"On the campaign trail, Dummkopf Trumpf referred to the miscreants who attacked the US Capitol which injured USCP and MPD officers and caused millions of dollars of damage, as "unbelievable patriots" and promised to help them. On that infamous day these violent runamoks also threatened to lynch VPOTUS Mike Pence who the USSS barricaded in a safe location within Capitol Hill. After seizing power on 20 Jan 2025, Dummkopf Trumpf kept his promise and granted clemency to these maniacs, bleating: "What I did was a great thing for humanity. They were treated very, very unfairly."

Trumpf's pardons and commutations largely undid the results of one of the largest criminal probes in US history. The Department of Justice also conducted an investigation that involved over 5,000 federal agents and led to thousands of charges."

"At least six of the pardoned insurrectionists are charged with committing child sex crimes; five were charged with illegal possession of weapons, including two who had previous domestic violence convictions; and two were charged with rape. Among them were John Daniel Andries, a man in Maryland who was sentenced to 60 days in jail in June 2025 after repeatedly violating a peace order, similar to a restraining order, submitted by the mother of his child."

    If they J6 scum had been charged with sedition and treason like they should have been, many of these scumbags would have been put to death. They are not just criminals... they are anti-American terrorists.
