No pardons for insurrection = no fight. Why did he not pardon those people?
OK he said they "looked low class" but he must be used to that from rallies.

Pardon me, but that's one less thing for you to hate (Trump did not pardon Capitol rioters).

Capitol Rioters Were Among Those Who Held Out Hope For A Trump Pardon And Didn’t Get It

Ryan — who prosecutors say posted a now-deleted video of herself marching to the Capitol with the words, “We are going to f—ing go in here. Life or death” — told CBS 11 News: “I think we all deserve a pardon. I’m facing a prison sentence. I think I do not deserve that.”
Perhaps the most high-profile rioter, the so-called “QAnon Shaman” who broke into the Senate chamber and posed at the dais with a spear, wearing a horned fur hat and animal skins, is also pleading for a pardon.
Jacob Chansley’s lawyer said he reached out to White House chief of staff Mark Meadows about a possible pardon on behalf of the Arizona man, acknowledging it might be a reach but that there was nothing to lose in seeking one.
If Chansley is not granted a pardon, attorney Albert Watkins said, it could offer the added benefit of further awakening his client to the fact that his devotion to Trump has not been reciprocated, comparing it to being a jilted lover or even a member of a cult.
“The only thing that was missing at the Capitol was the president, our president, stirring up the Kool-Aid with a big spoon,” Watkins said.
Dominic Pezzola, a New York, man and far-right Proud Boys supporter who was seen in a video using a clear police shield to shatter a Capitol window, also explored seeking a pardon but his attorney said there was not enough time to make it happen.
“To believe the president is going to carte blanche issue these pardons is kind of a fantasy,” defense attorney Mike Scibetta told the Associated Press. “I think it would cast a shadow on his own impeachment defense.”

Trump waited until the early morning hours of Inauguration Day to issue a flurry of pardons that didn’t include any of the mob.
Harvard Law professor emeritus Alan Dershowitz said the more than 150 rioters arrested so far and the thousands more suspected should not have been on the list.
Dershowitz, who represented Trump in his first impeachment last year, told the AP he wasn’t approached by any of the rioters about seeking a pardon but even if he had, “it would be wrong to pardon rioters who committed crimes.”
South Carolina Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham, who speaks often with Trump, was among the confidantes who urged the president not to go there.
“I don’t care if you went there and spread flowers on the floor, you breached the security of the Capitol, you interrupted a joint session of Congress, you tried to intimidate us all,” Graham said on Fox News. “You should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law and to seek a pardon of these people would be wrong.”
He had warned that such a move “would destroy President Trump.”
Pardons normally go through an extensive vetting process within the Department of Justice. The Office of the Pardon Attorney, which handles these reviews, did not respond to a request for comment, but former federal prosecutors said Trump giving clemency to those at the Capitol would be highly unusual.
Such pardons would be “a slap in the face to the law enforcement officers who protected the Capitol and our leaders who were inside,” said Joe Brown, who until last year was a U.S. attorney in Texas.
Noah Bookbinder, the executive director of Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington, a watchdog group, said Trump’s use of his clemency powers has set up a “spoils system” for his allies and pardoning the insurrectionists would have been a more extreme version.
“That this president might be willing, even to pardon those who rose up against the United States,” he said, “would be the ultimate statement of his perversion of the purpose behind pardons.”

Punny. Pardon me.
Yeah, it's a splash of cold water. From the wheel of bus going over them.
Well when he wins in 2024 he can pardon them. Right? They have hope!
If you can't do the time, don't do the crime.
In the unlikely event Trump is running from anything but the law and/or creditors in 2024, he wouldn't be able to hijack a political party like he did in 2016.

How much you wanna bet severe charges were held up until Trump left to avoid any mass pardons for these fucktards...
Trump last executive order, to provide all his family secret service protection for 6 months
I think they can afford to pay for their own. The bathroom bills alone.. Treating the secret service like field slaves..

Anti-Biden Antifa attack Portland police officers forcing cops to retreat
Antifa protesters gathered in Portland on Wednesday to voice dissatisfaction with newly sworn-in President Joe Biden and have clashed with authorities, at one point taking a police officer's bicycle, authorities said.
The Portland Police Bureau said several events were planned in the city, hours after Biden was sworn in as president. A group gathered near the headquarters for the Democratic Party of Oregon Portland.
Some were seen damaging the building and windows and engaging in vandalism, police said.

Sure. People dressed in mostly black. The little scamps.
This however seems a more middle of the road account of the day. Better find out what they want 'revenge' for later.

If they’re arrested for protesting against Biden will Kamala still post their bail?
No, just Minnesota Freedom Fund.
