[he who has thus come/gone]

Every single person convicted of any offenses related to the events that occurred at or near the Capitol on January 6, 2021.

I wonder how this will extend to people who were raided because of January 6, and then charged with other crimes? Like, if you had illegal items in your home and you were additionally charged with possession of those items, will the pardon extend to those additional charges? I don't see that happening, but some of the January 6 people were certainly charged with additional things upon closer investigation following search and seizure warrants.

EOs are in the ready position.

That's the presidential PS2. The election results are only final once Trump beats Biden at a round of Gran Turismo 4.

Trump just pardoned 1,500 J6ers, apparently.

If Merrick Garland had given them speedy trials and DC judges had given them an impartial forum, he would never be able (politically speaking) to do this. As it stands, Russia has been justifiably dunking on the Biden administration for political bias on their handling of J6. This is the reversal of a national embarrassment.

Chauvin is State charges.

Chauvin also has some federal charges (21 years) added on to the State charges (22 1/2 years). It'd be hilarious if Trump pardoned the federal charges, though.

There are other issues with the economy, but the lack of decent-paying blue-collar jobs is a huge problem. Many Americans are working 2 jobs in a service economy, instead of relying on one member of the household in a manufacturing economy.

I'm so glad someone mentioned this. All the liberal screeching about tariffs really misses the point -- let's build it here!

Ties in interestingly with Trump's return-to-office mandate for Federal employees. Our service economy is so chock-full of corporate nothing email jobs. Real, decent work provides real, decent wages. Especially with a taut immigration system and tariffs that protect our workers.

Also bring back the gold standard please!!!

Hoping Ross Ulbricht is pardoned or has his sentence commuted tonight.

Chauvin is State charges.

He was sentenced to 252 months for civil rights violations and is in BOP custody in Texas. I think there were some tax charges, too, but they might have been dropped. If he was pardoned on the Federal conviction, he'd be released from BOP custody and sent to the Minneapolis prison system, which is probably worse than where he is now.

The EU is occupied by a enemy regime at this point we must break them.

They will bend before the Emperor, or they will break before him!

That Birthright EO probably isn't going survive SCOTUS even with a Rebublican majoriy. Liberals are right in that Birthright citizenship is more baked in than just one EO can fix.

Flood the zone. Overload them with so much crazy stuff they are forced to focus their fight on lighting rod issues while you get lots other stuff passed.

He better include the files on Huey Long's and John MacAfee's assassination as well as the ones on Don Henry and Kevin Ives deaths

My favorite Biden moment occurred on Easter when they dressed the THANK YOU chick up in a bunny costume and she had to physically interpose herself between Biden and the reporters to keep him away from them.

That was great, but you're not going to top calling the pope "the famous African American baseball player in America" or calling Zelensky Putin

 

[Donald_J_Trump]

Can these fucking journos ask one fucking question that's relevant to your average American citizen?

"PRESIDENT TRUMP PRESIDENT TRUMP CAN YOU TELL US ABOUT DROOOOOOOONES????"

 

[Terrifik]

Day 8 of Trump presidency he'll already have implemented everything and have carpal tunnel. He will be hosting a livestream asking for more ideas of shit to do.

You already known the answer to that anon the financial controller bill that got killed first in 2020.

Hoping Ross Ulbricht is pardoned or has his sentence commuted tonight.

Logically speaking, if he pardoned all of the J6ers, a pardon or commutation for Ross after a decade behind bars won't be that controversial. I'm optimistic that it's done today or early tomorrow.

Who dat?

He’s slowly working his way up to the main event. Total Tranny Death. At the stroke of a pen.

I may be misinformed on the facts, so please correct me if I am wrong, okay?
What precisely is the issue with jobs?
If being located in America means opening up jobs for America, the person making the argument presupposes that a substantial number of American workers are not able to find jobs. I have yet to encounter data, statistics, news reports, or op eds claiming such. Rather, I have seen the opposite, companies failing to find employees. (well, duh, a "failure to find employees" is nothing more than a "failure to find employees at XYZ wage and working conditions")
Plus, through the consequences of tariffs, any gains that workers could get from new jobs are likely to be erased by the higher prices that the tariffs cause. A tariff is a net loss to the country that implements it. Tariffs reduce the American level of wages.

It depends on the economic sector. If there is one that basically does not exist anymore, of course the job vacancies will be written off. Take a look at the Rust Belt for example. Mining and Manufacturing got moved to China for a cheaper price. In turn, goods were cheaper, but with a significant decrease in quality.
And about "companies failing to find employees": What kind of jobs? The bottom of the barrel shit that barely pays anything for the amount of work being put in with the constant threat of being replaced on a whim? Come on.

For the erection of tariff walls has the same effect as the erection of real walls. It is significant that the protectionists habitually use the language of warfare. They talk of ‘repelling an invasion’ of foreign products. And the means they suggest in the fiscal field are like those of the battlefield. The tariff barriers that are put up to repel this invasion are like the tank traps, trenches, and barbed-wire entanglements created to repel or slow down attempted invasion by a foreign army.

The last paragraph of this quote is one of the most kikish shit I've ever read and I'm going to disregard it entirely just out of spite.

Nonetheless, there are several other posts explaining this topic a lot better than I ever could.
