Prosecutors seek longest Jan. 6 sentence yet for rioter who assaulted police in Capitol tunnel excerpt: "“Defendant’s repeated violent assaults on law enforcement for the purpose of overturning a democratic election warrant a significant term of imprisonment,” Assistant U.S. Attorney Robert Juman wrote in the 39-page sentencing memo. Palmer, who pleaded guilty on Oct. 4, would be the first assailant sentenced for participating in the Lower West Tunnel violence, where police battled rioters for more than two hours and some of the most harrowing scenes of violence occurred. The clash there included the beating and tasing of Washington Metropolitan Police Officer Michael Fanone and the crushing of Metropolitan Police Officer Daniel Hodges in a Capitol doorway. Both episodes have become part of iconic and disturbing images of that day. The Justice Department called for a 63-month sentence for Palmer, which prosecutors noted was on the lower end of the recommended range based on the details of his crime. The primary reason for that decision was that Palmer was one of the few felony defendants to plead guilty early and cooperate with law enforcement."
Trump rioter from MI arrested. Michigan man charged with spraying cops in Jan. 6 US Capitol riot excerpt: "Eleven months after the deadly U.S. Capitol riot, a Romeo man was charged in federal court Wednesday with spraying police officers with a chemical during the historic Jan. 6 takeover and then bragging about it on Facebook. “That was wild.

To make sure Biden’s doesn’t become president.” Five people died and dozens more were injured in the melee, which involved scores of Donald Trump supporters who chanted "stop the steal" as they stormed the Capitol to stop Congress from certifying the presidential election results declaring Joe Biden the winner."

Chris Christie: 'Undeniable' that Trump gave me Covid last year New Day December 10, 2021 Chris Christie: 'Undeniable' that Trump gave me Covid last year - CNN Video excerpt: "In a PBS interview, Republican former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, who spent a week in the ICU with Covid in 2020, says that then-President Donald Trump gave him Covid-19 during debate preparation sessions where six-out-of-seven people involved were later diagnosed."
People support someone as toxic as Trump and yet seem dismayed when they are damaged by him. Christie contracted COVID. Cohen was sentenced to prison. Cohen, in particular. He has done lengthy interviews describing how Trump was a crook while working for him for a decade. Cohen defended Trump initially by lying to investigators, which earned him a prison sentence. It raises the question as to why such people are even bothering to hang out with someone as toxic as Trump while fully knowing the sliminess of him.
GOP infighting in NC is expected to increase. Trump is adding to the chaos. A court ruling extended the 2022 GOP primary by ten weeks into May. It gives even more time for GOP candidates to fight with each other. Trump wants Walker out of the NC U.S. Senate race so that he can promote his favorite, Budd, but Walker hasn't dropped out. https://www.usnews.com/news/politic...-primary-intensifies-as-campaigns-go-negative excerpt: "Doug Heye, a longtime GOP advisor who is not working for any of the three top Republican Senate campaigns, said the extended period for GOP candidates to fight among themselves "clearly doesn't help.” “These things usually do not help and it's very rare that they do," said Heye, a former communications director for the Republican National Committee and Burr’s successful 2004 campaign. "If you're a party official, you never want to see your own side fighting. You want to see the other side in disarray." Michael Bitzer, a Catwaba College politics professor who analyzes voting trends, said the extra two months in the primary cycle will not have a substantial effect on the number of primary voters who turn out, but could negatively affect candidates who are poor campaigners. He believes Republican primary voters fall into two camps: Trump loyalists and conservatives who don't align themselves with the former president. Bitzer thinks staunch Trump supporters presently represent a greater share of the primary electorate. Regardless of who wins, though, he believes, voters are likely to rally around the eventual nominee expected to face either former state Supreme Court Chief Justice Cheri Beasley or state Sen. Jeff Jackson, the two leading Democrats. “What Democrats would love to see is a midterm election on Donald Trump, and if his candidate (Budd) is the nominee, that’s gonna make that connection so much more apparent," Bitzer said."

He has been locked up since he pleaded guilty in October to assaulting, resisting or impeding certain officers using a dangerous weapon, inflicting bodily injury. Judge Tanya Chutkan will sentence Palmer, who committed his assault on officers while wearing a red “Florida for Trump” hat, on Dec. 17. In a sentencing memo Friday, federal prosecutors sought 63 months behind bars.

A turd is a turd is a turd is a turd - no matter what color shirt it's wearing.
