and the GQP have been ‘defending’ the recount ever since. I always think we’re just a generation away from crazy, but it just gets crazier. MF45 understood that crazy was more effective than truth - breaks my heart

We just had a Democrat Senator do a very cutesy thumb down of a badly needed minimum wage hike. We need to focus up. Rounding up trolls is good and all, but the real fight is with the big money donors letting Americans get chewed up by the real class war machine.

Ivanka and Jared walking the beach, Don Jr. buying a mansion in FL, Trumpo golfing every day, Ivanka and kids lounging on a yacht....while these 'supporters' are either in jail or awaiting the day they leave their families for 3-20 years.

Unreal the capacity for people to throw their lives away for completely obvious con-people.

....evidence methodically, and doing the job they weren't allowed to do under trump.

I recall people complaining a few days after January 6, saying things like "what are they doing, when are they going to arrest anyone?"

Well, they're now over 300 arrests and/or indictments, and the estimate is that only about 400 broke into the Capitol. That's a pretty high hit rate. And I'm sure there are more to come.

Surveillance cameras and cell phone data is going to get them all!

My heart sings every time some trumper gets arrested, incarcerated, or indicted. It’ll do an entire opera singlehandedly when the convictions start coming.

So from that point of view, Yes, I am glad the DOJ & FBI are still putting effort & energy into id’ing and apprehending those who broke into the Capitol. However when this is all said and done with if the people who were physically there 6 Jan are the only ones arrested and held accountable it is going to be very disappointing.

If the people higher up the ladder are not held to account from the leaders of organizations that funded it to the congress people who encouraged it all the way up to the person/s who incited it are not scrutinized and held to account if it found that laws were broken that will be a travesty.

I realize FBI just got phone records of congress members and we still don’t have an AG confirmed so it’s still kind of early. So we will see.

Until they get a big fish or actually drop either the felony murder counts or the domestic terrorism clause (automatic consecutive sentences, rather than concurrent) I will not get excited.

I want plea deals that put them away a long time with no risk of a MAGAT causing jury nullification or a hung jury.
Until then, it's as unsatisfying as the Individual#1 case that has never arrested the former guy.

Even a full and complete justice for all invoved including Trump in jail would not make me happy as long as the evils behind the assault on our government still thrive.

Only when those evils and the threat are truly put behind us shall I find cause for anything more than partial satisfaction in a matter which is still a dark cloud over America.

Not uncommon for victims to wish for revenge and cheer the capture of their assailants.
