And all we have to show is a bunch of lowlifes with slap-on-the-wrist sentences. Biggest so far is what, 8 years? I remember 10 year sentences for 3 joints.
They come out of prison martyrs and make a fortune touring, like Rittenhouse or Zimmerman, set for life.
IT ONLY TOOK 4 YEARS TO DEFEAT THE CONFEDERACY. On the battlefield, that is. They won the peace, and now they have Congress and a LOT of States. And they're just a few States away from rewriting the Constitution they love so much.
This is not a mafia drug operation investigation, or a Wall Street-crooked-company case. It's the biggest threat to the common good since Hitler.
THEY TRIED TO OVERTHROW THE GOVERNMENT IN A FASCIST COUP, AND ALMOST SUCCEEDED. The flag of the Covfeferacy, oops, Confederacy, flew in the Capitol. More than Bobbie Lee accomplished.
Nine people died from that day. Hundreds more had life-changing trauma. And hardly anything has changed.
This was a far bigger event than 9/11. Not as immediately lethal, but with far greater systemic threat. So we up-ended our daily lives to accommodate universal surveillance for that, and passed a zillion laws.
And the govt is still full of Covfeferate moles stirring up shit, like Trump's Wray and DeJoy. And now the Covfeferates have the House without firing a shot, and we think it a major victory because they only won by a little. We have fun making up silly names and laughing at how clownish they are, but guess what -- they have the power now.
This is pathetic. We're satisfied with a little wink and nod. Germany didn't fuck around, they put their coup-coups in jail before they made an assault. But we now have Nazis running Congressional committees, and with jobs in the Secret Service and FBI. And running for President.
