Let me say one more thing about the pardons, which is Yesterday I wrote a piece, appeared in the morning, about reminding people what all of these – this was before the pardons, by the way. This was first thing in the morning. Reminding people what all of these rioters and insurrectionists and seditionists had done to police officers.

I just am very curious about the police unions and the police officers who supported Donald Trump, who think he backs the blue, who talk about the thin blue line, the FBI agents, the Justice Department officials, the people that probably were pretty sympathetic to Donald Trump's law and order message when it was aimed at George Floyd rioters.

But now I'm kind of curious, you know, it'll be I'll be curious to see the two step that the law and order folks make about a mass pardon of people who were duly convicted, many of them by Trump judges, by Trump appointed judges. who put these guys in the slammer. This wasn't a bunch of like, you know, liberal vegan gender studies tribunals that lock these people up.

Some of these people were actually appointed to the bench by Donald Trump. Others were convicted by a jury of their peers. And I guess, I guess we really are in that strong man saying for my friends, everything for my enemies, the law.

Some of them probably were. But on the other hand, you know, just as in, I think, when I listen to veterans that I used to teach, you know, talking about combat, that doesn't overcome your loyalty to the guy next to you. You know, under attack.

And I just wonder, I mean, sure, they may have agreed with some of the things the rioters believed in, but I doubt they agreed with, you know, smashing in the heads and tasing the person who shared the same uniform standing right next to them. Yeah. Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe America is different in a way that I don't understand anymore.

But my as I said in the article yesterday, my dad was a cop in the 50s. My brother was a cop for years from the 60s and the 80s. The notion that, you know, whatever your other political feelings, people attacking your brother and sister police officers is a pretty hard line. But I guess if you think that's OK, then you think it's OK.
