DOJ Attorneys: Trump’s Mob Intended To ‘Capture And Assassinate’ Elected Officials | Talking Points Memo

Perhaps if he and his dumb coterie were told that, should that be possible, Nancy Pelosi would be the interim president?

I have argued in favor of pre-trial release for at least a couple of these assholes. The note to Pence puts this one over the edge. He can rot.

It’s only because they have been told this repeatedly for now two months. They have been brainwashed into this.

I’ve recounted a story here of a former colleague who hold a degree in chemical engineering - someone who should be relying upon facts as a part of her job - insisting that there was all this evidence, but she couldn’t produce it and was certain that the truth would eventually come out of all this voter fraud in November.

A science-based degree working in a chemical industry and she’s put aside needing hard evidence to prove a theory because of her political leanings.

That’s what we’re dealing with here, besides the garden-variety morons.

Still waiting to hear about the Capitol tours lead the day before by some GOPers. Bet they’ll be scared to announce it.

And, yeah, good they got this guy, but he was just a show piece, there were plenty of others in the shadows that need to be found.

The legal defense being advanced by the QAnon Shaman guy’s lawyers is he didn’t unlawfully enter the Capitol because he was invited by Donald J. Trump. Get your head around that one, He is throwing Trump under the bus.

I hear what you’re saying, but the fact is that lying is covered free speech, with notable exceptions (contracts, legal docs, etc.). If it weren’t, most advertising firms would be quickly out of business.

What should be true is that there are consequences to lying and you should be held legally and civilly accountable for the consequences of your lying.

Chemical engineering is not a field for lightweights. If I recall right, after taking an aptitude test long ago, they said it was the most difficult engineering field to get into.

Sadly, confirmation-bias and cognitive-dissonance are a crack /fentanyl hi-ball and actual facts are weaker than watery tea.

No, it’s because their personal lives are so meaningless that they have given themselves over to an authoritarian movement as a substitute for whatever they’re missing in their own lives. They’re not brainwashed. They’re a half step away from literal nihilism.

Sure, but it was never Trump’s house. Even Donald Trump, when he was President, didn’t get to go there unless Nancy Pelosi (or Mitch) invited him. Not that I expect this would have much legal impact, but it’s just as meaningful as that “defense.”

There has to be manifests somewhere that indicate who was on those tours and if they correlate at all with who they’ve already arrested or are looking for from the insurrection/invasion.

There can be no ignoring any Venn diagram that puts the tour list in the Capitol on the sixth.

Biden has more of a claim to the Capitol than Trump will ever have.

Boebert doth protest too much that she led no Capitol tours.
Of course, no one has actually accused her by name either.
Feeling some guilt, Lauren?

The negation is for the US and local government.
The party’s financiers probably dream of a day when their corporate entities can establish veritable fiefs in the lands they dominate. Kinda like the Gilded Age: company housing, company stores, company police, company judges and justice. But, you know, better: serfdom this time around.
