Apparently her Holiness - St. Ashli The Divine - had a history of being a little more unhinged and violence-prone than some have been led to believe: Ashli Babbitt A Martyr? Her Past Tells A More Complex Story And while her cause of death was homicide, she wasn't "murdered" ... she was just...

And I'm here to tell ya: Irony is dead - you just murdered it. :tearsofjoy: Simple (single or small number of perps) vs. complex (>2500+ mob ... and that doesn't include other higher up that weren't part of the actual mob) That isn't what I've heard. Highly doubtful, given that both...

Well, ok. It may be somewhat speculative (that it was insurrection), but it's not as though there isn't some basis in fact to support that conclusion. At any rate, it seems to me that it's a far better path to go down, than engaging in some circular-reasoning circle-jerk like this: If it...

It's a safe bet to say that The Yam ... errr ... I mean leopard ... didn't change it's spots. Remember, we already know that Trump knew how bad COVID potentially was ... and chose to lie about it to the American people. It's also a safe bet to say that any support that he had for COVID...

Great article by Zoe Tillman of Buzzfeed which covers where things stand now, in terms of those who participated in the January 6th insurrection. It shows that - despite the bitter howls of protestation by some - in most cases, barring some mitigating factor, that the justice being meted out...

First, that presumes that all charges that will be laid, have been laid ... or even unsealed. That's clearly not the case ... as James Brooks of Tennessee whose case was only unsealed today - can attest. Further presumes that DOJ will charge something that might harder to prove and convict on...

Well, no. The actual history of it, is a bit more complicated than you suggest: How Donald Trump Became an Anti-Vaxxer Of course, I realize that the simplistic narrative that you suggest does serve a particular political agenda. :tearsofjoy:

Too early to really say ... but if I had to guess, I'd say net loss. One thing is for sure: it's already sparked an intra-party civil war within the Republican Party. I suspect his plans are fluid at this point. :tearsofjoy:

Watched the livestream of Attorney General Garland's address he gave today to the Department of Justice on the matter of January 6th 2021 and it was outstanding, set just the right tone: While many (on both sides) have been and are impatient for DOJ to take action, AG Garland correctly noted...

Fact. :tearsofjoy:

Quite possibly ... except for any peaceful parts which may have preceded events which occurred later. Just like the Jan 6th rally on the ellipse was peaceful ... but then later some folks from that decided they were gonna "STORM !!!"

Don't know who "they" is ... but if it was a riot (and not just a peaceful protest), it sure wasn't peaceful. :tearsofjoy:

Nope, it's correct. Certainly. Happens all the time. However, not participating in a riot doesn't necessarily mean that they didn't break other laws while at such a gathering. Well, just for everyone's edification, for the event in question, would you care to define the exact time when the...

Also House Minority Leader McCarthy apparently got an invite to sit down for an interview with the Jan. 6th Committee. :tearsofjoy:

Apparently former AG Barr got served with a summons today: Also apparently he wasn't too happy about it ... but neither was the judge who found Barr's DOJ's actions to be retaliatory: Michael Cohen had more to say about it ... but did wish our former AG a Happy New Year. Unfortunately, due...

Once upon a time in America, treasonous traitors who sought to violently rebel against their government and commit insurrection were given the gallows, a bullet, or were otherwise summarily executed for their crimes against the nation: No. It just requires looking at the actual facts...

Since it's a (conceivably) legitimate reason (not an excuse) - as acknowledged by Judge McFadden - clearly you don't have it. :tearsofjoy: Huh ? Nope, that is incorrect. Ok. But they weren't merely "non violent protesters" ... they were individuals who participated in a riot. Riots by...

Prosecutorial discretion isn't the same thing as prosecutorial bias. I'll provide some additional materials on that very shortly (linked below) so you can educate yourself further on the matter if you'd like. Trump-appointed DC Judge Trevor McFadden slaps down Jan 6'er David Lee Judd's claims...

Did you ever stop to consider that some of these rioters that grew out of the protests may have had their federal charges dropped because they were facing state charges instead ? It cuts both ways. Yes ... I'm sure everyone here is well aware of that obsession. :tearsofjoy: None that I'm...

I see you decided to rethink your initial response. Probably a wise move ... ;) :tearsofjoy: That's sure what they are claiming anyways ... right? Just a little "Whoopsies !" :tearsofjoy: Probably wouldn't have happened had they chosen to let the career prosecutors handle the case ...
