The Fetterman rumors are catching like wildfire in DC this evening.

I’m not familiar… what’s the rumor?

YES , Fauci is guilty of high crimes against humanity and must be held accountable, me personally , I lost 25- 30 percent of my lung capacity to scaring from covid, much lighter than others who didnt survive, I would like to spend 5 min. in a room with Fauci to discuss this, even at my diminished capacity. ,

I too have lung scaring from COVID. Everyone involved that Gain of Function should be held accountable. Unfortunately, now Fauci will not, at least in the USA. One can only hope for The Hague.

1500 pardons and 6 commutations for the January 6 defendants.

Would be nice if we could prosecute some of the mostly peaceful protestors from 2020.

I watched the video of Trump signing the pardons. The cool thing was that he was adamant about getting those orders delivered to the prison officials immediately.

I saw a report that General Milley’s portrait was removed from the Pentagon. Not good.

I'm not sure about the circus being over, they can now be called to testify and can't plead the 5th. If they lie, that would be perjury and then the pardons don't apply. I think this is just the beginning of the circus.

Good point. I don't believe they can plead the 5th and HAVE to testify since they cannot face any prosecution since they were pardoned? However, everyone they would testify against has already been pardoned and it would be a moot point and turn into a circus and a major distraction from Trump's agenda. I would look at maybe some civil lawsuits against some of the people pardoned for defamation, lying, election interference, etc., as to how it affected Trump politically and personally. Or maybe not and just move forward.

Security clearances dropping like flies also.

Looked like Trump answered more questions while signing executive orders than Biden did in the last year!

Party switch. I don't see any way on earth it is real, but the fact it was kept alive says a lot.

Biden didn't Pardon himself. But that is not the game they play, the goal would be to embrace the democrats/Biden/Obama and try to set a perjury trap. I hope it doesn't happen, and we are focused on fixing so many of the problems going on right now, but you never know.

He’s honestly be more valuable continuing to caucus with the D’s, but standing defiant every time they go down a ridiculous rabbit hole.

The wild card that they can’t control similar to how Joe Manchin functioned would be wonderful.

The Marine Corps Band looking and sounding outstanding tonight!

Ttrying to meddle with 14th amendment sets a dangerous precedence. Somebody else might try to question the word militia in the second amendment in the future. Amendments should only be changed or deleted lawfully in the congress regardless of their content.
This is a slippery slope.

Trump didn’t just nuke the security clearances of every corrupt intel agent who signed the fraudulent Hunter Biden laptop letter.

He also specifically eliminated John Bolton’s security clearance. pic.twitter.com/fBo7hfezgq

The swamp strikes back......

Lawsuits filed against DOGE, immediately after Trump signs executive order.

The swamp doesn't want the gravy train disrupted.

On what grounds, I wonder.

If DOGE isn't being paid out of the US Treasury, free people can make all the recommendations they want. And they can't be stopped from providing advice to POTUS. It's no different than us emailing our congresscritters on any given bill.

Democrats just fling frivolous lawsuits at the wall, and hope something sticks.

There will no doubt be hundreds of lawsuits over the next 4 years
