So this means when we the mob storm the White House, Congress and Senate with torches and pitchforks (worked in Frankenstein) we can’t be charged? This is such great news. Sharpening my pitchfork and reinforcing my torch for a long night of fun
Terry...the dark humor lands...and the underlying logic is actually sound.
Law does not have a partisan setting.
The legal theory being established today...to protect the Proud Boys...applies equally to anyone who organizes a coordinated effort to storm a government building. Regardless of political affiliation.
The administration is betting that loyalist US Attorneys....will ensure the precedent only runs ONE direction.
History suggests that bet....RARELY holds permanently.
Keep the pitchfork sharp.
But...the ballot is still mightier...barely...and...considerably less legally complicated under current DOJ guidelines. :)
Completely agree. Would far rather have a DOJ and courts on the side of justice for all. But still keeping the pitchfork sharp and handy. Never know these days…
Jack, we must HOLDFAST for sure, more than ever. This news tells me, whether or not I am right, that the greatest storm is yet to come and that the current person has no intention of leaving, peacefully or otherwise, while using every believer of his lie, which he knows is a lie yet continues to promote, to do far more than was done on the infamous sixth of January.
No judge, no court, nobody in any capacity should ever let erasure of that horrific event and the crimes committed that day take place, should never allow such a precedent to be set, and it would seem that there must be some strong accountability held for anyone attempting such an erasure. If such a repeat were to happen with the erasure having taken place, legal hands would be tied with no stance of the past court proceeding to be upheld. This scenario cannot and must not take place.
To me this stunt with our court system seems to be one among a number of final steps in an unauthorized takeover of the country, of our Constitution, of our freedoms and rights and the government of, for and by the people. We ARE the people, and these courts are putting us and our government down if they allow such an erasure to pass.
Am I over-reacting or overlooking something? What can we do?
Actually, I just realized that I am reacting as though the erasure has not taken place, but I want any erasure reversed, permanently! I simply cannot believe this could happen in our country. “This is My Country,” and I say No! I was not asked.
The motion has been filed. It has not been approved. The DC Circuit Court...NOT all Trump appointees...must STILL rule on it.
Courts have surprised this administration before.
That is not optimism. It is ACCURACY.
What you can do is exactly what you ARE doing. Stay informed. Stay engaged. REFUSE to normalize what is being attempted. And...make November 2026 count.
This is absolutely insane! This woman shouldn’t even be on the bench, let alone in the position she was appointed to! The insanity of what we’re living through simply will not end!!!
To be precise...Pirro is not a judge. She is the US Attorney for DC...the top federal prosecutor in the nation's capital.
Which...in some ways...is worse.
A judge rules on cases. A US Attorney decides WHICH convictions to erase.
Fox News host...to most consequential prosecutorial position in the country. She signed the filing today.
The PACE of all this is deliberate. Each move would be disqualifying in any previous administration. Together...they arrive faster than outrage can process them.
My niece’s husband just retired from a 20 year career in the US Navy. He said at a family event “there is going to be another civil war in this country”. We don’t know. Does it seem plausible after what the unconstitutional war on Iran and the tariffs have wrecked our economy ?
If organized...coordinated action...to storm the Capitol doesn't meet the seditious conspiracy threshold...that standard applies universally. Not selectively. Law doesn't have a partisan setting.
The administration is betting loyalist prosecutors apply it selectively.
On Richard Armitage...don't see that chat in our current conversation. Resend the question here and I'll dig in.
I watched, in horror, on January 6, 2021, as a “mob” stormed the US Capitol. They weren’t peacefully sitting down conducting a “sit-in.” They had in their possession chemical deterrents, blunt objects, tasers, metal knuckles and other items used to cause injury or to kill people. VP Pence, Congressional leaders and their staff had to taken to safety by Capitol police. The mob’s actions were dangerous, preplanned and focused on inflicting maximum harm.
The incident was far more hazardous than protests in Minneapolis but I’m not sure any federal authorities will be held accountable under the current administration. So, under the column of yet another crime those who support this cowardly regime can commit in 🍊💩’s name and under his direction, I’m not surprised 😡🤬😢.
On a side note-it’s baseball season and when the National Anthem is being sung, I am listening to each and every word using a microscope I’ve never used before. I continually ask myself, “Will we ever be the home of the brave and the free again?” 😢😢
These people are effing nuts! I’m devastated to see how corrupt our judiciary system has become. I am wondering if this is because it was recently ruled that trump COULD be prosecuted for his participation in the seditious conspiracy. So if these criminals are absolved, then there was no crime. No crime means trumps actions were not criminal. The timing seems awfully suspicious……..
So this is the plan to overturn the next election. At least we are forewarned. How will we overcome this? Hungary might be able to give us a clue, but they didn’t have the kind of riots like we did as far as I know. How do we get around another sneaky move to turn our country into a Project 2025 White Christian Nationalist approved country? #HoldFast

I’m more than ready…will even get myself a new pitchfork for the occasion!
Maybe we can get a group discount at Home Depot

Judy Robinson...you are NOT overreacting.
You are reading the architecture correctly.
The motion has been filed. It has not been approved. The DC Circuit Court...NOT all Trump appointees...must STILL rule on it.

That is citizenship.

Thank you so much, Jack!
#HOLDFAST!
Yes, NO!!!
What can we do?
Agree
This is absolutely insane! This woman shouldn’t even be on the bench, let alone in the position she was appointed to! The insanity of what we’re living through simply will not end!!!
Christie...the frustration is warranted.
To be precise...Pirro is not a judge. She is the US Attorney for DC...the top federal prosecutor in the nation's capital.

ALSO deliberate.
Stay angry. Channel it toward November!

Thanks, Jack. I’ll just wait and comment on the paid piece if I can muster the energy. I see it just dropped. This is all so exhausting.

Linda...your niece's husband has context most civilians don't.
When people with twenty years in uniform...start using that language at family dinners... take it SERIOUSLY.
Traditional civil war is unlikely. Sustained political violence...and breakdown of institutional legitimacy...yeah...that's not.
Some argue...we're already in the early stages.
November 2026 is still a variable.
-Jack
Fuck that cyclop.
Sick shit, Jack.
Jaysus!!! if this action takes effect, it legalizes any mob assault on Congress...
PS Jack did you receive my chat on your query of Richard Armitage?
James...your legal logic is exactly right.
If organized...coordinated action...to storm the Capitol doesn't meet the seditious conspiracy threshold...that standard applies universally. Not selectively. Law doesn't have a partisan setting.
