Pardons not released yet.
Headline grabbing list exposed just before Biden’s oath of office. Trump is a master of landing on the front page.
I think it will still land tonight, but yes, late enough that everyone will be digesting it in the morning and not focusing on the inauguration.
I heard he wanted a flyover and a 21 gun salute. Good to know that won’t happen.
Pence will not be there, he is attending Biden’s inauguration instead.
According to the WaPo
Aides have been trying to dredge up a crowd by sending invitations far and wide and encouraging people to bring friends, telling them they can have five tickets. Included on the invite list are former Trump staffers who have since disavowed the president, including former White House chief of staff John F. Kelly and former White House communications director Anthony Scaramucci.
Kelly joked in an interview Tuesday that he and Scaramucci had thought about attending together but decided against it. “We won’t be attending,” he said, with a laugh.
This isn’t the way I expected him to leave. But, I hadn’t expected that he would send a mob to the Capitol chanting “Hang Mike Pence”, either.
A bunch of pardons were released either late last night or early this morning with the caveat that there might be more coming. On the list were Steve Bannon and Lil Wayne and a bunch where activists had been lobbying for clemency (which I gather is rather common).
Here’s the CBS story I read earlier this morning. Guess it was last night that they came out.
As far as I know he has still not pardoned anyone in his family or Giuliani or anyone associated with the January 6 insurrection. And has not attempted to pardon himself for anything.
So… not as bad as I was expecting, but I assume there’s some pride involved as he doesn’t think that he or his kids or son-in-law or lawyer did anything wrong that would require a pardon in the first place.
Glad he’s not pardoning the insurrectionists. Hope he himself is found guilty of sedition. Biden may well pardon him for that in the interest of unity if he is, but it would be meaningful if he was found guilty anyway.
Trump’s parting words: “We’ll be back in some form.” After having eaten the brains of the Republican party, the zombie comparison is fitting.

Hannity is the most viewed prime time talk show host, so doubt it.
Better not or I’m done with the dems. I don’t think he will.
Hanity is like a disease. Ever actually watch that show?? He has been telling people to burn down the capital for years.
I think Hanity lost his spot as #1 show on cable since the election. He can no longer say ‘Im the biggest POS in the world, but I make you guys money!’ to the fox execs.
I think Tucker was about to pass Hanity before the election fallout. Their 2020 ratings are effectively tied.
Yes, I want a lot of Faux News for entertainment, and I am familiar with the vile prime time trio that Fox offers.
Hannity and Laura are complete Trump yes-men. Tucker goes against the tide sometimes.
Hannity may have gained popularity since Trump’s inaugural, but he was popular before that I think.
kudos to mike pence for not being a crybaby sore loser like Trump is and actually is at the inauguration right now. makes him look like a much bigger person. i mean, what he’s doing is normal, but apparently not according to Trump.

enter J. Lo!
nah, the only thing that could ruin this is if MAGAt’s attacked or something like they did on January 6. I don’t think Trump doing some pardons could ruin any of this.
I disagree with Mike Pence on policy in probably most areas but he has definitely been a pretty class act through this challenging POTUS
Remember J Lo and Shakira at the Super Bowl? Best thing from Trump’s presidency IMO.
WE OFFICIALLY HAVE A NEW PRESIDENT!!!
Someone check on Trump’s blood pressure
AO, we fucking did it!!
