I don't think I was serious. She's a gangsta though, so you never know.
That's what they brought him in on. That doesn't mean its the end of the charges.
I don't think Trump would dare. He has a big enough target on his back already.
This is the danger and stupidity of living in your own bubble or reality. These individuals have egged each other on and bought into this shared created narrative so much that they couldn't even fathom the idea that there would be real world repercussions.
It's disgusting that these bozos are probably going to make a lot of money off this from quiet sympathisers.
The type who loved what they saw on Wednesday but out of fear of being rightfully called out will keep a low profile.
I hope GoFundMe and other places ban any attempt for them to make money.

I was looking at the Nuremberg trials and on Wikipedia they list what the sentences were. You would be surprised at the number of people who were given 10+ year sentences and were released early or had their sentences reduced.
I feel like these guys will get like max 5 years in prison and will be let out for good behaviour after a few years.
Good, because I want "being a traitorous fuckwad" tacked on as well, along with every other person who stepped beyond any single barricade.
well fuck me. remind me to never commit a crime in D.C.
these folks are so fucked. good.
They thought Trump would seize power and treat them all as patriots. Many legitimately thought there would be military tribunals for all Democratic congressmen and even voters. They believed Trump would execute Democrats in the street by firing squad.
Not exaggerating. Many of them actually believed that. Some still do. "He never specified that the new administration would be Biden's!" lmao
I'm really amazed they all went in there not even attempting to hide their identity and filmed the whole thing like it was an Instagram story.
To all the people worried about a Trump pardon, Trump ain't doing shit. Trump is only out for himself and protecting his own interests. It does him no good to pardon any of these fuckers and it would only put him in deeper shit.
They thought they'd be treated as conquering heroes. Not a joke. That's what they thought and still think.
You have not been paying attention for the past 4 years
They take him into the interrogation room and close the door.
The cameras in the room turn off.
Out of a dark corner, a figure emerges.
"You think it's funny to put your feet on my desk, huh?"
Only one of our 4 representatives and neither of our senators voted against the electoral college certification. So there's that at least.
I am still baffled why weren't these people arrested on site. Investigation is not required as they were literally "on restricting grounds"
because the people that would have arrested them were OK with what they were doing.
Trump doesn't care about "low class" folks
Trump pardoning members of a coup would thoroughly screw over the GOP
Homie is going to get some serious time, and if not then the GOP will be even more fractured if this behavior is supported again. A sitting president pardoning an individual or mass individuals who stormed the Capitol and walked in with a rebel flag? This is honestly historic. Win-Win for Dems if Trump acts or doesn't.

I think someone made a good post where these loons think they "own" everything and that the senators "must" do as they say or else.
You know how they angrily shout at cops recently that they "pay them" and that cops "work for them". If they have that mentality then the law doesn't matter since its their capital, and their desk there, and the cops are there for their safety.
Thankfully reality will set in and these fools must be back home clenching their butt cheeks since they know that their day is coming.
GoFundMe would pull these fundraisers immediately, but they have their own Nazi-friendly fundraising sites so they'll just use those.
You'd think if there was a reasonable chance the FBI would visit for you being in the news stealing shit....you'd go and throw out everything illegal in your goddamn house.
No, you can be pre-emptively pardoned even before charges, and it can be blanket. Carter pardoned all vietnam draft dodgers in 1977 despite many having no official charges yet.
Man pictured with foot on desk in Pelosi's office is arrested
Images apparently showing Richard Barnett of Arkansas in the speaker's office became emblematic of the mayhem that tore across the U.S. Capitol.

Definitely confirms that he's not exactly a mastermind criminal. ;D
Dude was dumb enough to pose for pictures of himself commiting a crime. Probably sees himself as a martyr
I'm pretty sure the other members of his community see him as a hero, not as a criminal. This is exactly what rural Arkansas is.
You're amazed that people doing something not smart didn't go about it in a smart way?
It's a cult by every definition. These people are straight-up brainwashed and insulated from reality thanks to a constant, 24/7 diet of Fox News/Newsmax/OANN,/Conservative talk radio/Parler/QAnon boards that they literally thought they could overthrow the government, install their dictator, and they would be welcomed as revolutionaries and patriots (hence why many didn;t bother to cover their faces or hide their identities and gleefully bragged about this on social media). It was all possible in their heads thanks to the fantasy world they've spent the last 4 years constructing for themselves in their own heads.
But then reality came and punched them in the face and they don;t know how to handle it.
