2. This should not even be a debate. Those folks will be hunted

And legally harassed for the rest of their lives.

Traitor and his minions have promised that and I believe them

[Bluetus]

27. Absolutely. And don't stop with Fauci, Schiff and Cheney.

Do a pardon for everybody Trump, Patel or any of the other fascists have ever mentioned for retribution. If that is 1000 pardons, so much the better. That will illustrate what a threat these fascists are.

3. please set up a website for anyone that thinks they MAY need one

we should all register.

I think a blanket pardon for any social media posts, protest, speech, etc.

If you think they won't come for us... don't register.

Paranoid, maybe, but I am a student of history. Everyone that works for MSNBC and CNN and Free speech TV and dozens of podcasters... they ALL need presidential pardons.

Lots of people that work in various agencies and departments... and even State workers and elected officials.

All of our Senators and Congresspersons and former government officials

[points]

5. This gives the magas cover

They want blanket pardons and they have and intend to do more actual crimes.
I totally get the impulse to protect, and maybe this is the way. The first time I heard the idea I thought it was a good one. But now I'm concerned all maga actual traitors and criminals will just get their own preemptive pardons also

6. Traitor has called 2020 Dem election workers "enemies of the state"

That should be prosecuted because they “stole the election”.

Cover them or let them hang? (Full disclosure, I’m one of them)

[Justice matters.]

7. Not just them, pat-in-el's list for his sick fascist plan:

Not even sure their potential Pardon will even matter to the convicted felon's fascists.

[Arazi]

9. Yup... I truly hate that this precedent will be set

But I don’t see any other possible way to protect folks who were just doing their jobs like Fauci.

Traitor is a malignant narcissist whose entire life revolves around grievance and revenge. His cruelty feeds his black soul.

Nobody will escape his vengeance if it can be done. Minions like Kash Patel would an eager and vicious thug dispensing the pain forever…

[Bluetus]

30. Yes, Yes, Yes. Pardon the Republicans Trump is targeting too.

This is not a red vs blue thing. This is democracy versus the new Nazi movement.

[lapfog_1]

8. this is not a blanket pardon

It is a pardon covering speech and other writings and utterances, whether given freely on a website or podcast or in public or private. Not actions that are subject to criminal charges.

I am not afraid of being found guilty if I was criminally charged or even investigated for what I post here. However that isn't the point... the point is that I would have to pay a criminal defense lawyer to mount the defense ( either criminal or civil ). I don't happen to have $50K laying around to spend on this. These people hate us... and they will have the resources of the federal government to use to sue us into bankruptcy. And if you think they won't do it with Kash Patel at the FBI...

18. They will do it anyway

They were always going to.

[rampartd]

31. even violent domestic terrorists will be pardoned

they don't need "cover."

[dalton99a]

4. No skin off your back, Joe. Just fucking do it

[newdeal2]

15. Did you see how much shit he took this week?

Not saying he shouldn’t or won’t do it, but it’s still something he has to live with.

10. They must protect Dr Fauci

11. Don't debate ffs

Do it!

[MissouriDem47]

12. Every Employee of the Federal Government

should get a sweeping pardon not matter who they are or where they worked

[Earthrise]

13. Do it! Do many - now!

[tulipsandroses]

14. This is disgraceful that this has to even be discussed. Dr. Fauci dedicated his life to public service

I have so much disgust for anyone that voted for the convicted felon. Fuck you and your price of eggs and any other selfish hateful reason you decided to trade democracy for.

[creeksneakers2]

16. YES YES YES

I've been pushing this idea on Facebook and Kos and here and planned push it everywhere I could . Biden could thwart Trump's entire Fascist retribution plot. DO IT!!!!!!

[ShazzieB]

17. I'm glad this is being discussed.

I'm skeptical about them coming after every rando who's ever posted something critical of TSF on a message board (like yours truly), just because of the sheer volume. Somebody would have to go through millions of posts to find all of us "culprits," and identifying every person who posts under an anonymous screen name at places like DU would be another gargantuan chore. I guess it would be doable, in theory, but why bother?

So I'm not seriously worried for myself, but there are people like the ones mentioned in that X post who will be in serious danger, and I am all for protecting them.

19. Stop debating and take action

This is no time to be timid.

[creeksneakers2]

20. Please write the White House

and urge them to Thwart Trump's Fascist retribution plot. Blanket pardons for all threatened except those with credible accusations against them.

21. If he doesn't do it

Trump will come after those people twice as hard just to make him wish he had.

[Shipwack]

23. But isn't accepting a pardon an admission...

…that you did something wrong?

[WarGamer]

25. It infers guilt... not good.

[kerouac2]

29. Ya think?

Finally, let's use some ammo before we have none.

I swear, it's like trumpers lack the ability to recognize that they are voting against their own self interests... And dem leaders lack the ability to recognize when they actually yield the power to protect everyones interests.

I mean, really. How did we not put trump behind bars. Hell, how did we not get guys like Jordan and Goetz TF outta here.

Smh.

[tornado34jh]

32. Well, they better get going on that if that is their plan, as there isn't much time left

We're already in December, so there are only approximately 6 1/2 weeks left before inauguration.

[UTUSN]

35. Good for starters

[tirebiter]

36. Stop cowering. Defeat the Trumpers face to face. Be as brave as the South Koreans.

The smell of fear makes the sharks go crazy.
