The 1st Amendment gives him the right to wear that sweatshirt, and since he didn't fight with police officers he'll likely only receive a 6 month sentence. Although it might not be wise to wear that shirt on his next visit to Israel ..lol.. Camp Auschwitz' shirt Capitol rioter pleads guilty An intruder who was seen wearing a "Camp Auschwitz" sweatshirt during the US Capitol riot last year has pleaded guilty to storming the building. Robert Packer's shirt referred to the Nazi death camp where more than 1.1m people, mostly Jews, were murdered during World War Two. On Wednesday he admitted to parading, demonstrating or picketing in the Capitol - a misdemeanor charge. Packer, 57, now faces up to six months in jail when he is sentenced in April.
Trump's remarks about taking the Fifth. Did Trump Say 'If You're Innocent, Why Are You Taking the 5th Amendment?'
Germany, Apart excerpt: "Trump’s European policy is hardly the only reason that the pipeline exists. Discussions about it began before he was president, reflecting decades of close ties between Germany and Russia, as Katrin notes. But Trump’s foreign policy diminished American influence in Europe — and, if anything, sent signals that the U.S. favored closer ties between Russia and Western Europe. Leaders across much of Eastern Europe are not happy about these developments. Ukraine’s foreign minister has accused Berlin of effectively “encouraging” Russian aggression. A senior Lithuanian official said that Germany was “making a big strategic mistake and putting its reputation at risk.” Putin, on the other hand, seems thrilled. He has embarked on a campaign to weaken democracies and strengthen autocracies, both in his own region (as in Ukraine, Kazakhstan and Belarus) and elsewhere (through election misinformation campaigns in the U.S. and Western Europe). Despite this aggression, NATO is not unified in confronting him, giving Putin more leeway to act as he chooses. “He well recognizes that Europe’s main power base is France, Germany and Britain,” Tobias Ellwood, a member of Britain’s Parliament who helps set military policy, told The Washington Post. “If these three countries are united, the rest of Europe follows. If you can sow divisions among these three, then there’s no leadership, there’s no coordination and there’s no unity.” The divisions even extend to internal U.S. politics. This week, Tom Malinowski, a Democrat who represents New Jersey in the House, tweeted: “My office is now getting calls from folks who say they watch Tucker Carlson and are upset that we’re not siding with Russia in its threats to invade Ukraine, and who want me to support Russia’s ‘reasonable’ positions.”"
There is a witness who is telling Gaetz knew the girl was underage. Trump is going to need a new congress-person.
Judge orders Eastman to speed effort to get documents to Jan. 6 committee - POLITICO excerpt: A federal judge is ramping up pressure on attorney John Eastman — a central ally in Donald Trump’s effort to subvert the election on Jan. 6, 2021 — to begin producing thousands of pages of records to congressional investigators. Judge David Carter, who already sharply rejected Eastman’s attempt to block the Jan. 6 select committee’s subpoena for 19,000 pages of emails held by his former employer Chapman University, issued a detailed plan Wednesday to help speed the process along.
Oath Keepers founder is ordered detained pending trial in Jan. 6 riot - POLITICO excerpt: "A federal magistrate judge has rejected a bid for pretrial release by the founder of a right-wing militia group facing the rare charge of seditious conspiracy for allegedly orchestrating an attack on the Capitol during the certification of the presidential election results last January. The ruling Wednesday means Oath Keepers leader Stewart Rhodes, 56, will remain in custody as his lawyers appeal to a federal judge in Washington overseeing the case against Rhodes and 10 other members of his group. After a hearing on Monday in Plano, Texas, where an FBI agent testified about the results of the investigation into Rhodes and his associates, U.S. Magistrate Judge Kimberly Priest Johnson concluded that the disbarred Yale Law School graduate and Army veteran posed too great a threat to be allowed to go free pending his trial."
Oath Keepers leader will remain jailed on Capitol riot sedition charges after judge rules him a flight risk, citing testimony that he built 'escape tunnels' in his backyard excerpt: "The leader of the far-right Oath Keepers group will remain jailed on seditious conspiracy charges connected to the January 6 Capitol attack after a judge ruled him a flight risk, partially due to his estranged wife's testimony that he maintained elaborate escape tunnels in his backyard."

Because Manchin is actually a Republican .......... disguised as a Democrat. Same with Sinema. Manchin got campaign money from a REPUBLICAN BILLIONAIRE, Ken Langhone (sp.?) after he said he'd vote to kill the voting rights bill. Manchin and Sinema are BOUGHT & PAID FOR by rich REPUBLICAN DONORS.
https://www.kansascity.com/news/state/missouri/article257763628.html excerpt: "A former Missouri Christian school teacher and her husband who said former President Donald Trump and the crowd contributed to the environment that led to the Capitol riot were sentenced Thursday to home detention and two years’ probation. U.S. District Judge Amit Mehta sentenced Zachary Wilson to 45 days of home detention and Kelsey Wilson to 30 days, along with 60 hours of community service. They also must each pay $500 in restitution for damage done to the Capitol during the insurrection, which prosecutors say totaled $1.5 million. “It’s hard to avoid getting on a soap box in these cases, and I’m trying to resist doing that,” Mehta said. “But I don’t think it would be appropriate to at least not let any sentencing pass without reflecting on the magnitude of what occurred on January the sixth and how you all contributed to it.”"
God will hold responsible those who don't care about their fellow mankind by refusing proven vaccines. Spreading Covid by not taking vaccines & ignoring infectious disease experts' advice is demonstrating indifference toward one's fellow man / woman. Indifference toward others is a SIN. In the Bible, God taught the Israelites that isolating lepers, and even instructing the lepers themselves - to stay away from other healthy people - labelling themselves "unclean." So for all the so-called "Christians" out there ........ are you saying God is wrong???
Nah, they're just showing that their stupid is hanging out.... In fact, I have an anti vax colleague and her husband that just came down with covid this week. Guess what, they're pretty sick.....and they both are professional people with Masters Degrees.
Russia has sown seeds of division anywhere and everywhere. Russia has hacked into communication systems worldwide and has some poorly-educated Americans into believing our elections are rigged and tampered with. Russia has ALWAYS sought to undermine democracies wherever they exist, and to promote autocratic dictatorships. Putin is just another Russian dictator in a long line who want to destroy freedom and democracy. And T**** couldn't praise Putin enough .......... along with Xi Jinping and Kim Jung Un. And some people here in the U.S. S-T-I-L-L support T**** !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! If they like living under a dictator - move your silly ass to Russia, China, or North Korea ------ and stay there.
