One guy yesterday actually posted that he did not understand why the FBI contacted him.

And you stormed the Capitol because it is a revolution.

That should go over well in court.

I know they could be just trying to wrap things up before Jan. 20 in order to limit damage to the cause. That's how insane things are -- that I actually would even suspect that. Geezuz!

Thousands should be charged, most of which receive jail time, and a lot of which receive LONG jail time, for the assholes who sacked our capital building.

Their goal should be to find a way to charge every last single mother fucker who broke into it.

NO SUCH thing going forward with ignoring congressional subpoenas this time. We NEED, we BEG top democrats to actively discuss the application of the Sedition Act in a REAL FUCKING WAY and refer to cleaning up GOP politicians who encourage the coup attempt
