Simply add one day more in honor of Jimmy so that he receives his full thirty. He won’t mind, either.
We lower the flag for 30 days in honor of a President who is passed, and we raise it in honor of a President who has arrived.
The Capitol is at full staff, but the White House is at half-staff.

Actor Michael Rapaport went off on California Gov. Gavin Newsom in a video on Tuesday, telling the Democrat “there’s no more mistakes for you, you’re done!”
The “Only Murders in the Building” actor said that “Gavin with the good hair Newsom” was talking about “Trump-proofing” California when he should have been focused on “fire-proofing” the state.
“You’re talking about Trump this, Trump that. He’s not even president,” the 54-year-old said in a video he posted to Instagram as the Southern California fires, which have burned thousands of homes, entered their second week.

Rapaport is just an utter moron.
Even a stopped clock is right twice a day.
The bombastic fool is right this time, all day.
Thank the Lord we made it !!!
God Bless America !!!
Color me
supervised. surprised. Just watched the NYPD raise the flag to full mast at Times Square.Simply add one more day for Jimmy, after today’s day of celebration.
NY Mayor making nice with DJT.
My wife saw a meme yesterday:
For the first time in history, people were looking forward to Monday.
Great that it’s a national holiday too!!
Hopefully all those here who were ragging on her yesterday…saying terrible things…. will now hush up!
All the vilifying and negative energy thrown at her is terrible.

She is smart for staying out of it. She answered this with such grace and intelligence. Anyone who questions this decision has never been in the position and has no standing to question it.
She loves her father and will do her best to help him in anyway she can. If that means staying out of the front lines then that’s what she’ll do gracefully. Hating on her is really uncalled for. Thank you Ivanka!
so glad she is not involved
so glad.
IMHO,…
The “Javanca” criticism of PDJT i.e. that Kushner and Ivanca have undue influence, originally was often tied to the “Trumps a lifelong Democrat from New York” and these are just wedge arguments the enemy has used to carve off a portion of PDJT’s supporters.
.
Its what they do, and they do it because, at least to a degree, it “works”.
Some % of MAGA supporters are vulnerable to being manipulated, because a specific critucism of PDJT ‘resonates’ with them; it triggers a string, visceral EMOTIONAL responce, which mutes their critical thinking.
Often, they then AMPLIFY this effect, by repeating the emotionslly triggering false narrative.
Same thing with the Civid Vax, and any # of false narratives the enemies influencers sew here and on other MAGA Media comment sections, all intended to cause some portion of US to break away, or fight amongst ourselves: to “sew dissention in the ranks”.
Really, this has been their main weopon deployed to try to “Stop Trump and MAGA” thruout .
Stormy Daniels was targeting the “religious” faction, the “Javanca” narrative the Jew hater faction, etc.
Its actually pretty amazing that our movement has not only withstood this constant barrage of psy-ops, but has grown in spite of it.
DO NOT fall for their manipulations, and do not amplify them.
Stay strong!
We have such a beautiful group of women in the Trump family and now JD Vance’s wife also! I’m hoping the Second Lady and Melania can have a good relationship, unlike Karen Pence always looking down her nose at Melania.
It was never personal for me in not wanting her husband so closely involved.
BYE BYE…
Love the first pic best
smiley, I see that FJB left a foot behind…..please get all of him out.
He sure did wreck the place. 😎

Lol
Republicans are okay with this too. I hope President Trump has been disabused of the concept of loans that don’t need to be paid back for that poor country by now.
I know people were pushing him toward that.
BTW I have noticed a change in conversation among very pro-Zelensky types online.
Some are thinking that they might be better off with Trump in the White House, because they became aware that Biden was using Ukraine.
Not aware of the whole shebang, but the idea of keeping the war going just enough to weaken Russia, they understand that part.
They are a little concerned that Trump is too pro-Russia, though.
I feel so bad for that place.
Probably what happen with that reservoir, needed a new cover, went out for bids, white guy companies put in bids, bids denied because of whiteness or being male, waited for minority company to put a bid in, never did. 🤔
Sounds about right.
Something we don’t really consider enough, Gavin Newsom is likely really, really stupid. He knew or should have known as a governor, something about all of these issues, because he has talked publicly about them. He knows the issues exist.
Did he really know what these issues mean, except in a political sense?
