The 'Trump told me to' defense provides 'great evidence' for a Senate impeachment trial, joked one activist.

The lawyer for Jacob Anthony Chansley recently said in a statement that the"QAnon Shaman" was seeking a presidential pardon and"to walk down Pennsylvania Avenue to the Capitol," according to St. Louis CBS-affiliate KMOV.

"Given the peaceful and compliant fashion in which Mr. Chansley comported himself, it would be appropriate and honorable for the president to pardon Mr. Chansley and other like-minded, peaceful individuals who accepted the president's invitation with honorable intentions," said attorney Albert Watkins.

Oh well

All evidence for the impeachment trial!

There needs to be more $$$ pumped into adult education.

Oh yeah and no more media no social media in prison

No more organic food for you weirdo

abreen29364489 Lock each and every one of them up.

Could and should hurt his case. Sort of connects the dots of conspiracy.

We will never forget The Six

By asking to be pardoned these people admit that they are law breaking insurrectionists following the law breaking orders of the President - the chief insurrectionist. No, they shouldn’t be pardoned. In fact, their requests should be used as evidence of their admission of guilt.

donwinslow “ooops'

I previously said I didn’t think he’d pardon them because it would make him look bad in the Senate, but I didn’t expect the rioters to basically say “the House was right, you incited insurrection, please pardon us because of that”

JK_DarkSide Her would have to be both insane and profoundly stupid to pardon them. Granted, he *is* that insane and stupid. Presumably his people are/were taking him down from that

This picture demonstrates why there are laws against having sex with immediate family members.

They were rioters those in the White House not the people outside who want change new people in Senate and Congress TERM LIMITS

mabsguzman Ya think?

Cgi.

donwinslow Trump will fall into this trap and pardon them

Idiots

Biden should unpardon any body pardoned by Trump in the run-up to the inauguration. These insurrectionists should be locked up.

donwinslow Yes implicate the fascist president

donwinslow These people are terrorists and should be labeled as such.

Donnie Dingbat really attracts the dregs of society doesn't he...just sayin' 🤣dumbfucks FoxNews

donwinslow I hope it does!!🙏🙏🤞🤞

This is just great. Let's see how trump handles this.

donwinslow It is sad to think , that Trump thought there was going to be some respectable people in his crowd. He thought that some dapper fellows in a suit, were going to go with thier umbrellas and show them a good old rousting.

The funny thing is the republicans have been screwing the proud boys and the extremist’s families for decades and they are going to jail so their tax money can be given to trump a pandemic is killing their own family members no jobs because of trump millions playing golf lmao

at least this is funny

Good

ANTI TRUMP

donwinslow All of them should be held fully accountable... ESPECIALLY TRUMP! 🤦🏻‍♂️

donwinslow 'They were following orders.' Compelled to act due to an order (albeit illegal) seems bad, because it actually shows that Trump's words were not only irresponsible, but deadly as well, and they actually generate the desired response. Which means, it is no longer a joke.

Fuck ‘em! Insurrectionists brave in a Mob, Now Shitting themselves. Cowardly Bastards. Do the Crime; Do the Time! LOCK THEM UP!

BadAstronomer you made it into this article!

American people are dealing with two major issues right now: pandemic(covid-19), and endemic ( neo-nazis).

Looks to me like the were there to kick ass

donwinslow Oh give me a break. The devil made them do it could be a tie who has committed a crimes excuse. Americans don’t believe this imbecilic excuse.

Good!

Anyone who broke the law needs to be prosecuted. If that means fine/jail then so be it. Should have thought about it first regardless of what the Idiot In Chief said. No 'I'm sorry', 'I didn't mean it', 'the President invited us'. Single, married, have children? Too damned bad!

donwinslow Bet he doesn't love them quite as much as he professed to last week

donwinslow I'm so tired of seeing horned dude standing there with his mouth agape. Can someone photoshop an apple in his mouth or something, make sure it's organic though..

donwinslow You think?

What case. Doesn’t matter what he does. He will be acquitted

donwinslow They need to keep doing that

donwinslow They really were. Followers, they don’t have the same thought process or something and maybe they feel better just going along with what someone says - it’s probably in our genes - some of it might have to do with IQ - but I think some of these guys really did believe Trump

Trump used them and dumped them.

donwinslow Good

Nash076 Almost like the 'Nuremberg Defense' didn't save anyone in Hitler's circle of cronies who didn't tuck tail and haul ass to Argentina.

A cult is a group or movement held together by a shared commitment to a charismatic leader or ideology. It has a belief system that has the answers to all of life’s questions and offers a special solution to be gained only by following the leader’s rules

Wow double standard! If this had happened in any country other than the United States. What؟؟؟

Real_Chatty_Cat Following Orange 🍊 orders. Quite right

I don't care, do u?

The Nazi claimed the exact same thing as well

donwinslow True though.

MichaelLepay Haha! Lose-lose situation!

donwinslow

These people are as smart as they look

donwinslow ReasonablySassy lol

donwinslow They deserve each other 👹

What a pity 😁

This picture makes me laugh every time I see it. The 3 stooges

Well that’s not going to help his case...

Hurt his case? How can you get more fucked than he already is?

donwinslow seriously tho- a) they are TERRORISTS...not rioters....and b) what a bunch of frigging delusional fantasy dressing in public wackos! their maturity levels that they dress in costumes, carry weapons...MULTIPLE weapons, big flags on their trucks, MULTIPLE FLAGS...beyond extremist

donwinslow the problem is they know Trump won't be held accountable for anything. Therefore, they get off the hook and so does Trump.

donwinslow

They won't call them Terrorists because the start of a Civil War on January 06, 2021 wasn't terroristy enough to be considered terrorism. It was terrorism, but not like Terrorism terrorism.

donwinslow

donwinslow Poetic af.

donwinslow

donwinslow

donwinslow Trump can not pardon anyone who is involved in the same crime he is being impeached for!!! Constitution Article 2 Section 2. ‘and he shall have power to grant reprieves and pardons for offenses against the United States, except in cases of impeachment.’

😂

donwinslow catsweat seditionhunters retweet

donwinslow America! A wild and crazy Nation.

donwinslow If even 1 rioter is acquitted on the grounds 'following Trump's orders' it's evidence that he did incite insurrection.

donwinslow WHAT CASE

donwinslow Yup, the cult leader told them what to do. I'm not sure if that holds up since they are not Federal Government employees and Trump is not a king where we are all his loyal subjects.

donwinslow Is Shaman of the Sedition channeling Satan in that pic?

donwinslow

donwinslow Following a lawless president is not a good defense. In that case, the Nuremberg Nazis should have never been imprisoned or executed.

donwinslow

Can't deny he has a set of fervent followers; certainly a rainbow coalition following an insipid and unsavoury individual.
