Sick fuck Slobfathers lawyer today where he admitted that Jan6 was shameful, etc., etc. Ari showed it and was discussing it. It was one hell of a confession. All he did not do was call it an insurrection. Slobby must be pelting ketchup about now.
Would love to hear from all the ReTHUG leaders and their Cable TV tools who called it a tour.

(296,866 posts)An attorney for former President Donald Trump argued Thursday before the US Supreme Court that the January 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol was just "a riot" during a tense back-and-forth with one of the high court's liberal justices over what constitutes an "insurrection."
"Why would this not be an insurrection?" Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson asked the lawyer, Jonathan Mitchell, as the nine justices of the Supreme Court were hearing oral arguments in a landmark case over whether Trump the GOP frontrunner could remain on Colorado's primary ballot ahead of the 2024
"None of these criteria were met. This was a riot. It was not an insurrection," Mitchell said, adding: "The events were shameful, criminal, violent, all of those things, but did not qualify as an insurrection as that term is used in Section 3" of the 14th Amendment.

The events were shameful, criminal, violent all of those things but did not qualify as insurrection as that term is used in Section 3, Mitchell added, referring to Article 14, Section 3 of the Constitution, which bars those who have engaged in insurrection from holding office.

Trump: I think it was an insurrection caused by Nancy Pelosi.
Alright, thats a wrap. He said it was an insurrection, kick him off the ballot.
You know, I love dumb criminal stories. I just dont think dumb criminals should hold political office or have a cult following.
