President Trump is using his pardon power, and boy, are the Democrats, regime media, and Fredocons mad. They were furious when he used it deliberately to protect the persecuted victims of the J6 pogroms, and now they're mad about his recent pardons as well as the anticipated pardons of the patriots they hoped to target once Trump leaves office. I confess I don't know the facts about the recent pardons of folks like the ex-president of Honduras or a couple of finance guys, but I am also convinced that the people mad about them don't know the facts, either. Trump thinks they were unjustly convicted, but according to the critics, we're supposed to assume the justice system worked. We're supposed to assume that the Biden administration was administering justice as opposed to vengeance on political or ideological opponents. Why the hell would we ever do that? I'm going to assume Donald Trump had good reasons for these pardons, and I know that makes the haters mad, which only makes it better.
You might not know it from the regime media, but Trump's an amateur in the pardon game. President Eggplant famously gave out over 8,000 pardons, including to a bunch of scumbag criminals, a bunch of scumbags in his administration, and his convicted scumbag, druggie son. Those didn't upset the Left. In fact, the Left was pretty excited about them. Some of them were protective pardons, designed to ensure that criminals in Grandpa Badfinger's administration didn't face justice. It was corrupt and scummy, but completely within his power. And please don't start with the auto-pen stuff. None of that matters. The pardons are valid, auto-pen or not. He doesn't even have to write them down. He could just wave his withered paw and make it so. And that's a good thing. We want a pardon power without limits, and that can never be questioned because that protects us.
The unspoken premise of the critique of the pardon power is that somehow the justice system is fair and honest. It's not. We have seen that over and over again, from the persecution of conservatives to leftist judges making absolutely bogus rulings to stop the elected president from enacting the policies he promised the voters who voted for him, to leftist criminals being treated with kid gloves. We are under no moral obligation to default to respecting the skin-suit institutions of the so-called "justice system." The pardon power is a rebuke to the fraud that is the idea that simply because you're convicted, it's fair and just. As our communist buddies might say, we are woke to the okey-doke – for us conservatives, we cannot rely on getting a fair trial or a fair shake, and the pardon power allows our chosen leaders to undo these injustices. This is why the haters hate it. It stops them from oppressing us.
Now, the Democrats are all over the place, promising to prosecute military officials, Trump officials, and even you, given the chance, if they ever return to power. This isn't an idle threat – this is part of the color revolution that they wish to conduct. They want to make it impossible for us to ever oppose them again by making examples of us and imprisoning our leaders. We saw that during the Biden administration, but they were not very good at it. The next time, they may have learned from their mistakes. This is why the pardon power is so vital, and why the Left is suddenly all against it. Rep. Ro Khanna recently posted on X that we need a constitutional amendment to change the pardon power. Others, including some spineless conservatives, have joined in.
No.
The pardon power is the most based of powers, an unreviewable and unquestionable plenary power of the president to undo the wrongs committed by a weaponized government leviathan without so much as a stroke of a pen – it just needs the president to make it so through the power of wanting. This is glorious. This is vital. Thanks to the power of pardons, we can elect someone to undo the untold damage that the fascist deep state would inflict upon us. The Left hates the idea of the pardon power because it stops them, and it stops them cold. No, they are not going to be able to prevent us from enforcing immigration laws by threatening to, and actually persecuting, ICE agents. They are not going to be able to stop the military from destroying drug runners coming into America with their poison by prosecuting soldiers and civilian officials. They're not going to be able to stop Donald Trump and any future conservative presidents' ability to exercise the powers of the office by promising to prosecute them and anyone connected with their administrations once the GOP leaves office. The pardon power takes their most powerful arrow out of their quiver. They want to stop the president from stopping them.
But the Democrats are going to be able to do it too, right? Oh yeah. As we've discussed, they already have. And we can live with that. Remember that there is a difference between how the parties use the power of government. We use it to prosecute them because they're actual criminals. They set out to prosecute us not because we're criminals, but because they want power. This is an important difference. Yes, some of their criminals will get away with it because of the pardon power. So what? What's important is that our non-criminals will be able to exercise power when we win elections. That's much more important than seeing that malignant dwarf Anthony Fauci in jail.
Remember, the weaponization of government is designed to disenfranchise us. It is designed to kill what they call "democracy," our ability to participate in our own governance. That's why the pardon power is so important and must remain absolutely unquestionable and unchallengeable. It's one of the few things that keeps us from becoming a leftist dictatorship.
And we're actually doing a favor to the Democrats by keeping the pardon power unchanged. Without it, the Democrats would weaponize government and would create a situation where half of America – the armed half – is unable to participate in our own government. They would rule us with total, unaccountable power, making power the currency of government instead of votes. And then we're looking at this country breaking apart with or without a civil war – pre-order my new conservative action novel, "Panama Red" (the newest in the People's Republic series) if you want to see how that turns out.
Spoiler: It turns out poorly for the pinkos, but at least there's a lot of action and laughs.
So, when Trump finally leaves office, look for a ton of pardons. Look for mass pardons of anybody in ICE, in the military, in the administration, or anywhere else where people have successfully resisted the Left. It's totally going to happen. That's why Pete Hegseth can mock their sputtering, rageaholic anger that he dared kill the narco-terrorists who have murdered hundreds of thousands of Americans with their poison. He and everybody else involved are absolutely going to get pardoned, and that's a good thing. No one knows better than Donald Trump how these petty tyrants can leverage the unjust justice system. He's not going to put up with it. He's not going to default to the idea that somehow, because the establishment declares that someone has been convicted, that means it was just and fair. It doesn't.
So, when somebody complains about the pardons, laugh at them. Laugh at their frustration that their injustices can be undone. Laugh at their anger that their ability to seize power through the weaponization of government is going to be blocked. And laugh at the hilarious notion that they can somehow convince red America to ratify a constitutional amendment to limit the pardon power and therefore make the Left totally unstoppable.
