No further info in the article as it’s breaking news. NBC broke into the inauguration to announce it.

Biden pardoned his entire family and their spouses as Trump directly threatened all of them.

    An outgoing president needing to pardon his family pre-emptively because the incoming president is threatening them is well along the path to fascism.

    Good job electing Trump you fucking morons. I hope that the consequences of your own actions hurt you more than they hurt the rest of the world.

      FWIW, as an American, I really hope you’re right. Because there is serious potential for us to fuck up the entire rest of the world for a very, very long time.

      Sadly we would have embraced fascism whether voters elected Trump or Harris/Biden, as we’ve seen with the sentiment towards Palestinians.

      With the former, it’s fascism. With the latter, it’s fascism-lite.

      Ultimately, we’re going to reach a chilling point that will probably demand a WWIII. When that comes has probably now been accelerated due to Trump winning.

      Sanders was our key to fighting fascism. Sadly Obama, Clinton, and Biden all kneecapped him in favor of billionaires and the status quo while claiming no responsibility for the seeds they sewed.

          I don’t understand why folks downvote comments pointing this out to be honest. Like bro, the man literally fucking said it out loud what more do you want. He’s quoted as saying a) Elon musk in some way stuffed the electronic ballots in PA and b) he (ie trump) wouldn’t be president if the election had not been rigged what more do you want bro serious question I’m fucking interested

            Because the statement is so stupid there is no way its true. He says Elon knows more about these voting computers than anyone one else and was able to rig it. Obviously that statement is not true Elon knows nothing about voting machines.

            We can pretend to believe Trump just to hold his feet to the fire but he’s so slippery he will slip out and we will be left sitting here looking like idiots for believing the dumb claim.

            Honestly, masterful plan by the traitor’s handlers. They made sure that we couldn’t complain about a rigged 2024 election because of the bullshit they spread about the non-rigged 2020 one.

            I guess the Nazis win.
