Who would have ever guessed they were horrible people at their core?

[kpete]

They didn’t send their best.

The U.S. Capitol attack was a crime unlike any in American history. But for some of the defendants accused of crimes related to the riot, it's only been the beginning of their legal troubles.

A CBS News review of U.S. Justice Department court filings shows a growing number of Jan. 6 defendants have been arrested again, for subsequent crimes involving guns, drugs and domestic abuse. The new charges complicate their ability to secure lenient sentences in their cases related to the rioting on Jan. 6, 2021, and they potentially jeopardize attempts by other Capitol riot defendants to secure pretrial releases in their cases.

1. Color me surprised.... NOT!!!

[Biophilic]

2. Only the "best" and "brightest" are called by Trump. Yeah, right.

[harumph]

3. Garbage people

I'm sorry... but that's what they are.

[ThoughtCriminal]

4. The GOP is very attractive to sociopaths

It's their most reliable base.

[Irish_Dem]

5. The GOP is not a political party, it is a crime syndicate.

No surprise they attract other criminals.

[housecat]

16. Most people don't follow the news, so they don't know that.

[Irish_Dem]

19. Or they agree with the GOP crimes or let it happen as long as they get white christian rule.

The GOP base will look the other way and let the GOP leaders commit crimes as long
as they get white male christian rule.

Others in the base love the crimes. Every time Trump commits a crime he gets more money and votes.

Yes then there are those who are clueless.

[housecat]

24. I guess that was just wishful thinking. I was only looking at stupid, not evil.

[Irish_Dem]

25. Yes there are at least three categories. :(

[Duppers]

20. And a CULT.

[Irish_Dem]

21. The crime syndicate recruits cult members to assist with crimes and give legitimacy.

They call their cult members "voters."

[Phoenix61]

6. And that's why sentences that are "just" long probation work

so well. It’s not a big surprise any of them are already in legal trouble for some other action. Violation of Probation can land you in jail for a crazy long time.

7. Who'da thunk if you coddle them, they'll just keep doing it

[gratuitous]

8. And yet the media continue to credit them with good faith statements

These yahoos claim they were just tourists, or that none of them were armed, and don't pay any attention to the hours and hours of video, they're just concerned citizens. And the media report their statements as if they weren't cynical self-serving bullshit.

I'm glad CBS is actually practicing journalism and following up on some of these criminals. Guns, drugs and domestic abuse. Who would ever have guessed it!

[kentuck]

9. Hillary knew they were "deplorable"

from the very beginning.

[sarcasmo]

10. Hillary was right, Deplorables.

[Initech]

11. MAGA is what happens when you let the inmates out of the asylum.

[MiniMe]

12. No right to cry...

[MagickMuffin]

13. It's who they are!

They can't help themselves so they must lash out. Poor babies. Unfortunately we all suffer because of their stupid behaviors.

[DFW]

14. But what if they DID send their best?

Maybe they HAVE NO BETTER than this. They have only gotten away with it for this long because we all assumed that they had never sent their best. Maybe the truth is that they have no better than this, and they did indeed send their best. We just figured that CAN'T be. Maybe we simply figured wrong.

[treestar]

15. When liberals demonstrate, they claim they only have

time because they don't have jobs.

So I guess these people are without jobs. Maybe if the would pull themselves up by their bootstraps and get one, they wouldn't have these problems!

[lame54]

17. And, yet, Elizabeth from Knoxville walks free

[James48]

18. G. O. P.

Grifters of the Penitentiary.

They all need to be in prison for the safety of society.

[sakabatou]

22. I'm shocked! Shocked, I tell you!

[Hermit-The-Prog]

23. Yet we've seen lots of leniency for insurrectionists.
