It feels wrong to press the "heart" button on this -- but it's so important that the full horror and obscenity of the J6-ers, and the Criminal in Chief who characterizes them as "patriots," be dragged into the sunlight. What an obscenity these maniacs perpetrated, in the service of an evil sociopath.

Remember when TFG said he didn't like people who got captured? Guess that changed, huh.

Thanks for sharing this information, TC. I remain stunned at how many of my law enforcement “brothers” still call this a “legitimate protest”.

We all watched it in real time. They are brain-washed. Assuming they have a brain

All this needs to be repeated loudly and often. What an abomination that tfg would ever speak of pardoning these traitors!

What an abomination that tRump is free to gallivant around the country while other people are paying the price for doing his dirty work. I do not have any sympathy for those now convicted felons. They went armed to the Capitol, intending to cause harm. They should have to register as traitorous insurrectionists, just like sex offenders have to register. I just wish tRump's sorry orange ass was in jail also.

So do I. Let’s hope that happens soon!

How twisted is it that the man who called for all of this fucknuttery is free as a bird and is running for POTUS to stay out of prison? These guys in the"choir"must be nuts to sing for this lying grifter and be flattered by it. smfh

They're not nuts, they're the lumpenproletariat, the bottom of the bottom. the oafs without brains.

The word for today boys and girls is "lumpenproletariat".

Say it with me: The choir singing patriotic songs from jail are the lumpenproletariat.

I laughed out loud. :-)

It takes a really devoted patriot to spread poop all over the Capitol building, doesn't it?

This reveal about the domestic life of insurrectionist Stewart Rhodes, eye-patched Oathkeeper, is a short read and totally supports any of your inspired descriptions of the thugs.

Garbage is what they are, that was like looking through the trash behind the sanitation department.

I have to wonder what goes through the minds of TFG's Secret Service detail when they have to ensure the life of a punkarse who really has no use for law enforcement at any level, from underpaid security guards through patrol officiers to officers of the court and judges. He should hope that they have more respect for the law that protects his useless sack of flesh than he's shown for their lives and wellbeing.

Recall all too many Secret Service agents bought his bluster!

Presidential pension, office funds and security started with Harry S Truman who had no place to go after serving our country!

Basta! Enough, those who have served as POTUS leave office with a $10 million contract to write a book!

Time to cut the public funding cord!

But this guy is broke and incapable of writing a good bumper sticker much less a book. His ongoing SS protection has enabled him to continue to be a chaos agent with impugnity--or immunity, as he prefers to say.

These certainly are "unbelievable" patriots. Only a mind as warped as the trumpster's. We can be thankful for criminal justice that these thugs are at least temporarily off the streets. Why are they being allowed to participate in the trumpster's campaign?

good question.

But at least DOJ did a thorough job of investigating and convicting them, with prison sentences that keep them safely (for us) behind bars through the election and for years beyond.

Trump deserves to be in prison with his “patriot friends” for the rest of his unnatural life. Mr. Bone spurs would surely welcome the opportunity to embrace his true fans in this most intimate setting and the rest of us might welcome this as well.

I was appalled when I heard that bastard dedicate the Star Spangled Banner to the "hostages". It really made me so disgusted and I wanted to puke.

Someone at The Bulwark needs a copy editor. Otherwise a chilling reminder of what really happened.

That was me in my copy/paste - editorially corrected now if you read the post here.
