Indeed. Hanging traitors is what our non-fascist nation (according to everyone but minorities, at least) was built on. Give me liberty or give me death, or something like that? Or is it only kosher to execute folks who commit crimes YOU feel are execution worthy?

They single-handedly set back minorities (and some poor whites who were less MAGA and more so just happened to be living in communities of color) in that area of PA for literal generations. I say that with absolutely no hyperbole.

William Tecumseh Sherman. That is all...........................

Of all the scum in Trump’s orbit, not just from 2016 to now but for their lives as a whole, Rudy G has to the most despicable to me. His 9/11 coattail riding ass was scum well before he shot in to the national spotlight due to a tragedy he milked; I know five to seven people personally, 2 of whom are direct blood…

At this point there isn’t a second motivation behind the prison system. Profits over everything, society be damned. I lived in PA during the School to Prison pipeline scandal and I’ve never been more angry.

Hoping I’m wrong but I fear if this jerkoff’s case plays out the way I think it will, it will be a precursor for the pending cases against the Capitol insurrectionists. I believe Rittenhouse’s charges are state while majority or all charges from the insurrection will be federal (correct me if that’s wrong?), but the…

The reality should be, try and ultimately execute the traitors in our government who aided (and probably helped plan, minus the probably it’s seeming) in the insurrection. End of story.

I’m sitting here picturing Obama being responsible for even 25% of the madness that went down at the Capitol during such an important…

Hey, now. Providence has..... that big blue bug thing right off 95? lol

LOL you giving me flashbacks to me catching a little too much sass and paying the price via wooden spoons from mom/aunts or the extension cord from nana.

I know. I was watching the news when they reported flags at the WH were still at full staff, then next thing I read said he’d lowered it. I knew immediately that was someone else’s doing.

Oh you are 100% correct. I don’t think this is the end either- in fact I don’t think I could tell you how low Trump and his idiot followers will go because I’m not sure there’s a “floor” to use as a frame of reference.

Nothing that a good ass whooping won’t fix. One day when she thinks she’s cute she’ll cross the wrong one and will pay the price for it. Until then she will continue having this smug attitude, which is always funny from a mediocre/basic person.

I’m more annoyed by the pundits and politicians who didn’t see this, exactly this, as the logical conclusion to Trump’s reign of terror and idiocy. WHAT THE FUCK DID YOU ASSHOLES EXPECT is the only question that matters.

Good call. Effective politicians know how to do exactly this- look ahead on issues (issues which, frankly, aren’t hard to see how they’ll play out a lot of times) and be on the right side of them, preemptively. As a former prosecutor it doesn’t surprise me she was on it like she was, as I know attention to details…

Hey thanks for that, I appreciate it. I felt super behind on all the updates most of the day and am just now trying to sort it all out. Here’s hoping, as James Madison’s boner so perfectly pointed out, there are some felony murder charges handed down against the idiots who thought this insurrection was a patriotic…

This is an absolute fact and thus my question was redundant. As someone else pointed out, the reason the LEO presence at the riot was so light is because the LEOs were rioting.

Greatly appreciate the details, I’ve been scrambling to get some actual work done today and haven’t caught enough reports. Thank you for doing what you do on this site.

Lol I just said the exact same thing. I was all prepared to go through today completely miserable.... instead I’m on this weird emotional roller coaster where I’m beyond excited about the Senate majority but legit worried about what will happen next with the MAGA crowd. One thing none of us should forget, regardless…

Nice set up, nice ending. All around enjoyable content there, IlliniMike.

I believe Brittany had herself one hell of a thread here, Roo. I was reading and clapping along. All facts.
