Elon knows millions of Americans hate him and are coming for him so he wants every single super-villain free to team up together.
No. He wants a racial war and Chauvin walking free is a surefire way to start one.
This whole thing is giving Manson Family
Couldn’t he only be pardoned for the federal level conviction and not the state? Looking at his Wikipedia article, he has a 21 year fed sentence and a 22.5 state.
But yeah, this is a way to force violent protests and eventually martial law.
IIRC, Chauvin made the plea deal on federal charges so that he would do his time in the relative safety of a federal prison.
Which would mean that if he gets pardoned on federal charges, then he would have to serve out his remaining state time in a state pen… the very thing he wanted to avoid. He would probably be dead in under a month unless he spent the next decade or more in solitary confinement for 23 hours a day (like he did in his pre-trial detention).
Which would be a crying shame, of course…
Maybe it won’t be protests this time and just 30,000 people turning his body into something that doesn’t resemble a human.
I find it funny how people on the right want the cop who shot that lady during the Jan 6 riot to be punished, yet think Chauvin was in the right…like how can you be so stupid…then again they probably don’t care the cop shot her they care cuz he’s black.
One cop shot a minority. One cop shot a Republican. To them one one of the victims is considered human. Take a guess as to which.
I kind of wish Chauvin shot Floyd instead of the TORTURE he put that man through. Slowly choking the life out of him as he begged for his life.
If Trump pardons him he still has 20+years of state sentence to finish, this is a distraction….
They are about to do the biggest grift ever with the tax cuts for the rich.
All of this is a distraction
Yup, same with the tariffs. Drop the stock market by two percent and as the richest person in the world you’ve just invested billions
They’re trying to Reichstag fire up their own Reichstag fire. Martial law in America as a toe dip for their invasion of Canada.
elon can fuck right off with this bullshit
Why not give Zimmerman a Presidential Medal of Freedom while you’re at it?
Ever see the south park episode on that?
Actually, no haha
They treat him like a specialist in “what he does” who’s trying to escape his past. Painful looking at state of affairs.
Presidential pardons are one of the dumbest powers. Change my mind.
(Plenty of more stable countries get on fine without it, and don’t have to deal with this nonsense to boot)
People lose their shit over jury nullification, yet somehow pardons are A-OK
Pardons should not be a thing, in my lifetime its pretty much only been used for scummy shit.
Shout outs to pardoning Ross Ulbricht, while blaming Canada for fent
Didn’t Biden pardon everyone who was arrested for marijuana possession?
Chelsea Manning tho. Only non-scummy instance I can think of right now
Nazi child of apartheid encourages elevated racial tensions, more at 11.
I mean the plan was always to annihilate people of color like my wife and I. This country has treated our people like shit for centuries and the rest of the world wants us to stay and fight to fix our country. I say fuck that. That’s like saying the German Jews should have stayed to fix Germany and should have started committing acts of violence to fix their country. That was never going to work last century what the fuck makes anyone think it would this century. No the fact is racist whites enabled and did this, we aren’t at fault and we are not responsible to fix it for them. We are going to be part of the brain drain of this country. Leave the whites to sort out their own fucking mess for once.
They’ll beat the drums of nationalism, and try to guilt you. If you flee now, the hundreds of years of oppression will have been in vain. You dare turn your back on the failed revolutions of MLK? Malcolm X? Coward, they’ll say. But I say fuck that noise. You owe them nothing. Get out, before it gets worse. You owe it to you and yours to try and find happiness, if you can.
Edit: This is my 666th comment. I meant to drop it in a christian thread, but I thought I had at least one more. Oh well.
Congrats on your 666 comment! Sorry you ending up using it on my comment but I appreciate it all the same!
Congrats on the significant milestone!
Sorry you are being forced out
Really, really nasty move.
Do you want riots? Because that’s how you get riots.

It’s so weird how people in power play the most dangerous games in countries where the population is not disarmed
for all the guns americans have, theyre clearly too cowardly to use them for anything outside of school shootings
Exactly. Just shows you what a bunch of pussies they really are. I’d kick so much ass in an elementary or middle school. i wouldn’t even need a gun.
Does your mom know you’re talking to strangers online?
I dunno. Ask her when you’re done with her.
You don’t get to watch our local news reports. Plenty of people get smoked every single day by gunfire. Fuck someone’s wife , cut them off in traffic , call them a snitch ,bump into them in a bar, throw snow from your driveway onto theirs 💥💥💥. It could be anything that gets a bunch of new holes added to your meat suit
Sure but they all whine they need them for incase government be bad. Now we have a situation and they are all quiet. The only reason Americans need guns is to make the small minded can’t see their own penis men fell powerful. I have never once in my life thought I sure would feel safer with a gun. Ok maybe but not in the city.
Is that supposed to prove Americans are not a bunch of cowards? Because it does the opposite.
lol…i live near Cleveland dude. trust me, i know.
My bad thought you were French or something /s
There was the one guy who tried to snipe the orange man at a rally, so there was that.
Are you just ignoring all the instances where this statement isn’t true or do those not count because two guys you don’t like are still alive?
?
I’m assuming you’re saying this because no one has killed Trump or Musk yet. That’s sort of nonsensical considering the former has had at least two attempts on his life in the last year. Important people get shot at on a fairly regular basis in America.
The first one wasn’t a real attempt. It was for the photo OP

