Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

I attacked the capital and all I got was this stupid conviction
He probably regrets nothing except getting caught
No additional time for running away is that normal?
No, the judge gave him way less than the recommended minimum. Like, seven years less.
HW Bush judge, iirc.
Note to self if I ever commit a crime wear a maga hat to court.
Maybe he ran out of time.
He was found six weeks later after he tried to “covertly return” to his home, prosecutors said.
Okay seriously how do you fake an overdose for 5 days in a hospital? They can do a tox screen and see if there is anything in your system.
"Worrell suffers from a rare form of lymphoma and said he was afraid the cancer treatment he’d get during a long prison sentence could allow the disease to kill him. He said he did take a number of pills just before he was recaptured and had opioids in his system.
“I acted out of severe mental anguish and very genuine fear for my life,” he said. “I am truly sorry and I hope you can find it in your heart to forgive me.”"
Had opioids in his system, suffers from an actual other medical condition, also probably a psych eval. That could easily take five days.
That is what I get for just reading the headline. I just can't read about these winey idiots anymore. That sounds like he was 72 hour hold. Once on a 72 hour hold it doesn't matter what happens you are staying the whole 72 hours.
My guess (and I am no doctor) is that they were such a heavy user that they could do what would be a lethal dose but had a high tolerance allowing them to fake the OD while every test would show their system packed.
Lolololol. So glad to see at least some of these people get some time for what they tried to do to this country.
