“The government you elect is the government you deserve.”

― Thomas Jefferson

It is a sad sign of what's to come that Joe Biden, on his last day in office, felt he had to issue pardons to people who did nothing wrong. He pardoned people who merely investigated an attack on the US Capitol and saved lives during a pandemic. The MAGA on Twitter/X are screaming how corrupt and evil Joe Biden is for this action. (1/3)

Trump, who was handed a blank check when SCOTUS by saying he is immune from prosecution for any official act, has hinted he'll pardon all the people who violently assaulted the US Capitol and Capitol Officers. Will they decide to now obey the law or feel they, too, are immune from any crimes? 2/3

Meanwhile, Trump is expected to issue a record number of executive orders on his first day in office. Under Obama, Conservatives counted every EO and screamed it was a sign he was an undemocratic leader. Now, MAGA welcomes it.

Nothing about this is politics as usual. It's difficult to imagine what the next four years will be like. Protect yourself and those you love.

@sternentau Who knows what happens in four years, but I do think we'll have another election. With Republicans falling into line, there will be plenty of candidates for a hand-picked successor. The next election may not be free or fair, but I think we'll have one and that 82-year-old Trump will retire to enjoy his billions.
