Summary

Supporters of Donald Trump gathered outside Washington, DC’s Central Detention Facility to celebrate the release of January 6 prisoners following Trump’s sweeping pardons on his first day in office.

Trump issued “full, complete and unconditional” pardons for 1,500 individuals involved in the Capitol attack, including far-right leaders Stewart Rhodes and Enrique Tarrio, whose sentences were commuted.

The release sparked emotional reactions from families and supporters, though critics condemned the move, noting the violent acts committed by some of those pardoned.

The pardons have drawn widespread outrage from lawmakers.

I don’t doubt that he was capable of such a thing but I have no recollection of that from the history I’ve read and a search online and skim of his Wikipedia page isn’t providing anything to back that up either. Do you have a source or specifics I can search up to confirm your claim?

Wikipedia is just full of arrests and deaths, not pardons.

It makes it easier to convince friends of the Trump/Hitler parallels if I can back it up with sources.

That same Tuesday, March 21, an Article 48 decree was issued amnestying National Socialists convicted of crimes, including murder, perpetrated “in the battle for national renewal.” Men convicted of treason were now national heroes. The first concentration camp was opened that afternoon, in an old brewery near the town center of Oranienburg, just north of Berlin. The following day, the first group of detainees arrived at another concentration camp, in an abandoned munition plant outside the Bavarian town of Dachau.

Don’t forget they are not being released in isolation. They have existing networks and just proved their loyalty to the cause.

Well, they’ve already got underlying militia organizations like the proud boys, oath keepers, and three percenters. I’m guessing this is the end of the stand by stage and the beginning of your right wing death squads.

There are no consequences for being white pieces of traitorous garbage in America. Jay walk as a person of color and you’re getting 20 years in jail.
