The vast majority of the people who attempted a coup on our government are not in the DC jail, they are out on bail. The less than 40 people who are detained in jail are the worst of the worst, the people who attacked and beat cops. The vast majority of people in the DC jail are black people, that is simply a fact. The insurrectionists who are in jail are White Supremacists. Do I have to explain why it was decided not to mix White Supremacists with black people in a prison? The White Supremacists were held in their separate area of prison, that is not a kooky idea but a fact, alert on that.
This is from a Politico article from 4/19/2021 written by Kyle Cheney, Andrew Desiderio, and Josh Gerstein.
"Insurrection detainees are not completely isolated from the outside world. While in their cells, they have access to tablet computers they can use to trade messages with friends and family members. They can also see other accused rioters during the one hour a day that they are given outside their cell, although it is also their only opportunity for a shower, exercise and contact with their attorneys."
Yes, they can speak with their fellow seditionists while in prison and yes it is not a kooky idea on my part to surmise that the worst of the worst seditionists may be plotting their next violent attack on our democracy.
For those of you who believe that is a kooky idea on my part, you are the problem, you are befriending the seditionists, you are minimizing what happened on 1/6 and is still ongoing. If you think that the 1/6 insurrection ended on 1/6 that is a scary, kooky idea. Alert on that.

(21,234 posts)I was worried that these violent people may be planning future violent acts. I can go make some pancakes now and relax.
Was the plot to kidnap the Michigan governor a part of a coup or just a violent act against government, or is there even a difference?

(21,234 posts)but the biggest threat to our democracy are Democrats who don't realize how serious the threat is to our democracy.
Once the Nazis take power they will hold it for generations.
People who claim we can keep the House by just GOTV without passing S1.
People who believe that Marc Elias can protect us from rigged elections.
People who believe the select committee can save our democracy without DOJ doing its own investigations.
People who call people like me doom and gloomers.
1/6 insurrectionists being given light sentences. (according to several judges)
The MSM is controlled by the anti-democracy party.
I want to be allowed to have my doom and gloom opinion and people can debate that opinion, but I am upset with people who attack me for having that opinion.
I had many differences of opinion with StarfishSaver and we debated those differences. Rules are rules, but I miss those debates.

(21,234 posts)Sorry I ranted like this. Besides, I like your screen name. I played bass guitar back in the 60's, not blues in my neck of the woods but did play a Temptations 6 pack of songs, a song by Toussant McCall, not sure of that spelling. I'm calming down now thinking back.
