116. I think you know how it works.

People here have complained about people trying to overthrow the government not being held accountable. Are misdemeanors which affect nothing in life an example of being held accountable? As I have posted in the past I don't happen to think this was a serious attempt to overthrow anything. It was a riot led by loudmouths. So I personally have no problem with how the DOJ has handled this. But not viewing Jan 6 as an "overthrow" is a minority view which is not held by some of those defending DOJ actions. I find that odd.
