some will serve time but most will not... jury nullification if they get one or two MAGAts on their trials.

But, whether they serve time or not, most will seek employment someplace else... and we need to remind potential future employers who these assholes really are.

What a load of bullsht "I followed hundreds of others through an open set of doors to the Capitol building to see what was taking place inside,”

how many of these criminals arrested were not the garden variety basement dwelling shut-ins, but people ingrained within parts of our mainstream society. People running businesses really got nothing better to do with their time and are this impressionable? Sad.
