Violent or Nonviolent? January 6ers Try to Parse Trump Pardon Remarks

“He’s an absolute nonviolent offender,” he said, adding that the only thing Rhodes was guilty of was “thought crime.”

Irony defined. Actions have consequences. (Or should.)

You mean like Osama bin Laden and/or Charles Manson? They didn’t DIRECTLY kill anyone, either. :roll_eyes: :face_with_symbols_over_mouth: :nauseated_face: :face_vomiting:

Bright’s comment made me laugh out loud. Why on earth would he volunteer a bodily part for a client? I mean- what the christ is in it for him? Does Rhodes have that much money?

Trump wants revenge. Which is why he will pardon every last one of his thugs.

Don’t be surprised when his thugs go after King Trump’s enemies

So Rhodes was just guilty of a thought crime? Fine, we’ll give him just a thought pardon. You know, we’ll think we gave him a pardon, but don’t.

Part of me thinks you’re entirely correct here. The other part thinks you’re giving his goons too much credit for learning ability and rational decision-making.

The turkey doesn’t look particularly scared of the ridiculous-looking shouty person to me.

This puts the bird ahead of, say, the Washington Post and ABC News.

James Lee Bright, an attorney for Oath Keepers leader Stewart Rhodes, told TPM “I would give my left fucking nut” to speak with Trump about a pardon.

Well now…

Just send me your fucking nut and I’ll put in a good word.

Might need your right nut to seal the deal though. I’ll be in touch.

He can call them his “Strong Staffers”, could probably work up some nifty logo for that… :thinking:

We’ve actually seen time and again that they have been effectively deterred from gathering in numbers for anything similar to J6. Rallies, yes, but not protests of official proceedings (i.e., court proceedings). They’re convinced that feds will trick people into rioting again, just like J6.

Their paranoia could be one of our most potent weapons.

Not even joking there. The open-to-conspiracy-theories thinkers (and I do use that term loosely) are constantly on the lookout for people trying to take advantage of them. Because they are. (For proof, just check out the ads on the RWNJ media sites. Or the business model that Alex Jones used to monetize his cruelty.)

It can sometimes provide a very powerful crowbar to start prying them out of their info-bubble.

President Donald Trump gives Butter, a National Thanksgiving Turkey, a pardon during a ceremony…

Though hypocrisy is on overdrive, irony and Caribou Barbie are still giving it the old college try, or maybe just a half hearted GED attempt.
