  1. What’s the point? So they serve community service to bridge the unemployment gap for a week an inconvenience future vacations?

  2. “Now go, attack the Amalekites and totally destroy all that belongs to them. Do not spare them; put to death men and women, children and infants, cattle and sheep, camels and donkeys.”

    (1 Samuel 15:3)

  3. No, they are only soft on their fellow GQP criminals who openly commit violent crimes. The rest can be jailed with any perceived, alleged crimes.

    1. @N 827 👈 Fails to see the irony in trying to convince people who he obviously knows voted for Joe Biden, that nobody voted for Joe Biden. smh

  4. Ultimate hypocrisy but that’s what the party is about. No regulation unless it’s about their morality. States rights only if they agree with the measure. It’s the same thing over and over.

  5. NONE OF THESE INSURRECTIONISTS DESERVE PROBATION, THEY SHOULD BE IMPRISONED FOR WHAT THEY DID AND INTENDED TO DO

    1. @Ralph Sims that would be you then because here you are on MSM. Also, he was literally pushing fake stories.

    2. Another bawdy trump cultist pointing a finger on someone else , the seditious pro-trump mob is nothing more than white supremacy and racism. Absolutely, prison time is appropriate for all the losers who participated on 1/6.

  6. charge those who incited & funded 1/6 just like Bin Laden for 9/11 🤷🏼‍♀️ no double standards

    1. Osama Bin Laden and his closest advisors were taken down in HIS HOME courtesy of Obama, Admiral McRaven, and Seal Team Six…. On another note, Saddam Hussein was cornered hiding in a trench underground and subsequently taken to court for war crimes – and those against his own people. He was found guilty on all counts and hung.. His sons { both perpetrators of crimes against their own people } would be mown down in a firefight by US special forces…. death by lead poisoning.

    1. BLM and Antifa caused over $2billion in damages and over 25 citizens were killed during the 2020 riots, all while being supported by Democrat leaders, Democrat district attorney’s and celebrity shills.

    2. @Conservative Interrupted Money is fiat, lives aren’t. Well, they are, but we pretend they aren’t.

  7. “ You were right, WE DID IT!” Jade Sacker says to John Earle Sullivan while he videos BLM/ANTIFA commit the 1/6 insurrection.

    1. They weren’t unarmed. They had bear spray, stun guns, they used flagpoles, fire extinguishers, they crushed police in doors…….. They had bombs planted so they could access them, they brought and erected a gallows to hang Mike pence…. They urinated and deficated inside the capitol.. Carried Confederate flags…. Wore the symbols of hate and racism… Had zip tie hand cuffs terrorized both gop and Dems although most of the gop is too f’n cowardly to admit it now. No they didn’t have guns let’s hope they won’t if they try again.

  8. Most of the Republicans in the U.S. Congress are strong on crime … until the DOJ starts to point fingers at the Republicans.

  9. Bring the criminals to justice, especially trump. Americans are so sick of hearing about trump. Just lock him and his minions, so we dont have to hear about him or his flunkies.

  10. Oh Cmon it wasn’t an insurrection. It was a tour. Reminded me of my tour of the smithsonian lost four tour guides that day. Good times

    1. Here’s the difference. The protest of last summer were about police brutality. Jan 6 th was about overthrowing democracy. Not quite the same thing sweetness
