Ex-Proud Boys organizer sentenced to 17 years in prison for plot to keep Trump in power

[Arlette]

Yup. They were looking for a fight. Trump riled them up and sent them toward the capitol.

Then watched TV.

It was his last hail Mary. Pence wasn't on board and there was nothing else left. So he did it, sicced his MAGA scum on the Capitol.

The part that I find most scary isn't Trump. Its how even something as objectively criminal as attacking our capitol to overturn a lawful election, something we all saw.....has been morphed in the minds of the MAGA faithful into yet another conspiracy.

There's literally no crime they won't excuse. And with Trump calling for the termination of the constitution, demanding a THIRD term if reelected for a second, and committing to locking up his political opponents if re-elected, you can be sure MAGA will be on board for all of it.

MAGA is fundamentally incompatible with the US Constitution.

Nope...Schumer did no such thing.

Republicans Smearing Chuck Schumer With Kavanaugh Assassination Attempt

The context of the Democrat’s “threatening” speech is clearly nonviolent.

nymag.com

"The two Supreme Court Justices won't know what hit them"....Senator Schumer. Next thing you know the homes of Supreme Court Justices were surrounded by a mob and an assassin was headed for Justice Kav. A civilian would be behind bars but a democrat senator gets away with organizing a mob and encouraging an assassination attempt.

So..he caught a break, good for him~

A former organizer of the far-right Proud Boys extremist group was sentenced on Thursday to 17 years in prison for spearheading an attack on the U.S. Capitol to prevent the peaceful transfer of power from Donald Trump to Joe Biden after the 2020 presidential election.
Federal prosecutors had recommended a 33-year prison sentence for Joseph Biggs, who helped lead dozens of Proud Boys members and associates in marching to the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021. Biggs and other Proud Boys joined the mob that broke through police lines and forced lawmakers to flee, disrupting the joint session of Congress for certifying the electoral victory by Biden, a Democrat.

finally these sentences are beginning to fit the crimes. perhaps by the time they get to stone and flynn we can lock them up for life.

FRAMED.

Oh, he did all that shit, grifter.

This is why your ilk hate the courts with a fiery passion: they bring accountability for your lies.

"You can't do more than five or ten years these days for violent felonies"....................back that claim up with some evidence, please.

Those murderers sure wish that were true.

What law are you imagining that Flynn broke.

 

[Tumblin Tumbleweed]

He crossed a police line and got 17 years in prison? I suppose you are so blinded by political ideology that you actually think thats reasonable. How many cops were chased away by BLM rioters? How many police lines did ANTIFA cross? I dont remember anyone getting prison time for it, let alone getting 17 years.

Why do you insist on equating these events? They're not even close to the same. Take a day off from being a dumbass.

Its just generic whataboutry.

They don't deny that the Proud Boys were guilty or debate the evidence. They try to create imaginary equivalencies to cast themselves as victims.

Its the core of their ideology.

And a whole lot of stupid.

Indeed. But how else do they soothe the dissonance between their ravenous entitlement and the American people denying them the power they believe they are due?

Conspiracy is the only answer. They have to be victims. Even when the evidence overwhelmingly demonstrates their crimes.....they're still victims.

Why isn't Potatohead in prison for stealing the 2020 election and selling out his country to the Chinese to get rich? That is treason.

They like conspiracies. They move from one to the next. There is always a sinister force out to get em.

Yes, MAGA has no use for democracy because their policy objectives can't survive the American voter. They need minority rule

I'd say get a hobby. Like model trains. Then maybe they could live out their miserable fantasies on miniature fake towns.

Mr. Trump made narcissism acceptable. Even enviable. Maybe some broken people are into that shit, but definitely not me.

Of course they do. Look at the conspiracies laid out in their cobbled together Supreme Court filing, backed by red state after red state.

Its pseudo-legal gibberish. ANd they've long since moved on to completely different conspiracies.

The folly of conspiracy is boredom. It always needs novelty. So they constantly have to keep trying to one-up each other with more fanciful and spectacular accusations. Until the conspiracy collapses under the weight of its own bullshit.

Exactly as the Big Lie did.

Every victory the left has ever had has come through activist judges overturning the will of the people.

Or.....y'all just lose a lot. And have to blame someone for your failures.

Because personal responsibility is anathema to your ilk.

Bullshit prosecution using lawfare for political revenge.
