Going down for sure.

Of course it was sedition. Anyone can see that.

Rhodes told the man, speaking of Trump, “If he's not going to do the right thing and he’s just gonna let himself be removed illegally then we should have brought rifles.” He said, “We should have fixed it right then and there. I’d hang (expletive) Pelosi from the lamppost,” Rhodes said, referring to Democratic House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.

Well, that sums it up pretty well, doesn't it....

So besides putting 140 police officers in the hospital, and bringing a noose for Mike Pence, they planned on making it a "double-hanging" and string Pelosi up too...

Amazing some people still defend these violent far-right domestic terrorists no different than ISIS or the Taliban...

Maybe this is why, if Dems would take a moment and rest their heads.

Well, thanks for proving my point....a perfect example....

I think you made my point actually.

You defended a guy that said this; *Rhodes told the man, speaking of Trump, “If he's not going to do the right thing and he’s just gonna let himself be removed illegally then we should have brought rifles.” He said, “We should have fixed it right then and there. I’d hang (expletive) Pelosi from the lamppost,” Rhodes said, referring to Democratic House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.*

Nope, you proved mine....perfectly....again, thanks....

“Jurors never heard from three other Oath Keepers who have pleaded guilty to seditious conspiracy”

Why would they plead guilty for ‘bombastic’ role playing?

Sorry, I defended this:

We also expect far-left groups to continue to engage law enforcement and their opposition with weapons such as bottles, bricks, commercial grade fireworks, and laser pointers.

On December 22, 2020, a Lieutenant of the MPD Special Operations Branch messaged colleagues, “Well, here we go again. I am sure you are aware of the First Amendment demonstrations to occur again on Wednesday, January 6, 2021; hopefully it will not be as big as the November 14th or December 12, 2020, weekend.” 

In a December 19, 2020, email to Capitol Police and US Park Police colleagues, an MPD Homeland Security Bureau official told them he was “hoping” that an announcement about an upcoming pro-Trump rally in January “is a hoax.” 

Nope, you proved mine once again...appreciate it.

They will probably be guilty tomorrow,so the jury can spend time ,instead of coup up in a room,

*A December 28, 2020, Park Police Executive Brief details the January 6 protest as follows: *

There is some concern that individuals may display aggressive and desperate behavior as they interpret 6 January as their final opportunity to act on their grievances. A recent event on Christmas morning may directly reference this desperation leading to violent action by a motivated and determined individual.

So if Nancy, Wray, Blinken, and Myorkas knew this, why didn't anyone take some preliminary precautionary measures? I think we should get some answers next year.
