Damn. 1st MAGA, now BAHA.
President Joe Biden’s senior aides are conducting a vigorous internal debate over whether to issue preemptive pardons to a range of current and former public officials who could be targeted with President-elect Donald Trump’s return to the White House, according to senior Democrats familiar with the discussions.
Those who could face exposure include such members of Congress’ Jan. 6 Committee as Sen.-elect Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) and former GOP Rep. Liz Cheney of Wyoming. Trump has previously said Cheney “should go to Jail along with the rest of the Unselect Committee!” Also mentioned by Biden’s aides for a pardon is Anthony Fauci, the former head of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases who became a lightning rod for criticism from the right during the Covid-19 pandemic.
They also convinced a lot of groups they should protest because "their small group won't matter, but will be prioritized."Aaron Rupar (@atrupar.com)
New in PN: Trump ran on identity politics and won "Trump built his coalition by stoking shared grievances. He didn’t campaign on making life better for certain identity groups. He campaigned by mobilizing people against ones they loathe and fear."...bsky.app

Aaron Rupar (@atrupar.com)@atrupar.com you're the only person in the media that seems to understand what happened. Kamala talked about specific problems and how she would try to solve them. Trump talked about specific people being problems and how he was going to hurt them.

He encouraged rage, revenge, hate and fear. Those who voted for him must really have pent up rage, revenge, hate and fear strangulating their warped minds.

Trump won because he appealed to the dumb people and sadly, there are more dumb people in merica now than ever before.

He is the world's biggest divider and liar. The only reason he won was because he appealed to those who hate the same people and concepts he hates.

I’ve been saying it all along. Trump voters don’t vote for him to fix anything. They don’t don’t care about the price of eggs. They vote for him to inflict as much pain and suffering on the people they hate the most. That’s how they measure success.

It works. We should do the same. real enemy already exists. The wealthy corporate parasite class represents the biggest direct threat to human rights, prosperity, and ecological stability.
If the electorate needs something to hate, we should give them something productive to hate.

oesn't matter. He'll be President for four years, stay out of prison, and can't run again anyway. He could play golf every day and do nothing for four years. We would be better off if he did that.

Standard authoritarian politics, they don't unite people together, they divide society 'them Vs us', so long as 'them' are easily identifiable & ones people can fear or hate. They have no solutions apart from yet more fear & hate

wasn't this illegal when Trump wanted to do it?
But wouldn’t that mean they appear as guilty of what they did.