By that I mean yes, bad things can happen when you neglect reservoirs, you are supposed to keep brush cleared, DEI hiring is controversial because people who get passed over think it’s unfair, he knew about all of these things, but I don’t think he understood the full ramifications of all of these things together.
I really think he may just be taken by surprise that this could lead to a major city in a First World nation burning t0 a crisp.
Couldn’t his odd demeanor be because he can’t wrap his head around what just happened?
Did he think government was all politics and showmanship?
Remember, much has been made of his ‘severe dyslexia’, and how hard it was for him to get through Stanford, like we are suppose to pity him and excuse his poor decisions because he’s protected class or something.
What if he’s just plain old stupid?
Gavin Newscum is NOT STUPID
please STOP making excuses for a SMART CRIMINAL
Lots of crooks are cunning but stupid.
MSM: President Joe Biden has pardoned Dr. Anthony Fauci, retired Gen. Mark Milley and members of the House committee that investigated the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol, using the extraordinary powers of his office in his final hours to guard against potential “revenge” by the incoming Trump administration.
LOL.
If/when he does it (I say 11:00/11:30), what’s ironic is you can only be pardoned for crimes you have committed.
So they’ll be admitting they’re criminals.
I thought the MSM was a general statement, but just saw a Fox News “headline” he did it.
Only criminals need pardons.
We all saw this coming on 20 Jan. Is this even constitutional? No one above the law, right? LMAO
Criminal.
I was willing to let him bow out, but after this, I have NOTHING GOOD for him. I hope DJT addresses or mentions this travesty in his speech today. FAUCI, LILLEY and J6 Cmtee, Pelosi SHOULD BE CALLED OUT INDIVIDUALLY and it should be PUBICLY ACKNOWLEDGED, We The People, KNOW….WE KNOW you vipers, low lifes, criminals, evil doers DON’T walk away unscathed.
Joe Biden has pardoned Dr. Anthony Fauci, retired Gen. Mark Milley
I hope/expect that PDJT will ignore this nonsense, and at the least, recall Milley to active duty and court-martial him. Also investigate Fauci for perjury to Congress (see Rand Paul on this).
The idea that the power to pardon is the same as the power to impart immunity should be dismissed categorically.
Exactly!!! A President who uses other politicians/LE/Federal bureaucrats to commit crimes on behalf of a sitting President against political opponents can then just blanket pardon them? I don’t think that’s Constitutional but what do I know??? JMO
so Pencil neck got pardoned? For what?
Ed Buck.
Good point. Very good point.
Certainly these questions on the limits of Presidential pardon power must be answered, and will by SCOTUS.
And, even the liberal Justices will HAVE to be cognisant that any broad power they grant to Joe, they are also giving to PDJT, or any future Presidents, which SHOULD give them pause.
.Since these pardons apperently exempt them from prosecution for any unstated crimes they may have committed, what about if they refuse to appear when subpoened to do so?
Are they exempt from contempt of court?
If not, there are plenty below or in addition to them who were not pardoned, and who these can be compelled to testify against.
Oh what a tangled web, …a ghordian Knot Joes peoplr have created.
My intuition tells me this will all backfire on Biden, and the Dems.
And we are there. Day 1 of a new road. Changes coming quickly and yes we are ready and willing to keep the plans and policies moving in positive ways to help we the people of America first and foremost. Time to get going and the relief is palpable across our great nation. Welcome home everyone!
He’s doing something right when there is no loser in the bunch.
Here come Senile Joe’s final list of pardons.
He’s included Fauci and Milley. We’re “Shocked! Shocked!”, right?
Milley and Fauci just got pardoned by the Biden train wreck.
For?
damn him…hope he suffers badly……
OK AG Bondi, put them on the stand, make them admit their crimes. Prosecute them if they lie, treat each lie as a separate crime.
After their crimes have been officially exposed via AG Bondi, state AG need to prosecute them for state crimes that are not covered by the pardon.
Let’s test the limits of preemptive pardons. Feels very hokey.
America has become a joke and joe biden did it.
Imagine this cast of characters being part of an investigation into the 2020 cheat and the 6 Jan ‘Fedsurection.” They cannot be prosecuted now so they have to tell the truth, no? So when it all comes out 2020 election was stolen. Biden not legitimate.
Yes, FJB not legitimate and so the pardons he signed are also not legitimate. It puts those on the stand in a catch 22 predicament. Jail if they lie, jail if they tell the truth.
