Politics Trump Pardons Domestic Terrorists

[tlongII]

They pled guilty to it. A family member testified to it. And they just accepted a pardon for it which is also an admission of guilt.

I just read about the case. It appears you are correct.

And they got hundreds of regular citizens to physically join them, and tens of thousands of people around the country supporting their cause. Not exactly fringe "terrorists"

See if ISIS can garner that much support the next time they launch a jihad over cattle grazing rights. Lol.

The fact is, you and many others on the left are exaggerating the severity of the situation because you see people in cowboy hats (cough* riverman and barfo cough*) and associate that stereotype with those who don't identify with you politically. It's the same as conservatives calling the fucking morons who run around Portland breaking shit "domestic terrorists" to justify the daydreams they have of murdering them.

You want them to disappear, and the only way you can justify it is to exaggerate the severity of their crimes, disregard any grievances they might have, and spread fear with buzzwords like "domestic terrorism".

You are Bush/Cheney circa 2003.

They were anything but regular. Regular citizens don't confront law enforcement with loaded guns.

Taking over a federal facility with the help of loaded firearms could be exaggerated, I suppose. Not sure how you'd be able to exaggerate that unless you said they raped the locals or set off a nuclear device. Yeah, I guess it is possible to exaggerate.

you really are in need of an adversary when in fact we are all fellow americans….which in the end makes you a divisive factor in discussing right and wrong...pardoning these guys is not making America join together for good....your guy Trump has done more to divide the country than any prez since Nixon..and that's a bad place to go....I actually have 3 cowboy hats...but put my cigarettes in the trash long ago and didn't litter a park with them....you talking about stereotypes is a double standard...I'm a proud American vet...don't need you defining my reasons..I'll speak for myself

I've had one cowboy hat, one pair of cowboy boots and never threw my butts on the ground. Did I tell you I used to drive a pickup and loved Marty Robbins?

That was a theory that was never proven.

It wasn't proven because of a plea bargain and that's the only reason.
