      Goddamned morons.

        He will if he wins in the fall. He’ll need them all to come back with friends in 2029.

          No he won’t. At least not unless they have a couple million dollars to pay for that pardon. He already set his price before he left the first time. If anything it’ll go up because, you know, inflation.

      Trump prefers insurrectionists who don’t get arrested.

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    WASHINGTON — A far-right extremist who already served time for his role in the racist “Unite the Right” rally in Charlottesville in 2017 was sentenced to more than four years in federal prison Friday for stealing a police shield and twice using it against officers during the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol.

    Tyler Bradley Dykes, who was previously discharged from the Marines for “participating in extremist behavior,” was accused by prosecutors of giving a Sieg heil!

    But Dykes, a 26-year-old from Bluffton, South Carolina, denied that his celebration on the steps of the U.S. Capitol after the mob broke through a police line had been the Nazi salute.

    R.R.," spoke about the trauma that he and his fellow officers endured at the hands of the pro-Trump mob, who believed the former president’s lies about the 2020 election.

    One of the most disturbing things he heard were calls from rioters telling him to leave, to abandon his post, to let the mob take over the building and get to the lawmakers that police were protecting.

    said he found it “bizarre” that rioters were singing the national anthem during an assault on the democratic process and said that he wondered how members of the mob thought a similar fight should play out after the next election, or in reaction to news from the Supreme Court.
