How embarrassingly SILLY----"ridiculous"----are we going to allow our public discourse to become?
We are coming up on the first anniversary of the well-financed and planned attempted overthrow of the United States government and hardly a day goes by without several media "discussions" about WHETHER this was a serious matter.
MOST of those January 6th insurrectionists who have been convicted of some offense have not been sentenced to ANY jail time. In my apparently "quaint" opinion, if a person truly did not fight with police or damage or steal property and had no prior similar offenses, ONLY six months in jail would be appropriate. That should be the minimum penalty imposed on these criminals.
I know, you know, EVERYONE knows that if BLM had tried to invade the US Capitol in a similar manner, MANY body bags would have been needed and the same Trumpies now insisting that nothing serious happened would be screaming "Hang 'em ALL!" I certainly do not want that to be done to these Capitol invaders, but could we PLEASE demand that they not be treated like "mere trespassers"?
Is there any genuine doubt that the Trump regime attempted a coup? If not, what is there to "discuss" endlessly?
Finally, how many felonies does Trump have to admit on video before SOMEONE throws his junky ass behind bars?
