Seditionaries: FBI net closes on Maga mob that stormed the Capitol
A huge investigation has so far arrested 235 people, including far-right militants, members of the military – and otherwise unremarkable Trump fans
Good that they're going after the paramilitaries, but the numbers arrested are pathetically low.
Thousands of those rats are back in their sewers feeling secure and will come out again if they're not lifted, charged and imprisoned for the full 20 years coming to them.

I'm trying to get into the mental exercise of controlling my exasperation after learning that some of these so called patriots were willing to begin an insurrection for a president that they didn't bother to vote for.
Some arrested in Capitol siege didn't vote in 2020
They were there to "stop the steal" and to keep the president they revered in office, yet records show that some of the rioters who stormed the US Capitol did not vote in the very election they were protesting.

The special requests continue but why wouldn't they? After all, judges have already granted a trip to Mexico and feeding organic food to a criminal. Now another charged rioter has a request.

Wow
That is a quite spectacular argument to make
Senator Rick Scott, after viewing today's presentation has called the trial "a complete waste of time".
This is the same man who while being deposed by the Feds when his company was being sued for what was then the largest case of Medicare/Medicaid fraud in the history of the country managed to plead the 5th Amendment against self-incrimination a whopping SEVENTY-FIVE (75) times. The company (HCA) eventually pled guilty to at least 14 felonies and paid in excess of $2 billion in settlements/fines. Rick Scott was forced out as CEO prior to the deposition and walked away with golden parachute of nearly $10 million in cash and 10 million shares of HCA stock. He did not personally suffer any consequence for the actions of his company under his direction/leadership.
Today's actions in the Senate are a waste of time?
Rick Scott is and forever will remain a POS.

How a person with such a record can be a senator? something is really wrong with our electoral system, and our culture, when people continue voting into office a man as corrupted as Scott.
Many of these Republicans view this trial as a waste of time because they are refusing to accept the evidence and the constitutionality of the case.
Florida Man.
It's shocking to those of us with a moral and ethical center but the lengths to which cowards will go to justify their actions or inactions apparently knows no end. That's not just GOP elected officials it also includes a large percentage of the GOP voting base - who are consumed by fear (essentially their loss of privilege in economy and culture).

It made her straight hair go curl but the judge and her frizzy hair still make the decision to let Bullhorn mom free on bail so she could be with her children. The same children she left alone to fend on their own while she went to Washington DC to storm Capitol Hill. Not sure how social services haven't taken those kids away from her? must be because she is white.

Judge to Bullhorn Mom: You’re ‘So Unpatriotic It Makes My Straight Hair Curl’
Accused rioter Rachel Powell was granted bail—but only if she finally puts a face mask on.
When I read that the Judge had said 'and put a mask on too', it took me a few minutes to realise he meant a Covid mask.
