That’s nearly three hours more than some others would get.

It’s never the crime, it’s the cover-up that gets 'em

Since he doesn’t want to wear a mask, he should have no problem with being held in a facility with multiple active cases of Covid.

The office said that Bundy laid down on the ground and refused to move.

Now, where have we seen that before?

Oh yeah…

Bundy … is representing himself in his criminal case.

It’s sad to think what the cops would have done if those protesters were Black.

This man should have been arrested and tried years ago, and if he was black that would have happened pronto!

Hey, Ammon! Fat Bastard isn’t President anymore and Bill Barr isn’t Attorney General.

And he’s representing himself. Oh, joy of joys! Oh, dream of dreams! (H/T: Franz Liebkind, “The Producers”)

It’s funny, despite all of the publicity, I still don’t understand what Bundy stands for other than the stupidity of Ammon Bundy.

If he were black, well, something would have happened - something extrajudicial perhaps.

Well, we wouldn’t want to prevent him from the company of his fellow non-mask wearing COVID deniers, now, would we?

Put him in a three piece suit, then strap a hannibal lechter type mask across his face. Problem solved.

He stands for Mormon cows grazing for free on taxpayer-funded public lands.

You can tell which cows are Mormon. They’re the ones wearing Magic Underwear.

Thanks for clearing that up - I thought it was something irrational.

Let me get this straight - he was arrested for refusing to wear a mask at his trial related to protesting mask wearing?

If he keeps this up, maybe he will be sucked into a wormhole or something, which is probably the only way we will ever be rid of him.