Don’t surprised if there’s a sudden rash of fatal accidents and suicides by those that have been pardoned.
Yes, for me, ultimately destroying utterly their false narratives is vital to the future of MAGA and our Republic.
WHATEVER course if action will guarantee that, is to me the goal.
WE simply can NOT allow these false narratives to survive;
“2020 was the most secure election in our Nations history”, “Biden won, fair and square and their is no evidence of any fraud sufficient to change the results!”
“J6 was a violent INSURRECTION by disgruntled Trump supporters, initiated at his instigation, to disrupt the certification process, because they refuse to accept the results that their cabdidate lost.”
“Muh Russia was a politicak dirty trick by the Clinton campaign that got out of hand, fooling the FBI.”
We must utterly and completely refute and debunk them, with evidence universally recognised, that they are forever dead,..THAT is an absolute priority,.. that narrative enginneerinh that our enemies are so good at, can NOT be successful,. not this time.
eeegads that can’t be her for real! poor baby doll.
That bulge is what baby boys do to their mothers.
So they admit they’re guilty of criminal activity? Bummer we won’t see any accountability or justice- again.
“WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden has pardoned Dr. Anthony Fauci, retired Gen. Mark Milley and members of the House committee that investigated the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol, using the extraordinary powers of his office in his final hours to guard against potential “revenge” by the incoming Trump administration.”
https://apnews.com/article/biden-trump-fauci-milley-pardons-january-6-3cba287f89051513fb48d7ae700ae747
Clear message this sends: They were all guilty of wrongdoings.
Send Congressional subpoenas to them. It’s not like they can’t be investigated. If they’re no-shows, give them the Bannon treatment. If they do show, trash their reputations for all time while getting to the truth.
If they lie under oath, it’s perjury, a new crime not covered by the pardon.
“No Johnson” Johnson doesn’t have the huevos to do this.
So glad I won’t see “resistance day #…”!
1462 days. We won.
Thank you God! I feel safe again! No more disgusting commies in charge.
Plenty are still in charge.
Biden signs pardons for Fauci, Milley, Cheney, all Jan 6 staffers/Congress critters and DC police connected to Jan 6.
Find a way to exploit this tacit admission of guilt.
Amen. Makes me ill.
No one is above the law. Right? Right???
Can they (mainly Fauci) still be charged in international courts?
They can be charged in state courts. Hello Ken Paxton.

As expected, the Left indicts itself:
https://protectdemocracy.org/work/the-presidential-pardon-power-explained/
All of this suggests that there is a huge reservoir of criminality that has not been proactively protected.
I was not leaning toward this disposition until today. The shere volume of pardons symbolically legitimizes the notion that the Biden period in office has been one of the greatest political shams and fraudulent criminal legacies in American political history.
Does it protect them from civil suits?
It does NOT protect them from State criminal charges,International criminal charges or civil litigation, it ONLY covers Federal charges..
Whether the blanket nature of these pardons (i.r. it does not specify WHAT crimes they are exempted from being charged for) and whether it applies to future crimes,..will have to be clarified by SCOTUS.
Precedent says a Presidential pardon CAN be issued to someone not charged with a crime, and it doesn’t have to specify which crime or crimes,..because of Nixons pardon.
But then, NOBODY CHALLENGED Nixons pardon, and precedent is only established and maintained, until someone challenges.
Do these pardons of Miley,Fauci, the J6 committee, staff and LEO’s that testified apply ONLY to official acts?
Presumably, Miley and Fauci had little to do with J6, and the LEO that testified to the committee certainly had nothing to do with the Afganistan withdrawal, sharing info with China, or the scamdemic, so can one pardon lump together such disparit people and crimes?
Pardons are supposed to be for crimes committed, and include include the contrition of the recipient.
Can the pardon include a statement asseting the recipient has no GUILT, and yet is never the less being pardoned to protect them from a possible politically motivated prosecution that hasn’t happened yet?
And, whatever SCOTUS decides, the same will apply to PDJT and any future Presidents, and even the liberals on the Court are going to know that and vote accordingly.
This article from the Gateway Pundit about the Israeli hostage situation sounds like a major mistake. If it’s accurate I hope PDT remedies the situation.
I put the link in the box but it doesn’t show. What am I doing wrong?
Is this it?

Yes. Thanks BruceC.
