MSNBC's Joe Scarborough predicted that Donald Trump's pardon of his violent Jan. 6 supporters could endanger the chances of at least one of his nominees to be confirmed.

The newly inaugurated president issued blanket pardons to U.S. Capitol riot defendants, including those convicted of attacking law enforcement officers, within hours of being sworn in to a second term in office, and the "Morning Joe" host wondered how that brazen move would impact Senate confirmation hearings for his nominees.

Conservative Jonah Goldberg on Tuesday had a warning for Republicans who believe that President Donald Trump's mass pardon of violent January 6th rioters will fade away from the news.

During a panel segment on the pardons, Goldberg slammed both former President Joe Biden and Trump for enacting what he described as "flatly indefensible" pardons on Monday.

President Joe Biden’s last day in office – which saw President Donald Trump sweep back into power – was anything but normal in the legal world as pardons flew from the outgoing president with more expected to come from the new commander-in-chief.

That’s according to CNN’s senior legal analyst Elie Honig, who said Monday that Biden ushered in “a new moment in U.S history” with his flurry of pardons in his remaining minutes as president. They are likely to be followed be Trump’s long-held promise to pardon Jan. 6 rioters.

MSNBC host Nicolle Wallace noted during the first hour of her show Monday afternoon that ultra-wealthy tech titans appeared to take precedence during President Donald Trump's inauguration, as they sat in front of possible Cabinet officials.

"If you widen out where it used to be a liability for any Democratic elected official or Republican elected official to be seen as on the take on the grift, and now you've got Trump enriching and selling everything," said Wallace. "And the people closest to him at this event were not members of the military, not members of Congress, not members of his Cabinet, not even all the family or grandkids. It was the billionaires."

During his presidential swearing-in inaugural ceremony, Donald Trump several times invoked God, while inexplicably not placing his hand on either of the two Bibles Melania Trump held at his side.

“I was saved by God to make America great again,” Trump told the former presidents, lawmakers, and billionaires in attendance at the Capitol Rotunda. “We are one people, one family, and one glorious nation under God,” Trump also declared, adding, “We will not forget our God.”

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) said she expects Democrats to impeach President Donald Trump again — and warned that members of the opposition party would "kill" Republicans with a firing squad if they could.

During an interview after Trump's inauguration on Monday, host Steve Bannon asked Greene about the possibility of a future impeachment.

An angry Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) said she cut to the front of the line at President Donald Trump's inauguration because seating should have been based on who supported him "most" instead of congressional seniority.

Greene explained her actions in an interview on Real America's Voice following Monday's inauguration.

Former U.S. Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-MO) said that the one shocking thing she saw from President Donald Trump was just how "disrespectful" he was to his MAGA supporters who got him where he is.

She began by talking about being in Washington, D.C., and said that it wasn't all that cold, certainly not as cold as it had been at previous inaugurations, like the one in 2009.

MAGA influencer Steve Bannon lashed out at religious figures who spoke at President Donald Trump's inauguration, accusing them of upstaging the 47th president of the United States.

Following the inaugural ceremonies, Bannon voiced his complaints on the pro-MAGA Real America's Voice network. According to the MAGA influencer, the benediction given by Rabbi Ari Berman, Imam Husham Al-Husainy, and Rev. Lorenzo Sewell took more time than Trump's lengthy speech.

President Donald Trump dedicated part of his speech to taxing other countries, something that MSNBC's Lawrence O'Donnell said isn't even possible. It was a remark that caused giggles and laughter for

"I want to do two quick fact-checks on this and then move to a larger point," said O'Donnell as the screen showed President and Dr. Biden boarding Marine One.

President Donald Trump vowed that U.S. astronauts would plant the American flag on Mars during his next administration.

During his inaugural address on Monday, Trump insisted that going to Mars was part of the "manifest destiny" of the United States.
