    I’m surprised the judge didn’t yank him back on that statement as proof that he lied to the court and give him a longer term

    They need the max sentence, every time. None of them are sorry; they’re just telling the judge what they think he wants to hear. They might as well not be sorry making license plates for a decade.

      they’re sorry they failed. Sorry they got caught, and sorry they’re being held accountable.

      what they’re not sorry about is trying to fucking overthrow the lawful government of this country. So yeah.

      The judge can call a hearing based on his actions, and re-sentence him. It’s already happened to at least one of these chucklefucks

              They’ve given the defendants of 1/6 every opportunity to receive minimal sentencing, often going well under what the prosecutors have asked for, foregoing reasonable enhancements, and every other leniency. Some have also walked due to biased judges. This is a popular criticism, it’s not exactly a fringe opinion.

                  Oh, well, pardon me! lol

                  These are primarily upper middle class individuals and their cases are political. We don’t see such leniency and bias employed with working class convictions. They are also defendants on the right - heck, many times the US simply assassinates people on the left before the can become defendants! However for a different comparison, we have seen terrorism charges actually wielded against eco-protestors in the US (unlike with Briggs).

                  I hope that is sufficient, because this is starting to feel like I’m being sea-lioned.

    I feel like immediately showing that you lied to the judge should allow for revising your sentence.

    ETA: It amuses me to think about this chud feeling like a badass with his act of defiance in the court room. Later, he has the “oh shit,” realization when he arrives at his cell.

    Could you fucking imagine going to prison for a decade because of that orange sack of shit? Treating politics as a religion is a complete mystery to me. Kinda like religion itself, but that’s another rathole.

      No I can’t but they can… they have been trained to fall down for him the way they would for ’ jesus’… it’s actually very scary… I grew up Christian… one thing they taught us, was to be prepared to be imprisoned or killed of Jesus, for our faith… But to wear it like a badge for the reward in heaven… They took the teaching and applied it to trump, their antichrist and that why you see people so desperately clinging to him… they literally do think he is a Jesus of sorts, and they are more than willing to die for him and got to prison… If given the chance they will burn the whole.world down for dominance and obedience… very scary things…

    So this smoothbrain has his ‘I am Spartacus’ moment, his 2.5 minutes of fame. As the endorphins wear off and he comes to terms to the fact that he ain’t seeing outside past the ‘yard’ for the next decade. Assuming the genpop doesn’t try to do him for shit and giggles

    Next year is gonna get real ugly, and I think it will all depend on who wins the Republican nomination.

    If Trump gets it, which is very likely, unless the Republican Party puts a moratorium on allowing convicted felons to represent their party in the presidential race, then Biden has a chance of winning re-election, since you’d hope that a good portion of the public would want to keep an insurrectionist out.

    DeSantis or Ramaswamy getting the nomination and effectively distancing themselves from Trump would mean Biden is in big trouble, unless Trump makes the bold move of running as an independent candidate and driving his most loyal supporters away from the Republican vote. And I think given how the Republican Party nearly got away with overthrowing the state and placing themselves in charge, America could be very close to a civil war or falling into a totalitarian dictatorship.

        From what I saw from the debate, Chris Christie is the dangerous one.

        He’s not running for POTUS in 2024, but 2028. He was merely trying to desensitize the smoothbrains to the sight of someone daring to criticize Dear Leader, to pave the way for later.

      Ramaswamy has a 0% chance of getting the nomination. He’s an Indian Hindu, he will never be the face of the GOP. I think he’s shooting to be Trump’s VP, that’s where he’s most dangerous. He’s very smart, smart enough to play suck-up to Trump, but pull Trump’s strings behind the scenes.

      DeSantis is a really long shot. He has a surge in popularity when it looked like he could deliver wins, but his war on Disney is failing badly and he has no charisma on stage, unlike Ramaswamy or Trump.

      Most likely outcome of the GOP primary is a Trump/Ramaswamy ticket. Trump is really just a figurehead for the trump cult to rally around, publicly using Ramaswamy to refute claims of racism or white nationalism, they’ll double down hard on claims that Democrats cheated on 2020, and Ramaswamy will wield much of the actual power behind the curtain.

    If I’m being generous, maybe that was his last ditch attempt to get Trump to give him a pardon. Of course that’s not going to play well with the parole board down the line, so probably not a smart play. Or he’s just a fucking moron. Yeah, probably that.
