    I am happy when crooked politicians go to prison, regardless of their party. And Trump is as crooked as any.

    I am not afraid of maga people who are angry that the crook they worship was found guilty.

      Uh, you should be, it could be the end of the country.

      Do you think the jan 6th rioters should be getting years in prison?

        Angry maga people aren’t going to be the end of this country, that’s just fear mongering.

        Yes, Jan 6 rioters should face the consequences of breaking the law. Depending on the actual conduct of each individual, that may be prison or it may just be a fine.

          I dont think you understand what could happen, what happens if tens of millions of people say the federal government is no longer legitamate, and they refuse to follow its rules and laws?

          About jan 6th people, did they deserve years in prison for going into a building and not doing any violent acts?

            I’m still not afraid of maga people.

            Tens of millions? How many people do you suppose have sent Trump $1 or more? It’s about 500K. The rest might vote for him, but they don’t even want to buy a red hat.

            And I’m supposed to believe that there exist 9.5 million people who don’t want to send Trump a single dollar - despite his multiple requests - but are willing risk their lives for him?

            The Jan 6 rioters deserve prison if that’s in the federal sentencing guidelines for their crimes. Rules are rules. Not everyone in prison is there for violent crime.

              I feel like you are not aware of how long of sentences people are getting for tresspassing. For example the shaman I think got 42 months for entering a building and acting like an idiot.

                Trespassing might have been the charge if Congress weren’t in session. It was.

                He pled guilty to obstruction of a federal proceeding, under 18 USC 1512.

                Max sentence is 20 years. So 41 months seems about right. Now that’s an example of “finding out”.

                  He pled guilty because he was going to get stream rolled. So you think its fair to get 41 months in prison for trespassing?

                    Trespassing is when you break into an empty federal building. What he did went way beyond trespassing. Like I said, the charge was obstruction of a federal proceeding and 41 months seems about right.

                    When government officials can’t do their job because of you, things get very serious very fast and feds don’t play around. Just ask Martha Stewart, formerly inmate #55170-054, who made the mistake of sending feds on a wild goose chase.
