They had shirts made.

Don't let anyone gaslight you into thinking this was anything but a coup.

They literally built a gallows. Yet somehow say it was peaceful.

It's still funny to me that Mike Pence thought he had any chance in hell of getting elected. His party's base was chanting "hang Mike Pence" after building a gallows outside the building he was in, and his response was "I bet these people would vote for me."

Those are words of endearment! Hang Mike Pence means you want to hang out with him and absolutely nothing else.

Can you believe these guys used to call themselves the party of law and order?

[–] [email protected] 34 points 1 year ago

"Law and Order" has always been code for "use the police against minorities and labor movements".

[–] themeatbridge 12 points 1 year ago

Yes, because the words of a conservative don't mean anything. They don't believe that what they say or do or fight for is good. They believe that they themselves are good, and therefore whatever they say or do is good. That's conservativism, and it always has been.

Kelley, an anti-abortion activist

That is not a surprise to anyone.

So pro-life they're willing to kill for it

DOJ: Judge, we are requesting a sentence of 12 years for this defendant.

Judge: How does 17 months, with time served, sound?

[–] geogle 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I didn't see this in the story. Do you have a source? I read that they agreed to not more than 120 months (10 years).

[–] iBaz 10 points 1 year ago (2 children)

It’s not in the story, it’s a joke about how most of these J6 defendants have been getting really light sentences.

[–] geogle 12 points 1 year ago

Early cooperators do...they have a lot to work through, and getting low hanging and low value fruit to roll on the orchestrators is important

I'm not sure making up headlines is helping fight the type of misinformation that emboldens J6 and Q Anon supporters
