bargains most of these cretins have all but one charge dropped in exchange for the guilty plea is what they were trying to do justifies a much, much harsher sentence than the one count they cop to.

These fuckers wanted to murder, or be part of a mob which murdered. It's a historical accident, contingent on things outside of their control, that they failed and thus are only being charged with parading, or disrupting a proceeding, or property crimes. Fuck 'em all.

Boebert was petty enough to do something on a whim to endanger Nancy Pelosi. I'm convinced everybody involved had their little job to do and that was hers.

Thank God she was protected.

Scary to remember some of the commentary - that she was less than a mere minute away from genuinely mortal danger.

Were involved. I'm fed up with the bullshit of not able to release that information. Bullshit! Congress can release the names of those that requested pardons. I'm sick and fuckin tired of Schiff and others toying around with this fuckin shit. Release the names!

Trump wanted his Trumpistas to decapitate the line of Presidential succession, that is the Vice President and the Speaker of the House.

As long as I kept thinking of them by their names instead of their titles, I was cold with horror, but that part about the line of succession didn’t hit me. And then it did.
