Great Patriots, Mostly Peaceful: Trump’s Promise to Free Jan. 6 Inmates in DC Jail — Almost All of Them Assaulted Law Enforcement Officers

Twenty-seven have been charged with assaulting police officers, nineteen have pled guilty or been convicted. These are the 'hostages' Trump and MAGATS lionize. Here is the list and the details of their activities on January 6. Hey, but at least they are featured in a perverted version of the National Anthem with Trump.

This sends a strong message that any federal
crime that benefits Trump will earn them a pardon.

It might fall to civil courts to sanction insurrectionists
for violence done to others. I'd expect Trump to
cover their judgements, so the awards would
need to be large enuf to cause pain to Trump
& the RNC. Cases would need to be brought
to courts with some independence from Trump,
so that there's no loyalty to him, nor ability for
Trump to threaten them.

Contrary to MAGAT talking points, some protestors had weapons on the Capitol grounds:

In March 2022, 49-year-old Texan Guy Reffitt, was convicted (among other charges) for being unlawfully present on Capitol grounds while possessing a firearm and transporting firearms during civil disorder.

A Department of Justice indictment from January 2021 also states that Christopher Alberts, Maryland, was found carrying a Taurus G2C semi-automatic handgun on Capitol grounds on January 6.

Off-duty Drug Enforcement Administration agent Mark Sami Ibrahim, 32, was also indicted by a grand jury for bringing a firearm within the United States Capitol and its grounds.

When there is a revolution in Europe: the army joins the protesters.

When there is a revolution in the USA: the army kills their fellow Americans. Because they are paid to do so.
The army just want their thirty pieces of silver...and they're happy.


Horrific. ;)

Thus proving beyond doubt that his "law and order" stance is pure sham.

Huh? The army would have rebelled against their own government based on the lies of a narcissistic shyster. Do you really think the US Army should have joined the MAGA riot? My guess is that would have resulted in some pretty harsh consequences not worth the feelings of Donald Trump.

Do people really think Donald Trump (of all people!) is worth that level of violence?

You must be thinking of Italian soldiers
(the only ones you'd know). Here they're
different.

Or they take their oath seriously:

"I, _____, do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic;..."
In Germany, soldiers were required to take an oath of loyalty to a man, rather than to their nation or its governing documents. Seems like MAGA have done something similar with Mango Mussolini.

The criminals of the Jan 06 riots pretty much got the book thrown at them, yet the criminals of the BLM riots who did far more damage, injured far more police officers, and caused far more harm; pretty much got off scott free! Kinda funny how that works huh?

I suspect you were being sarcastic, but it is not funny at all. It is a civic disgrace (at best) that partisan citizens turn a blind eye to government's abdication of administering justice because those who need justice meted to them are motivated by ideas shared by the partisans, or when government is used to administer false justice on the innocent. Partisans are destroying our society.

How many did get prosecuted?
Sentences?

But ya know....insurrection at the Capitol Building,
& being part of a larger attempted coup, I see
the value in sending a stronger message against
that. Even with the actual BLM damage being
much less, the potential Maga damage was far
greater.

With the BLM Riots? Only a tiny percentage of the actual criminals that did damage.

I don't see it; make it make sense to me.

Are you under the impression the Jan 06 insurrection was more damaging than the BLM riots? You've got to be joking! However if you are not, how did you come under this impression?

But in that case, the constitutional right to protest is violated.
The US Constitution allows for peaceful, gatherings and protest. This does not include pushing through barricades and grabbing weapons at hand to beat police officers, while attacking the federal Congress to stop the peaceful transfer of power from one president to the next, after a legally, and fairly concluded election.

Maybe the Italian constitution commands soldiers to rush up and attack the government buildings whenever a few protesters there want to go in, but luckily in the US we have lawn order.

One question: how do Americans think they will get free universal healthcare?
By virtue of the Holy Spirit?

They should rise up...and the army should side with them, because they deserve free healthcare too.
Oh...I forgot...they are content with the thirty pieces of silver the Government gives them.

Why do you think two police officers committed suicide?
You commit suicide because of remorse.

That's so biblical.
