QAnon Shaman's mom wants him to hold out for Trump's reinstatement so he can get a pardon

After he pleaded guilty in federal court this Friday to obstructing the congressional certification of the 2020 election on Jan. 6, the mother of Jacob Chansley, also known as the “QAnon Shaman,” urged her son to hold out hope for Donald Trump’s return to the White House — where he could then pardon Chansley.

During a Zoom press conference today, Chansley’s lawyer, Albert Watkins, said there’s “a large number of people in this in this country to this day that truly believe that the former President Trump will be president again very soon.”

“I can’t call them idiots,” he added. “Jake’s mother is one of the most beautiful, caring, loving, hardworking women you’ll ever meet.

Maybe he'll get some sort of probation and an order to get into a mental health program.

If his idiot mother influences him, he'll likely get himself into trouble again before too long.

Though a psych eval did find him competent at that time. I didn't verify the part about his mother but agree with your assessment. Best to keep him safely serving his term until after tRump's reinstatement, then they can apply. Maybe the Traitor in Chief will rethink refusing to pardon before.

You just lack the spine and the will to do so. And, if Jake's mother is in any way a Trump supporter, she isn't remotely caring or loving. Most of us have zero desire to meet this whackaloon.

and the courts could give two shits about what his mother wants.

He's over 18, and he is responsible for himself. SOrry, helicopter mom who enabled her son to be crazy and a useful tool. He was the colorful distraction while the 3%ers and Oath Keepers staged their coup attempt.

Over six hundred arrests, and now we're getting guilty pleas for all the low hanging fruit. One moron even wants to recant his guilty plea because 8 month in PRISON is too tough on him.

A whole bag full of waaaa waiting for all of them.

Full grown adolescents throwing a violent, deadly tantrum because ... why, exactly? They can't gun down Black people for sport, or force hot women to have sex with them??

Lock them all up and throw away the keys. Traitors deserve exile or hanging. Prison is too good for them.

Some people take their religious training and end up with that certainty-- that if you believe something, you make it happen. Not that you do it ("If I believe in myself, I can do this difficult task"--which is confidence in your own ability and of course helps)... but that you make something outside your control happen.

You have to believe in God to make God exist, in their formulation. And these Trumpers think they can apply that, I guess, to their other god. If they just believe he'll be president again, he ... will. No need for pesky elections.

Should have aborted. Sick of these wrist slaps and send them out to reunite. Take the cost of all the Capital destruction, the cost of the fence, install and take down, medical cost of all capital officers and every penny it took to man the National guard and divide it by the number guilty. Make those ass holes pay every penny our taxes took to clean up their shit. Each one would be fined 10’s of thousands to our treasury. Keep em locked up until their families, or Trump puts up the cash.

After he cooperates he may be safer in jail, who knows.

He put up such a macho show during the insurrection, then he started whining about the food because little Chansley only eats organic, then he complained about the jail, and finally decided to contribute with the investigation.

She might ask herself, “If Trump were going to pardon any of the insurrectionists, why didn’t he do so when he was still president?”

She, her son and Trump are all idiots.

The problem with people of this level of stupidity is they lack the self awareness of knowing they're stupid and should keep their mouth shut. That's known as the Palin effect.

It doesn't make them right, no matter how truly they believe something that's not real. However, I'm not totally unsympathetic to Jake's mother. Tell her to name a date by which her delusional belief that Trump will be president again is going to happen. I'll bet her a c-note it won't. I might as well make a little bank on her pathetic stupidity if she continues to inflict it on the rest of us.
