Capitol Insurrection January 6

Capitol Rioter Attempts To Suck Up To Judge And Gets His A*s Handed To Him

John Cameron thought he had the perfect way to curry favor with the federal judge who was about to hand down a sentence for his role in the January 6 Capitol riots.

But the judge, according to The Washington Post, was not impressed:

“Can you guess who my favorite president is?” asked the man about to be sentenced for his role in the attack on the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6.

Senior Judge Thomas F. Hogan did not respond. So John Cameron, a real estate agent from the Seattle area, answered his own question. “Ronald Reagan,” he said during the hearing Monday, suggesting the judge might agree. Hogan was appointed to the federal bench in Washington by Reagan 40 years ago.

Cameron, 55, went on to recite the Pledge of Allegiance, which Reagan made part of Flag Day ceremonies that same year.

Judge Hogan began asking Cameron questions about what he’d done on Jan. 6:

How, he asked, could Cameron claim to have seen no violence or clear sign he could not enter the Capitol during the riot? Did he not hear murderous chants and blaring alarms, smell tear gas, see people climbing up scaffolding and through windows? Did he think, as he said on Facebook, that it was all “fun”? And if so, was he withdrawing his plea to a misdemeanor charge?

Cameron sheepishly replied:

“No. I picketed within the Capitol, and that was illegal. … I would never do it again.”

The judge then let Cameron know exactly what he thought about yahoos who decided to break into the Capitol building and call for former Vice President Mike Pence to be hung:

“I keep hearing from Jan. 6 defendants, ‘We’re being prosecuted,’ like it’s a surprise, or ‘We’re being persecuted,’ like it’s unfair. I do not understand that psychology. What irritates me most is that all of you are claiming you’re patriots; you’re not patriots when you attack the Capitol of the United States.”

Cameron was sentenced to three years probation and 30 days of intermittent confinement, along with a $1,000 fine and $500 restitution.

Before he left the courtroom, Cameron also got this warning from Judge Hogan:

“If you had pleaded to a felony, I would just put you in jail for a long time. The court at least hopes that in this three-year period, you don’t engage in any such conduct again.”

Elections GOP WTF?!

Marjorie Taylor Greene Urges Her Supporters To Commit Voter Fraud: ‘Vote One, Two, Three Times, Whatever’

Ever since Donald Trump lost the 2020 presidential election to President Joe Biden, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) has been one of the most vocal disseminators of the “Big Lie” that the disgraced ex-president actually won but was cheated out of second term as a result of massive voter fraud.

Yet Greene is now encouraging her supporters to commit voter fraud on her behalf in the upcoming midterm election, according to The Independent:

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene encouraged supporters to get out to the polls during the November midterms and went one step further during a video address to advocate that they exercise their right to vote “one, two, three times.”

In the video clip, shared online by the left-wing Twitter account PatriotTakes, an account with more than 450,000 followers, the Georgia Republican is seen standing alongside Mallory Staples, who ran to represent Georgia’s 6th Congressional District in the spring but lost in the Republican primary to Rich McCormick.

The video begins with Greene and Staples encouraging voters to be sure and vote in November. Staples remarks:

“Get out and vote with you and your 20 closest friends and neighbors in November.”

Greene then interjects:

“Vote one, two, three times, whatever.”

As if that’s not bad enough, the two continue to urge voter fraud:

A nervous Ms. Staples then giggles at Ms. Greene’s suggestion to get out “three times” and proffers up the suggestion that voters should get out and do “whatever the law will allow you to do.”

“Which in Georgia is almost anything,” quips Ms. Staples, before the two politicians erupt into more nervous laughter.

Apparently, voter fraud is just fine when done on behalf of Republicans, including those who squawk the loudest about how elections were “stolen” from them.

Much like the her political idol, Marjorie Taylor Greene is a disgusting hypocrite, liar, and thug. Her constituents need to kick her to the curb in November and replace her with someone who will actually represent them.

Trump Tried To Get A Threatening Message To AG Garland After Mar-a-Lago Search: Report

Before Attorney General Merrick Garland revealed the contents of the search warrant that was executed at Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago golf club on August 8, the disgraced former president attempted to pass a threatening message along to the top law enforcement officer in the country.

Citing The New York Times, Business Insider reports:

Trump wanted Garland to know that he had been speaking with people around the country and that they were enraged by the FBI search.

“The country is on fire. What can I do to reduce the heat?” was the message Trump wanted to be conveyed to Garland, a person familiar with the exchange told the paper.

A person close to the former president reached out to a Justice Department official to give Garland the message, the paper reported. It is not clear if the message reached him.

