So… the Oath Keepers and Proud Boys have now been found to have committed seditious conspiracy. How about the other Jan. 6 terrorist group - the III Percenters? Is their time in the barrel still to come?

Yes. And then the sob about “Blame the victim”

White rubber boots on the De Santis dwarf would’ve made a great image even better.

So THAT’S why Trump has no eyelashes. I thought that maybe he pulled them out to add to his hair weave.

You aren’t looking closely enough. Garland has failed in his duties. The Durham Report required oversight but Garland rubberstamped that BS.

He says a lot of things. In reality, TDFG only pardoned people that had something to trade.

Don’t forget the 3 year leash as well.
His life is screwed. Lesson served.

He’s already whining … It was Trump’s fault.

They must be burning their dissident generals and administrative higher-ups.

That’s less than the range the judge was initially indicating, but still a very strong sentence. I expect that within a very, very short time we’ll hear the loudest and most baseless “Truth” [sic] howls and squeals yet from Trump, as he sees a strong hint of what’s waiting in his own future.

It’s undergrowth (i.e.: justice is ‘supposed’ to be like Domino’s).
The pandemic should’ve killed this notion, but no such luck.

Dear Hubby said much the same thing.
Stewart has a future with the Aryan Brotherhood in which ever Fed pen he serves his time.

So is that it, or does Elmer also get sentenced on other charges (hoping for a consecutive sentence on something lesser to bring him back into the 22-25 year range).

That’s only if one gets prosecuted and sentenced for the violation - I’ve seen nothing of either, quite yet.
- We admitted we were powerless over alcohol—sorry, over Trump – that our lives had become unmanageable.
Start with that one, Stew.
- Came to believe that a power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity.
Then check out the Rule of Law. After that, only ten more steps to go. You’ll get there.
You have time.

Not enough time for what he did.

18 years is not the 25 years the Feds were asking for but it’s still a very significant sentence. It will have a deterrent effect for organized conspiracies for the '24 cycle, but the random, timed sleeper cell like attacks will continue and probably increase due to the heavy dose of fascist, replacement theory rhetoric emanating from Fox, talk radio and pols like Ron DeSantis and Gregg Abbott. To end the threat of sedition, of treason, Trump, Meadows and the leaders of the coup plot need to be charged, tried and convicted. While this is a significant conviction, the notion that Rhodes would’ve done any of this on this scale without Trump’s direction and coordination, actively, passively or stochastically strains credulity. More importantly, such a result (meaning Trump is not prosecuted and DOJ only goes as high as people like Rhodes) would essentially provide the roadmap for the next coup.

We’re still waiting for Trump and his inner circle to face consequences for J6, but keep on moving those goalposts around if it makes you feel better.
