Boy, I should probably feel something for Trump. His own people are gaslighting him. He’s the perfect patsy.

Good. I hope he takes his case to the international court of justice. Deem Trump a war lord. Unfortunately that will mean he has to remain in the US. On second thought….

Nope. They are just taking you because you’re brown. That’s all. He’s lying

Weird. 47 was totally OK with Jan. 6 rioters beating Capitol police with flag poles. 🤔

Peter Stager beat a police officer with the flagpole he was carrying at the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021. U.S. District Court for D.C.

On January 20, 2025, during the first day of his second term, United States president Donald Trump granted blanket clemency to all people, nearly 1,600, convicted of or awaiting trial or sentencing for offenses related to the January 6 United States Capitol attack that occurred near the end of his first presidential term.

Among the pardoned was Peter Stager, who admitted to beating a police officer with a flagpole.

@sarahlongwell25.bsky.social and I start with this clip of me from 2024 on Jimmy Kimmel Live and we talk about how Trump told us for years what he was going to do to the country now.

"Part of what frustrates me is how much people just didn't listen to the things that he said he was going to do."

"He was telling us he would do these things....he's a sick man."