Many who were asked about the message said it was a clear threat, intended to convey a warning to Garland that if he pressed further, the ex-president and his supporters might just stir up violence around the country in response.

Robert Maguire, a research director at the nonpartisan Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington, noted:

“Just a normal former president hinting to the current attorney general of the United States—who was about to make an announcement about the investigation into the former president—that he can fan the flames of violence, before asking ‘What can I do to reduce the heat?'”

On Thursday, Garland announced that he had personally approved the search warrant that resulted in over a dozen boxes of allegedly classified and top secret documents being taken into federal custody.

If it can be proven that Trump knew he wasn’t supposed to keep the materials in an unsecured location, he could be charged under the Espionage Act and sentenced to 10 years for every document he had in his possession.

Rudy Giuliani Tells Right-Wing Host He Fears The Government May Try To Kill Trump

Disgraced former New York City mayor Rudy Giuliani said Sunday that he’s very afraid the U.S. government is going to try and kill one-term ex-president Donald Trump.

Speaking to Newsmax about Trump being caught red-handed by the FBI with boxes of classified and top secret documents, one of the hosts asked Giuliani about comments he’d made about the search warrant served at Mar-a-Lago being just like what they do in Third World nations, which led Rudy to reply:

“All the time. They kill them. They arrest them. They put their families in jail.”

The host then inquired:

“Should Donald Trump be in any fear of the deep state maybe killing him?”

That was all it took for Giuliani to reel off a ridiculous conspiracy theory:

“I do. In many different ways, I do. The amount of hatred generated toward him is the kind of hatred we worry about that would set off a sick person. I mean, if there is anything to the fact that, that hatred can set off sick people. There’s no one where more hatred has been generated by the mainstream media — who do they hate more than Donald Trump. They display it at, uh, Emmy awards, they display it at — everywhere.”

And yet, it was a right-wing “sick person” who attacked FBI headquarters in Cincinnati, Ohio, earlier this week, as CNN reported at the time:

An armed man suspected of trying to breach the FBI’s Cincinnati field office Thursday was killed in Ohio after a vehicle chase and hours-long standoff with law enforcement, authorities say.

The suspect was believed to be armed with an AR-15 rifle and a nail gun, a federal law enforcement source told CNN, and was wearing body armor, according to officials in an Ohio county.

Authorities have not announced a motive. But Shiffer had been known to the FBI because he had an unspecified connection to the January 6, 2021, riot at the US Capitol, and because he had associates within a far-right extremist group, two law enforcement sources told CNN Friday.

If anything kills Donald Trump, it’ll be his gross obesity and disgusting eating habits. A man cannot live on Big Macs and KFC without paying a price.

Trump’s Mood Has Turned ‘Dark’ Since The Search Warrant Was Unsealed On Friday: Report

As he continues to see the evidence against him mount and it becomes clearer that he will likely be charged for mishandling classified information and other sections of the Espionage Act, failed, one-term former president Donald Trump’s mood has grown very dark, according to a report from The Washington Post.

Shortly after the FBI executed a search warrant at Mar-a-Lago while the Trumps were in New York, the disgraced ex-president was ebullient, convinced he would get a political bounce out of Monday’s events in Palm Beach:

Immediately after the search, Trump seemed to believe the FBI had played into his hands. Instead of exhibiting any concern, two people who spoke to him Monday evening both reported that Trump was ‘upbeat,’ convinced the Justice Department had overreached and would cause Republicans to rally to his cause and help him regain the presidency in 2024.

Four days later, when the search warrant and inventory of items seized were unsealed and the world found out Trump had kept nuclear secrets and signals intelligence information for months beyond when he had said he would return them, his mood changed:

By Friday, however, the unsealed court records showed agents had seized 11 sets of classified documents, among other things. Republicans’ howls of protest became somewhat more muted, and people around Trump said his buoyant mood at times turned dark.

How bad are things inside Trump’s head? He’s sharing articles online in which he’s called a “martyr,” making you wonder who explained that word to him and how the ex-president could be so clueless as to not know using such a word isn’t exactly something that should be seen as a compliment, especially when attached to a man as immoral and irreligious as he is.

For now, Trump is lashing out at others, trying to accuse former president Barack Obama of failing to turn over documents after he left the White House, even though the National Archives says Obama did no such thing and has indeed handed over all of his presidential records.

Consider the desperation in this statement from Trump:

“President Barack Hussein Obama kept 33 million pages of documents, much of them classified.

“How many of them pertained to nuclear? Word is, lots!”

But as The Post notes, “Nowhere in the statement did he address whether he had done the same.”
