Rather Smarmy did not make a good impression on me. Another who supports Putin, a vile dictator. I thought Nikki Haley acquitted herself very well. I think after the Iowa primary is out of the way, she will get traction. Iowa is a caucus state and those primaries are not really free and open elections. Minnesota was a caucus state, and now isn't. It was when I first moved here and I thought it was a poor system with open strong arming rampant.

When the balloting in states that have truly secret balloting I have to think Trump's losing streak will begin. I sure hope so, as you can see Biden aging before your eyes, he seems to be going downhill by the week, literally.

Why is he supporting Putin?! Also how did Haley acquit herself? Just curious.

I figured as much :
Trump crowns Ramaswamy the debate's winner — for praising him. A true ass kisser was on stage last night, billionaires supporting each other.,

Trump: He was tremendous on the stage. Did you know he use to be my pupil?

The jury, or the convicts? I hate Trump too, but c'mon man.

I'm guessing they call them federal crimes. If a leader planned the attacks, what, maaaaaaaybe 10 years. Guy puts his foot on Pelosi's desk and wasn't involved in assault seems like 1 year in prison. Pretty sure they will get the message in solitary confinement. Feels like sending a message sentences. The time should fit the crime.

That is what happens when you are a part of a violent insurrection to overthrow US democracy. What is unclear about this?

The length of some of these sentences, not the sentence itself.

That was my point. Context matters a great deal in sentencing.

33 years for a Proud Boy??? Hope that's like the leader who planned the whole thing. Even then it's like no murder involved. Hopefully "good time" cuts it down a bit. But yeah that's fucked up to me.

Yet again you’re defending the violent insurrectionists that gets their well deserved punishment.

No I'm questioning the length of the sentence.

Well cable ( internet) its about the only way to get a decent streaming service unless you go dish and then like my few neighbors always complain, when its foggy, forget about it. Prices just go up with little improvement in service.

 

[Dude#1279435]

Like if they plotted the insurrection which led to two people dying. Ok I could see maybe 33 years. Just some guys who were there and assault, not 33 years. Like 5 years etc.

Proud Boy claims ‘Trump won’ after sobbing for mercy and receiving 10-year sentence: reports

Proud Boy Dominic Pezzola sobbed in a Washington, D.C., courtroom Friday as he asked a federal judge for leniency in his Jan. 6 sentence and vowed to stay out of politics in the future.

However, after receiving a 10-year prison sentence, Pezzola reportedly raised his fist and shouted, “Trump won,” as he left the courtroom, according to WUSA.

The 46-year-old, who smashed a Capitol window with a stolen police riot shield, stood trial alongside four other members of the Proud Boys earlier this year in one of the most high-profile cases related to the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol.

The group faced seditious conspiracy charges for leading efforts to disrupt Congress’s certification of the 2020 election, following former President Trump’s loss to then-President-elect Joe Biden.

Pezzola, a recent Proud Boy recruit, was the only one of the five to be acquitted of seditious conspiracy. However, he was convicted of assaulting, resisting or impeding a police officer, robbery of government property and destruction of government property.

At Friday’s sentencing hearing, Pezzola apologized for his actions and told U.S. District Judge Timothy Kelly that Jan. 6 was “the worst, most regrettable decision in my life,” according to NBC News.

“Your honor, I stand before you as a changed and humbled man,” he also said, according to WUSA. “But, nonetheless as a man who has always taken responsibility for his actions … I have never denied what I did on J6.”

However, after the judge left the courtroom, Pezzola shouted out his support for Trump.

Another Jan. 6 rioter, who used a Taser on former D.C. police officer Michael Fanone in the neck as he was dragged through the crowd, similarly shouted the phrase “Trump won” following his sentencing in June, NBC News reported.
