'I’m facing a prison sentence': US Capitol rioters plead with Trump for pardons

"Ryan said she had been “displaying my patriotism”, adding: “I listen to my president who told me to go to the Capitol.”"

But, but, he had nothing to do with it! Right?

In any case, don't worry dear rebels/patriots/real-Amurkins. Daddy Don has your backs... right? Oh wait.

Per himself from half a year ago:

"“Anarchists, Agitators or Protestors who vandalize or damage our Federal Courthouse in Portland, or any Federal Buildings in any of our Cities or States, will be prosecuted under our recently re-enacted Statues & Monuments Act. MINIMUM TEN YEARS IN PRISON. Don’t do it!"

Wait... what? Oh I get it. I guess the above only applies to anyone who doesn't worship him. These people here were true American heroes trying to save the Constitution (by revolting against it). Gawd. I'm loving this.

That said, IMO current and future Presidential pardons need to be reviewed by a bi-partisan group or by the Supreme Court. Anyone with me?

"The NATO charter clearly says that any attack on a NATO member shall be treated, by all members, as an attack against all. So that means that, if we attack Greenland, we'll be obligated to go to war against ... ourselves! Gee, that's scary. You really don't want to go to war with the United States. They're insane!"
