If Milquetoast Mike Pence—the guy who puts the “mouse” in pusillanimous—is the universally acclaimed avatar of GOP cowardice, then Mike’s brother Greg is the avatar’s juice-box-sipping vestigial twin. On Jan. 6, 2021, Greg was rushed out of the Capitol...

Conspiracy theory still finds purchase; nation splits over Trump's name on ballots.
Republicans Are Blurring the Faces of Capitol Rioters so They Won’t Get Arrested

New #HouseSpeaker Johnson has started to release some 40k hrs of #January6th #video footage with blurred faces of #Capitol bldg interlopers, in hopes to show most so-called #CapitolRioters were just curious tourists, more like kids lost at #Disneyland than threat to #Democracy as portrayed in #J6 reports. #CapitolPolice and #HouseDemocrats like #RepRaskin of MD and #RepMorelle of NY have said releasing all the unedited footage only provides a #terrorist roadmap to future #insurrectionists on camera locations and other sensitive details about #USGov #Security operations around #USCapitol . Johnson was praised for his #courage by #Trump and many #RWNJ #GOP members of #Congress.

And if they do, I hope they would bring him here.” “We would have a good time, and it would be awesome to get to meet Donald Trump,” Jenkins continued and Jesus freaking Christ lol this asshole really fucking thinks Trump would be happy to be incarcerated with the losers whose lives […]

@QLC Lies exposed🧾…again…effort, time &💰wasted.
“…records reveal a co. that fought until the end to give some of 🤡’s most belligerent supporters the benefit of the doubt, even as its intnl teams faced an overwhelming volume of tweets threatening #retribution in line w/🤡’s lies that the 🗳️election had been stolen.
“…lawyers inside the co. argued that his Cont'd praise of the #CapitolRioters amounted to “glorification of violence”…
An Associated Press review of court records shows that prosecutors in the more than 1,000 criminal cases from Jan. 6, 2021, are increasingly asking judges to impose fines on top of prison sentences to offset donations from supporters of the Capitol rioters.
