Burn them
RockKickass
I wish she was the speaker. We need someone with fire. Pelosi loses seats every time she’s speaker
MrStealUrChange
A pardon says you're guilty but you're forgiven. Asking for a pardon is just saying you're guilty.
JohnWickdidnothingwrong
My only complaint is that she spelled "executed" wrong.
iwishjtmoneywasstillavailableitsmyoldvideogamemoniker
If there's no wrong doing there's no need for pardons.
FelonyRaptor
...from the planet.
PraiseThePook
Agreed.

CrossedKeys
She’s amazing…and right…again.
AllistairTheSpaceNinja
Supreme Court rules 6-3 that all women with the initials AOC should be jailed with no due process.
djangojazz
She right. I wrote my rep and the speaker and got no response back. The DNC even had a movement to expell Pelosi voted down. The DNC is>
djangojazz
completely oblivious in their leadership to how bad this is.
jakobbp
No she didn't. SHE did not mention GOP. She correctly implied that ANY who sought pardon should be expelled. Not surprising, all are R-asses

bourbonandbaddecisions
If they’re not guilty of anything then why are they seeking pardons? Seems logical.
thatsbadmmkay
"At the bare minimum." Which is quite frankly less than the bare minimum.
grandpadoug63
She is absolutely right! They wouldn't have sought a pardon if they were innocent of any wrong doing!
Imadethisaccounttopost
They were part of insurrection. They should be gone
LeCoq1963
You're damn right they should! If this were Dem pardon-seekers, the GOP would already have them against the wall

ARREST TRUMP TOO
sadurdaynight
Giving tours. Unlocking doors. Showing them where tools and weapons were. Going online to voice support for them and keep lying for them. 1/
sadurdaynight
There's SO MANY THINGS that should have gotten these folks arrested by now for treason. Yet, here we are./
grandpadoug63
She is absolutely right! They wouldn't have sought a pardon if they were innocent of any wrong doing!
Napukin
Absolutely.
getadogupya
Traitors shouldn't be allowed to govern? Controvertial stuff...
UnattendedDeviant
If it was Rep. Ilhan Abdullahi Omar doing same Repubs would be calling to have her expelled AND sent to Gitmo.
FaithAlone
Pretty sure they also want to do that to “sandy” Cortez too.
IBroughtASpareDrainpipe
As usual, AOC is correct.
LordElups
She's right, as normal. The voice of common sense
Lionskull
from a left point of view, she's great. from a progressive point of view, she has sold out to palosi and is disappointing.
icommentwithsteveharvey
Not so common anymore
DarthVella
But carbon is healthy for us! Just, you know, as part of our food, and not in our air and heating up our environment beyond our tolerances.
Bakerysnake
God someone should send her to an African country suffering from severe climate change induced drought or the middle of a California wild
Bakerysnake
fire
icommentwithsteveharvey
Probably blame it on Jewish space lasers again
BonIvermectin
Yes please.

American Democracy is dead. The final nail was Jan. 6th, 2021
BronzeLantern
I like that lady. She's articulate and reasonable. Elect her.
zHurk777
AOC Is a Communist Socialist Radical Liberal !!! - magas.
getadogupya
If only there were some motherfucking consequences...
FourScoreAndSevenBeersAgo
FBI raided Clark's home and seized Eastman's phone, it's heating up. I fully believe Garland will pleasantly surprise us.
getadogupya
I want to believe...
Tairu8
I hope you’re right because at this point my faith in our gov’t to do the right thing is damn near zero
whyaname
I am guessing that even if there are legal consequences. SCOTUS will pardon them. Unless the seditious members of congress are only expelled
shinigami02
SCOTUS doesn't have the power to Pardon, that power only lies with the President
BlueBarnstormer
She's right. Asking for a pardon proves they knew what they were doing was illegal.
CanadaEhBuddy
And accepting one is admission to committing the crime
Willowknowsall
And that they were party to attempting to overthrow the govt which is definitely expulsion worthy
MyVerySmarterUserName
She actually said ‘at the very least’, so she’s even more right ..
UnBobaLievable
If a pardon was granted, the person who gets it is considered guilty, they just don't serve time.
theundergroudman
They didn't get a pardon, so in theory you could charge them with said crime, no? What am I missing? Why are we talking instead of charging
BlueBarnstormer
I see no reason to assume they won't be charged someday. Not saying they will be, but cases like this take years.
theundergroudman
They said that about trump and Matt gaetz. It's been 6 yrs now and if that is any indictor of how long it takes it won't happen in our life
BlueBarnstormer
It has not been 6 years for either of them. Jan 6 was 7ish months ago and Gaetz won't be charged until his compatriot"s case is over.
theundergroudman
Its been 2 yrs and matt hasn't been charged, and you are saying it won't even go forward until the other case is over? Another few yrs
PassionAggressive
Because in order to get a pardon, you are required to admit guilt for the crime.
theundergroudman
So, why are we not charging them with the said crime or is this just political theater/talking points?
PassionAggressive
All guesses, but even a confession doesn’t equal guilt (in court). The cops didn’t beat it out of them though so maybe it does :)
WilliamHuskerAdama
As a Norwegian: She really seems like one of the very few sane politicians in the US. It must be so frustrating having her job.
AllGloryToTheDarkLord
Shes a centrist. Which, in America, is the farthest left politician.
echonite
I'd argue they are all sane. They are just mostly all self serving.
nemesisx00
Then you haven't been paying attention to the MAGAt crowd for the past... 6+ years?
echonite
The point was regarding the politicians, not the followers. The followers are indeed insane.
AllGloryToTheDarkLord
The politicians think the covid vaccine has dead babies, leftover from the democrat baby bbq and orgy. Thats just mike flynn & MTG
ProppaGanda
No wonder she's not very well liked by either GOP or mainstream Dems. She actually wants to do something for the democracy.
JustAPileOfCats
Future President material.
derekjohn
And that is exactly what the Republicans fear.
EmCeeMiNacion
Better start working on putting more diversity in congress/senate. Lest you find out how how old white men react to a female minority pres.
ProppaGanda
I hope so, I really hope so.
freezingpilot
Would be the first time that the phrase "Anyone can be President" would be true as well.
Koztah
I hope for the US people's sake, people who actually want to effect change rather than pretend to will get to run. I am skeptical.
JustAPileOfCats
We need people who aren't deathly afraid of rocking the boat in defense of human rights, positive progress, people over profits.
Koztah
You definitely do. But your parties don't want to nominate those people by the looks of the last few years.
Idonotbelievewehavecompany
You would see a GOP mass movement like you have never seen before to defeat her. How long do we have to wait? Would be fun to watch
smashpro1
The DNC would work like hell to make sure she didn't get past the primary.
iwanttobebobdylan
She'll be old enough to run for the 2028 election, I think
Minoes
Why is there an age restriction anyway? this woman is more mature that your previous president...
Sirstogie
She would turn 35 just before the 2024 election so she could potentially run for president next election.
