DBRichard3 The qanon shaman got 41 months today his is the longest as of now, that I am aware of.

Should’ve been more

Politakes1 Good thing he didn't accidentally vote wrong and get 5 years. 😏

About darn time.

Good. They all deserve that.

Lucky he didn’t get the Mike brown treatment

play stupid games, win stupid prizes

His leader should be able to get him out. If he cares.

This guy and prison time were inevitable dance partners long before January 6th. His 0-1 MMA Fight record won’t be impressing any of his new friends in Prison. Pretty sure that losing streak is going to survive his sentence.

In our news, a rioter from the summer of love who burned millions in private property and destroyed lives is a hero. That the left for you! I hope the officers lip is ok.

whoa the kevin was removed from his name here

Should be 5+ years. Some ppl are dead bcuz they confronted a cop, & were not committing a terrorist act.

👇

Good. Keep him locked up for the entire sentence.

And they was climbing that building like monkeys unbelievable

If the US doesn’t start punishing these terrorists they’re just going to do it again.

Stupidity has consequences

Wonderful. 🥰

A leftist could throw a Molotov cocktail into an occupied building, intending to burn everyone inside, and get less time. This is POLITICAL persecution.

Not long enough, but it’s a start. I love how they all say “this isn’t who I am” even though it’s exactly who they are. Or at least all their actions and behavior have shown that’s exactly who they are…which is worse, since it means they know they’re wrong but do it anyways!

Good!

There is no greater joy than having financial stability and a life free of debts, that’s why I keep tweeting about lisamiaBTC it has been a pleasure collaborating with you...there is no other way I can show my appreciation other than tweeting the good deed you have done

Not long enough

Donald Trump attacked America, our rule of law & our Constitution on January 6th. He attacked the ideas of freedom, equality, justice, fairness & power of the people. Never forget it. NoOneUnscripted

Good.

That is great news.

Wow assault to an officer get three years we now have precedence on what the life of an officer is with. And what the rule of law is. Crime against the office of the president is without power against White supremacy. They just don't have the will or guts to prosecute there own.

Hallelujah

So they just established a baseline for punishment if a person assaults/punches a police officer. Can't wait for that to be applied to all the 'peaceful protesters' and future conflicts.

Good. No more of this 60 day bullshit. Make them regret following into terrorist plots.

KamalaHarris not going to put a word in with MNFreedomFund or did they stop funding violence against police in 2020? maybe Hollywood can do a match fund raising challenge. SpeakerPelosi 'surprised'? maybe actblue ? 'what we want'? you know the thing

Three years is the longest sentence?

Less deaths and destruction then riots

Excellent! NeverForgetJanuary6th

Scott Fairlamb -- what a maroon! 😂🤣

finally!!! cheers!

Not a game show: Ex-TV star at center of Lebanon-Saudi rowBEIRUT (AP) — George Kordahi was popular among TV viewers in the Middle East for his dapper charm. He schmoozed with beautiful women, dropped jokes and recited lines of Arabic poetry — all the while weighing in with his political opinions about the region’s events. seldeeb This is with Khamenei the terrorist seldeeb Actually he didn't criticise saudi's role he just said the war on Yemen was aggressive and absurd - that's all he said - they just needed any excuse to set the whole situation on fire - and FYI he made that statement before he was minister, so it was just a freedom of opinion seldeeb Not really because of that, it is because he supports an Iranian backed militias which stationed in Lebanon. So, very simple.
