I don't mean to sound like such a doomposter/negative Nancy, but how any of you have any faith left in the system to punish these people is beyond me.

You only have to understand one thing about Honore'...
He was dubbed John Wayne as soon as his boots touched the ground, my father worked with him.
It's a wrap. Honore' DO NOT fuck around.

So let's say someone like Ted Cruz is found guilty, prosecuted, and ejected from the senate. What happens to his seat? Does his party replace them? Is there a snap election? Something else?
Biden and the Democrats in Congress need to put away the calls for unity if the curtain is pulled back and there are several elephants standing behind it.
Station Troops at every single state capital, throw these traitors into prison and dare the white supremacy groups to start something. This is the conclusion of a decade or more of absolutely toxic vitriol from one single party, while the other remains civil.

Depends on individual state laws, but generally it's an immediate replacement by the Governor... and generally it triggers a special election.
This. I can hear my parents now.
"The government has too much power. Look, those socialists are targeting only Republicans! They're taking over and soon all of our rights will be stripped away!"
I know that the last 4 years have worn us all down, and begun to desensitize us in many ways as well. But the severity of what happened last week cannot ever, EVER be overstated. The fate of the country's future was literally in the balance for several hours straight. So yes, I believe that if any real evidence comes to light that any members of congress have aided the insurrectionists in any way they will face consequence. They have to. There is no healing and unity until that happens. And if Trump's army of brainwashed fools continue to piss and moan about their conspiracies and propaganda-induced manias then so be it, that's on them.
Are we as a country going to forever tiptoe around these people, scared to innaction of their irrationality?
Hell with some of the shit I've seen Dems let slide under the idea that the "country needs to heal", I've often thought that they really must be fucking with people when they say that shit. But AOC said it best in one of her post-Capitol riot interviews, that healing requires consequence & accountability and not just acknowledging that something bad happened.
I mean it is running on empty but stuff like the Georgia win & the fact that at least a lot of insurrectionists are getting arrested (we'll see about convictions), has given me a few drops of optimism for the future. It's not much but it's something. Exposure may not lead to punishment but even being exposed potentially is some sort of blow to the stability of the GOP that could cascade into more.
I totally agree that all of that should happen, and should enact some change. I just don't think it will because we've seen time and time again that they get away with everything and there IS no accountability from their side.
Fingers crossed but not holding my breath.
Anyway, this place sees enough negativity so I won't belabor the point. Here's hoping though.
Yeah, people like him don't fuck around.
We have Honoré on board. Honoré.
Two things...
One, we have stuff filed on DoJ record that they can't indict a sitting President. This shouldn't be a thing of course, but it's there. There exists no such thing for others in the Federal government. They can be charged like anyone else.
Two, Biden is in power in less than a week. He gets to staff the DoJ. He's not going to give directions to let this stuff slide like Trump and his toadies would. These people chose a really bad time to fuck around.
No judging since I completely understand where you're coming from. The fact that we're even at the point where white supremacists nearly got the chance to kill politicians shows that we're in dire straights in this country.
Hey there, Lauren. Please let the door hit you on the way out. ✌
I'd be amazed if she actually faces consequences for what she did, which is a shame.
The President isn't protected either. Just because chicken shit Mueller didn't indicted the President doesn't mean the President can't be indicted.
When some of these do go to trial they better do a deep dive on the jury's social media to make sure they aren't supporters of sedition and terrorism. This is gonna be bad if a lot of them walk because the jury buys into their nonsense.
I think Trump isn't going to pardon anyone if he can't get a pardon himself. Looks like there's fuck all chance of Trump stepping down so that Pence can pardon him, and allegedly Trump has been advised that a self-pardon would be unwise. Basically, if Trump isn't getting a pardon then he's such a petulant cunt that he probably won't pardon anyone else before he goes.
Guess he might pardon his kids? Then again, maybe not. Maybe just Ivanka?
This doesn't sound like idle talk, and I assume this is to make them shit themselves because it's a good thing in and of itself, and it might push them to incriminate themselves or others.
Or they're just baiting Trump into some pardon bullshit and idk.
I think it's a good thing overall that they're adding gravitas to all of this because it counteracts that collective normative impulse to downplay and rationalize something that was beyond the pale.

There will, of course, be consequences for trying and failing to overthrow the government. I'm sure they all expected Trump to pardon them once he'd seized dictatorial power, but... they failed. Boebert would've giddily pulled the lever on Pence, and all of her fellow Representatives know it.
Come at the king, you'd best not miss.

I thought she was suspended? This violence inciting traitor trash should not have a voice on twitter.
This Honoré guy seem competent, but I won't get my hopes up just yet. Maybe some scums will get neutralized, and maybe it will be another Mueller Report.
MAY BE prosecuted, not WILL BE prosecuted.
I'm not convinced until I see some real consequences.

Who would have predicted the rise of idiots who get fake info off Facebook to the level of holding public office in DC. What an absolute piece of shit.
