Trump is protected by a double standard but supporting Trump on 1/6 may cost each supporter so much but Trump doesn’t care, they may experience possible loss of their freedom, savings, job/income, home, intimate connection with family and friends, ability to own fire arms, right to vote, as a convicted criminal may have extreme difficulty obtaining employment or a bank loan once released from prison, good standing in the community along with so many other things that will create lifelong issues as a result of their conviction that includes joining the military or being considered for most elected positions on a local, state or national level. If someone with a law enforcement career or an attorney a conviction can end someone’s career. Members of the military can be subject to a dishonorable discharge in addition to other charges as well as additional jail time as a result of military court/court marshal leveled by the particular branch of service. Older victims may face the rest of their life in prison and the embarrassment for their family of having died in prison.


Kelly Case, you go right ahead and keep giving away your power one blue vote at a time. Trump doesn’t have a snowballs chance in hell of winning, so you only have to vote against Trump without having to vote blue across the board, but I know you will vote all blue regardless.

Trump probably won’t live 10 more years, so in essence America is going to give away their power for nothing. I predict the media because Trump will still get 50 million votes in 2024 will tell the American people you have to keep voting blue until those 50 million people are nothing but dust in the wind. By that time you will have completely given away all your power because it’s a foregone conclusion Democrats will receive 290 seats in the house and 60 seats in the Senate and then they will immediately create legislation which will cause the voting laws to be changed to make sure they don’t need your vote anymore.

By that time assuming I haven’t bought the farm before then, I will be about where medical science says is the average lifespan for a male living in America. That means while America will be a one party nation and be governed totally by the Democrats, they can’t touch people who are dead

But if by 2030 you are someone who is less than 55 years old, that age range between 25 and 55 will be their target because that’s where they will be getting most of their tax dollars from. They will enact laws where you cannot vote them out no matter what they decide to do.

If you want to give all that away for Trump who’s not going to be in the picture after 2024 ever again, then you pay the price for something you didn’t need to in the first place

What you do is what you do but not if, but when this happens if you tell anybody else you didn’t know it was going to be this way then you are forgetting what I’m warning you about now. For the last time I will say you better start thinking very carefully because the price you pay not only you will have to pay for it but maybe your children and grandchildren. I recommend you choose wisely but I have the belief most people including you will walk into that lions den pretending what is going to happen is not going to happen, but it will


Kelly Case, Solutions providers which is white politicians are supposed to be because they are supposed to advocate for the American people cannot also be excused makers

Biden has a responsibility to the American people to be proactive in the needs of the average America. The moves by the Fed which was designed to alleviate inflation has only created a second problem because now not only people have to live with over 80% inflation but now they cannot refinance, Sell their homes, or purchase now. This is going to crash the housing market which is going to put realtors, construction, mortgage servicing companies and everyone else related to home purchasing on the unemployment line

Energy costs are up 50% over where they were less than two years ago and the world is unstable to the point at any time there could be nuclear conflicts and as many as three areas around the world

As someone who isn’t aligned with any political party, as an American citizen I see this country going into a very dangerous position and once we arrive there there’s no turning back. People were very unwise in both 2020 and 2022 and if this trend continues, America will be in a far different place and it will not be for the better when it comes to the average American citizen


Jen Reese I have no idea who the Oath Keepers are, but I imagine, based on the rhetoric, that they are the mirror opposite to BLM, which would mean that BOTH are extremists,...
I don't feel either are compatible with today's American ethos... we are a Country that prefers not to be judged by "the Color of our skin, but rather the content of our character"... which I believe History will call a "Stain" on the Biden Administration, since they "exhumed" the 60's to recreate that chaos in our Nation. My hope is, that it will not take too long to forgive each other for allowing this to happen to us.
I feel that Dr. King's legacy, and his memory deserves that.


