Payton Armstrong and Jack Winstanley at MMFA:

January 6 participants who received pardons or commuted sentences from President Donald Trump are now demanding retribution, including by calling for prosecutors to “be imprisoned” and “put behind bars,” saying there needs to be “a prosecution for perjury” against U.S. Capitol Police officers Harry Dunn and David Lazarus, and declaring that “the next obvious step would be fire all prosecutors, all FBI agents who were involved in this witch hunt.” Some have also discussed “class action lawsuits” against investigators and prosecutors.

Trump pardoned or commuted the sentences of January 6 participants, and right-wing media cheered the move

Trump issued “full, complete and unconditional” pardons to January 6 participants, including “violent offenders,” and commuted the sentences of members of extremist groups who had been convicted of seditious conspiracy. According to The New York Times, “The pardons will also wipe the slate clean for violent offenders who went after the police on Jan. 6 with baseball bats, two-by-fours and bear spray and are serving prison terms, in some cases of more than a decade. … In a separate move, Mr. Trump commuted the prison sentences of five other Proud Boys, some of whom had been convicted at trial with Mr. [Enrique] Tarrio. He also commuted the sentences of Stewart Rhodes, the leader of the Oath Keepers militia, and eight of his subordinates. Altogether, the commutations erased more than 100 years of prison time for the 14 defendants, almost all of whom were convicted of seditious conspiracy.” [The New York Times, 1/20/25]

Earlier this month, Vice President JD Vance told Fox News Sunday that people who committed violence on January 6 should “obviously” not be pardoned. Other prominent Republicans, including some in Trump’s administration, previously advocated for people who attacked police officers to face consequences. Sen. Katie Britt (R-AL) even tied her stance to Vance’s comments, saying, “I agree with JD.” [The Associated Press, 1/12/25; Project Democracy, 1/13/25]

Right-wing media praised the move while glossing over pardons and commutations granted to those previously convicted of violent crimes or seditious conspiracy. On War Room, Steve Bannon celebrated “blanket” pardons. On Fox News, OutKick founder Clay Travis declared, “I love the pardon of the Jan 6 political prisoners.” [Media Matters, 1/21/25; Real America's Voice, War Room, 1/21/25; Fox News, America's Newsroom, 1/21/25]

How is it that other countries make health care coverage affordable for MOST of their citizens?  Answer:  “Variations of SINGLE-PAYER, basically that’s like having Medicare for EVERYONE, not just seniors.” --  Jason Doctor, associate professor, University of Southern California School of Pharmacy. 

Problem in United States is, our government can’t regulate the price of drugs even for Medicare.  “U.S. patients can pay as much as 16X what people in other countries pay for the SAME drug!”  -- David Lazarus, Los Angeles Times. 

Downside, lower prices stifle some innovation.  Nah, innovation would still occur, but the profit might be 5X not 16X.  Ultimately, the US marketplace in drugs emphasizes GREED as a motivating factor, not good will.  Does this culture need good will?  Of course.  Don’t let the cynics dissuade.  Good will and reasonable profit shall sustain us, not the opposite.
