Chesebro and Eastman should be sentenced to <redacted to avoid the banhammer but totally wishing them to suffer greatly>.

They're treasonous, and should be tried as such.

That image up at the top is one of my favorite mugshots of that crew. Dude looks so honestly stunned, like never in a million years could he have envisioned himself being arrested and photographed - after all, he's a *White Man*(tm).

Compelling, disturbing and a sublimely crafted work…it’s as if a Dok & an Evan piece had a baby

Recall the stockpiles of supplies that some of the militia groups brought to tide them over while they "occupied" buildings, there was coordination that the, uh, tourists inadvertently interrupted and I feel that is why many were given such light sentences and small fines and None were charged with the Statues and Monuments Act which (while applicable) carries much stiffer penalties.

Ta, Gary. Insanity.

So riots, which we know were preplanned by the Proud Incels and the Oafkeepers in coordination with creeps like Roger Stone ruined the lawyers’ plan to legally steal the presidency?

It’s horrifying that the only thing that saved us from fascism was that they were all so incredibly stupid and that the right hand didn’t know what the left hand was doing.

weird to think that you were saved by redneck yahoo traitors (scary too)

How does the Senate electing Mike Pence to be president make any sense at all? He also lost the vote along with TFG. These guys were just grasping at imaginary straws, but I guess that's just "what lawyers do", or former lawyers...

That’s what happens when you fancy yourself an evil legal genius, hoping to find glory in a long shot gambit to give the presidency to the clear loser. He rolled the 20-sided die, hoping it would somehow land on 45, (or 46?) and bet against democracy and America. He lost, and now has a framed mugshot for his trouble.

And not NEARLY enough time behind bars, but better than nothing.

He should have very little time behind bars, and a long time as inanimate matter thereafter.

And, of course, none of these dipshits considered the basic logistics of resource and supplies for those two weeks.

Donnie's Dipshits would have expected food and drink to magically appear wherever they were whenever they needed it. Just like at home.

Exactly why the Battle of Malheur Wildlife Sanctuary was such a fiasco. A modern army requires between 12 and 20 people working in non combat roles, for each combat soldier. Truck drivers, cooks, quartermasters, medics, electricians, etc.

But these ammosexual chuds act like they're playing Call of fucking Duty, shoot shit or GTFO. Logistics aren't important until they realise NO ONE brought snacks. Or, as you say, they're so used to having domestic labour performed invisibly for them, that they forget someone needs to actually organise that shit.

Insightful comment.

But there's always Doritos and Mountain Dew at mom's house - who need logistics?

Fortunately for us, every DJT well-thought-out plan ends with them counting on "and then a miracle occurred". https://image.slidesharecdn.com/20100608webcontentchicagoslideshare-100609140333-phpapp02/95/slide-31-1024.jpg

Well, you have to admit that persuading a majority of the 117th Congress to take the Big Lie seriously would surely have been easier than they found persuading 60 judges to be- the Republicans in Congress are always ready to give full faith and credit to whatever evidence-free bullshit is reverberating in the wingnutosphere. We are just lucky that the putschists were anarchic and lacked staying power. Leaderless, they dispersed back to their dank lairs like the orcs and trolls at the fall of Barad Dur.

What's super-scary is that all those spineless assholes like Ted Cruz and Lindsey Graham would have been all ready to do whatever Chesebro and the rest of those crooks wanted.

And in fact quite a bit of them were ready to change the results from the inside as well. Josh Hawley, Gomer, Gaetz, Sporkfoot, Bobert..The list goes on.

They were salivating at the very idea of it.
