Violent criminals were still pardoned. Your reaction? Do you stand with the blue? Do you support the pardon a someone who was convicted of stabbing an officer in the neck with a stun gun?

quote:

“J6ers who beat cops” is a misleading frame, to put it politely.

They are people who already served more time than most people with similar offenses. Anything extra is political imprisonment. That’s the right frame.

Blame for the violence is not limited to the offenders. It is one-third because our election systems, by design, signaled to half the country that an election was stolen. I agree they might be wrong. The election design flaw — lack of transparency — combined with an odd “come from behind everywhere that mattered” and the violation of past bellweather patterns, signaled corruption.

If the protesters were right, and I’d bet they were, given that every other American institution has been confirmed to be crooked, they acted in the American tradition.

The other one-third blame for the violence is with Pelosi and Milley and whoever else turned down the right amount of security.

In other words, it was an inviting trap. Intentional or otherwise. If protesters saw no hope of getting into the Capitol, would they have acted so aggressively?

This is where the NPCs claim everyone including Trump “knew” it was a fair election. No, that is fucking stupid. There is no way for any citizen to know who won any federal election unless the winner is outside the inner circle, like Trump, and still wins all the swing states.

We don’t even know why voting machines exist, unless the purpose is cheating. Has anyone claimed they are faster, cheaper, more secure, easier to maintain or more trusted than paper? Nope.

And again, the context is every other system in America, from finance to science to healthcare to every part of government, is somewhat obviously corrupt.

But the elections are pure? You’d have to be very…young to believe that.

You actually did. Totally.you said it was four years ago.

And sure, the crime happened 4 years ago, but I'm not sure when the convictions rolled in, or when anyone started serving time. For the crimes they were connected of, or plead guilty.

'View' hosts do doubletake when Fetterman calls charges against Trump 'politically motivated' | Nikolas Lanum & Alexa Moutevelis, Fox News

'The judicial system gets weaponized and targeted political enemies for political gain,' the Pennsylvania Democrat said

Pennsylvania Democratic Sen. John Fetterman told "The View" on Monday that he believes the New York criminal trial against President Donald Trump was "politically motivated."

While discussing Trump and former President Joe Biden's controversial pardons, Fetterman said, "I also agree that the trial in this city, in New York, was politically motivated, that wouldn’t otherwise have been prosecuted if it was someone else."

Co-host Sunny Hostin seemed surprised and brought the conversation back around after, "Just for clarification, did you mean that the 34-count case in which Donald Trump was found guilty of various financial crimes was politically motivated here in New York?"

"I found that when the judicial system gets weaponized and targets political enemies for political gain, I think that’s inappropriate," Fetterman confirmed.

"I think that degrades our collective trust in this very important institution, whether that’s a Democrat going after a Republican, or a Republican going after a Democrat," he said. "I like to call it strikes and balls, but the judicial system has to remain impartial. I mean, that’s really the cornerstone of our society."

Trump was sentenced to an unconditional discharge in early January after being found guilty on charges of falsifying business records stemming from Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s yearslong investigation.

Fetterman also responded to accusations that his views and policies have shifted to the right, saying he would make "a pretty terrible Republican."

Hostin asked about his "commitment" to the Democratic Party considering his recent decision to join Truth Social and his views on issues like fracking and immigration.

Fetterman also met with Trump at Mar-a-Lago ahead of his second inauguration on January 20, telling Fox News that he is a senator "for all Pennsylvanians" — not just Democrats.

He told "The View" he had a "positive" meeting with Trump and found him to be "kind" and "cordial."

Some of these actions have fueled speculation online that Fetterman may change his party affiliation one day.

The Pennsylvania senator told "The View" that he rejects the pardons given by Trump to January 6 defendants and has gone on record stating that he will not join the Republican Party.

Fetterman has already said that ain't gonna happen. I don't expect him to be adversarial unless he has reason.
