'There have to be consequences:' Judge ups sentences for Capitol rioters excerpt: "Four people died on the day of the violence, one shot dead by police and the other three of natural causes. A Capitol Police officer who had been attacked by protesters died the following day. Four police officers who took part in the defense of the Capitol later took their own lives. More than 100 police officers were injured. On Wednesday, Chutkan sentenced two cousins who breached the Capitol and took selfies while doing so to 45 days in jail. Prosecutors had asked Chutkan to sentence each of the defendants — Robert Bauer of Kentucky, and Edward Hemenway of Virginia — to 30 days in prison. A day earlier, Chutkan sentenced an unrelated defendant, Dona Sue Bissey of Indiana, to two weeks of incarceration. Prosecutors recommended Bissey, 52, serve probation, citing her early acceptance of responsibility and cooperation with law enforcement. Bissey's friend, Anna Morgan-Lloyd, avoided jail time after pleading guilty to the same crime, receiving a sentence of three years of probation from a different judge in June. Chutkan, a former public defender appointed to the federal judiciary by former President Barack Obama, last week sentenced another defendant who admitted to the misdemeanor charge, Matthew Mazzocco, to 45 days in prison."

The GOP raised record funds for candidates running for the House. Liberals still don't get it, that you cannot use the law to fight Kamikazes. A third of the damned country is flat out insane, while another third encourages them to trash out our government in every way imaginable. The only way to stop them is to encourage them to kill themselves faster, which is easy, and quite legal. The courts will inevitably get Donald Duck, but you cannot have a democracy run by the insane and Wall Street.
Modern science has yet to develop a scale for stupidity, but that hasn't stopped me. How stupid are they? So stupid you have to know Vaudeville comedy to fully comprehend the depths of their stupidity. They love Donald Duck, because Professional Wrestling and reality TV are educational for them.
OK, big whoop. Probably commuted to time served, really. Nobody's gotten much other than a slap on the wrist for anything here.
Jim Jordan Makes His Move to Be the Most Batshit Anti-Vaxxer of All excerpt" "Ohio Rep. Jim Jordan has seen Greg Abbott’s insane coronavirus vaccine mandate ban and raised the Texas governor seven more deadly diseases, tweeting that “Ohio should ban all vaccine mandates.” It’s disturbing but not surprising that when the Republican Party is having a race to the bottom, someone’s going to scrape it. It’s no surprise at all when that someone turns out to be Jordan, who thinks rolling up his shirt sleeves when the cameras are on marks him as Everyman, albeit one who’s been accused of turning a blind eye to sexual abuse during his former career as a wrestling coach at Ohio State University. It’s awfully quiet inside Jordan’s head, without the clanging from Republicans who are OK with every other vaccine but dead set against mandating this one to help stop the spread of a disease that’s still killing nearly 2,000 Americans a day for the simple reason that their base hates anything elites want, no matter how sensible or helpful. He’s resolved the dilemma by objecting to all of them."
https://www.washingtonpost.com/poli...001fc8-2cf0-11ec-baf4-d7a4e075eb90_story.html excerpt: "The House select committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol announced on Thursday that it will move to hold Stephen K. Bannon in criminal contempt for not complying with its subpoena. Chairman Bennie G. Thompson (D-Miss.) said the panel will meet Tuesday when the House returns to Washington to vote to adopt a contempt report. “The Select Committee will use every tool at its disposal to get the information it seeks, and witnesses who try to stonewall the Select Committee will not succeed,” Thompson said in a statement."
https://www.cnbc.com/2021/10/14/tru...n-lawsuit-over-protesters-assault-claims.html excerpt: "Former President Donald Trump is scheduled to be deposed next week in New York City for a lawsuit filed by protestors who allege they were “violently attacked” by his security guards on the sidewalk outside of Trump Tower in September 2015. Trump’s videotaped deposition on Monday morning will be held in Trump Tower itself, which is located on Fifth Avenue in Manhattan’s Midtown section. He will be questioned there by lawyers for the plaintiffs in the civil complaint, which is pending in Bronx Supreme Court."
Fort Bragg soldier arrested for his involvement in Trump's insurrection at the Capitol. Fort Bragg soldier arrested, charged for role in Jan. 6 Capitol riot excerpt: "Spc. James Phillip Mault, 29, is charged with several federal offenses to include assaulting, resisting or impeding certain officers using a dangerous weapon or inflicting bodily injury; disorderly conduct in a Capitol building; and civil disorder, according to a news release Wednesday from the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Washington, D.C."
I dunno if Bannon can hold up to that stiff finger waggling he'll get being in contempt. They'll probably suspend his library card.
The GOP voting Democrat in an attempt to stop GOP radicals. Anti-Trump Republicans endorsing vulnerable Democrats to prevent GOP takeover excerpt: "A group of anti-Trump Republicans on Thursday endorsed a slate of Democrats and centrist Republicans in the 2022 midterm elections to fight against former President Trump’s hold on the party. The Renew America Movement (RAM) announced it is backing a slew of lawmakers running for reelection. The group was founded by a group of moderates within the GOP after the Jan. 6 insurrection, which was fueled by Trump’s lies about the election being stolen in November. “There is an urgent effort by Republicans and former Republicans to stem the tide of anti-democratic and lie-based Republican leaders in congress before it’s too late,” RAM said in an announcement. “Today, Renew America announced its Renewer Watchlist. The Renewer Watchlist is comprised of Republicans, Democrats, and Independents who are working toward real electoral victories.”
