Isn’t he a fine looking, upstanding man!

Ladies, you’ll have to wait your turn, though. The boys on his cell block have called dibs.

Yet more people have thrown away their lives for the political extremism of DJT.

When did so many Americans lose the plot? I guess it's been brewing for decades, with the Oklahoma bombing in the mid-90s. Trump's more of a symptom than a cause.

He's the spark that lit the tinder.

One of the reasons why the FBI reports that right wing terrorism is the biggest threat to the US, even more than foreign Islamic terrorism.

Maybe if he molested a child, but kidnapping, naw.

Maybe he can use that line as a defence.

That’s not how it usually works in the prison population.

This guy looks just exactly as one would imagine a White Nationalist, conspiracy (and likely drug) addled domestic terrorist to look.

Looking at his mug-shot, it's almost hard to believe that he is headed to prison for the next 16 years, lol.

More justice for the far-right, pro-Trump radical domestic terrorists that planned to kidnap the Michigan Gov and execute her on live TV.

This is the face of MAGA-world - hate, violence, and terrorism, no different from ISIS or the Taliban.

Prosecutors recently revealed that there were a dozen confidential informants working on the case. The evidence they helped gather provided a glimpse into American extremism and how some self-proclaimed militia groups collaborate with one another, including pooling resources and building on violent ideas.

Yeah, Trump had nothing to do with this, nice try, not to minimize the the threat at all, but to invoke the former president over something he had nothing to do with (one reason why the Dems are not talking about this issue a lot)

Democrats?

I get it that so many want to see a knucklehead like this behind bars for what he tried to do. I get it. But what I don't get is how so many in the US have ended up like this, alienated and willing to do violence against their own people. What is the US missing that so many are being lost to conspiracy theories and hatred of the other? What can turn that around? And not just the US it seems but other advanced nations have caught the same virus.

Does that solve the larger problem. Sure these guys have to be held accountable but there has to be something more or it's wash - rinse - repeat.

The internet is awesome because it gave a voice to everyone. The internet sucks because everyone can access it, even those too stupid to realize that most of the voices should be ignored.

There are a lot of really stupid people out there, promising simple solutions to complex issues, while pushing a fear agenda. And it's led to this.

Absolutely not, that’s why the Dems don’t even mention him that much in this debacle.

With the help of the Feds, I think we will hear more of that in the new year. More subpoenas coming

Nobody encouraged him to commit felony kidnapping with an eye towards political murder.

No Joey genius here thought that one up all by himself.

Me three!

These goobers were so happy and proud of trying to overthrow the government for their Cult leader, that they very helpfully left their phones on, took video, POSTED video of them committing crimes/bragging about committing crimes/talking to others about committing crimes.

Well, the FBI has all of that information, and if they haven't gotten to you yet, MAGA-Moron, sit tight. They are on the way.

They took care of the low hanging fruit - the merely useful (and relatively beneign) idiots. Now they are taking care of the chief insurrectionists - the Elmer Stewart Rhoads and Enrique Proud Boys dill-weeds. The guys who took orders from SOMEONE and did the nuts and bolts (actually they were so incompentent they only brought bolts. These guys were - to use the analogy - "nutless wonders") work of trying to overthrow the elected government of the United States of America.

These guys are going away for quite a spell, maybe not QUITE 16 years, but it sure isn't for lack of trying.

I hope that next, the FBI will come knocking on the doors of everyone in the war room of the Willard Hotel: The Stevie 3-chins, Rudy-hair dyes, Rodger-weird glasses. the planners (extra points if they can get Mr. Green Bay Sweep with the scarf no less because nothing says tough guy like a cashmere scarf) of a coup who seem to think that foiled, they can just walk away like nothing ever happened.

THAT is not happening. These "people" are going to face a reckoning as well.

THEN, I hope they get back to more guys like our dear Adam.

Lord knows that the Federal Government has paid enough for private prisons to lock up non-violent drug offenders in the past.

Let's pay private prisons to lock up the goobers that deserve it for a change.
