    This is the whole article:

    “Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., on Sunday described President-elect Donald Trump’s threat to jail members of the House Jan. 6 Committee as “an outrageous statement” and said President Joe Biden should consider pre-emptive pardons for committee members.

    “This is what authoritarianism is all about. It’s what dictatorship is all about,” Sanders said.”

    It would give him a reason to not do it without his cult thinking he’s a lying dipshit.

      While those are big f*** ups. And his administration shouldn’t have been part of that. The fact that they are less than even a percentage of a percentage of the people he’s pardoning. Yet that’s the only thing you’re focusing on. Tells me plenty about you too.

        Liberals dismissing these types of pardons, including his son, tells everyone they don’t care because it’s team blue fascists doing it. They never care about the crime, only who’s committing it.
