Rhodes: "We should have brought rifles."

[kpete]

I’m sure Tucker and Hannity will say that they are taking his comments out of context.

[MarineCombatEngineer]

1. Buh Bye Rhodes,

hope you enjoy the Federal Prison System, hope you live long to suffer the consequences of your traitorous actions, along with your traitorous accomplices.

These Fed. prosecutors are doing a great job putting the pieces of the puzzle together.

[vlyons]

4. A life in a small gray cell with nothing to do

and a target on his back for cons to get prison notoriety for offing him. A wasted life.

[plimsoll]

21. I'd say it was wasted before now.

A life spent trying to figure out how to make other people miserable seems like a waste to me.

[The Grand Illuminist]

22. He won't see Gen pop.

[jmowreader]

42. He'll have plenty to do

Those pots and pans won’t scrub themselves.

[sanatanadharma]

2. "firing pin drop"' Nice!

[Grins]

18. He didn't say that.

Glenn just said, “You could have heard a pin drop.”

Anything additional was poetic license by the writer.

[Martin68]

26. Grins, are you saying this isn't a copy of the actual Tweet?

Who added the word "firing?"

[Grins]

47. I went to the source and watched the actual video.

[Martin68]

48. Thanks for that!

[twodogsbarking]

3. Isn't that like pleading guilty?

[SergeStorms]

23. Every defense Attorney's dream client. 🙄

What a putz. That's one way to make sure you get the maximum sentence allowable by law. 🤨

[PatSeg]

5. Holy crap!

Guess you could say, he isn't repentant. Or maybe he wants to go to prison as a martyr for the cause?

[intrepidity]

27. Surely it must have been an audio recording

or someone quoting a transcript.

[PatSeg]

30. Okay, that makes more sense

[gratuitous]

6. Reports are that Elmer will testify

I can see the prosecution attorneys spending the entire weekend putting together their cross examination questions.

[Aviation Pro]

7. No ADX Montrose for you, you one-eyed sack of shit

ADX Florence, worse.

[yardwork]

8. Uh oh.

[wiggs]

9. wonder how many voters will see this quote? nt

[jaxexpat]

10. What a strange way to apologize and take responsibility and stuff.

This guy might get some time........at least until he's pardoned.

[Celerity]

14. it was from a covert recording, not live testimony

[BobTheSubgenius]

11. I'm trying to imagine a context in which that statement would be even a little bit benign

[Emile]

12. These idiots are proud to be traitors!

[keithbvadu2]

13. Trump wanted to disable the metal detectors.

Trump wanted to disable the metal detectors.

The only armed people for them to fight and kill were the police.

[Initech]

15. Seriously, how is this not terrorism?

[LymphocyteLover]

44. clearly domestic terrorism

[RedSpartan]

17. "Legitimate political discourse"

[MadMike47]

19. Elmer Rhodes - another unfortunate victim

of an official Red Ryder 200-Shot, Range-Model Air Rifle with a compass in the stock and this thing that tells time.

[LymphocyteLover]

45. IOW he shot his own eye out

[PatrickforB]

24. Treason. This hate has been fomented by Republican leaders and

the right wing propaganda apparatus for decades, and especially since 2008 when Trump started his spiel about Obama's birth certificate. Trump is the cancer. He invited these whack-jobs to ooze out of the cray-cray swamp and the NRA gave them license to buy guns, guns, guns. Now, the Republican terror is stochastic, with GOP leaders speaking in code (stand by, cut them off at the knees, and so on) to dangerous people like Rhodes and Depape.

These people have awakened the demons Shakespeare called the 'dogs of war' and the bible calls the 'four horsemen.' These aren't real demons, of course, but they are the collective energy generated by collective hate, racism, anti-Sematism, xenophobia, 'warriors' against crime and drugs, and the myth that we all are individuals pulling ourselves up by the bootstraps.

This, coupled with the Wall Street oligarchs whose greed is soaking up public monies, and the legal precedant of profits over people is squeezing us mercilessly. Our children are debt slaves, and systematic union busting has rendered worker income stagnant, while automation has driven up productivity and corporate profits have grown in triple digits since the beginning of this century.

Make no mistake - this whole 'treason machine', stochastic terror, the Dominionist Christian movement (the US needs to be a white Christian nation ruled by biblical precepts - think Christian Sharia Law), and the right wing propaganda apparatus ALL ORIGINATED AS A CORPORATE AND OLIGARCHIC STRATEGY SET FORTH IN LEWIS POWELL'S 1971 MANIFESTO, written at the request of the multinational corporate members of the US Chamber of Commerce.

What we are seeing here, and Rhodes is only a minor cog in a much bigger machine, is an oligarchic coup to end democracy so that the door is opened for increased wealth, and ever more transfer of wealth from the working classes to billionaire PARASITES.

As AOC says, every billionaire is a failure in policy.

[dchill]

33. Great post! 👍

[live love laugh]

25. Suppose they had. 😐

[Mr.Mystery]

28. At least, this MAGAt was honest about what they were doing

Unlike Cheetolini and his Party of Enablers.

Knowing that this is what the GOP stands for is astonishingly a positive for their turnout.

[TeamProg]

29. Insanity plea? Everybody knows there ain't no Sanity Clause ! n/t

[Hassler]

31. Enjoy the fine prison cuisine traitor Elmo.

[Walleye]

32. Yeah go ahead bring rifles maybe he can shoot his other eye out

[luvallpeeps]

39. Wouldn't hurt my feelings. N/T

[Scalded Nun]

34. I personally believe every person guilty of Jan 6 crimes,

domestic politically-related violence/terrorism needs to be at GITMO. We haven't closed the place...why not put it to good use.

[Marcuse]

35. GITMO is too nice and clean for them.

[The Jungle 1]

36. No guns or gunfire was trumps failure.

He wanted guns and death. Dead cops and dead protesters. Gunfire was his goal!
Then he could declare Martial Law! Lucky for us it did not work.

[tonekat]

37. May Karma take its full

..impact on Elmo the Fudd.

[luvallpeeps]

38. Look what his stupidity and meanness has brought him.

Now he’ll be a one eyed prisoner. I only hope he gets what he has coming. He has no business near a firearm of any sort. He’s proven how careless he is. Loser.

[LiberalFighter]

40. They seem to think only their people have firearms.

And they would be an easier target.

[Cha]

41. Here's the Actual Tweet if anyone wants to

to Retweet this fucking Stupid Asshole's last words..

Hope the Psycho rots in prison

TY & Glenn Kirscher! :candle

[jmowreader]

43. Mr. Rhodes...

Explain why this court should not re-charge you with the murders of Ashli Babbitt and Brian Sicknick and seek the death penalty.

[LuckyCharms]

46. No rifle for you, Mr. Rhodes. You could put an eye out.
