House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) told reporters that it was simply not his job to second guess the president. “The president’s made his decision, and I don’t second guess those,”

It's literally your fucking job as part of the legislative branch. The next 4 years are going to be so fun/s

Also what idiots, even with a pardon you're still a convicted felon and a convicted felon can't possess guns, which btw is what this guy got arrested for. Convicted felon in possession of a firearm.

Ball was accused of “throwing an explosive device that detonated upon at least 25 officers” into the Capitol’s Lower West Terrace tunnel, injuring law-enforcement personnel. On Tuesday, Ball’s case was dismissed following President Trump’s blanket pardon to more than 1,500 defendants charged with offenses related to the attempted insurrection. ... Axios reported the following morning that — according to a close adviser — Trump didn’t care much to scrutinize whom exactly he was pardoning. “Trump just said: ‘F–k it: Release ’em all,'” an adviser told the outlet.

Be perfectly clear on this: These offenders have been pardoned by the person for whom they committed the acts of violence which resulted in their being arrested, charged, and/or convicted. These pardons are for one reason: to encourage and enable more violence on behalf of the same person.

The brownshirts out out and about

For those curious, he was caught due to prior felony convictions, not due to Jan. 6
