   @tyil @dangillmor Look, fuck Genocide Joe any day of the week, yes, but there’s a bloody galaxy and a half of difference between pardoning innocent people you think a fascist is about to persecute and pardoning people who attempted to overthrow a democratically-elected government.

     @dangillmor@mastodon.social So pardoning your family and allies at the last second is okay, but doing it upfront is evil?

     So one of Trump's first actions was to pardon everyone who tried to violently overthrow the United States government four years ago.

     Think about that, journalists, as you continue to normalize a regime that plans to wipe out what you do (if you do it with integrity, that is).
