Al Capone was a murderer and you said he'd get your vote if he supported the same issues. Its almost like shared beliefs don't actually provide absolution.

Do you recognize hyperbole or are you unable to pass up an opportunity to accuse whether real or not?

Do you recognize hyperbole or are you unable to pass up an opportunity to accuse whether real or not?

Hyperbole and real political positions are indistinguishable in this Poeian nightmare we inhabit, if you don't want the two mixed up best add a tag to the post.

A US Capitol Police officer has been suspended after anti-Semitic reading material was discovered near his work area on Sunday, according to a department spokesperson.

A printed copy of the Protocols of the Meetings of the Learned Elders of Zion was left on a table inside an entrance to a House building, according to photos obtained by the Post.

A federal judge on Tuesday ordered a New York man detained following his arrest last week on charges that he ripped the badge and radio from a D.C. police officer who was pulled into a crowd and beaten during the Jan. 6 Capitol riot.

Federal authorities say they identified a Montana man as one of the people who took part in the Jan. 6 riots at the U.S. Capitol after multiple videos showed him inside the Capitol Complex wearing a hat bearing the name of the firearms training school that he started in 2018. As a result, Andrew Cavanaugh, the owner and president of Tactical Citizen, LLC, is now facing a slew of federal charges.

Perhaps it comes as no surprise that this Capitol arrestee uses language that prevents me from posting the article.

From the complaint: When the defendant cut off Officer Z.B. from the line of MPD officers – who can be seen attempting to traverse the enormous crowd by holding onto each other’s jackets – this defendant violently shoved him and punched him in the face. As a former MMA fighter, the defendant was well aware of the injury he could have inflicted on Officer Z.B.

A rare 'reaction' post.

Former President George W. Bush said the January 6 US Capitol insurrection left him "sick to my stomach" and he remains "disturbed" when he thinks about it.

"I can't remember what I was doing, but ... I was sick to my stomach ... to see our nation's Capitol being stormed by hostile forces," Bush said in an interview with The Texas Tribune as part of the SXSW virtual festival that was recorded February 24 and made public Thursday.

"I am appalled by the reckless behavior of some political leaders since the election and by the lack of respect shown today for our institutions, our traditions, and our law enforcement," he said. "The violent assault on the Capitol -- and disruption of a constitutionally mandated meeting of Congress -- was undertaken by people whose passions have been inflamed by falsehoods and false hopes."

Asked directly during the interview whether the election was stolen, Bush replied: "No."

Bush had joined the three other living former US presidents in condemning the Capitol attack in its immediate aftermath, charging in a statement at the time: "This is how election results are disputed in a banana republic -- not our democratic republic."

May just say a sincere thank you to essentialsaltes for this sterling work. I have just read through the entire thread, having left off early in the proceedings.

Any pretence that what happened was some kind of antifascist activity has been thoroughly scotched. The FBI has got its teeth into this, and like a British bulldog, will never relax its jaws until the brute is brought down.

It was totally antifascist activity - they were stopping Biden's fascist plan of stealing the election and becoming a dictator![/sarcasm]

A former Army Special Forces soldier charged with a half-dozen crimes stemming from the Capitol riot threw a flagpole at a police officer like a spear and assaulted three other officers, according to the FBI and court documents.

Jeffrey McKellop, 55, who was arrested Wednesday, is among more than 30 veterans charged in the Jan. 6 incident but appears to be the first so far who served in Special Operations, according to service records analyzed by The Washington Post.

Clad in a helmet and tactical body armor, and wearing his own gas mask, McKellop was filmed pushing an officer, throwing a bottle at police and trying to wrestle away a can of riot-control spray from another officer, the FBI said.

In one moment, McKellop picked a flag off the ground and thrust it in the face of a D.C. police officer, then heaved the flagpole at the officer “similar in fashion to throwing a spear,” the FBI said. The officer suffered lacerations near his eye, investigators said.

Rep. Ruben Gallego, a Marine Corps combat veteran, is calling on Department of Veterans Affairs Secretary Denis McDonough and other top officials to strip benefits from active-duty service members, veterans and military retirees who took part in the deadly siege of the Capitol.

“Many of the veterans and service members who attacked their own government actively and enthusiastically enjoy special benefits given to them by their fellow citizens,” Gallego, D-Ariz., wrote to McDonough in a letter dated March 18.

“This situation is unjust. Any veteran or service member who stormed the Capitol on Jan. 6 forfeited their moral entitlement to privileged benefits at the expense of the people of the United States,” wrote Gallego, a member of the House Armed Services Committee.

Jennifer Marie Heinl, a Pennsylvania woman charged with taking part in violence at the Capitol on Jan. 6, is married to a cop who’s part of an FBI task force, WPXI reports. Records show that he filed for divorce a month after she participated in the riots.

Wisconsin man allegedly taunted Army reservists with an AR-15-style paintball gun after boasting of a plan to test the “loyalty” of the National Guard.

An AR-15-owning ▇▇▇▇▇ acolyte caught with armor-piercing bullets drove from Wisconsin to Washington, D.C. on March 3 and told U.S. Capitol Police officers that he was “maybe going to do something crazy stupid tomorrow”

Ian Alan Olson, who made the 800-mile trip in a 2016 Subaru festooned with ▇▇▇▇▇ slogans, told a soldier on duty outside the Capitol that he was going to “test the National Guard tomorrow to see if they were loyal to the people or to the President,” that he was “willing to die to fulfill this mission,” and that his “actions would unite eight billion people,” the complaint says.

If he ended up getting shot by the National Guard, Olson contended, he would know the Guard was loyal to President Joe Biden. If the National Guard didn’t shoot him, Olson claimed he would then know the Guard was loyal to the citizenry. He explained that he would be “taken over by the Spirit of Christ and lead the people to unity,” the complaint states, and that “things can only be resolved by the barrel end of a gun.” (As Jesus remarked so frequently)

In Olson’s case, Capitol Police determined he was a danger to himself and others, and admitted him to a D.C. psychiatric hospital. There, Olson was diagnosed with a “brief psychotic disorder,” and discharged on March 5, the complaint says.

Ten days later, Olson allegedly drove to an Army Reserve base in Pewaukee, Wisconsin, in his car, which had ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ spray painted across the doors, hood, roof, rear window, and bumpers.

Driving onto the base, Olson got out of the vehicle, shouted, “This is for America,” and fired an AR-15 style paintball gun at two uniformed reservists standing about 15 yards away, the filing states. After allegedly shooting “two to three” rounds at the soldiers, Olson’s paintball gun apparently jammed. At that point, the reservists—one of whom is described as a law enforcement officer in civilian life—tackled Olson and held him for police.

And this has shocked me in a lot of ways.

It's the tossing of the case without a single legitimate hearing.
What Trump has requested isn't ridiculous. Usually everyone gets their day in court.

If things were the other way around wouldn't you want your day?

I'm finding less and less truth in what we are being told by the media...

They show a picture of hundreds of thousands of people but then claim it's only hundreds...

Just saying...I'm doubting the allegations you have raised as being legitimate.

Haven't you ever heard of frivolous lawsuits? When there isn't a shred of evidence to support the lawsuits, the normal procedure is to toss it.
