▪️ Post articles about the US only

▪️ Title must match the article headline

▪️ Recent (Past 30 Days)

▪️ No Screenshots/links to other social media sites or link shorteners

Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. One or two small paragraphs are okay.

to be the devils advocate. Most of them also stupidly expected them to honor his word that he would move through the list of pardons with a fine comb, and that people who participated peacefully were pardoned but the people who were violent during the protest were not.

Spoiler alert: He didn't. I personally think his descision to just blanket pardon was done last minute, I think it was decided the moment he was told about Bidens last second pardons. He's never had very good anger management, so I think he did it out of anger. Which also doesn't look good.