Reply in error
I think this is one where we definetly have to wait and see how this turns out.
PDJT featured the negotiator, and championed the return of some hostages.
However, two days earlier he stated unequivocally “if all the hostages are not released by inaugeration day, all hell breaks loose”,…its inaugeration day, and not all hostsges have been released.
Cry havoc, and let slip the dogs, Mr. President.
Otherwise, no one is goung to respect you to keep your word.
Do you really think Hamas will abide by a cease fire? We get the hostages, stand back and watch what happens the minute they break the agreement.
a big Fu to Democracy with Biden pardoning all the criminals like Cheney and the whole Jan 6 committee…..President Trump has to find a way to go after them ……….there HAS to be a way
HOW do you pardon someone who has no charges filed against them? There HAS to be a legal way. What did he pardon them for? They had to have committed a CRIME so what is the CRIME????
Bondi BETTER fix this
This may be a stupid question but wanted to ask anyway. Does this mean they couldn’t be charged with treason? Is treason pardonable too?
Can’t for the life of me understand how you pardon for crimes not convicted. Guess it will be tested.
I agree. Pardoning into the future seems to negate the definition of the word.
Nixon oardon did not specify any crimes committed.
So, it established a “precedent”, OF SORTS.
BUT, I am pretty sure nobody CHALLENGED its validity, hence it stands as precedent, UNTIL CHALLENGED.
These Biden pardons WILL be challenged, and we WILL get a clarificstion on the limits of Presidential Pardoning power,..
Crimes not convicted?
They aren’t even indicted for anything.
We will soon here from the “turn the page” crowd. This will include all the Dems, most of the media, and even many Republicans who will tell us in unison that “It’s time to turn the page on the past” and that further investigations into any of these matters would be divisive and counterproductive.
Sometimes DS and swamp behavior is simply too predictable.
He just put a giant target on their backs…now we HAVE to investigate to see why they would even need a pardon. What did they do? 🤔🤔🤔
Take it to court and challenge the pardons.
Challenge the process itself even if that is held “sacred”.
Turn the pardons into an albatross that stigmatizes the beneficiaries permanently. There are many ways to attack this challenge. The issue will be how much time and resources will it be worth expending in this regard.
There is no provision for blanket immunity unless they provide information.
Breaking News:
Biden last-minute pardons: Fauci, Milley, and the January 6th Committee.
“So even if they pardon Anthony Fauci, if he accepts the pardon, it then incriminates everyone involved in the RICO, and they’re all guilty. So you know, if they go and they pardon Anthony Fauci with a blanket pardon, he accepts it, well, he condemns everyone else in the government who’s, who is involved in this operation.” (Breitbart)
Proof, if it was ever needed, of a series of criminal conspiracies to thwart President Trump. Conspiracies that included an engineered virus that killed millions.
Was Birx pardoned?
Not yet.
Thanksgiving to The Almighty for this day.
Prayers up for PDJT, his family, his staff and his people going into the Executive Branch, their safety and health and success to restore this Republic.
Under the Constitution, there is no settled law whatsoever on whether a pardon may be subsequently withdrawn by the Executive.
It has never been attempted, so there is no law on the matter.
A pardon bears the legal magnitude and durability of any other Executive Order. And EOs now have the long-standing precedent of subsequent withdrawal.
Food for thought. Withdraw the Biden pardons, President Trump. Force the issue.
At a minimum, Bankrupt these criminals fighting the argument through to SCOTUS. Break the system’s games.
And in the meantime, they cannot plead the 5th, as they incriminate all their co-conspirators.
This is good. Remember we are battered Conservatives no more. Just do it!
It’s now or never.
Exactly.
I think Fauci has more money than God.
Thank you Sundance and crew for giving us all a place to sort through everything these pasts four years.
No matter how crazy it got, it was always nice knowing there was this place called “The Treehouse” to break it all down.
Peace!
Day One.

Ah-hhhhh….

Now all the “Pre-imteve” Pardons. Good lord!
Preemptive acknowledgement of guilt.
I knew I couldn’t have spelled that correctly @ 3:48 ( my time) and stupid correct made it out to be “immediately “ lol.
From Fox News
“Biden pardons Mark Milley, Anthony Fauci, J6 committee members
Speculation whirled that Trump could open investigations on Fauci and others”
By Anders Hagstrom Fox News
Published January 20, 2025 7:26am EST
President Biden pardoned Dr. Anthony Fauci, Gen. Mark Milley (Ret.), and others who some speculated may have faced investigations under the incoming Trump administration on Monday.