Under 18 U.S.C. § 2384, “seditious conspiracy” occurs when two or more persons:

conspire to overthrow, put down, or to destroy by force the Government of the United States, or to levy war against them, or to oppose by force the authority thereof, or by force to prevent, hinder, or delay the execution of any law of the United States, or by force to seize, take, or possess any property of the United States contrary to the authority thereof.

Individuals charged with seditious conspiracy can be fined and could serve up to 20 years in prison.
Not enough time or consequences.


William Lawson trump is the GOP's front runner in the 2024 election,.. none of this matters to you, because you won't loose any of YOUR freedoms if trump were to be in charge again.. me loosing my right to vote is important to me, access to contraceptives are important to me, the free press is important to me, being able to disagree with the government (regardless of party affiliation) is important to me, believing in the rule of law (not beating 100+ capital police officers with flag poles and fire extinguishers) is important to me, believing in the right to peaceful protest is important to me,.. and many others, trump (again,.. the GOP's front runner) is aligning himself with someone who what's trump to be a dictator, and trump is not disavowing this nut-case.. so please, take your preaching elsewhere


Beverly Wootton Marsh there is a lot. That 5 people were killed due to the violence is one. That everyone who entered the building was violent. AOC even asked why the police who let people in the building were never charged. Why was Pelosi's relative with her after they were evacuated, filming a documentary on Nancy being tough? People saying Trump told people to go be violent....politicians, lawyers, and a lot of other people will say they are fighting for you... doesn't mean fist fighting. The first night of the Jan. 6th committee, they showed a video talking about the white supremacist group, the Proud Boys, which was weird, since the leader of that group was literally a black Cuban guy....


Gage Barnes You know the term willfully blind? Willfully ignorant?
I watched the original speeches as they were happening. (Not your rewriting of history)
I watched him calling out for Pence not blindly following illegal directives from the former President to ignore the will of the people and not certify the electoral college votes. I watched him call out for a march on the seat of power. And later when things had gone sideways I saw him (apparently unwillingly) calling out for peaceful protest. FYI. That attack on the Senate also put every one of the Republican Senators at risk-which is why the initial response from the Senators wasn't partisan in nature. (That only happened later as it sunk in how it would look historically for the Republican Party)
And we'll just ignore that whole part of the "commander in chief" ignoring his Oath to uphold the Constitution in his blind quest to remain in power.
We also won't go into the last 2 years of king baby psychotically maintaining the big lie of the steal.
Shallow? I'm seeing a puddle not a pool


Tammy Ann Leinaala Chester, you are 100% wrong. Clearly, you have no training in federal or state law. There is no law or rule against a sitting Attorney General investigating someone. By your child-like standards, anybody who is being investigated need only to file to run for President and he can't be prosecuted without a special prosecutor being appointed. So now, anyone who has committed a crime should file for the presidency so the feds have to appoint hundreds of special prosecutors...right? Whoops. I know...how foolish. Garland has had TWO YEARS to investigate and file any charges and he has sat on his hands. He did this for political reasons and the fact that he is a coward. By the way, International Court experience is not relevant here so why you brought that up is beyond any thinking person's ability to comprehend. Trump was not a "government servant", he was President. I think the term you were looking for there was "civil servant", not "government servant", but either way, you're wrong again. I find it utterly humorous that YOU who knows nothing about the law are telling ME, to call my attorney.


10ºAfter months of denying reality, about a stain on American politics, a court has spoken, something finally comes of it.. Headlines scream "Jury convicts Oath Keepers leader of seditious conspiracy".. Another 'militia' member also found guilty.. About time somebody suffered some consequences, that were involved in the planning, financing, incitement, and execution of the deadly capital insurrection.. Trump likely never will, although it is now being revealed, there were teams of lawyers, politicians, campaign contributors, and even law enforcement, that had a detailed plan to overturn the election.. All they needed was 'delay' of certification, even just for a few days, for the plan to work.. Anyone participating in bringing about this attack on democracy, an assault on a free and fair election, needs to be charged, tried, and convicted if guilty, receiving 'harsh' extended sentences, actually see the inside of a jail..
