(19,035 posts)"I would do it again tomorrow." That's not going to play well in front of a judge. This person should get no bail because of those comments.

That should cost her an extra year or two in the federal pen.

Though the responsibility of all this belongs to the for-profit messengers of "conservatism", the 24/7 lie peddlers like FOX, etc., it's finally people who willingly do stupid things that act irresponsibly. And these guys weren't kids. They just got caught up in an echo chamber where, to them, even their own half-assed ramblings took on great dimension and profundity.
I'm glad I'm not young these days. It makes the 60's look like kindergarten.
Somewhere at the root of this is, I suspect, the greater, older lie. The one that goes, "social security is a fraud and won't be there for us."

(6,178 posts)Perfect alibi. I wasn't there; I was in jail for Jan 6th.
Also, there is this:
Imagine getting stopped for speeding and saying to the arresting officer. I did nothing wrong my new "Mustang" has a speedometer that tops out at 140 mph. The road is flat, straight, dry, empty, and I was only doing a little over 100!
