“Forgiveness feels far more personal. It feels like it HAS to be more personal.” Tech executive Matt Mizenko discusses the differences between being forgiven and being pardoned.

Cuellar had zero intention of becoming a Republican, noting that he did not know why Trump may have assumed that. When Cuellar made clear he was not switching parties, Trump aired his frustrations on X and endorsed the top GOP candidate running against him, Tano Tijerina. The president also made clear that he had no regrets about pardoning Cuellar.

None of which is relevant to #AlexPretti’s straight up #murder by #CBP on Jan 24.

#Trump’s characterization of the Jan 13 video is ridiculous especially given his #Jan6 #pardons.

The agents on Jan 13 didn’t even give Pretti a citation, or get his name. It is highly unlikely that on Jan 24 they knew he was the same person. Anyway it’s completely irrelevant since it was an entirely separate incident.

Liberals, conservatives & nonpartisan experts noted how the admin’s response differed from past conservative positions involving #protests & #weapons.

Multiple #Trump supporters were found to have weapons during the #Jan6, 2021, attack on the US Capitol. Trump issued blanket #pardons to all of them.

"#Trump issued more #pardons this week, again rewarding his allies & those who had funneled money to his associates or donated to his political operation.

After Camberos’ sentence was #commuted by #Trump in 2021, she was #convicted again in 2024 in an unrelated #fraud. When she was pardoned in the new case this week, it marked the second time Trump had opened the #prison gates for her.

The #pardons, most of which have not been previously reported, were supported by people with close ties to Trump’s orbit, including lawyers who had previously worked for him.

"Trump🚨pardons more convicted — but well connected — fraudsters."

He flaunts his SCOTUS "impunity" to everyone. Most people in the US, and the world, are aghast at his brazen corruption, & the GOP MOC who embolden & excuse him.