Biden’s pardons come just hours before he is set to depart the White House and President-elect Trump takes the oath of office once again. The pardon also applies to a litany of people involved in the January 6 select committee investigation.
In addition to the named individuals, the pardon applies to, “Members of Congress and staff who served on the Select Committee, and the U.S. Capitol and D.C. Metropolitan police officers who testified before the Select Committee.”
Notably, Special Counsel Jack Smith, former FBI Director Christopher Wray and Attorney General Merrick Garland are not included in the pardon, despite speculation that they may face backlash from the incoming administration.
More here: https://www.foxnews.com/politics/biden-pardons-mark-milley-anthony-fauci-j6-committee-members
The common greetings for these pardoned people should be: “What laws did you break that you needed to be pardoned?”
After the 20th person asks them that, they will become angry, 20 more they will become violent, then in prison.
So that includes Cassidy Hutchinson, who was told to lie by Cheney?
Get Birx.
By accepting the pardons they have admitted their guilt. Even though they can’t be charged with their crimes, the investigation should proceed. Their crimes need to be proven for the low-info folks and the real history books.
A US Presidential pardon cannot protect Fauci from prosecution in other countries as a mass murderer.
It also doesn’t protect him from prosecution in state courts.
What is the punishment for a coup?
Can these pardons be challenged due to FJB probably not knowing what he was signing? A traitorous general, a murderous doctor, Congress people who ruined lives & destroyed evidence…FJB is a MONSTER and the rat party didn’t dump him for being a monster – they only dumped him because his incompetence became too obvious. The Democrat party ought to be outlawed.
However, somehow I think POUS will let it go and focus on going forward.
Knowing that Biden is/has been cognitively impaired for a long time, it was someone much more with it who decided this. And they knew it wouldn’t be frivolous to pardon them. From their perspective. From their perspective the y knew there was something there.
Interesting this pardon includes the Staffers that worked for the J6 committee ,(Mary McCord?) and the LEO,’s that testified, (did ashley babbits killer testify to the J6 committee?) but not anyone else who testified, nor to any other law enforcement other than those who testified.
No pardon for corrupt brother Jim yet? Jim was in on Hunter’s schemes.
Jim is behind on his payments to the big guy. So, no pardon for you bro.
There is still time for Jim to pay up.
Not sure their corruption is criminal.
30 minutes to go.. may already be in the queue. 🙁
For only the second time in United States history, Inauguration Day and Martin Luther King Day fall on the same day. The first time marked the continuance of an administration of aspirin factory bombings, impeachment and acquittal and sordid Hillarycides.
We may not be around for the third time, the fourth time or the fifth time this takes place (2053, 2081, and 2121 (since 2100 is not a leap year)), but the healing and restoration of this country begins TODAY.
The Sun is finally out, it’s been a great while and I am so excited. Thank you God. Amen
Thank GOD were nearly there. Divine Providence!
Peace and Prosperity for the USA and the world!
Pardoning Fauci, Milley, Cheney and “anyone who served on Jan. 6th committee”
The final disgusting, despicable, criminal act of the most corrupt administration to be in the White House.
Milley is absolutely a seditious criminal.
Prison?
You misspelled execution.
For crimes against humanity.
Good one Roger!
The Capitol police are covered by the pardon, so Ashli Babbitt’s killer walks free?
Or not. I don’t recall if he testified. Only covers committee witnesses.
The other criminal cops testified.
Now all the witnesses who testified before the committee need to be subpoenaed and required to testify again. If they lie again, they can be prosecuted. If they recant, the truth gets out. It’s a win-win. They can admit to lying and not face prosecution. Then ask them who told them to lie. Rinse and repeat until we get to the complete truth.
There are a lot of people downstream of the “committee” to put pressure on, that’s for sure.
this is a great plan
Americans need to know what was actually going on
Exactly right.
Hillary said if Trump won, they would all hang.
I said on another thread, how perfect both women were at the wreath-laying ceremony.
I wanted to also say how incongruous Sundance’s commentary on the First Lady’s style seemed to me, but I thought due to the solemnity of the thread it might be inappropriate.
For those who might not get it, I am not mocking Sundance.
Vance cleans up nice.