Greed make you do dumb shit.
Does it matter though? The people with the most firearms are the most indoctrinated. And besides that, Americans have always talked about needing the right to bear arms to dispose of a tyrannical government, but it seems like people aren’t even putting in the effort to vote or protest, let alone taking out the fascists. So what exactly is the point of all the guns? Besides the purpose of supplying all the criminals in both Mexico and Canada with illegal weapons
A bunch of civilian rifles stand no chance against drones 30k feet in the air dropping guided missiles or the ai controlled murder dog robots they’ve been showcasing the past couple years.
Plus, what is the disgruntled American town going to do when an abrams rolls down Main Street? They’re just as prepared as afghani villagers when that situation comes to pass.
and where we lack affordable access to mental health care!
Be careful with your reasoning, my friend. Just because they want it doesn’t mean they would survive it.

actually, yes. I think they do.
Not saying you’re wrong just want to understand youre thinking why would they want riots? Isnt that the only real threat to them?
Triggering division as an excuse for suppression is Dictator 101.
Your political opponents are lawless? That means you can legally crack down on them.
It has the side benefit of stirring the shit/divisions which is what keeps Trump in place.
Makes sense thanks for explaining
Mhm. It’s understandably counterintuitive, and indeed a problem for “regular” politicians.
You’d think it would make Trump lose support, and to some extent it does, but I guess you also have to understand how warped the US information environment is. Anyone who cares about George Floyd and actually sees this in their news feed would not support Trump anyway, whereas that’s not the case for nearly any past president. Supporters who see the riots would write them off as not Trumps fault.
Enact martial law, take over all legislation, be a dictator. Job done.
That’s why he’s firing everyone at the top of the military who isn’t a white male.
trump has been looking to apply the insurrection act since his first term. with the various sycophants in congress and the executive, there has never been a more opportune time (other than tomorrow, of course).
as to why… well, trump has gotten even more messianic since his first term. suppression of dissent would be a powerplay that may yield significant dividends, showing loyalists the need to stay in the camp and detractors what happens when you resist.
just my 0.02
Thanks to the weakness of our system and certain pathetic losers holding their values and personal ethics over the national security interests of the United States nothing was ever done about trump’s sedition. I will never forgive our previous president for not doing exactly what needed to be done to deal with the DOMESTIC THREAT to the constitution that he was sworn to protect by not eliminating the republican party/scotus/and a certain billionaire. Had our previous president made the ‘tough call’ that presidents are required to make to protect the nation and the constitution then we simply wouldn’t be in this position. I will never believe that our previous president wasn’t briefed on the threat posed by all of this and wasn’t fully aware of everything. There will never be any excusing him allowing things to happen this way. The man was in his 80s even had he been in any legal trouble over this his life is functionally over at this point fuck him for doing nothing when he was the only one who could achieve this on his own.
Authoritarians equate fear with respect. Aggressively putting down a riot makes people scared = people respect them. It is the same reason Putin jails critics inhumanely or Kim kills families of defectors in NK. If people lose their fear of them these despots are powerless.
Huh. Makes sense then, the pardon. Jesus Christ.
I wouldn’t be surprised if that is not the point.
Dude will still spend 22.5 years in prison even with a pardon.
Non American here, how does that work?
The president can pardon him on federal charges. He still faces the 22.5 years on state charges. Basically, he was convicted of murder in Minnesota, and then civil rights violations in federal court.
Assuming that they don’t pressure the governor of Minnesota to pardon him as well.
Not sure Walz would do that. Next governor… No idea.
They just want to cause riots. Trump and Elon are agitators.
This. I’m convinced at this point they’re attempting to instigate riots so they can declare material law and seize full control over the US government.
I know it a typo, but declaring it, would be the last step of making material law the ultimate authority. Taking Capitalist Fromm late stage to endgame.
I agree. This is just intended to cause civil unrest to distract from everything else they’re doing to tear America apart.
But also, Musk is a Nazi.
That implies either of them have any intelligence.
No, but they’ve got people working for them that you never hear about that do
They are the clowns of the circus. Half the US is trying to figure out who the ring master of the circus is … instead of looking for the guy who owns it.
This is the sleight of hand they want you paying attention to. Instead, keep an eye on the other hand;
Because that is the one doing the damage.
The real trick is the fact that both of these do damage, and you can’t afford to ignore either.
Signaling to the police that the executive branch has your back and will support you when you kill poor black men is going to get people straight up murdered.
He also has people’s back when they murder/injure police. So, if you’re a cop, do not take it as a show of support.
Only has your back if you are harming people they don’t like
It kinda feels like both hands are doing a lot of damage…
true, but also, there’s a point that laws don’t really exist anymore. it’s just gang shit. the cops are the gang that want to kill you rather than make a profit off you. there is no legitimacy, there is no reason to respect or obey them, and in fact they will kill you if you do.
Luigi 24:12
Elon trying to use this to distract from all the federal firings he’s done
The fact that Elon Musk is for pardoning someone who murdered an innocent person speaks volumes. Also, I can’t see how this wouldn’t lead to riots.
They want riots so they have a reason to put troops on the streets and “come down hard” to please their base.
Why haven’t there already been riots? Of all the reasons to start widespread riots, hasn’t the last 2 months given enough of them?
Americans are capable of riots, but it seems to require so marination before some trigger event happens on their soil that causes emotions to suddenly spark.
Almost like he’s trying to flick the bic
The tech oligarchy as a tight grip on the population. They control the narrative.
Now they’re forcing the martial law.
I can nazi why not.
I’m sorry, folks. I’m trying a variation on the old adage. I’m terribly sorry.
Not for that cop, though, he deserves to rot.
