1. It's truly mass insanity.

[orangecrush]

3. ARGLEBARGLEBIDENBARGLE

We'll be hearing a lot less of this kind of shit, thankfully.

[Rorey]

2. Lived at home with his mommy and daddy

He'll no doubt go to prison, and they'll have to deal with the fallout.

Thoughts and prayers.

[orangecrush]

4. They are probably relieved.

He's in a place where he can't hurt himself or others, and they don't have to support him.

[Rorey]

8. He probably ruined their lives

Neighbors said they were shocked. If his parents are magats too, I don't feel sorry for them.

[Marcuse]

5. They can convert his room into a home office.

[BlueStater]

6. How exactly was what he was doing supposed to stop Biden from becoming president?

The mindset of these moronic psychopaths is truly baffling.

[Rorey]

9. I know, right?

President Biden is living in the White House and Mellis will be living in prison. #winning?

[luvtheGWN]

13. He just provided proof positive

that he and his fellow insurrectionists were planning to overturn the election results by preventing Pence from counting the electoral votes.

As I said before, they were so certain that they would be successful and be proved "heroes" that they never donned disguises, and they took selfies and pics and videos.

It was all planned, and the proof of that planning is slowly coming out.

[Rebl2]

19. Absolutely it was planned

What gets me is they took pictures and videos of themselves and posted them! Somehow they didn’t think the FBI could find them or people they knew wouldn’t turn them in!?

[TNNurse]

21. Some of them had matching t-shirts.

Don't think that was spontaneous.

[plimsoll]

28. We've been applying a model based on evidence, cause and effect.

We've kind of scoffed at the denigration of the reality based community, but Carl Rove was correct. That's not the way a huge slice of the American populace works or think anymore. The didn't think the FBI would find them because in their universe the election was stolen, there was massive fraud and once they broke into the Capitol and "Stopped the steal(TM)" the FBI would be rounding us up.

Their worldview is consistent and closed, how long you can go denying facts is a good question. The moment is pretty scary because the ones who are getting dragged in are saying "we were mislead, etc." I think the judges are correct in denying bail. It is harsh, but as long as they can "get away with it" the more their worldview are reinforced. Simultaneously, members of a pluralistic democracy look at that and say, "but we're suppressing their rights." That may be true, but their rhetoric has consistently said they'll do more than suppress our rights if allowed to.

We say this is a cult, and it's true, but when a cult has this many members and is this keen on using violence to get their own way, society has to decide if it wants to protect itself or allow the cult to replace it. Rightwing rhetoric is so happy to talk about sharia law replacing our laws, but as with many of their bugbears it's a projection of what they'd do if they could.

[AKwannabe]

30. This belongs in an OP

Not buried in replies...

[MLAA]

33. I agree with akwannabe, you should cut/paste your reply into

a stand alone post 🙂

[druidity33]

39. Yup. This should be an OP. K&R, nt

[orangecrush]

40. OP Worthy.

[plimsoll]

43. I put it up finally,

I couldn’t think of where it belonged, so I stuck it in campaigns. Law enforcement needs to deal with this for the moment, but long term we’re going to drive this into the campaigns.

[luvtheGWN]

29. I think the term that might apply to them is

"delusions of grandeur". They were so sure of success, and obviously so deluded too.

[wnylib]

37. They believed thar rhey would succeed

in preventing Biden's win from being certified and Trump would remain president. So they expected to be proclaimed as heroes and not arrested as criminals. Most of them likely hoped to get some sort of award from Trump.

[MiHale]

7. They got the key INTO prison...

They will never get the key OUT OF prison.

Idiots

[Bucky]

10. He seems stable

[Rebl2]

17. Right

A very stable genius-not!

[MustLoveBeagles]

11. K&R

[BarbD]

12. You can't fix stupid. They're all nuts.

[MarcoZandrini]

22. But....

...you can wack it with a 2 x 4!

[Chainfire]

14. You can tell that I am not a right-winger......

I never make photos or videos of myself when I am committing multiple felonies. In fact, I make every effort to avoid cameras, microphones and witnesses. Yea, I know it is cowardly, but I have never served a day in jail!

These people are the face of modern American Republicanism.

[PatSeg]

15. Says antifa and BLM will "burn your city down"

while THEY trash the Capitol building. "Our side is actually fighting for freedom and the constitution." I'm quite sure this fool has no idea what the constitution says aside from the 2nd amendment.

[gratuitous]

16. Oh yes, Jonathan, the world heard YOU

And now you get to go away for a long time, and nobody's going to hear you and your petulant tantrums. Adios, motha-fucka.

[Chautauquas]

18. He went from "banging on the goddamn doors"

to sitting in a goddamn jail-cell. What a guy.

[liberalla]

20. That concludes the prosecution.

... should take the jury about 10 minutes, right?

[Traildogbob]

23. Get this to the greatest page

The page Ron Johnson calls his Facebook page.

[Jilly_in_VA]

24. What a dumbfcuck

And they call our guys cucks! These fools have been fcuked by an orange con man and an imaginary prophet!

[Stuart G]

26. ..Yes fucked by a con man...ain't the first time, and ain't the last time..

[Politicalgolfer]

25. Good God, what a gathering of losers & pathetic excuses for men!

Nothing like advertising you are a reject like being a part of these idiot groups. Rejects R' Us would be a good name for the whole lot of these dumb, ignorant, weak clowns.

[Stuart G]

27. Yes, Johnathan will get lots of time to think about it...He thought he could get away with it, and..

face...no consequences .................................................................................................
.......................................I guess he will have a lot of time to think about
his thinking and what he said and did.....lots and lots of time....& he didn't get away with it.

[Chicago1980]

31. Hmmm...

Got ahold of some 'Just For Men' for that greying beard i see.

[MLAA]

32. This traitor said he would never surrender.

Yet apparently surrender he did. 😬

[BobTheSubgenius]

34. He looks kinda like Seth Rogan's slightly deranged, ne'er-do-well cousin.

Perhaps even a brother.

[11 Bravo]

35. The DERP is strong in that one.

[helpisontheway]

36. Goodness his crazy ass is from my city. 🤦🏽‍♀️Nt

[samnsara]

38. why do they all look crazy?

[orangecrush]

41. Because they are?

[Aristus]

42. Dirty insurrectionist needs to shower, shave, and cut his hair.

Just joking, but my how things have changed in the last sixty years...

[orangecrush]

44. I get it

Things have gone 180 degrees!
