIPAC Republicans are not callus AIPAC Democrats

Wow, that's alarming.

Maybe you should stock up on granola and tampons so you can appeal to us in our pussified language?

I PRAY you are on the ICE registry.

Accepting a pardon means admission of guilt.

What are they gonna do, get retribution by banning your username, and then you just come back under a new username?

Be very afraid. The blue hair women with penises want revenge. You had better buy more guns.

#14 | Posted by THEBULL

Leftists have next to zero power in this country. Conservative principles have dominated this country for decades, as it gets worse and worse for everyone except rich criminals.

#16 | Posted by lfthndthrds

Trump would have done this either way. Biden pardoned people to protect them from fascist crooks. Trump is pardoning people BECAUSE they are fascist crooks.

Biden, right?
Those were bad.
Trump should not be doing that.

Except that's not your point at all.

#36 | Posted by snoofy at 2026-04-10 07:29 PM

Arrest them.
Declare them non-citizens.
Deport them to Iran immediately ignoring any court order.
Wait for Supreme Court to order us to "Work" on returning them.
Iran says no.
Nothing we can do. Oh well.

Problem solved.
