The First Felon needs his brown shirts. They will become his de facto instruments of violent suppression.

Fostering an armed militia he can call up on his whim. Any reporter going to point that out to him?

but it'll take some time for his criminal cabal to develop the 'internal security' infrastructure and staff it with a sufficient number of thugs. Probably will be full operational by the end of this year if not sooner.

Many from the group of pardoned thugs will go on to commit more acts of violence. This has the potential to turn public opinion against Trump. I hope I'm wrong and they slither off to never be heard from again.

Civil war brewing inside Proud Boys as top leader says he's done pretending he isn't a Nazi

We will no longer allow homosexuals or other ‘undesirables’ into our ranks. We will confront the Zionist criminals who wish to destroy our civilization.”

legions of criminals who be on the front line kicking down doors and dragging people out of their homes by their hair. Mark my words.

all these petty militia types hoarding the guns and ammo have wet dreams of dystopian breakdown of society where they can carve their niche kingdoms and hog all the girls while weaker men lick their boots. To them life is one big violent video game.
