Hey guys ......... time to grow up and ignore each other. Little of note has happened here on politics. Standard form; 1) Article from liberal news source. 2) Yeah that's really bad. 3) Just like Trump or Trumpist. 4) Rinse, blather, repeat. Bob is an old school baiting troll. "You are, you do, you think." I laugh when I read his posts. I'll do you the favor and stop leading him on. 1) You don't laugh. 2) You'd stop if you could, but we both know you can't.

Yes, it's absolutely time to knock it off instead of *constantly* subjecting the rest of us to your extremely childish picking at one another.
I have no problem getting rid of both of you if you can't respond to one another as adults instead of 2 yr olds.
Am I clear?

Crystal. Bob, some wars are best fought differently, and this is one. PM me. And If you or anyone finds in print the book "Thick Face, Black Heart" please let me know. I want a copy.

Anna Morgan-Lloyd is the first to be charged for Jan 6. She is charged with trespassing from spending 10 minutes in the Capitol. No jail time, $500 toward repairing the damage, three years of probation, and 40 hours of community service. Article in on CNN.
ETA... NBC News is reporting 120 hours of community service.

I think a couple of them might have pleaded guilty already. High time they started getting these cases into a courtroom. Most of the cases are for trespassing, hard to refute when 'there you are' on video. I'm guessing most will be convicted as charged, as the video evidence is quite compelling.

Why Garland and DOJ haven't charged anyone with sedition for the US Capitol riotsCurrent and former Justice officials say there aren't many prosecutors who have even brought sedition-related cases. Instead, they say, the FBI and prosecutors are better off building conspiracy cases, where the law is clearer, and using cooperators to build the complex prosecutions in order to have better chances of success. Lawyers being lawyers in a lawyer's world.

Quote; She said she has spent her entire life in a "very small town" in southern Indiana, which gave her a "sheltered life" that made her out of touch with "what life is like for others in our country." She claimed she had gone through a political transformation after her attorney urged her to learn about racial inequality by reading books and watching movies. www.cnn.com

She claimed she had gone through a political transformation after her attorney urged her to learn about racial inequality by reading books and watching movies. www.cnn.comyeah I read what she said but I don’t think she’s sincere, just saying what her attorney said would help her get out of jail time. DH was a parole officer at one point, years ago, and he said he felt sorry for Jesus, who must spend all his time in jail, based on the number of people who claimed the found him in prison. I expect most of the Jan 6th people will get similar types of penalties for being participants. FBI is really interested in the organizers. Sniffing around Alex Jones and Roger Stone for their actions leading up to January 6th. Those would be some nice big fish to hook.

I would like to see four year terms of probation to get us through January 2025.

According to Newsweek, she read three books (at least) and saw "Schindler's List". She also did a book and a movie report as evidence for the judge. I think/hope she was speaking from the heart and that she brings the lessons she learned to her friends and family. She has a chance to expand the minds of her kids and grandkids.

Reading a few books and watching a movie, but returning to her same social group and life - her transformation probably will expire fairly quickly. We are all products of our environment. She won't be able to resist it for long.

Sometimes I would be there when new recruits would be arriving from all over the U.S. Tiny town/rural naive was mostly what you would see.

I would like to see four year terms of probation to get us through January 2025. I'd like to see felony charges. These are the people that are against felons getting their right to vote back - might as well teach em a few lessons in one fell swoop.

The death of Ashli Babbitt offers the purest distillation of Donald Trump’s view of justiceThe night of May 29, 2020, was a frightening one for President Donald Trump. The killing of George Floyd by a Minneapolis police officer had spawned massive protests throughout the country, including on the streets of Washington. Concerned about the unrest, the president’s protective detail moved him into a bunker inside the White House, a precautionary measure that Trump would later claim involved nothing more than a tour. (This was not true.) Always seeking to project strength, Trump the next morning presented the situation as though he was a conquering general. "Great job last night at the White House by the [Secret Service],” he wrote on Twitter. “ … I was inside, watched every move, and couldn’t have felt more safe.” He praised agents for letting the protesters “scream & rant,” noting that if any “got too frisky or out of line, [agents] would quickly come down on them, hard — didn’t know what hit them." “[N]obody came close to breaching the fence” outside the White House, Trump added. “If they had they would have been greeted with the most vicious dogs, and most ominous weapons, I have ever seen. That’s when people would have been really badly hurt, at least.” Seven months later, a very different crowd of protesters threatened the seat of the legislative branch of government. Pro-Trump rioters not only breached the fence outside the Capitol on Jan. 6, but also made their way inside the building through smashed windows and forced-open doors. Scores of them used improvised weapons and fists to batter and repel law enforcement officers. At times, the crowd chanted explicitly for violence against lawmakers — Democratic leaders, Vice President Mike Pence. And, at times, parts of the mob got perilously close to those officials themselves. One such group found its way to a doorway at the end of a hallway connected to the House chamber. That hallway was an escape route for legislators in the room, some of whom spied the rioters through the glass windows that formed part of the imperfect barrier keeping them safe. When those windows were briefly left unguarded, the rioters smashed them, providing an opportunity for one, a woman named Ashli Babbitt, to try to enter the hallway. A law enforcement officer defending the space fired a shot, striking Babbitt. She later died. One of the grimly fascinating aspects of the Jan. 6 riot is how it exposed the boundaries of right-wing support for police. Those officers tasked with defending the building were attacked; an effort to recognize their service was later opposed by some of the House’s furthest-right members. The man who shot Babbitt has become a target of fury as Babbitt has increasingly been cast as something of a martyr for the day’s cause. Because that cause was Trumpism, Trump himself has spoken of Babbitt more and more often. At a rally in Florida over the weekend, he demanded to make public the name of the person who had fired the bullet. “People know the name. People know where he came from,” he said. “Now if that were on the other side” — meaning, not on Trump’s side — “the person who did the shooting would be strung up and hung.” Complete article here: link

~ moon/admin The point of the conversation was what was going to happen with this down the road in regards to these cases. Bob Ross reference to 'finale'. Is the fact that the lengthening time frame is proving me to be correct, now going to be labeled as trolling/bullshit by you and post removed ? What is trolling/bullshit about cases in play in regards to Jan 6 ? This is now 'down the road'. As in his reply #271, we're moving right along.

It was an old, dead thread. And now it's an old, dead, LOCKED thread, all because *you* wanted to start another argument with someone you need to just block. And Bob needs to block you as well because you both act like 2 year olds around each other.
